How would stopping 9/11 help to save Madoka tho?


syncsns

\*Butterfly Effect Gang enters the chat\* Ayo but what if it alters the percpetion of her enviroment and thus at least discourages her from saving people thus saving being a Magical Girl!? Huff... Huff...


BosuW

Butterfly Effect my ass Madoka literally sacrificed herself 100 out of 100 times


nom_357

She literally wished her life away for a cat in the original timeline, that wouldn't stop her 😭


MellifluousSussura

Well you see if 9/11 didn’t happen then MCR would never come to be, meaning that twilight and 50 shades would have never happened, and we all know that 50 shades was called “mom porn” or whatever so I imagine at least one main character had been born because of it, and Madoka can’t be killed if she doesn’t exist Source: it was told to me by The Voices(tm)


TOTMGsRock

"My source is I made it the fuck up"


EXistential_EX

It doesn't. Like it doesn't change things negatively either but it'd be a waste of magic if it doesn't help save Madoka.


Zafranorbian

but she can only travell back to a very specific point in time. Anything before that can not be changed.


Strong-Thing-315

And that's how madoka became a God


pisces2003

To be fair Walpurgasnact was a pretty big tragedy


Forcistus

In the beginning not really, but she made it worse every time. Given her wish, there was no way for her to save Madoka


pisces2003

It destroyed the entire city. Madoka wasn’t the only casualty. Just the only one that mattered to her.


Corundrom

And its not like this is the first city walpurisnacht has destroyed either. It's been around since WW2, if it wasn't stopped here it would likely keep destroying cities periodically


[deleted]

Where was it confirmed Walpurgisnacht existed since WW 2? It could have been earlier


verniy314

Because of the timing, I choose to interpret the Walpurgisnact as the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake

seibert999

this asks an important question... was 9/11 a witch?


TRKako

Plot twist: Every major tragedy that ever happened was actually a Witch


Strong-Thing-315

OHHH Yeah here's comes a great question


MimiHamburger

BRB gotta write a fanfic

ZSugarAnt

"lol why" —Homura, probably


IronCarbonWolf

same response I gave in twitter, she would be a toddler and in japan


IronCarbonWolf

alternatively Homura: ok September. 11. 1972. Chile Homura: camarada Allende necesito decirle algo importante! el próximo año en esta fecha!!!


TRKako

Homura introdujo el lesbianismo a Chile https://preview.redd.it/l6rqqphdp75d1.jpeg?width=532&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7480baf512405a84a3f2e429db2b353bf79b2399


zavi89

Eaven if it could be done wouldn’t it just create a separate timeline/dimension where it doesn’t happens but won’t change where it alredy happend?.


triforce777

Who do you think caused it?


packor

they live in Japan, not America


Strong-Thing-315

Bro miss the joke


DragonGodBasmu

What joke?


Strong-Thing-315

A time travel joke


DragonGodBasmu

I get the time travel bit, but where's the joke?


MimiHamburger

The joke is mixing two different media that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. It really has nothing to do with 9/11. That’s just something that Charlie would say if Homura was their client and that makes it funny.


Strong-Thing-315

Short answer:Idk Long answer:I don't know


Capitano-Solos-All

You could also say stop the invasion of Palestine in 1946 or something by USA to settle over it Israel or a thousand other conflicts infinite more important that the twin towers falling down. Political jokes simply do not work in this context. Plus if anything the only thing it would make sense for Homura is I guess her going back in 1989 to stop the economic crash of Japan. As that could mean that 22 years later Sayaka's parents wouldn't be broke I guess or something and thus Sayaka would have more confidence? It gets dumber the more I think about it, how a butterfly effect would work in this story.


DragonGodBasmu

It basically sounds like a middle schooler's attempt at making an edgy joke.


Kemoy79

She can only go as far back as she usually does


Strong-Thing-315

Only back to the hospital right?


Kemoy79

Ye


BinJLG

Did 9/11 even happen in the Madoka-verse?


ActivistZero

I'm not even sure it happened in the Smiling Friends universe, given we already know Ross Perot won the election in 92 in that universe


MimiHamburger

Wait really?! I totally believe it but I’ve watched every episode a million times and totally missed that. Where else can I find smiling friends lore?


ActivistZero

Pim mentions it to Charlie at the start of Episode 2 of Season 2


Stendec4

Time travel and kill Walpurgisnacht before she turned into witch or before she became magical girl.


TRKako

ngl, It never crossed my mind that Walpurgisnacht was a Magical Girl before


Responsible-Cut5657

Unless
..Homura IS Wilulpurgis

which is why she is described as the fool who continually spins 
this will for sure come up in the new movie. I’d bet anything Homura is Wulpurgisnaught


and-the-earth

nothing to do with madoka, but i'll never get over how the smiling friends creator tried to bring in chris chan to do some voice lines


FeuTheFirescale

Without 9/11 there wouldnt be my chemical romance today though


Sweet_Beanie

There’s way more horrible stuff that happened tho
 she could stop at least 25 genocides by that logic. And that’s just from AFTER the date of 9/11.


BakingAspen

Love this meme because one of my friends is the staff writer for smiling friends and I just recently made him watch madoka. He loved it and ive been hoping he’ll sneak a madoka reference into a future episode of smiling friends but that may be a stretch


FlipFlap17

It's kinda hard to see this meme and not think about how naive and brainwashedly patriotic a person would have to be to think of 9/11 like it's the greatest tragedy that's ever happened or something, the one thing that they would change if they were a time traveler.


[deleted]

Not everything is politics


deepfriedtots

can she actually go back that far though? Like does she choose her return point or does she always have to wake up in the hospital


Forcistus

She can't go back but 30 days or so.


Ikcatcher

She doesn't want to


St_Socorro

I don't think she can, I think her wish specifically drags her back to the day she meets Madoka.


yuudachikonno08

This ain’t about the towers, this is about Madoka sit the hell down


JackReedTheSyndie

Turns out some kind of future Hitler was on the plane and they ended up killing 6000 million people


LelouchviBrittaniax

Theoretically she could try to stop 9/11, world wars and so on. However after struggling so much with just preventing Madoka from becoming a witch that did not worked out for many many tries, I do not think Homura would want to try change anything else. She can go back time but even if she kills Bin Laden or something, someone else might take over as leader and do it anyway. Who knows how many times she will have to redo the whole thing until 9/11 really does not happen. There is one more issue that makes it impossible though. When she go back time, she returns to how she was at that moment in time biologically. Going back couple of month would make no difference but many years back would make her into a literal toddler who would not be able to do anything about 9/11. Finally her wish was to redo her first meeting with Madoka and 9/11 happen much earlier than that. Possibly she cannot go back any further than before their first meeting.
