My opinion on Barney's return. I expected something better than what we got.


I expected more from Barney's return. And this STD thing is totally what woke and not able writers would write about Barney. But it was kinda creepy. I think a more creative and good way to write Barney without offending the sjw is: Okay,lets not talk about his womanizing past anymore,but lets still him be his charming and charismatic self he is always been. Make him more like a "nerdy" (altough this is probably not the right term,but i hope i make my point) challenge-loving person,who gets in fun challenges to get money or to win something,and always wins in a absurd way,and a guy who gives "wise" (according to him,but sometimes really wise) advices to his friends in a funny way. I think this would be a better way to write a "modern" Barney than making him like a criminal with a device on his leg. Also,NPH was great but i had the impression that sometimes he didnt knew well how to play this "new" Barney. Maybe this is the last time we see Barney on HIMYF,but if a HIMYM reunion ever happens,lets hope they write him in a better way.

Also why only Sophie can meet the HIMYM characters? I think Barney would have probably worked better with Valentina,Ellen or Charlie.

As soon as I saw they were remaking this show I knew it would suck SJW balls. The original poked a bit of fun at Marshall's environmentalism, Barney was pre #metoo and world gone completely crazy, the whole cast had some charm and chemistry. These guys are just boring and of course they have to be boring because we wouldn't want to dare upset anyone.
