Samuel Campbell, the maternal grandfather of the Winchester brothers who was resurrected by Crowley, is often seen as one of the most pointless revivals in the show. The main reason for the criticism he receives is that he contributes nothing substantial to the plot and is overall an unlikeable character. Some fans have even named Samuel the worst character on the show, highlighting his complete lack of care for his grandsons.

4. Cole

Cole, who sought revenge on Dean for killing his monster father, is another character that rubbed fans the wrong way. First off, they weren't convinced with the casting choice, stating that the character was supposed to be younger than Dean, but he didn't look younger at all. In addition to that, though fans were sympathetic to his motives, it bothered them that he abandoned his wife and child to get revenge and torture Sam without knowing the full story.

3. Uriel

Uriel was an angel who generated strong negative reactions from fans, pretty much constantly irritating viewers. So much so that his obnoxiousness and general lack of redeeming qualities was what gave many fans a reason to mistrust other angels in the first place.

2. Metatron

This antagonist garnered significant dislike from fans due to his manipulative nature and the way he uses others to achieve his goals. Fans point out that he's a pretentious and self-centered coward who hides behind and exploits good people, causing chaos and destruction. Fans love to hate him because, in their opinion, he never actually gets the much-needed reality check.

1. Mary Winchester

Mary Winchester became an increasingly disliked character, particularly after season 11. Most fans didn't appreciate that she lied to her sons repeatedly and chose the British Men of Letters over them. Additionally, many found Mary's arc inconsistent with the earlier story that was built around her character.
