Why was Homura in a desperate situation? It's not like she couldn't have made the exact same wish a week later, and then started time looping to protect Madoka.

Your criticism of Sayaka is simply not fair, unless you're going to make the exact same criticism of Kyouko and Homura. Mami perhaps gets a bit of a pass because of her circumstances.

Kyouko and Homura had all the time in the world too.


Look, it's simply human nature to care more about specific people that are very important to you than about the world in a general sense.

Personally, I'm kind of impressed that 4 of the 5 girls made wishes primarily for the sake of another person, or other people (Sayaka for Kamijo, Homura for Madoka, Kyoko for her father, and Madoka for Puella Magis in general) rather than think of a genuinely selfish wish. While none of the girls (except Madoka) thought "big picture good for all", at least none of the girls thought of your typical selfish wish (wish for lots of money, wish for eternal life, wish to be a famous movie star, etc...) either.
