On a side note: what happened to [[spoiler: Homura]] is on a conceptual not literal level an almost 1:1 match to the originally planned fate for X (changed to be Copy X in the last month) in the first Zero game. In short, X falls to despair, snaps, and becomes a psychotic shadow of his former self and his armor takes upon quite sinister angelic motives (closer to a FallenAngel). His acts are motivated by love for humanity. The kicker: his solution would have eventually damned human civilization due to an energy crisis. The similarities between Rebellion and the Zero series get really, really creepy when you think about it.

The 3rd of the Zero series had a relatively similar ending to PMMM in concept: heroic self sacrifice for man and reploids --> best friend finally finds peace with themselves (though via different reason namely killing a representation of his inner demons --> said person dashes off to fight for the hopes and dreams of person who made sacrifice in a world implied to have become WorldHalfFull. Unfortunately, that ending also got a HappyEndingOverRide thanks to ExecutiveMeddling and {{AssPull}}s.

I\'m more inclined to be cynical about it being pulled off well. Mainly due to how this is disturbingly like the events and BS that happened to the MegaManZero series. I\'m of the school that ExecutiveMeddling is inherently bad for a work.

I\\\'m of the school that ExecutiveMeddling is inherently bad for a work. To be honest, I never saw Rebellion. I just looked at the spoilers and decided to never see it due to those spoilers and in protest to the crapiness of the ending.
