I don't understand the ending to Rebellion, can somebody explain it to me?
>>134738432
Which part? The entire ending with her remaking the universe or just the little bit after the credits? I'm not entirely sure what that last part means but I do have some ideas.
>>134739084
The latter. At first I thought she committed suicide, but she's way too powerful to die from something stupid like falling off a cliff.
>>134738432
Homura isnot loved by Madoka, she is pure evil and designed her fake world to control and torment others. She murdered the law of cycles and hates all. She ruined everything and will die in the sequel, nobody will miss her.

I don't know how much we can know for sure about this scene. There is something missing in this world or it is unstable somehow; I think the half-moon and split terrain symbolizes this.
Homura seems content enough, even though she is alone. She smiles and dances around. One interpretation I have heard is that this moment symbolizes Homura's fall from grace, but they might just be taking it too literally.
This is actually a good topic of discussion. I would like to see what others think. This is definitely one of the harder to interpret scenes in the series.

I think there might be something to that. I didn't notice it until now but that is the same chair in both scenes, right? Instead of sitting with Madoka she is sitting alone, with the place Madoka should be sitting completely gone from existence.

Don't you ever get bored with being a Homuhater? It seems like you can only do it for so long before it gets boring.

Was just looking for this.
It all circles around Homura's original wish; which was to "save madoka."
At the end of the series (before rebellion), Madoka becomes a being that saves all megucas in history; effectively sacrificing herself for the wellbeing of everyone else. Thus, Homura wasn't able to protect her. Her wish wasn't granted yet.
So Homura becomes hitler and fucks everything they worked for up, pulls madoka down, remakes the universe (again) and makes everyone forget all about it.
I guess.
The part I don't understand is it seems to imply that madoka still has her madokami status; she just doesn't realize it, and the "law of cycles" is still in effect somehow?
>>134740328
This gets into dumb wish semantics, but I think that's because Homura's actual wish was to be "stronger" than Madoka so as to protect her. So because of the power of relative adjectives, the universe elevates her above Madoka, but Madoka is still a god.
Which is really stupid, but honestly it's not that important as the idea (and visuals) of Homura turning her witch world inside out onto reality.
Anyone else find that epilogue scene really comfy? The music, the visuals, the dreamlike lamposts, the gentle breeze ...
Homura fucked up
>>134741353
Not really, she was always evil and only ever wanted to own and torment Madoka all to herself, so she technically succeeded despite ruining everything and never having been loved.

The visuals in the ending are really beautiful. Good morning, "Countory" of Sweets.

It wasn't an end, it was a sequel hook. That is why you did not understand it. Watch it again with this in mind and you will realize that it was pretty straightforward after all.
>>134744420
There's not going to be a sequel. Movies come in trilogies, and it said "The End."
>>134740328
>>134740509
I believe it's more likely that Homura hijacked the law of cycles. The scene where Madoka goes glowy eye'd was pointing out it's a delicate illusion to convince a goddess she's human when you're using her own power to do it.

there's rumours of a second season, however unlikely it might be. It has the popularity and now the room for it
