Was Madoka really a deconstruction of the magical girl genre?

Was Madoka really a deconstruction of the magical girl genre?

lol, no

It was just well executed edginess

Homura literally did nothing wrong
Madoka did everything wrong

Using Sup Forums's meme definition, no.
Using the correct definition, no_.

>Homura and Madoka
I was still here when they were still called Small Lady and Mistress 9

It can be interpreted that way.

No, Kyubey was a deconstruction of the magical pet but that was done before in similar way in Bokurano's anime.

>dark = deconstruction
When will this meme end?

Yes. It takes well known parts of the magic girl genre like the power of love, the magical pet, yuri, the team of magical girls, etc and presents them in contrary manner. That fits a deconstruction.
