Did you miss the part where the levi took down the reaper, effortlessly? I'm pretty sure Control is not as safe as you think it might be. Did you play it yet?
If you mean in your cannon, your sheps going to take some reapers to kill them off? Again how? They just flopped the reaper out of the sky?
Think again very carefully about what you saw. Three of the monsters rising up while a Reaper bore down on the shuttle. Some magic balls glowing. The Reaper suddenly staggering, flipping and fallling in the water.
Did that seem like 100% certain death
in mid-air? Can you guarantee that's what happened?
No. You can't. Equally plausible is the intepretation that Leviathan merely stunned the Reaper long enough for it to fall under the waves- where the three of them could tear it limb from limb.
3 on one. Surprise attack. Absolutely zero indication of what it cost them. You can hardly claim it was "effortless".
Further proof: If Leviathan could just curbstomp Reapers, why has it been hiding all this time? Why did its race lose in the first place? Why did it not strike back after the first or second cycle where there were only two or three Reapers and no other minions?
Conclusion: Leviathan may take down Reapers by getting the jump on them. It might even be able to win 1v1 in open combat. But it cannot stand against the combined might of the Reapers, nor can it touch the holokid.
And the new control entity is even stronger. For now.
Ironic. This may be the first time "artistic integrity" is actually integral. Even the Reapers' former masters are getting ****blocked by the "no conventional victory" clause.
