Madoka questions post

[karenai]

Now that I've harassed some of my friends into watching this series after in turn being harassed by Sea and Q (so many Madoka converters out there), cut for things I'm curious about in this series. SPOILERS FOR 1-10. These are just my rambling thoughts - it's so much fun to SPECULATE, damn.

Oh yeah Homura is gonna die. QB isn't. I'm not sure I want him to--even though legions of people desire a horrible death for him. There have to be others like him on his home planet and there is no end to his sort of evil. It seems to me that there is some other karmic justice for him--and his evil is so dully pink-eyed. There is never ridding the universe of evil in any magical girl show, even if villains get their due and I'm not sure ...

Eh, I want to find out what Madoka contracted for.

My fave is Mami of course. Sayaka is well-written although her violin boy annoyed me with his cloying artist ways *has fallen for annoying artists one too many times* XD

Yes, write an essay on magical girls. I still want to write A BOOK OF PRINCESS TUTU POEMS. I've never been so serious. It's a backburner project. Maybe when the kids are grown.

Episode 10 rocked my world. Neha showed me a fandom secret about the show yesterday and there's already a bunch of "we're too cool for school" backlash against it--people wondering the fuck is the big deal about it and railing against the animation. I figure some of these people don't like magical girl stuff in the first place but whatever. I was sold the first episode and Syn told me I'd be hooked by 3. After that it was just ohhhhhh, this is going to be darker, goody.

QB isn't going to die but I wish he would. I know that he's a kind of bland evil in the end, but... I HATE HIM SO. Urgh he's gross. But you're right that there's no ridding the universe of evil. It's funny, you know the climax of Sailor Moon is her trying to destroy the source of all evil only to find out that that is where all the stars and planets are born, too, so she can't. QB does kind of remind me of that -___-

Mami is great, in the end. I like her a lot and when she shot Kyoko, I was pretty impressed with the depth of her character. I just pathologically love girls like Homura - nothing gets me like female characters like her who just.keep.going. They're like a combination of the Terminator and the Energizer bunny -- I can't get enough of that broken heart combined with the crazy drive.

Haha maybe I will write the one on magical girls. It would be short -- just a quick thing about mirrors in the two series. Hmmm.

Oh and those people can fuck off. Pissy because people love something they don't, blah blah blah.
