Phoebe should have ended up with David instead of Mike, yeah I said it!!!
Look, I know on paper it seems truly insane to say anyone could do better than a sweet, funny, piano-playing Paul Rudd, but every time I watch Friends (which is often) I'm always struck by how damn good Lisa Kudrow's chemistry is with Hank Azaria.
David worshipped the ground that Phoebe walked on and their time together was electric and they really did seem like each other's lobsters, didn't they? Just kind of the perfect encapsulation of opposites attract. Don't get me wrong, Mike is one hell of a runner-up and David certainly missed his window by following his career over love, but I always feel like it would have been so romantic if Phoebe *finally* just got to be with her adorable scientist man.
Am I the only one thing thinks that David and Phoebe were really the ones who deserved a fairytale ending? Or is everyone Team Mike?
To me, this seemed so obvious while watching the show that I was shocked that Mike ended up being her lobster. I actually hate when long-running shows pretend the past never happened — the fact we never heard about David or where he went was such a disappointment.
I think the main problem was… once you get Paul Rudd, you can’t easily let go.
100 PERCENT. I was always angry that Friends didn't bring back Hank Azaria in the final seasons — they were such a perfect match for one another. Bringing in Paul Rudd felt like a way to appease the fans more than it felt like an actual legitimate boyfriend for Phoebe.
David was the yin to Phoebe's yang. They actually improved one another. And, you're right, the chemistry was A+. Even Hank wanted them to end up together — he told press he was heartbroken David wasn't with Phoebe in the end.
I totally agree that Mike wasn’t the one she should’ve ended up with. David didnt even want to go to minsk because he liked her so much. This is controversial butttttt….I wanted her with Joey *runs away*
