    "I thought love was just something idiots thought they felt. But that woman has a hold on my heart that I could not break if I wanted to. And there have been times that I wanted to. But I could not stop loving her anymore that I could stop breathing. I am hopelessly, irretrievably in love with her. More than she knows." life.

    I really wish Barney and Robin stayed together. I understand why it ended the way it did. I can see how everything plays to the ending and how life doesn't always work out perfectly. But I really liked them together and really felt like Barney and Robin really grew up and matured with each other. They were a perfect fit.

      +erokvp18 Yeah the only reason why I don't hate the ending is because it's true and realistic because every relationship can't be perfect and have a happy ending. But they spent 2 seasons making them get together and then a few minutes for them to get divorced. It would've been more logical if they had spent more time showing their "incompatibility" then put her with Ted- that way we see how they might not work together and remember the "bad" parts of relationship.

      +Mnatalie99 they ARE compatible, they have too much in common than anyone in the gang even marshall and lily, they loved each other, they've went through alot and finally they got together and got married but for some stupid STUPID reason carter and craig decided that barney and robin wouldn't last bc robin is travelling too much bc of her job, they could've at least had some good reason to break them up after only 3 years of marriage like one of them cheated but that would never happen bc they LOVE eachother so much so they picked this stupid excuse to break them up, you know i would've been beyond satisfied with the gang finding out in the finale that robin is actually agent hill from S.H.I.E.L.D, that would've been way better than this fucking finale,
      AND get this, they gave ted two happy endings: having kids and being with the girl he loves.
      i mean for godsakes not even the cast likes the finale

    Ah the pain is coming back. That was so perfect. I has a similar journey to yours, although I started watching when 4 seasons had aired so I didn't know of the endgames obviously. But even in S9 I remember saying to people how perfect this show is cos it truly doesn't matter to me who ends up together. I loved both Ted/Robin and Barney/Robin for different reasons. And then I somehow managed to be pissed off at the end. It was just weird, rushed. I felt like this story was a book that they slashed a sword through.
    Wonderful job on the video and capturing all the pain

Your video just summed up why Barney and Robin's journey felt so damaged by the finale. Your video was brilliant and I thought the voice overs really added to it!

  • @charlenecamilleri8580

    to everyone that thinks the ending was realistic. It was not. they spent years growing into a compatible couple. they loved each other like crazy and once they were married they would never let it go again. I mean the writers couldn't even find a proper reason to break them up. because she travels too much??? that is no good excuse. they were just so desperate to get ted and robin back that they overlooked what an amazing change all the carachters had made.
    I'm sorry. this just still gets me on my nerves.

    • @tammy3545
      @tammy3545 6 років тому +9

      I never understood the traveling thing. She rarely traveled in all of the years before she got married and we were supposed to believe she was now traveling all of the time and that is why they got divorced. They never once talked about it in season 8 or 9. Even when they looked at each other at Ted and Tracys wedding it seemed like they were in love with each other. The writers had a vision and I think they never took into account that these characters would change.

      People say the finale was "realistic" JUST because it was dramatic but hell, all that build-up for nothing? What about the characters' growth?

    I'd been rooting for Barney and Robin since the very first freaking episode, do the fact that they didn't end up together in the end makes me VERY pissed off. It's obvious Barney loves her, and it's VERY fucking rare for him to love any girl. Also, the entire show when Ted tells his kids about meeting their mother, he and the kids refer to Robin as AUNT ROBIN. So WHY in the HELL does she end up being the MOTHER OF TED'S CHILDREN? IT'S COMPLETELY LAME AND IL- WAIT FOR IT - LOGICAL. And it makes me so unbelievably angry.

    I was completely shocked at the finale episode! RobinxBarney is the most awesome couple I have ever known and just in one episode, you guys (the director and those people who created such a crappy ending for this series) ruined it! You made me hate Robin and feel sorry for Barney and I DON'T LIKE THESE FEELINGS FOR MY FAVOURITE CHARACTERS!!! In most of season 9 you made me believe that two lone wolfs can be together. But now? All I have is a huge disappointment.
    By the way, nice video! It means a lot to me when I see one of the best quote of my legen...wait for it...dary hero. I was almost cry when read it. Thank you!

      I think that Ted and Robin made the greatest of friends but I don't think they were compatible as a couple. Although as a group they had some common interests, Ted and Robin personally had nothing in common. And I think that over time they would have grown to not like each other so it seems unrealistic to me to think that after all of these years, they would be able to make things worse. Robin needed excitement. Ted liked being a boring old dad. I just don't think that Ted and Robin would make it.

Barney was a whole new person, Robin changed him, and in just 5 MINUTES they were able to cancel everything that happened to the character, like he was never with Robin, never been in love with anyone and never been married for 3 years. They did all of this just to prove that all he needed was a baby? With a who-knows-who?

    This is one of the reasons I prefer the alternate ending. It hinted at the possibility that Barney and Robin might get back together.

    After shannon, robin is the first woman whom barney truly love and have real relationshiop. Means that only Robin able to open his heart after his heart broken by shannon. Only after robin, barney started to get into serious relationship with other girl that is Nora and Quinn. Maybe trying to get over robin but at last it was robin whom he married to. After they divorced, he did no get into any serious relationship.
