Without him it would have happened sooner, possibly prior to the events of the series. It's unknown for how long he's been doing his shit.
Most dynamic characters in the medium
>Without him it would have happened sooner
Prove it.
New stuff is without Urobutcher. I interpret the meta part as his middle finger to being forced to continue a finished story.
I mean, Bebe is in the film literally because he saw all the Bebe x Mami doujins and thought, "Wow, that's retarded. Imma make it canon" - according to his interviews.
Because again the whole point is that it's an alien race that doesn't care about humanity specifically. They have multiple planets they help develop and gather hope from. If there was no imminent threat they wouldn't care about doing this so much. The reason why it's not imminent is because they keep pushing it back with limited but consequent amounts of energy. When you're in that kind of setting you always assume the status quo is the same as our universe unless the reverse is shown or stated. The heat death is just as slow in the Madoka universe as in ours - because Kyubey is there to push it back.
>I interpret the meta part as his middle finger to being forced to continue a finished story.
That's actually something I can get behind, because that's exactly what I would have done. How much do we know about the context of how and why the movie was made?
That's not proof.
>They have multiple planets they help develop and gather hope from.
Also prove this while you're at it.
Great argument
Yes, it's proof when it's literally the point of Kyubey's character. And it would make no sense for them to only have Earth for the same reason. He clearly said that he was searching for species capable of hope and despair, and ended up finding humanity which was exceptionally good at it. He wouldn't be saying this if that was something specific to humanity.
