Chuck Lost On Purpose

SpoilerSeason 15

I think the finale makes it extremely clear that Chuck chose to lose on purpose in an attempt to round out his story. Countless times the show specifies that Chuck is All-Knowing in response to his thwarting of the boys' plans. I feel this is an intentional and obvious piece of info meant to make Chucks loss intentional as Chuck could not have been ignorant to the plan and to Jacks absorption.

It also reads as a meta commentary. After failing to have his Cain and Abel ending after Season 5, Chuck began to resort to other stories that slowly got worse and worse, building up to a rehash of the Cain and Abel ending. This is evident in Metatrons meeting with Chuck where we find out how lazy his writing has gotten. He attempts the ending again in Season 14s finale. Failing again, he becomes angry. Through the season he slowly realizes he can never get the ending he wants naturally, so he opts for a new ending. The one where he loses and is dethroned at the hands of Sam and Dean Winchester, legendary hunters.

I feel it is so because Chuck could not have lost truly while being allknowing, and also due to how Chuck presents himself after losing his power. He essentially glazes himself and the ending hes living, calling it glorious that he gets to die at the hands of the Winchesters, gassing up the story. Since Chucks Knowledge is no longer within him, he does not know how to proceed to his desired ending, making the boys' decisions to spare him shocking and saddening to him as opposed to his glee at the prospect of death to them.

What do you guys think? Whats your interpretation of the show? I tried to find other opinions regarding this but failed.
