I Could Go On A Deranged Rant About Every Possible Parallel Between Mami And Gertrud But I Should Not - Tumblr Posts
1 year ago
Something I find really neat and subtle amoung Madoka Magica's (many) foreshadowing and narrative contrast-y moments is Mami's fight against Gertrud.
Gertrud has a strong flower and butterfly motif, and Mami's soul gem is shaped like a flower (and maybe a stretch but in one of Mami's transformations she does an action that resembles a butterfly emerging from its chrysalis).
I think there's some parallels between the two that make Gertrud a surprisingly clever and well designed first enemy. (But perhaps I'm stuck in Mami fan mode, and just see Mami in everything)

I could go on a deranged rant about every possible parallel between Mami and Gertrud but I should not
like how Mami killing Gertrud could symbolise her overcoming her loneliness now that she has Madoka and Sayaka
I swear I'm gonna post about other fandoms or other Madoka Magica girls at least but the Mami Tomoe hyperfixation is real
why does Gertrud get brought up so much on this blog? I don't even like her that much and yet I've posted so much about her
