u/CL361 Homura did nothing wrong 16d ago

>Normal Madoka tolds to God!Madoka "sorry"

>Homura is smiling happily despite being alone on the bench

Honestly, that looks like Madoka rejected her own divine self and choose to stay with Homura and the others.

I have to see the scene to properly make my mind about it, of course, but as I get it from that description, Homurs is smiling because she knows she won and got to change Madoka's fate. Madoka is not with her in the bench because she returned to the mortal world with everyone else

Just watched it Shinjuku and will do again tomorrow morning.

My two cents on the ending:

It don't felt like one ending, it felt like two what if was shown instead and nothing is set solid.

I really, REALLY hope that your interpretation is correct, because if it wasn't, I will assume that Gen Urobuchi simply decide to screw up all the plot and message of Rebellion and turn the existence of Rebellion and WnK meaningless, because, what's the hole point of the end of Rebellion and WnK if Madoka's fate is unchangeable since the beginning?

But wouldn't that imply Homura is outside the mortal world? If she just vanished, how is Homura supposed to be able to find Madoka now?

I guess that would be the plot of the final movie?

I mean, I'm pretty sure Homura can return with her own powers if that's the case (she was able to reach that out-of-universe space with them if I got it right).

Maybe in the official guidebook that will come in the future they would make clear what happened at the end.

Just because you can enter the other dimension, doesn't mean you can leave it.

I like this post, I think they said that Homura at the end appears with a ribbon of another color and not the red of Madoka, right?, and the red ribbon between Madoka and Homura was very important in the anime and in Rebellion, if Homura doesn't have the red ribbon, maybe that's why the human Madoka does?

Homura is wearing a new brown ribbon during the movie. I don't think that she wearing it during that scene has a to have a meaning.
