My boyfriend, right after watching this scene: she’ll be back…right?

Lil redraw of this iconic scene from Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Okay, okay, it's time for that scene

Look, I know ruminating too much on the fact that Kyubey's explanation of entropy and the second law of thermodynamics is wrong is silly in a story about magical superheroes fighting witches

But...

I think a point a lot of people who go down that rabbit hole miss is that Kyubey's explanation doesn't need to be correct to serve Kyubey's goals

Kyubey isn't expositing to the audience about why the Incubators do what they do

Kyubey is trying to justify their actions to Madoka using detached pseudoscientific rhetoric because Kyubey knows that if you make cruelty sound "rational" enough a lot of people fall for it

It's a trick that politicians, abusers, cult leaders, and all sorts of other bad actors who benefit from hierarchies of power employ all the time

If Kyubey just denies their cruelty outright then Madoka is fairly likely to see that they're lying

But by saying "okay, yeah, I'm being cruel, but the alternative is worse" the floodgates get opened for whatever bullshit Kyubey spouts next to slip through unchallenged

It's this line here which says the most:

There's no actual evidence that the Incubators can't feel emotion, and there's plenty of times in the story where Kyubey acts in a manner which can be reasonably considered emotional

Kyubey is just making stuff up as is convenient

A lot of people seem to believe that Kyubey only ever lies by omission, but that's patently untrue

The correct assumption to make is that Kyubey is unreliable and only tells the truth as much as is necessary for their own ends

Because ultimately Kyubey is a bullshiter

Kyubey doesn't care all that much about the truth, Kyubey only cares if others learning the truth will aid or hinder their own objectives

So when Kyubey gives an incorrect explanation of thermodynamics, that isn't a plot hole to be scoffed at

It's the string of information that Kyubey believes is most likely to result in a desired outcome (namely, Madoka signing a contract)

Sure, we can reasonably derive from this scene and others in the series as a whole that the Incubators are gathering some sort of energy from magical girls transforming into witches

But believing that they're putting that towards preventing the heat death of the universe, trillions of years in the future, is a bit like believing that an oil company is using all the oil it extracts to teraform Mars

Technically they could be

But what reason do you have to believe that?

Honestly I'd say that the fact that so many audience members apparently fall for most of what Kyubey says, even knowing that Kyubey is ultimately the antagonist, is a testament to the quality of the writing

what really got to me in the trailer is how Homura looked so sinister, how genuinely happy she was to see Madoka happy without her being involved, and how. tired she was at the end.

the first real shot we get of her looking particularly triumphant, asking her opponent if they can shoulder what she now shoulders, immediately followed by a slideshow of Homura's trauma throughout the show and someone telling her (likely Sayaka as she refers to Madoka as "my best friend," or it could be Madoka herself addressing Homura, as she also calls Homura "her very best friend.") to release her as words float on the screen also making it clear how highly Homura thinks of Madoka.

"This world is for Madoka."

but she only looks. completely, genuinely happy the whole time in a way that isn't a look of triumph watching Madoka have fun. watching her genuinely enjoy herself in that gilded cage she created.

and by the end she looks so. tired. like she looks exhausted.

Homura is an evil demon. that's what she became when she committed an unforgivable sin: ripping off the wings of a goddess and dragging them down to earth.

and she did it all for one person and her happiness, even if its unwanted. she's happy when Madoka is happy in her cage, and wants to protect that cage at all costs: even her own happiness. she's clearly not happy with her own situation. being evil sucks. not being close to Madoka sucks. and the only way to ensure what she feels is Madoka's happiness is to be her enemy. it's so tragic, everything she does and ever will do is for Madoka's sake, no matter how twisted and warped it is. the only thing a child who was never allowed to grow up in 10+ years can think of.

the world is for Madoka. that's the crux of everything the devil called Homura Akemi does. it's for Madoka. it's absolutely not for her.

and it makes me. constantly think of that thing that Madoka's seiyuu once said in a Q&A:

no matter what happens, Homura is Homura, and Madoka will adore her, even if they're now enemies. this is the last thing in the world Madoka would want for her. Madoka would want to save Homura no matter the cost.

i think of Madoka fully realized what was happening, her greatest wish would be for Homura to just have the good night's sleep she clearly desperately needs.

"Falling in love with someone is wonderful, so don't call yourself the devil. I love you."

I love the stark contrast between these two shots of Homura and Madoka. Like look at the colors schemes and background details!

Rays of light are shining down on Madoka, symbolizing her positivity and energy. She’s surrounded by pink roses and daisies, corresponding with her joy, innocence, and purity. The background of the shot is very vibrant and full of life, like Madoka here.

Meanwhile we have Homura, who’s intentionally shading herself from the light with her umbrella, causing shadows to be cast across her face. This represents her keeping everyone in the dark about her plans, especially Madoka. The background of the shot is more monochromatic, corresponding with Homura’s uncertainty and secrecy.

Part of what makes Kyouko so iconic is that she mummified a corpse in a hotel room
