      The whole "mass relays being destroyed annihilates entire systems" thing was inconvenient for the Big Mood/Feel at the original ending so they ignored it and assumed the audience would too.

      which is honestly almost Rowling-tier bullshit (if not even WORSE, since it was compromise design by committee)

      It's not really uncommon, though. I think SF in particular has a bad habit of going for Big Thematic Scenes/Imagery At Expense of Character or Setting. Nobody was ever REALLY on board with ME for its Themes or Big Ideas, but for the character beats & illusion of cohesive world.

      Okay but the ending of ME3 isn't "this is absolutely the best story beat we could have right now", it's "we don't even give a fuck, enjoy your Xen Syndrome"

      I suppose? IDK, after six years of working toward making peace between everyone I could find and *succeeding* in it, the synthesis option felt like, to me, a natural outcome based on how I'd played the series up to then, not a "don't give a fuck" moment.

      The synthesis ending reads like somebody's dad excitedly calling you up on the phone because they've only just heard of transhumanism and think it's profound. The journey there was not thematically coherent. It's the SFF version of suddenly fighting Jesus for no reason

      Guess we'll just have to disagree on this one.

      The first game is literally about how evil Saren is for wanting people to be transhumanist (or at least transcarnist).

      Sure, until it's about the giant robot space squid that has indoctrinated him into trying to open a pathway for the rest of the giant robot space squids. They laid down that plotline pretty early, and Saren's mind isn't his own long before he realizes it isn't.

      The reason why people seriously thought the Synthesis ending was a dream Shepard was having as she got indoctrinated definitely wasn't because the game's relationship with transhumanist themes was consistent or coherent. Saren's writing was VERY explicit in ME1.

      Well but that's the twist, you were supposed to see Illusive Man as a better version of Saren who might have been able to pull off what Saren couldn't because he was smarter, only he fails at the last moment And then Control/Synthesis Shepard is better than TIM
