How I Met Your Mother's finale stirred controversy among its viewers, but the very nature of the show proved that it was, unfortunately, inevitable.
The divisiveness of How I Met Your Mother’s series finale was inevitable from early on. In 2014, the nine-season run of How I Met Your Mother concluded, much to the disappointment of most viewers. HIMYM's ending was criticized for undoing the main characters’ arcs by mitigating the eagerly-awaited first meeting of hopeless romantic Ted Mosby and the Mother, Tracy McConell, and instead reuniting him with on-off love interest Robin Scherbatsky.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY While the controversial How I Met Your Mother ending was perhaps a disservice to Ted’s emotional journey, it was also a reaffirmation that the show was truly about him and Robin all along. In fact, while Tracy was shown grieving the death of Max, she mentioned "I believe that each of us only gets one, and I got mine already.
Ultimately, HIMYM failed to adapt to how its characters evolved and how its audience responded to storylines. This was the opposite to most sitcoms, which use reviews and reactions to guide future storylines. Sadly, even before Tracy was introduced in the series, her fate as the Mother in HIMYM was already sealed, with no regard for how the character would be received by the audience.
Why How I Met Your Mother Couldn't Avoid Filming Its Ending In S2 How I Met Your Mother could not avoid filming its ending scenes early, since the Mosby kids' actors were starting to grow up and age out of their roles. The alternative would be having the characters be older by the end of the show. That would make zero sense, however, since it would imply that Ted had been telling them the story over many years.
Even if HIMYM decided to show 2030 Ted telling the story over a longer period of time in order to justify his aged-up children, it would have then required Ted himself to be played by an older actor. Losing Josh Radnor then drains the emotion from those final scenes. It was a no-win scenario, forcing How I Met Your Mother to be faithful to its finale plan, no matter how much controversy it caused.
