Best Yuno.
I have an urge to draw the words "this space for rent" between her eyes. The internet has damaged me.

Does anyone here think that Kyubey is a badass?
For manipulating a bunch of easily impressionable preteens with pre-conceived fantasies?
He is the most pathetic salesman ever.
Kyubey tortures emotional young girls.
That's both not especially difficult and not very cool.
Also, having a stupid pun for a name is not very badass either.
He is adorable when you are not familiar with Madoka, at least.
Isn't that simplifying it a bit? I mean yeah he's kind of a dick to some teenage girls, but that's because he wants to save the universe.

That's it, Scout's name is now Sandy.

Nanoha's ex-boyfriend?
Wait, that's Yuuno.
Doesn't he want to stop entropy or something?
He does, but he doesn't have the emotional ability to care enough. What [the Kyubey race]'s doing is systematic self-preservation to continue their species existence. He doesn't want anything, he's doing it as that's what a species should be doing in such a situation, trying to keep itself alive at all costs.
We could expand this into saying their species is ultimately logical and therefore doesn't care if the human race dies for the continued existence of every other species in the universe, but that still looking at it as an equation in [their] mind. They don't want anything, they're just going according to logic.
I say their because all the Kyubey seem to be synched into one being and that's why they can just replace each other wherever the last one was killed.
Plus, still lots and lots of literally depressed to death teenage girls.
Well I hope you can still pride yourself on emotionally stable teenage girls when the heat death of the universe hits
Given that two emotionally unstable teenage girls found a more humane way to do it, I think it's safe to say that they could've too, it was just more efficient/easier this way. Also, even then, the heat death of the universe is just so ridiculously far from our scope of understanding that it's still too little to make them sympathetic.
Hey, what works works!
Not when it's allowing teenage girls to rewrite the universe to their whims.
I just think the whole "entropy" thing was kind of dumb altogether. The witches are a destructive force, and magical girls need to stop it, no further explanation needed, it gives the Kyubeys a better motive and has the added bonus of parsimony.
That doesn't actually work, though, because the witches are magical girls, and the Kyubeys created them.
Which would leave them with no reason for ever having done anything.
That's why I said "the whole entropy thing", that part obviously included.
Oh, okay.
I kind of don't buy that kyubey, or his race, wanted to 'save' the universe, as much as preserve their own well-being, as was already said. Once they used Earth for its purpose, they feel content to abandon it. I'd imagine that Earth isn't the first, nor the last, planet that this will occur to.
@Madoka: I'm not gonna get into the entropy debate, or the one about whether or not Kyubey is actually serving the greater good of the whole universe, or his own, but no, Eelektross, Kyubey is not a badass. He's an effective villain, for the purposes of the story, and I liked him quite a bit, though.
Meanwhile, I have nine or so sources to draw on for a paper, so it shouldn't be a problem, but I don't know how to start, and I won't be able to write this particular essay until that's decided.
And I'm not sure how running a farm fulfills any of that in any shape or form.
Suh-weet-ness.
I am going to mistake you for myself every single time.
I was given Duke Devlin.
Hell yeah.
And I've officially mistaken myself for GMH as well.
Oh dear.
