Madoka Magica

This bitch has been in my backlog for years now and I finally got around to watching it.
So I'm guessing Madoka is supposed to be a metaphor for Jesus Christ?
So far it's the only thing that I can put together, is there anybody else that perceived this show differently or was it supposed to be very apparent that Madoka was a metaphor for Jesus?

Watch Rebellion.

That's what Shaft and Aniplex get for trying to force a single-cour show into being a franchise. Butcher had to be fed an ending for Rebellion, then when he saw he was losing control of his story, he said "Screw this, I'm outta here."

oh shit I didn't realize there were movies
should I watch those or do they ruin the anime?

>Butcher had to be fed an ending for Rebellion
He was suggested to write a non-happy ending, and it was what he came up with. He seems pretty satisfied with what he wrote though, if we consider the interview which he said he had written all there is to the story and this is the true ending.
I think the major reason no new Madoka could be made is it would take a lot of effort to get Magika quartet together again and Shaft's schedule is already stacked. Also the expectation would be insane so they probably just don't want to continue it.

Watch and form your own opinion.
It's a very divisive movie for sure, depend on your take on Homura character you would either hate it or love it.
I personally think it elevates the franchise, but I'm sure many here would disagree with me.

would it be possible to go a little further into details without being spoilery? does it have major retcons and what have you?

Movies 1 and 2 are pretty much the same as the series, except it has some improved visuals and some new music. Some scenes were removed though.

Movie 3 is a continuation of the story.

>this is the true ending
Did he really say this? The ending was a cliffhanger. It was clear to me that it was made with continuations in mind.
