I kind of agree with Gordon, but I think since Metatron wasn't really a villain until his true intentions were revealed, I'd say secondary is correct. I mean, he was more in the background, compared to Crowley, who was actively causing everyone headaches, and caused the death of many Winchester allies and friends.

Since Metatron is acknowledged as a main antagonist in season 9, personally, I think his status as secondary villain in season 8 is accurate. I think one can compare his role in season 8 to Gordon's role as a lesser enemy.
