And in some way definitely the very end of it, Landing on Rannoch and the last flight of the Migrant Fleet, it was amazing.
And making a good guy from the Illusive man... I just feel right about it, I don't know why but way you showed him was the Great ending for a great man.
There are two things that pushed in this direction with Cerberus and the Illusive Man first my conversations with Miranda she says that she wishes there were more people like Shepherd in Cerberus not as man Xenophobes. That comment told me two things.
1. Miranda is not a Xenophobe
2. That Cerberus as great potential for good. and a lot people needed to be cleaned out.
For me that fact that Illusive Man always mentions humanity, not the Alliance, human race. Humanity got me thinking. What the hell is so special about humanity and boom it hit me. Humanity adapts, humanity grows, humanity leans and moves past differences. Sometimes slow, sometimes fast but we always do. That is something the other Council Races lack. Look a Shepherds crew, Turian and human, Krogan and Salarian, Geth and Quarian.
The ability to unify people around us is what the Reapers probably fear the most. The Reapers for Centuries have used fear as means of the destruction. Thats why humanity i feel is so important to TIM the courage to face the impossible and not blink. Its what the other races lack. or fail to see in each other.
I thinkg that "...Turian and human, Krogan and Salarian, Geth and Quarian..." has something to do with Shepard himself than the humanity, like TIM said he's a natural leader.
I believe TIM wants the best for the Humanity. Not without side profit but still. Every race has devils and saints, and so do Humans, but you are right about the attitude of Humanity in general.
TIM is not one of the saints and he would be the first to admit it (Like Miranda said) but he has goal that's worth fighting for. I just disagree with his sometimes extreme methods and he's even going to extreme with his goal, namely progress of Humanity at the expense of the other races.
And for the Reapers, I don't they used fear, they don't have to.
They just poped up from the dark space every time so the organics neither had time for something like fear... And boom!!! They were ones of the Reapers too and fully understanded why are Reapers doing all those things so lets join them too. And this cycle was repeating again and again.... And now we are standing before millions of them, millions of ancient races turned into the Reapers want to do us the same thing.
Edit:
And to add one more thing...
I think that the other races had the courage to face the impossible too, but they are "old" species in compare to Humanity OR have their own problems:
Krogans have genophage
Quarians are living on a Migrant Fleet, they don't have enough resources for some huge progress.
Elkors... Well, they are... "slow" in compare to the others.
Hanars same like the Elkors when out of water.
Volus are not able to do almost anything except making money.
And I could continue....
We are very young among them so we have the energy, the fuel they've already used.
