If they could cause spontaneous combustion. ..


Why didn't they do that to the Winchesters? Do they need something first in order to do that? I forget what caused the combustion.

I know the Winchesters are main characters but I hope there is a reasonable explanation.

It's possible I missed something, but I thought that the person had to be holding the pocketwatch.

The shop keeper combusted while holding it and it was only after the lady picked it up that she went up in flames.

No because Adam's grandfather and the Tinderdate didn't have it and they also went up in flames

MOM?!

And it must be some kind of known M.O. of the Thule because the immolated victims are what drew their attention in the first place.

For the same reason they don't keep their weapons on bungee cords and James Bond villains always have to tell him how they are going to kill him before they try. Heroes die = no story. They provide the story, we provide the willing suspension of disbelief.

They are shown having to concentrate for a while to make combustion happen (that whole lurking-in-the-shadows thing).

But last season also implies a level of divine protection that the Brothers (well...Dean) enjoy. It doesn't stop supernatural creatures from attacking, but it may give the smarter and more aware ones like the Thule pause and force them to come up with more elaborate ways of getting rid of the Winchesters.

It's kind of like how it's easy enough to shoot a Thule in the head, but if you don't also burn the body, he's just going to come back later.

Was it shown or implied?
