>>2617240I'm not one to simply believe every word a character says just because they say it. Especially not when they're supposed to be a trickster like kyubey. He even outright contradicts himself saying that sayaka can't be wished back to normal and then immediately after goes on to say madoka could be a god. So which is it? Most reasonably interpreted to be neither, because he's lying the whole time and it should be obvious from episode 1.
Even if we take everything he says at face value, it doesn't make any sense. How can only less than a hundred threads of fate be enough to make someone a god? And that's if we decide to listen to offhand comments from interviews. The visuals show only 14 threads. Granted being 14 or 100 times more powerful than normal would be awesome but I don't see the connection to godlike powers there. No matter which way you look at it it was an asspull. And not even a good one, the world is still full a despair and the original objective of avoiding the miserable life of a magical girl from the iteration 3 promise is nowhere near being fulfilled at all. Even if we accept that somehow there's enough power there to break the entire universe, she couldn't even make a proper utopia?
As soon as they did that the story stopped mattering. I don't really want to fight about this but I hope you can see why I don't see how any ending that occurs in the context of the tv ending could be a good one.
