  One paradox of time travel that ive always found fascinating is "If time travel could exist, it would have already existed."

  Going back in time is ironically about never being able to move forward.

  Minor correction regarding Madoka Magica:<br><br>The wishes Kyubey grants aren&apos;t Monkey&apos;s Paw-style. He actually does his level best to grant the wishes exactly as intended with no corruption or sneaky tricks; the running theme, however, is that the girls he targets aren&apos;t experienced/mature enough to articulate what they actually want.<br><br>Sayaka&apos;s wish is a perfect example of this: she wished for Kyosuke to be healed, and that&apos;s exactly what she got- full recovery of his hand, back to being a virtuoso violinist, no strings attached. But what she actually WANTED was for him to love her, and to be with him, and when she starts to lose that it sends her spiralling. Kyoko revealing her backstory to Sayaka hammers this point home, complete with a moral as a little bow on top: &quot;Use you wish for yourself, or you won&apos;t actually get what you want.&quot; The apocrypha reveals the backstory of several witches who essentially suffered the same fate (Charlotte&apos;s in particular is a big oof).<br><br>It takes Madoka herself the entire series to finally make her wish, at which point she&apos;s learned and grown enough to wish for what she truly wanted, and Kyubey grants it to the letter even though it goes against his agenda.

  What really struck me about Madoka Magica is that despite trying to save Madoka and failing uncountable times, Homurs CAN&apos;T give up hope. She MUST continue to rewind time and save Madoka, because in the act of giving up and giving in to despair, Homura will become a witch. So it is through her own willpower that Homura keeps going. She knows that her wish is doomed to failure, she knows now exactly what becoming a nagical girl means, and knows thst she can&apos;t keep any of them from meeting their fate, but she continues in the hope that she can save at least Madoka. <br><br>That&apos;s why, there in the last battle with Walpurgisnaught, Homura seems so desperate. Kyubey&apos;s revelation that with every cycle, she is making Madoka even more powerful, snd making it worse when she does become a witch, has her hesitating at the end. She is almost about to give up. We see her consider rewinding time, and then consider not rewinding. She&apos;s about to give in, and let herself become a witch, when Madoka shows up. At least that&apos;s the way I interpret it.

  There is something so comforting that so many humans have made time travel stories from a shared feeling of regret.<br>We all only get one chance at life and it’s our first time doing it.

  Homuras story kinda reminds me of the torture of a teenage crush. It&apos;s like you spend all that time with that person but you are so anxious about what you feel, think and think you know so that you can&apos;t really cherish just hanging out with the person you liked.

  Homura it&apos;s such a interesting character because she becomes less human everytime, her witch form has very interesting simbolisms but the ones I like the most it&apos;s her hat, which has a vinyl on it, and then she gets cut , a broken record, which repeats itself again and again. Her mouth it&apos;s covered, sewed, showing how she&apos;s unable to express her pain or to say anything. Such a hidden but good detail.

  the time travelling movie by ADAM SANDLER, Click indeed gets so terrifying because the time he lost while travelling through his life makes him miss out on all the little moments that creates beauty in life. It is such an interesting movie due to starting out so tasteless.

  Another aspect of time travel horror i was thinking about is the concept of cyclical time. I believe it was in an episode of Futurama where they essentially traveled back in time by traveling forward in time through the death and rebirth of the universe, eventually reaching the point they wanted in the first place.<br>This is straight up some cosmic horror shit, compared to the detachment of oneself from humanity.
