Come to think of it, are there any Witches, Wraiths, Incubators, and/or Magical Girls in Homura’s world? If not, maybe they really are better off (though I imagine something’s going to go horribly wrong or else we wouldn’t have a plot for the next movie).
There aren't and Homura has made Kyubey her prison bitch in exchange for cutting off Madoka's independence. A fair trade.

That’s what I thought, kind of makes me wonder what the plot of the fourth movie is going to be then.

Though why is Sayaka allowed to have her old memories but nobody else can?

The title is something like 'Walpurgis Turns the Tide', so we could see who the Walpurgis Night girl is this time (like with the ep 3 witch showing up in Rebellion).

I did like Rebellions as an ending but I'm curious to see if Madoka can find another interesting sequel angle.

Walpurgisnacht is made from many witches so that wouldn’t happen.

Madoka's psychopomp solution wasn't a terribly good one anyway since Kyubey and co. are like the American military and oil when it comes to magical girls and their free energy from their suffering. They can't resist themselves.

Really, we don't have enough details about how the post-Rebellion world works to figure out if Homura did anything wrong (beyond messing with people's memories, which to be fair, is pretty hosed up).

Unironically this.

I was initially pretty bummed by the ending of Rebellion since it overturned the "Happy Ending" of the original series. But given the events of the movie up to that point, Homura actually made the world a better place and her solution is far more stable than Madoka's.

True, which is why I’m curious to see how things inevitably go horribly wrong in the next movie.

Yeah, she’s basically keeping Madoka as a slave and making sure her old memories stay repressed but who’s to say the world wouldn’t suddenly get worse if she ever regained her true power.

Otherwise there are no Witches, the girls can live normal lives again and Kyubey is left unable to interfere (so far at least), sounds like a pretty good deal to me overall.

In other words, Madoka only dealt with one aspect of the problem (making it so magical girls can no longer become witches) whereas Homura appears to have done away with the cycle altogether.

So something like "Walpurgis Revolution"

Oh is there a canon source anywhere on that? I'd always kind of intuited as much just from the name and how strong it was but I don't remember any seeing anything official.

I’m pretty sure Homura mentions it during one of her briefings to the others in one of the loops.

As for Homura’s “solution,” no doubt that it is breaking all sorts of universal laws but the fundamental difference between her solution and Madoka’s is that Madoka’s changed the laws of the universe while Homura’s was merely creating a near-universe sized bounded field where she can manipulate the rules within it.

No loving way that is sustainable and anyone who thinks that is “more stable” than Madoka’s solution is kidding themselves.

I want Walpurgis to be made of many Magical Girls, but they're all versions of Homura trapped in a cycle of creation and destruction after they surpass their own timeloops. Alternately I would accept the Kyuubei-race being behind it

In other news, the Sailor Moon Eternal movies are finally coming to Netflix on June 3

This is one of the few arcs (Dream/SuperS to be specific) I actually liked better in the manga than in the 90’s anime so I’m actually sort of looking forward to these.
