How I met your mother's ending is better than what people think
In today's podcast, I understand that people didn't like the ending to HIMYM. But I think this is a case of being too subtle with their foreshadowing to the events that will come.
I have seen the show at least a dozen times, but it's been a few years since I last watched it. The show used a lot of subtle foreshadowing to get us ready for the mother's death. Here is a pretty good video about the foreshadowing: https://youtu.be/M7EDrX8nm5U?si=l-sm71Ni6NxI\_xwj
Although there was a better video with more examples that I can't seem to find. Other examples include: during Marshall's tailgating at his father's grave, there is a tombstone in the background that says mother. The book that the 10/10 match that ted goes and sees is about someone losing a partner to death. One last one that I remember is the song that Tracy plays on the balcony that Ted overhears is also about grieving someone's death.
