Hot take: the ending wasnt as bad as people make it out to be.
i might get grilled for this, but im gonna write this anyway haha.
I dont get the hate on the ending, it made sense to me, however i do wish they spent more time depicting ted and tracys relationship, instead of spending the whole last season on barney and robins wedding.
anyways to my point.
Ted and Robin (earlier seasons before she became a weird plot tool) were a great couple as people, their one issue was the kids and career disagreement. ive already expressed my distain for barney and robin on here before, but to sum it up. Barney and robin made no sense as a couple, they were both not meant to be in relationships and were solely created so that they wouldnt have a single attractive woman in the main cast, resulting in one of the most toxicly built relationships ive ever seen on tv.
it makes sense to me that ted and robin would end up together once she had achieved her dream career and he had gotten his family. I hated that they killed tracy off considering how much i loved the little we got of her character, but it was obviously what the show was building to.
