Preliminary Poll
Tracy McConnell (The Mother)
Tumblr media
Submission reason:
killed off and then ted gets back with robin. the writers totally misjudged how much chemistry ted and tracy had, and how much the fans would grow to love tracy. so they stuck with their original plan of killing her off-screen and it was not good. it was a terrible finale

Having just rewatched How I Met Your Mother, I canot stress enough how much the ending of the show is a slap in the face for a bet I didn't lose.
The show managed a very difficult thing, and that is having Tracy live up to the expectations set during the run of the show. She was the definition of Legen-wait-for-it-dary.
If they had wanted to subvert the expectations in some way, Ted could've told the story while Tracy was in surgery, and he distracted himself. It would have explained why some of the stories were inappropriate. And the show then could've ended with a call that Tracy had gotten out of the surgery, and she was well and then another time skip where all the kids are grown up and everyone is gathered together for some important event, like Ted turning 60 or Ted and Tracy renewing their vows. Or heck, just let it end on a more ambiguous note and have the story be over when Ted and Tracy chat in the train station right after they first meet.
Another subversion of expectations could've come in the form of Ted being the one who was sick, and he told the story to his children so they would know exactly how much Ted loved their mother and also to enforce that even if he were to die his friends would be there for Penny and Luke. Though this one wouldn't fit quite as well with the rest of the show, with Ted getting emotional over a mother missing his daughter's wedding and him saying that he would take another 45 minutes with Tracy if he could.
Ted and Robin don't work as a couple. They are better off as friends. This is based on the show that we got. Had the show ended after three or four seasons, then sure, the ending that we got would have been very funny, and a lot of people (myself included) would have been satisfied.
Subversion of expectation works if the rest of the story is kept in mind. There was an extremely poignant moment when Ted let go of Robin and told her that he doesn't love her "that way anymore."
Then you're telling me that all the kids got from the story was that Ted was in love with Robin? No. Just no.

GET TO KNOW ME ✰ [6/10] TV Shows ⤷ How I Met Your Mother (2005-2014)
"Love doesn't make sense! I mean, you can't logic your way into or out of it; love is totally nonsensical. But we have to keep doing it, or else we're lost and love is dead and humanity should just pack it in. Because love is the best thing we do. I know that sounds cheesy, but it's just... true."

I love how Barney and Robin are together because of Ted and Tracy (Ted made them meet, Tracy basically convinced them to get married), while Ted and Tracy are together because of Barney and Robin (met at their wedding)

So I could go after a bunch of stuff that irks me in How I Met Your Mother but I wanted to post about some of the major things that bother me and see if I’m crazy or if others resonate the same.
First and most frustrating to me: STELLA. nearly everything about this irked me.
The thing with inviting Robin to the wedding…like, yeah, absolutely valid that you don’t want your future husband’s ex to be there. But why didn’t you say that when making the initial plans? Especially when you know she’s one of his 4 friends. Did you really expect him to not invite her??
The thing with inviting Tony…yes, absolutely I get not wanting him there. But Ted has no legal guardianship over Lucy. What exactly was Ted supposed to do? Take a little girl from her father against his will? That’s kidnapping. He has no legal right to take Lucy away from Tony.
Moving into an apartment in New York with Tony after making a massive point about how ridiculous it would be for her to do something like that with Ted. Like…girly…the man wouldn’t move to New Jersey for his OWN child? Ted was like “you know what, you’re right” but Tony was like “nah give up the house” and that was fine??
Going to Ted to ask him to get Tony back for her…my sister in Christ, what the fuck. What exactly did Tony expect Ted to say about the woman who LEFT HIM AT THE ALTER? Did he expect Ted to still be obsessed with her? And WHY does Stella even want Tony back if the man is willing to break up their family for a SECOND TIME bc a man who Stella hurt is not obsessed with her and thinks she’s selfish? Clearly he wanted the out. Why chase him? AND the fact that she literally only apologizes bc she needs help from him…ugh. That is messed up imo
The movies REALLY irk me. Ted is the man who YOU left at the alter and the man who GOT TONY BACK FOR YOU, but you let this man make him the villain for his movie? You not only divulge private shit that went on between you and Ted, but you also don’t stop him from putting it in a fricking movie?? I get Tony having his warped image of things, fine, but Stella really just let that all go down like that?? She just told Tony every single detail and everything she ever learned about Ted and he put it in a movie. WHY
Ted and Victoria, the second time they get together:
One of my biggest issues with this is that for some reason Ted is the one people blame for the wedding not happening??? As if 1) Victoria wasn’t a whole adult who chose to not tell Ted it was her wedding day before agreeing to meet up with him and bringing a car for them to run away together 2) Victoria’s husband-to-be ALSO ran away from the wedding. He literally also left!!
Even if Ted had brought Victoria back, there wouldn’t have been a wedding. Victoria’s dad blaming Ted and expecting him to pay is so crazy to me.
Another issue I have is with her being pissy that Ted wants her ex-fiancé out of his apartment. It’s not like the dude was normal and super chill. He had an aggressive pet that kept birthing babies and biting AND he didn’t respect boundaries. Like if the dude was just chilling and a normal roommate, I’d get it. But I don’t feel like it was unreasonable for Ted to not want him there — he agreed to let the ex stay with him and had no knowledge of the ferrets or whatever pets the guy had when he suggested it.
My last issue with Victoria is that when Ted is like “if you wanted a bigger commitment, you’d tell me, right?” and she’s like “yeah, I’d be direct.” and then continues to be passive aggressive. The man literally told her “I need you to be direct” and she wouldn’t. All of that on top of her thing about getting back together with him on her wedding day meant he shouldn’t be shocked she wants to get married…babygirl…you didn’t want to get married. You literally ran away at the first opportunity when Ted asked if you wanted to catch up
Ted and The Mother: My main issue with them is that SO quick after being ready to MOVE TO CHICAGO bc he loves Robin, he’s just all good to stay for her? Like suddenly the Robin thing is a non-issue??? Like…bruh??? That just doesn’t track for me at all.
I also take issue with him returning to Robin in the finale and the kids encouraging it. Like idk about yall but wouldn’t it be weird for your dad to admit to saying he was so in love with his best friend’s wife that he was moving but the next day fell for your mom? I feel like I’d be kinda like “okay so was mom a stand in for Robin??? is that what the point of this story was???”
Ted and Barney (Robin and the bro code): I’m pretty sure going after your best friend’s ex-wife is a violation of the bro code if going after your ex-girlfriend is. Like this is the one woman your best friend ever REALLY loved…
Plus…was it not a whole issue of Ted being unable to sleep with a woman because he thought Barney was with her first? But banging the woman Barney was married to and consistently slept with is fine?
There’s definitely more that irks me but these are the main things…anyway. for anyone who made it this far, thanks for reading my rant lol
