How the show should’ve ended was first half of season 9 was the wedding weekend. The second half would be focused Ted and Tracy and him slowly losing contact with his friends. And then we get a slow realisation and introduction to her dying, and not just done in 30 seconds. Then once he ends the story, his kids realise the story was not about the mother. But about Ted and his friends, and his kids realise he’s been too occupied with them and lost contact with his friends and they have their blessing for him to reconnect. The final episode could’ve been us mourning the mother, whilst letting Ted and the gang reconnect and end on a happy note. Not just waste a whole season on a wedding and then break Barney and Robin up, and immediately kill the mother off.
That's kinda goes against one of the points the ending was making, the last 2 episodes are showcasing how Ted's memory of everyday events is starting to focus more on his life with Tracy and his kids instead of his friends, this also works for the audience as a way for us to let go of these characters and know that life goes on, it's a "you aren't going to see every moment of their lives anymore, and that's ok" we didn't need more time with Tracy, we had more than enough. The final season took place over the course of 2 days, minus the final episodes which take place over around 2 decades, that's not a coincidence and I feel like a lot of people just step over that. Also your comments about the kids is just what happens, they realize Ted's stuck in the past, mourning that he's not as close as he used to be with his friends, and his wife, so they give him a push, recontextualizeing the story for him, ted looks back to move forward.
This show started okay, continued mid, became bad at seaoson 5 to 6 and absolutely sht at season 7 to 8. Season 9 is the worse season in sitcom history. Its like a fail compilation on yt from 2010
I disagree with a lot of your opinions, obviously, because that's how opinions work, but as a fan of this show I actually really enjoy hearing other people's perspectives a lot of the time. I'm just glad that I FINALLY found someone who shares my opinion on the "Ted is bad and lied about barney and himself to make him look better" theory. Everyone seems to forget how Ted ACTUALLY portrays himself, with "No Tomorrow" is my favorite example of this. Thank you phallus 😊
here before this video blows up to an insane level, i'll see you guys in 4 years when this gets recommended to everyone side note: i just finished my own rewatch of this show a couple days ago and had been watching it consistently for 3 weeks.
The character development was not thrown out the window, everything that happened made sense. The writers didn't just patch on the ending they already filmed just because they had it even though the story already moved on, no the were navigating the story to this conclusion the entire time, people just don't like to pay attention to the points in the show that showcase that, like barney family all being like him and moving past that behavior by having kids. His brother eevn relapses in the final season like he was going to do. Also Marshall's dream counts as foreshadowing, when it comes to a love that deep the only thing that could break it is death, and even then it takes a mourning period to fully let go of those feelings.
Sounds about right. Thanks for checking it out though! Much appreciated. I’m happy with the B. If you’d like to elaborate on our conflicting opinions, that would be great. If not, have a nice day regardless and thanks again!
@@phalanx9089 You hate lilly, even when she has good moments, and everything barney does, even when it's not so funny, you find the best moment of the episode. And many episodes that I love You don't like and vice versa. About your grade I am just kidding But I Just finish season 5 in your video, i'll finish latter
i'm confused, you act kind of high and mighty about how horrible these misogynistic jokes are but u like the character barney, their just jokes man and their not even man spirited. its ok to joke about other groups or people if their is no mean intent and none of these do
Very nice and in-depth video!
@@OscarStinson Thanks a lot for checking it out! Your compilations and edits were a big inspiration for it!

It definitely sounds a lot better than what we actually got, yes
holy shit this is so good!

Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Not all fans must resonate on every topic, so that’s great.
Also… hehe “Phallus” :))
What a task that must have been. Great work compiling all this together, it’s great to have some more How I Met Your Mother content on UA-cam!
This will be the one that propels your channel. Book it. Thanks for this, my fav show!
Oh thank you so much! You are too kind.
One of my favourite shows. I’m glad finally someone has done a retrospective of the show without solely talking about the finale
Thanks for giving me a way to say that I watched this show without actually going through all those long episodes
Bro how has this not blown up this video is so well made
I was in a not so great place, but everything changed when I met Phalanx's mother. Also, good video :)
so you're the "boyfriend" she keeps on mentioning. Alright O_0
This is pretty good content my man!
here before this video blows up to an insane level,
i'll see you guys in 4 years when this gets recommended to everyone
side note: i just finished my own rewatch of this show a couple days ago and had been watching it consistently for 3 weeks.
See you in 4 years! By then I will probably just cringe at every word I said.
Good video, would like it twice if I could
