If there is one show that has made everyone laugh and cry, from teens to adults, it should be How I Met Your Mother. The iconic show ran for good nine seasons and it has shared many amazing moments with fans. When a show runs that deep, it strikes a chord with the audience and you start sharing the bonds with the characters.
It is a show that has showered people with legend-wait for it-dery characters and has made people wonder what if they have their own movies or a TV show. Who are these characters, let’s know it.
There are only a few characters in the history of TV that are as legendary as Barney Stinson, portrayed to perfection by Neil Patrick Harris. His larger-than-life persona and his legendary catchphrases make him a prime candidate for a spin-off movie. The film could delve into his mysterious past, his rise in the corporate world, and his countless romantic escapades. People who have seen the show know about his work-life and his dedication to achieve great things.
The girl who has won hearts of everyone, Robin Scherbatsky, played by Cobie Smulders, is a great character to have its own movie. A movie focusing on her life as Robin Sparkles could be a delightful mix of comedy and music. Who can forget the iconic ‘mall song’ and it could explore her journey from a pop sensation to a serious journalist, the challenges she faced in both worlds, and her adventures in New York. Are you willing to buy tickets to that one?
If there is an award for the best couple in a TV show, they deserve it. Marshall Eriksen and Lily Aldrin are the heart and soul of HIMYM and they are the ones who keep you binding to the show till the very end. From raising their kids to pursuing their career dreams, Marshall and Lily’s story would be filled with humour, love, and the everyday adventures of marriage and parenthood. Their deep bond and unique dynamic would make for a touching and relatable film.
Tracy McConnell, is the titular ‘Mother’ of the series and her story is both heartwarming and tragic. A movie centred on Tracy could explore her life before she met Ted, her journey through loss and finding love again. It could highlight her relationships, her aspirations, and the events leading up to her fateful meeting with Ted. This film would offer fans a deeper connection to Tracy and a chance to celebrate her character more fully.
Ranjit, appears throughout the series, often getting the gang out of sticky situations. A comedy film about Ranjit’s life in New York City would be hilarious and heartwarming. It could show his interactions with various passengers, his experiences as an immigrant, and his personal life. Ranjit’s positive outlook and witty personality would make for an entertaining and uplifting story.
Throughout HIMYM, the gang encounters their doppelgängers in hilarious scenarios. A movie exploring the lives of these look-alikes in an alternate New York would be a fun and imaginative ride.
The show has given us some iconic characters but not enough chance to look at each of their storylines. We could do it now.
