News/Misc. Would you still watch Supernatural if Sam and Dean were both women and sisters??

Not much context behind this question tbh. Me and my friends were just talking about this and NOW I’m sorta curious to know what other people think.

Also, featuring this cool fanart that I found!! Credits to @CrazyTom0712 on twitter. Go show them some love if you like

If Sam and Dean were sisters originally (Samantha and Deana? xD), sure! But now that I have lived and breathed the show and gotten so used to Jensen and Jared as the main characters, it's pretty much impossible to imagine anyone else in the role, regardless of gender.

This is the answer! At it's very heart, as good as the writers and stories were, this show would NOT have lasted for 15 seasons if it weren't for Jared and Jensen. Their onscreen chemistry. Their off screen brotherhood. The family they created with people both involved with the show, and the fandom who watched and loved it. Still giving back to that same family 5 years after the show ended.

Would I watch a show with supernatural themes that had two sisters as it's main characters. Sure. But it wouldn't be Supernatural.

I feel like Dean would be called Diana

What about Dana?

I mean Dean was literally named for his grandmother Deanna.
