Production
Creator Eric Kripke originally did not want angels to be featured in the series, believing God worked through hunters rather than angels.[25] However, with so many demonic villains, he and the writers changed their minds when they realized that the show needed angels to create a "cosmic battle". As Kripke put it, "We had the empire, but we didn't really have the rebellion."[26] They had always wanted to have a storyline with a few central characters but having massive battles in the background, comparable to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings, and the addition of angels allowed for this.[27] Kripke has found that it has opened up many new storylines.[26]
