Thing is, it's not really that bad an ending for everyone apart from Homura, if it weren't for that all it would take to undo everything is Madoka thinking for a couple of seconds.

I don't know that I can really call what Homura did selfish love, I mean it was, but in the end she sacrificed everything she cared about, including Madoka's friendship, just to have her back in the world because she thought that's what Madoka really wanted.

I loved the 'this emotion is mine alone' line, the intensity of a feeling impossible to put in to words.

thats cool also because the mixed-media stuff makes the whole world feel like it has yknow images or sensations that are similarly indescribable or of another world

Whenever we pray for someone's happiness, someone else must be cursed in exchange.

Madoka trilogy put the cork on Kizu. Now we're paying the price.

It's kinda both selfish and selfless. Yeah it's 100% all about Madoka, but only Homura's somewhat cherrypicked aspects of Madoka.

Homura owns in this, but people tend to forget that she is bugfuck insane. So don't expect well thought out decisions from her.

Homura's actions towards the end as well as her true motivations are awesome, make sense and elevate an already incredible movie to a worthy sequel to the series

I mean, as much as there is to love, without that twist it doesn't feel like a story that really needs to be told. Everything returns to status quo (except Homura gets mercy-killed), it's revealed Kyubi knows about Madoka, the end. It already felt a little cheesy how ALL YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTERS ARE HERE, EVEN THE DEAD/ASCENDED ONES, but nevermind that. I hope if there's ever a new series/movie (and there better be, we still know fuckall about wraiths and they went to all that effort to make a continuation even make sense), they don't somehow feel obliged to keep everyone around forever. I very much enjoyed how downright mean and relentless the series could get towards its characters (one of the things I also really enjoyed about Fate/Zero), so I hope they keep that up!

...if there's ever a new series :qq:
