>>2617400It's not like ancient cultures were philosophically dead. There's been detailed ideas about the workings of the universe since basically forever. Karmic laws isn't exactly a modern science.
The thing is if not for episode 12, and only episode 12 basically showing everything, and for reasons that would be too long to write here, I'd be disinclined to believe a single word that kyubey says. He acts basically exactly like a grey alien and they're well known for long bullshit speeches about universal harmony which truly only are meant to distract you from the butt probing for genetic material.
I can understand that there's a tale of not being able to overcome evil with mere human failings and needing to accept divine intervention and all that, kinda like faust I guess? But even on that level it doesn't work because the world madoka leaves behind is not fundamentally better than the one before. I gotta appreciate the exacting representation of the loving god of the new testament but I'm also fairly certain casting madoka in the role is at least one kind of blasphemy. And on every other level I'd much rather see madoka and homura overcome their hardships off their own power.
I didn't intend for it to get this wordy. I just wanted to try and start some light conversation about homu's family that's what we're here for right? to appreciate homura. but I just can't help myself in replying. I should probably write something up on /a/ instead but the further I find myself from homuhater the happier I think I'm going to be.
I'm deeply sorry. Sorry, sorry sorry.
