Mary Winchester is the Most Annoying Character in Supernatural

She made the dumbest decision once she was brought back from the dead.

Mary Winchester was the reason why the Winchesters became a family of hunters. This was an excellent and tragic twist, since Mary was secretly a hunter, and refused to ever tell her family about her secret life, only for her death to result with her loved ones becoming a part of this insane lifestyle.

Sam and Dean did run into their mother when she was young, and they both learn about her hunter life when they go back in time. It was interesting to see how Sam and Dean became such great hunters, and it was kind of bittersweet for them to reunite with her in such a way.

Then the show decides to drop an interesting bombshell of Mary coming back from the dead, and she teams up with her two sons to continue saving people from dangerous monsters.

Unfortunately, this doesn't last long, because Mary ends up instantly betraying her sons with the first chance that she got.

Mary joins the British Men of Letters, an organization of hunters that were enemies of Sam and Dean.

I could not believe that Mary would do this to her sons. It was an instant betrayal, and this was pretty shocking, because Sam and Dean were kidnapped by the British Men of Letters, and they were tortured by one of the members too. This was a total 180 that Mary did to her sons, and it was all because she learned about the great gadgets they kept around to help people fight monsters, yet, they were willing to torture these two men to get information on the hunters in America.

They were complete hypocrites, and Mary decided it would be a good idea to join these bastards.

The worst part was that she kept this alliance from her two sons, and I could not get over this.

Mary Winchester was depicted as a woman that was willing to do whatever it takes to keep her family safe, yet, she was willing to join a group of people that had TORTURED her two sons. And let's face it, this alliance was kind of stupid, because it only led to one person, Ketch, being the last person alive from the British Men of Letters, to actually stick around with the Winchesters and become an ally.

Mick would have been a close second, but he was killed before that could actually happen. Dude should have been the one to come back from the dead, instead of Ketch in my opinion.

Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that Mary did form a mini romance with Ketch too, which was pretty crazy...considering that he was working for the enemy...and Mary was willing to spend some quality time with him.

Mary's character really did shock me after she came back from the dead. John Winchester wasn't exactly a good parental figure either to Sam and Dean, but at least he wasn't willing to betray both of these sons to the enemy like Mary did.

I was so glad that the brothers instantly got angry with her when she first confessed to Sam and Dean about her secret alliance with the British Men of Letters. It felt so satisfying for Dean to call Mary by her name instead of seeing her as his mother, and then they kicked her out of the bunker, for betraying them in such a messed up way.

This was definitely one of the few moments in the show where I was 100% on both of the brothers' side. And yes, Dean can be a drama queen sometimes, but his anger here was pretty justified.

Did Mary coming back from the dead piss you off the first time you were watching the show?
