It seems quite clear to me that they’re not going the “easy” route aka taking what has been said in the main show about John and Mary as granted and fixing the “John wasn’t supposed to know” situation with some memory wipe or whatever.
Dean doesn’t seem to simply be narrating a story the way one can just tell a tale. He says he needs to uncover the truth. Something about his pen and journal makes me think about the original concept of Supernatural as the story of journalists investigating paranormal events.
His role in the narrative must have a deeper significance than simply “Dean popular, Jensen good”. Robbie is too smart for that. I do believe we’ll see Dean figure out that things he was told were lies, or at least not quite the truth.
I don’t think the prequel is going to just shape itself around what is supposed to happen later. I think the main show is going to be reshaped, as things we were assuming to be true turn out not to be.
The problem with prequels is that they already have a fixed point to end to, right? Well, you solve the problem if you reshape the audience’s understanding of the main storyline.
