No Fr So Many Of These Shows Steer Uncomfortably Close To Watch Cute Girls Die - Tumblr Posts
2 years ago
I feel like a lot of MadoMagi copycats miss that MadoMagi doesn't really hold any malice towards the magical girl genre at all and if anything embraces it fully, it just takes its concepts and interprets it in a darker sense. A lot of media that tries to replicate misses that and just go "Pfft magical girls are so stupid and childish, we should make a show where they all die, and are miserable and depressed, and it's dark and edgy for the sake of being edgy."

no fr so many of these shows steer uncomfortably close to “watch cute girls die
without any of the heart of madoka
making it physically painful to watch
because you don’t care about them. they’re living punching bags made to have bad things happen to them
madoka stings so much because you actually care about the girls
and how unfair it is for them to be thrown in a system where they kill and they kill until they physically can’t
and then they become the very things they were killing
like cosmic cattle for a system they can’t even comprehend
that was made to prey on them and their feelings
but nah fuck it remove all of the interesting parts and leaving in the gruesome deaths
why not
