Unpopular opinion: I didn't like Robin and Barney, because Barney is a terrible person. Even worst than the rest of the crew and he didn't deserve a happy ending.

Just want to go back a while & end it when it really starts to turn to shit instead of putting my brave face every fng day from bed to bed.

I don't want to change anything about my future, I just want to show my parents pictures of their grandkids.

I've always preferred "Rules of Engagement" over HIMYM

I wann go back and try out Anne Francis "Throat Goat" Robbins talents, to see if the title is deserved.

More of a reality jump than time travel?

This show was always uncomfortable and gross to me. Barney is clearly a closeted gay man trying way to hard to pass as straight and it's just him endlessly using and hurting and debasing women the entire time.
FPAlpha
I will never understand how showrunners who have written 9 seasons with these characters completely miss their own show and believe the aired ending was a good idea.
It took a massive dump on everything they built up and have shown - Ted and Robin simply don't work long term, they took multiple seasons building Robin and Barney, changed Barney's character ( for the most part), lucked out so much with the chemistry brought by Cristin Milioti and threw it all away in 2 minutes at the end.

#1 Change the whole series so that it doesn't treat women as an assault and manipulation target.

For decades I wanted Ducky to be with Andie. Then I realized in order to be together she had to date and possibly marry the dipshit known as Blaine.

There are 2 people on my time-travel-kill-list - the monster who molested me as a child and the asshole who invented compound interest.
ilovetraveler
That request would definitely get approved.
enderite
The real villain in how I met your mother is the writer who knew damn well he needed a breeder and then shoved Ted right back at Robin just so he could get everything he wanted.
Robin. And kids.
cusbuster
Really? The power of time travel and you want to do that? Surely, drump would be high on the agenda or Reagan.

it is a piece of comedy my man

Can I have the timeline that doesn’t have journalists accepting an award for exposing their president for crimes against humanity and they shake his hand and everyone acts like it’s cool we’re goood.

I'd like to stop just 1 thing ...... my first inhale :/

I'd go back to when they were considering putting The Apprentice on lineup, and find a way to convince the people in charge that the show was gonna tank, and they'd be better off putting something else in that lineup.
Sensiblyinteresting
You could prevent the The 2007–2008 Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike as it directly lead to the apprentice being renewed and trump becoming president.
Shift137
Just bomb Epstein island.......
FlyByGRider
That show was awful. It was just trump making people cry on national TV while he acted like a king (jackass)
friendsofsandwiches
oddly, I HATED the regular apprentice, but I actually really LIKED Celebrity Apprentice. Some of Trumps calls to fire people and that panel bullshit at the end of the eps really grated on me though.

I think we all know we'd go back and make sure a lot of current prominent figures were never born

I cannot believe how he was treated, absolutely shameful. That poor noble, brilliant man, I am so sorry he suffered that.

I call Bill Gates. And not even for the Epstein stuff, that's just a bonus. I need to make sure Windows 11 never happens.
bridgebrain
Bust heads in the C-suite when they're making decisions about forcing windows 8 and the metro ecosystem. That'd also have the side effect of saving xbox from its dark timeline (hopefully)
Renza0
not just win11, but cortana(the windows one, not the game character), copilot, and that which should not be spoken - windows ME.
Gargwill
You spelled 'Vista' wrong.
Renza0
my favorite thing about vista, is that it was windows 6.x, and windows 7 came out I believe as windows 6.2. they straight up repackaged it with a different name because we all hate it so much
ahorseelbowdeepinme
I'd go back in time and save one of my favorite actors from dying in World War II. I know it seems a little silly but I just love the movie Kings Row and he was so good in it I just have to see more! I'm so thankful that technology has gotten to the point in the 70 years of peace where we can travel back in time easily. I know we're not allowed to change anything but no one's going to notice if I fuck with his eye sight test results a little. I can't wait to see the movies Ronald Regan will do!

All you need to do is have Grandpa Trump jailed for violating exile and never let out. The end.
InspectorA5
Leak the location and timeline of Jeffery Epstein's most attended private isanld party to cartels, Venezuela, Al Queda, ISIS and dozen other extremist groups in early 2006, coordinate seaborn attack with all these coming ashore as all the celebrity pedophiles are mid-molest. Include TV broadcast to world to show what America rich depravity is but before it can go live, George W. Bush authorities mass B-52 action to effectively level the island back into the sea. No survivors. Thoughts &prayers
thedewser
But would those only clear the space for a different group? What you would need to do is go back in time and change the system that put them there.

It would disrupt the plot that put their plan in place.

Nah, just a preventative genocide of future billionares, thanks.
umpbumpfizz
It sounds like this is just feeding potential innocents into the billionaire murdering machine, and oh boy that is not a sentence I ever thought I would write.
Either you change the system or we’re just murdering people who otherwise wouldn’t have become billionaires.
Gotta go back to the robber barons, deep 6 a few Rockefeller and JP Morgan types - VERY publicly - and keep doing that forever. Or just… make examples of a few politicians and ensure we get proper legislation preventing this.
hotaru251
i mean at that point just go back to block reagan from being born..his actions are what all led them to their power today.

i watched HIMYM on some streaming site years after it had ended. I'd heard people complain about the ending but I wanted a braindead sitcom to have on in the background while I did other things. I didn't know why the hell people complained about the ending......
and then I found out that the site I was watching it on had used the alternate ending. It definitely makes the show feel better.
keyblader1985
The thing is, the show had always been about subverting expectations, and life not going the way you think or hope it will. Practically every other episode there would be a twist in the way the narrative was heading, resulting in the characters making the most of what life gave them.
I don't disagree that the safe ending would have been more satisfying. But anyone who was actually expecting it hadn't been really paying attention to the type of show HIMYM was.
Darkwell
Subverting expectations is great, unless it's the expectation of having a satisfying end to the thing you spent literal years watching. Comedies especially don't get to mess with happy endings often, because it reframes the entire work.
If you watch the extras to Dodgeball, they talk about wanting to end the film with the Average Joes losing the match, and how test audiences flipped their shit and hated it. Sometimes you don't get to do the unexpected thing.
keyblader1985
Well I didn't say anything about whether it was good or bad; just that it was in line with the rest of the series. From the very first episode that ended with "and that's the story of how I met... your Aunt Robin."
DeadeicPrints
What was the alternate ending?
tzahtman
Secret Fallout tie in. It flashes to the future where he is talking to the kids and you see a mushroom cloud off in the distance and "I Don't Want to Set the World On Fire" is playing in the background.

Okay that was MUCH better. They should have gone with that one.
marthafarquar
The alternate ending (originally released on The Whole Story DVD box set) gives fans the happy conclusion they expected. It omits Tracy’s fatal illness and Ted returning to Robin. A flash-forward scene implies that Barney and Robin’s marriage successfully withstands the test of time. The show ends with a touching voiceover from Bob Saget recounting the group's journey and culminating in Ted meeting Tracy for the first time at the train station.
NorrinxRadd
Wait, really? Thats so much better, me wife and I watched that and the ending ruined the whole show
Juddyouclown
No it’s not. The only reason he’s telling the kids the story is because it’s robin. He’s making it make sense for his children that “aunt robin” who they’ve known their whole life is going to be their stepmom.
LiarLiarPantsUntier
“Hey Kids. I’m horny. Here’s why I wanna fuck your aunt Robin - in crazy detail.”
NachoIskerka
No no no. Ugh..... Look, here's the thing: If the story is supposed to be about Aunt Robin, then including an entire romance subplot about their Uncle Barney falling madly in-love with her and making overt romantic gestures and his withering self confidence at the last second before the altar makes NO sense, he would gloss over that entire story because it makes Ted look worse. Nothing about the last season makes sense if the intended story is Robin, ESPECIALLY not the ukulele on the porch scene
