can't stop thinking about the upcoming Madoka movie and how the trailer goes out of its way to imply a very specific tragic ending. On one hand I'm scared shitless, but on another there's something that just makes me doubt it'll simply go where the symbolism says it will. Not just because Madoka as a whole - and not just the Incubators - is deceptive at its core, but also because every other ending was a sudden flip of the situation at the center of the plot. In the original it's the miraculous rewrite of the universe saving Homura from despair, which was then recontextualized as a temporary and minor victory at best, given that Madoka has to sacrifice her mental health for the sake of everyone else's, forever, and the Incubators can always figure out what's going on and how to revert to the most profitable universe.

This meant that Homura had to do something, and once she realized that they'll keep trying to undo the changes even if she kills every single one of them in the barrier, she came up with a new plan and executed the first step of it by suddenly rewriting the universe again, so if this is anything to go by, as well as the marketing claiming that the movie is a "new beginning" rather than the final battle or something, the Incubators will manipulate everyone into fighting against each other and almost create a tragedy using Homura or Madoka's hands. Which will then be upturned again by another miraculous rewrite, yet again not really solving the issue, but not screwing things in the worst way forever either.

The reason why this makes more sense to me is likely because of the role the Incubators play as the general allegory of systemic issues that is supposed to be applied everywhere it fits, including our economic overlord - capitalism. So since the system they created is at the center of everything that happens in the story, it only makes sense that actually ending it would mean addressing that key issue in one way or another, which Kaiten isn't trying to do, as far as I can tell anyway.

Whether I'm right and how long it might take for the girls to unite and find the solution is still a mystery, but either way it certainly seems much more sensible than simply drowning the audience in a more extreme repeat of how Rebellion felt (rather than what it thematically was).

Ultimately, the crux of the issue lies in the difference between a sequence of events and a story, with the latter being everything that the structure, content and presentation of the former says about the topic at hand. It's about the conversation, not just the plot threads. This means, that since the original presented a problem of exploitation and oppression, the story won't truly be over until the origin, moral implications and solution to the aforementioned is found by the characters.

In Madoka, all of this centers around Kyuubey's powers, so regardless of the events themselves, the thematic conversation won't be complete without presenting some means of taking away the Incubators' ability to do their evil deeds, irreversibly and forever. This is, of course, my understanding, but it's not a given that I'm wrong.

So to wrap up, things don't look particularly well, but I guess there's no reason to give up all hope yet

Listen, the world needed to give Sayaka Miki a break and some time She needed time to get out of her self-sacrificial "I'll fix it from the inside" phase.

She was fourteen in 2011, she didn't know what ACAB meant yet.

She just needed more time.

honestly that ending wish is still the thing that like gets me about madoka because like. it feels like a show that cared less about its characters or its messaging would've had madoka's sacrifice fully commit to the jesus thing and be about her taking on their mistakes and undoing all of the girls contracts, because it was stupid and naive of them to believe in it in the first place and this justifies taking away their agency.

but instead, the show goes out of its way to validate that it was their decision to make, and even if they might've come to regret them, their wishes were important enough to them for them to agree to a tough, lifelong burden, and that should be respected - it's not that they should be blamed for being tricked into an unfair deal, but that the deal should've been kept in the first place.

i don't know, there's just something that's really stuck with me about that, both in the ways you can read it as metaphor and the way it brings the whole thing back around to its own version of the "if something is worth it, you should fight for it even when its hard" narrative you'd find in more classical magical girl shows.

Hi fellow Madoka and Magireco fans, I want to created database of all OC puella magi and witches, so I would love you to fill this sheet with your OCs

(and please don't add any canon characters/witches, this sheet is OC only)

The way some people’s view of Homura flipped from that one line in Rebellion is on one hand an obvious example of a massive misunderstanding possible only for someone seriously lacking in media literacy, but there’s also a lot of  of ableism involved in it too. It just doesn’t make sense to hate her when you think about how she kept trying to save not just Madoka, but also Sayaka and Mami too, despite hundreds of near identical failures to get through to them. Only some who thinks of mental illness as something that justifies and explains everything “evil” would ever do such a 180 just because of  a single scene of Homura being desperate after a severe mental breakdown. And there’s also equally major bias towards Madoka as well, but either way Homura is a good girl that is right to continue her fight against Kyuubey and I won’t stand for anything else

Thinking about the parallels between Homura and Mami in episode 4 and simply being wrecked. “She fought alone to protect everyone, but no one even realises it...” Said about Mami but that applies to Homura so well I wanna HIT something so bad
