Noooooo because

I completely understand why someone would be more mad about the Tedlexis break-up, but even though I dislike and feel really sad about both break-ups, nothing can match the disaster that was the Swarkles divorce, in my opinion. Because Schitt's Creek didn't dedicate an entire season to Ted and Alexis's relationship. There were other relationships and characters that were worth watching for. But at the end HIMYM was really carried by 2 things: Barney and Robin's relationship, and the promise of Ted's happy ending with the mother. The last season is not as bad as the finale, but let's be honest- it's not that good. And it's all about Barney and Robin, and Ted letting go of his love for Robin, and Ted meeting the mother. That's literally the only thing that kept me going in that season. And those things that we waited for were delivered to us. The Swarkles wedding and Ted finally meeting the mom... But no, Craig and Carter had other plans. It felt like a cruel joke. Like being dragged through 9 seasons with the promise of those things. And when we finally got them, they immediately snatched them away. One episode to destroy 2 relationships, 4 character arcs and the entire heart of the show. It's idiotic that Craig and Carter thought this would be a satisfying ending. And I can see that they tried to plant seeds about it throughout the last few seasons, but it wasn't done well at all. The show had changed since they first planned that ending. The chemistry between Barney and Robin was off the charts. And their relationship wasn't a short arc like Rachel and Joey's thing on Friends. Robin and Barney's relationship was the focus of more than 6 seasons. It no longer made sense for Ted to get back together with Robin. And yeah, okay, I get it. The show starts with them meeting for a reason. He pined for her for 9 seasons. She's the reason none of his relationships worked blah blah blah. But it's Carter and Craig that planned and wrote those 6 seasons of Barney and Robin pining for each other, of Ted learning that his pining for Robin was what was standing between him and happiness, even if it took Robin marrying his best friend for him to realize that. They wrote that, not someone else! How could they have not known that keeping the original ending was a stupid idea? Let's compare it to the Superstore finale for example. Sure, Superstore took some missteps, but in the end they knew what mattered, what was important to the fans. So they brought Jonah and Amy back together. They developed Garrett and Dina's relationship into a romantic one. They put Amy in an executive position at some company and put Jonah in politics, which made sense for him. And they showed the Superstore family being together in the future, keeping in touch, and thriving. Meanwhile, HIMYM did the total opposite. Relationships destroyed. The gang, split up. Death of a major character. Character arcs down the drain. What was the matter with them? Did they fancy themselves too realistic and too hard-hitting of a show to give their characters a happy ending? Please! Perhaps they were just too lazy to envision an ending that made sense, or too stubborn to accept that their show wasn't as it was back then? Would it have been that bad to give the fans what they wanted? God. It makes me so so so mad.

wow i don't even have anything to add bc you put everything so perfectly

I have a lot of things to love in the last episode of Superstore, but Amy and Jonah breaking up ain’t it.

Amy’s goodbye to Dina and Glenn was so sweet. And I love soft Garrett, I wish they had explored more of his friendship with Amy.

Honestly I love that they brought back things from the start of the show, like a acknowledging Jonah was in love from day one, the stars and that damn quote “When we first met, you told me that all your days felt the same and you felt trapped, and I don’t want to be the reason you feel like that again.”

As I have already mentioned on probably every other social media: I get it.

I know that they had to break up bc America is leaving, I get the storyline, I understand that Amy could be scared and wouldn't want to marry right away. I don’t think long distance relationship would work, for Amy and Jonah as a couple or for the show. They wouldn’t be able to show Amy and it would be weird to keep reminding us that they are still talking but never show her side of the conversation.

Still, they were best friends for years, she had more fun with him than with anybody else, she loved spending time with him. Jonah was probably the first person to ever take care of her or at least to remember her that "hey you're human and you deserve this, and you don't have to hold the world on your shoulders". And she does loves him. She shouldn’t throw that away.

And Jonah deserved better.

Is not like they could break up and hug it out, be happy about it, but it’s heartbreaking that not only they are breaking but that is not on good terms. That Jonah is mad and Amy is sort of scared or even guilt.

I don’t know what I wanted but I hate this.

Edit: and he was raising Parker now he won't even see the kid. My god I didn't even though about that. It just keeps getting worse
