(I have not watched it in seven years) also I think this is an extra bad hell? It's not normal hell, it's The Empty. Like maybe he comes back if they kill it at the end, but it's super duper hell you don't get to come back from, from what I understand after reading one article

The Empty isn't Hell Hell is a place God intentionally created to catch evil souls and keep them locked up without destroying them (because God can't bear to throw anything away) The Empty is where things go that really are truly destroyed

The problem is that in Supernatural metaphysics, really truly destroying things is a new concept and one that doesn't actually work The Empty used to only exist in potentia, back when God and the Darkness were eternal and unchanging

The world of conflict and death God created allowed for the possibility for the first time of things that first are and then, later, are not But are never *completely* not because existence still calls to them, implicitly, like a puzzle with a missing piece

The sapient being known as the Empty experiences its own existence as having been perfect peace and dreamless sleep, until the actions of beings in creation - especially the Winchesters - started giving it form and identity in negative space

It experiences its existence as the torment of things that are not seeking to be again, which is inherently contradictory and gives it a headache Its agenda is to stop all beings that exist, especially the Winchesters, from destroying more things and filling it up more

Destroy everything so nothing else gets destroyed as a consequence of the main characters being murder-hobos living out of their car and killing everything they saw Makes sense

Like, I legitimately appreciate learning that even after I stopped watching the show, the basic format of a GM desperately flipping through increasingly esoteric monster books as 2 minmaxed PCs kill everything that has a stat block never gave way to something different.

Yeah well The Empty turns out to be, in fact, a decoy Big Bad It wants all the noise and racket from Creation to stop but it's not on the ball enough to come up with a plan like destroying all Creation to stop all further destruction

The actual bad guy is God himself, who set all this cosmic drama up for his own amusement and satisfaction, as he does everything, and is in that sense the ultimate common enemy of all

It turns into this whole meta thing where the Empty is a very untrustworthy ally against God himself (Who can you enlist as an ally against the author of the story you're a character in? Well, ideas an author deliberately deleted from their MS have a way of sticking around)
