(2/2) to be so perfect for each other in every way possible. We see Ted as this very emotional character throughout the series and though six years is a good amount of time, it really wouldn't have been enough for Ted to just move on from THE ONE.

(1/2) dude me too okay technically i enjoyed the ending but it really hurt my feels nine years of buildup wasted afhdsfdsajfd like not really wasted, but you know what I mean, yeah? What really bothers me the most is that the mother and Ted were
Really the bare fact that they kill the mother off doesn't bother me. No it's just that they gave her a good five minutes of screentime and about ten seconds stating she died. Nothing else, not even in the millions of time jumps we see her like a third of the time. Their relationship which this entire series was building up to was crammed into like what 15 minutes- when the whole thing deserved at least a few episodes. No one was shown mourning her death. They built up Barney and Robin- all their struggle and change and tears- to become these better people capable of a functional marriage. And it would have been great, they're realistic, they're not perfect for each other, they would have had issues to work out in the future, but it would have been just as realistic that they put effort into their marriage and have it work. Realism is not always and does not have to be bitter. Instead what we get is characters that are doomed to fall back on their old habits, old toxic habits that have screwed them up horribly multiple times in the past. The show was far from perfect yeah, but it was built up to a perfect closure with its themes of change, acceptance, moving on, and the finale gave us the exact opposite. This isn't even mentioning that Marshall and Lily were more-or-less sidelined, when this ending should have been just as much about them as the other three. Lily especially, at least Marshall ran into career issues, she gets dumped as a stay-at-home mom with three kids with no mention of her beloved art career or any word or thought from her about it otherwise
okay rant over sorry this was long
