The Ending To How I Met Your Mother Is So Shit. (This Is A Long Post Btw, Sorry)

The ending to how I met your mother is so shit. (This is a long post btw, sorry)

(Spoilers) Ted falls in love, he's getting married he's got two kids, and Robin has a job she loves plus she's been through so much character development that her and Ted don't really work anymore.

But the writers decide that they should end up together anyway. So Tracy (the mother) dies? And we only find out about that storyline from "she got sick" and "she's been gone six years now"

All because the writers needed to shove Robin and Ted back together. It could have worked but instead of taking the time to work through that really complex storyline it was covered in half an episode

It just seems so meaningless to go through the entire story leading up to how he met her, only to end it the second she meets him and leaving the last bit of the story to be "is it cool if I date your aunt Robin"

The show should have ended at 15:38 because everything after that is completely unnecessary.

Also why was Tracy only ever "the mother"? We only learn her name at the end of the last episode and every time she's in the show it's only to show Ted got his dream of a wife that has his two kids.

Season 9 should have kept the wedding to the first few episodes and then moved on and actually let us see Tracy. Let us actually see what the show was building up to for 9 seasons. And then either leave out her dying and Ted dating Robin or adding another fucking season

I feel like so many shows make the worst people the main character and rely on people rooting for them just bc they're the main character

(This is a long ass really bitchy post about lots of fandoms I'm in sorry in advance if you choose to read this. Also these are just my opinions, please don't be mad at me 😅)

Once upon a time - Emma Swan screws Regina over billions of times (if you put up your child for a closed adoption, that means you can't go steal him back because his new mum is a bit mean to you??) but whenever Regina is an asshole back (or a lot of the time when she didn't do anything) she's the "evil character"

How I met your mother - Ted Mosby is full of himself, never developed as a character and doesn't really care about any of his friends feelings.

Batman - Bruce himself. What the fuck, why does he treat his kids like that??? Tim's 16th birthday? In some older comics he punched Dick? Also he's a ✨billionaire✨ in a city that's such a mess and never tried to help with that (to my knowledge)

Heathers - Veronica is a bad person that acts like she's amazing. No one in this is really meant to be a fully good person though so moving on.

Hazbin Hotel - I know I'm meant to root for Charlie's dream but holy shit can she stay out of other people's business for once? Her "rehabilitation" is peer pressure from an adult woman who acts like she's 12

Miraculous Ladybug - Marinette is a literal stalker. She's such a an awful person and I swear every season I've watched she's got worse. Just because you're a "hero" doesn't mean your life is more important than someone else's

Most Alice Osman books - Angel from IWBFT, Francis from radio silence, I forgot her name because I didn't get that far in but the girl from loveless, all drive me crazy. They're so self centered (Francis sees someone crying and immediately makes it about her?)

Also Ted from the lorax (self centered and a bit creepy), Harry Potter (billionare wizard chad), Mirabel from encanto (self centered and victim complex) and most anime protagonists

And there are a bunch of shows where the asshole main characters are intentional they still get so much more development than these people (blitz from Helluva boss, the main character in doki doki literature club, etc)

Yes that's how I feel about them! They didn't work when they were together and they broke up. So then they got back together and broke up again and that cycles a bit, constantly proving that they don't work until she falls in love with someone else (one of Ted's best friends too) and gets married. And then not even two episodes later they're split up and it's back to Robin and the guy that she wasn't in love with.

After Barney is prepared to change his lifestyle for her (Barney marrying anyone would have been a huge deal) and promising to never lie to her (again, huge for Barney) she went back to the man who never did anything for her (also the man who made her give up her dogs? But people forget about that)

And the entire time she was getting married he wouldn't be happy for her because he felt like he deserves the girl who doesn't want him. Even after he married someone and has 2 children he's still obsessed with Robin. The show should have ended with Robin and Barney married and Ted should have actually gone to chicago and grown up

Sorry for the long response, Ted makes me mad

The more I watch himym the more I fucking hate Ted. He's so full of himself, he constantly acts like he's better than all his friends and (minor s9 spoilers) gets really mad whenever someone suggests he move on from Robin.

Robin is literally getting married to one of his best friends (Ted is literally the best man) and he's still trying when she's told him she's not interested.

Instead of trying to be happy for them or even just talking about his feelings, he's moving to a different state? Because he got rejected?

I know I'm meant to be rooting for him but is he capable of caring about anyone but himself? If he's this unbearable from his own point of view, how horrible must he be from the other people's?

I would love to see more Bernard conspiracy theory shitposts

Our next theory, brought forth by Bernard Dowd, is that Batman and Batwoman are the same genderfluid person
