I love this. This is spot on.
They are our Gods, our parents, our ancestors, and it is in the nature of children to rebel.
My fuzzy backside!
Whatever they were, they're gone now. What's left can accurately be described as demonic: they seek to control, manipulate, destroy and oppress. They aren't satisfied with taking the body, they want the mind and soul as well.
They deserve our rebellion.
The Reapers aren't evil, they're simply... alien, and so far beyond our understanding as to be incomprehensible.
My question has always been, if the Reapers harvest organic life to bring order to the universe, then why not harvest ALL organic life once and for all? Is it because harvesting is the only purpose of the Reapers? If the Reapers cease to have organic life to harvest do they cease to have purpose, and by extension, cease to exist?
If the Space Brat was telling the truth, the Reapers respect organic life but not in the same way that humans do. They likely see each species as deserving a chance to develop to a certain point, but not beyond. At that point, they remove the dominant beings to give the others a shot. It is a radical notion, but not foreign- certain environmentalist extremists have desired, but never been able to produce, weaponry to remove humanity in the name of "everything else".
Personally, I've equated their "order" as simple control from beings with a god mentality. They allow species to evolve and adapt the Reaper tech in order to show their worth. When the Reapers return, they judge the species- those worthy will be "ascended" to Reaper "Godhood"; those not, will be destroyed or used in whatever way is most expedient.
For one, that concept of the reaper perspective on life was shown in ME2 with the baby reaper and the collectors.
The other parts come from Sovergin and the rennoch reaper.
The truth is the star child never provied anything new to the arguement, he just reused what other reapers have stated.
The next problem is there really is no way to find out if the star kid is telling the truth. Much of what he states counter what was stated and shown before as fact...This normal happen when someone is lieing.
I do agree they think they are trying to help us but I feel they are still not trying to debate with us about it yet.That they are still trying to force us. The reapers are timeless machine, they watched organics for eons, they know how we thing and how to manipulate us.this made clear by the fact they us indoctrination and the mass relay trap..Hech, that ammout of planning it took to make the mass relay trap the way it works for eons is staggering. The fact remain they have the info on organics to debate with us there points, BUT THE FACT REMAIN THAT THEY DON'T WANT TO AND THINK IT'SNOT WORTH DOING. The fact that they invade us to force their belief on organic with out explination every cycle shows this. Even the star kid never give detail info on the reapers reasons....It all vague.....
No really can take what is stated in the end by the star kid as face value...Nor the ending with the level of decite the reaper have been shown to be capible of.
It's in their nature to try and trick organics.
