Adult Sheldon Could Have Made Missy’s Young Sheldon Ending Fate Better
Revord is referring to Missy being the least successful Cooper sibling in terms of what was revealed in The Big Bang Theory. While Georgie became a rich entrepreneur and Sheldon won the Nobel Prize in Physics, their sister was left unfulfilled both in her personal and professional life. During her last appearance in the nerd-centric sitcom for Sheldon and Amy’s wedding, Missy was pregnant with her second child and was in the middle of separation from her first husband. Subsequently, adult Sheldon’s Young Sheldon narration offered a happy update about her family life, but it was never expounded on.
However, it could have fixed Missy’s desolate future by including a reference to how her life turned out since the end of The Big Bang Theory with very little screentime.
One of the biggest issues of the relatively well-loved Young Sheldon finale was that its final half felt too rushed. After George’s death and subsequent funeral, the dramedy didn’t have enough time to deal with all the lingering storylines. However, it could have fixed Missy’s desolate future by including a reference to how her life turned out since the end of The Big Bang Theory with very little screentime. Adult Sheldon in the Young Sheldon ending flashforward could have easily said something about her sister thriving in her adulthood despite a difficult childhood and challenging years after.
