Just watched How I Met Your Mother fully for the first time. My thoughts:
Every time they gave Barney character development and growth they then take him three steps back, which is annoying. Let him develop a real personality beyond a horny cringe teenager in a grown man’s body!!!!
Honestly, I relate to Ted’s yearning for love and romance to the point of being delulu. Me too Ted. Also, as a horn player, if someone stole me a blue French horn, I would be married to them on the spot lol
Although I don’t hate her, I do not like Lilly (even though she has great moments too). From wanting to get hit on by men that aren’t Marshall, to dipping to San Francisco, to lowkey lusting after Robin, to being bleh after Marshall first got offered a job as a judge…idk so many icks. Like dang girl, you have your whole life to travel and live in Italy, it ain’t that deep. Many parents sacrifice travelling until their kids are off to college
Robin, my beloved Robin, you are so perfect my beautiful meow meow. Idc about your flaws, you’re a star who always knew what she wanted❤️ I wish they did not ruin her ending by putting her with Ted.
I wish they spent more time developing the storyline of the mother, Tracy. Season 9 felt so rushed after waiting for ages to finally meet her. We don’t get to see Ted do much grand gestures for her compared to his past ex partners. Makes me sad since she was the perfect fit for Ted.
The show has led me to embrace the chaos that is my late 20’s while wrapping up law school like Marshall.
Marshall’s law storyline is lowkey so common…go to law to save the world and end up working in corporate to afford a stable family life. This happens a lot since the recruitment pipeline into Big Law is much more visible and straightforward compared to workplaces that focus more on public interest issues. I like that the show did not villainize Marshall for this and showed his emotional struggles.
On the law note, a lawyer would never sneak into another firm to steal intel. Yes it is a fictional show but I was like bruh you would get rekt by the Bar Association so fast for breaking the code of ethics
The timeline jumping and changing of narrators was often too hectic imo
Overall I love the show for how it developed crazy weird background lore for each character. Would watch again lol
