Ok so the citadel got moved to earth, my question is what happened to all those people on it?
Were
they killed, were they being indoctrinated, were they in hiding, was there a resistance within? Heck
liara's father was in there and she doesn't even show concern what
happened to her. Heck in all but the control ending the citadel blows up
so any people who were still alive all die...and Shepard doesnt even
think to ask the catalyst about all those people, I mean really Shep you talk yourself out of so many situations you couldnt try to convince the catalyst it was wrong?
So many things wrong with the endings.
So all the people on the citadel

Had to have been killed. The entire game you try to bring hope and in the end there was no hope for them at all.

Citadel doesn't even really matter, since the relays exploding means pretty much every single planet we've seen in the series has been destroyed.
Same way every single form of life can be changed into synthetic/organic hybrids.
Magic.

Mac Walters replied to a tweet asking that question and said that some managed to escape (Commander Bailey? Lol) but most of them are dead. Besides, it's just something like 14 million people on the citadel, nothing compared to the deaths on all the colonies as well as Earth, Palaven, Kharshan, Thessia etc.

Hmm, that was pretty much my headcanon, so nice to see it confirmed. Gotta take whatever brief spots of hope there are in the massive wave of garbage that is the epic conclusion to this trilogy.

Well, seeing as the Relays are destroyed no matter what, the blast should kill everyone on board, not to mention everyone else in a solar system with a Relay.

They're definitely continuing the franchise, probably picks up 10 years later or such from ME3's ending.

This
is a point that has been discussed thousands of times. The relays
exploding at the end of Mass Effect 3 doesn't kill anything else in
their system, it's different from crashing an asteroid into one.

If everyone on the citadel did indeed die, well that breaks my heart more than anything else from the ending, i spent the whole game running around the citadel giving people hope, helping them seeing friends being glad at least some of them would be safe.
Then at the end all those new faces on the citadel, dead and gone...its why I pick the control ending atleast this way the citadel survives with all potential survivers and the last mass relay in the galaxy.
Hmm you know that makes me think, could they use the citadel to take them all home, I mean if Shepard is now in control of the citadel and the reaper fleets could he aid the other races with the full knowledge of the citadel

I really hope they say something about the endings and go about fixing them...the end of a trilogy is supposed to answer questions and tie loose ends, not add more questions and invalidate the threads that have loose ends...I almost want an option to let the Reapers wipe everyone out...and who the hell is this "we" the "Catalyst" refers to?

This bugged me as well. Did the reapers go there and hitch up a tow rope and drag the thing to sol? An explanation would have been nice

^ The catalyst did it. No really, MEHGICAL SPESS GAWD and all.
Does it matter if anyone escaped the citadel?
The implications behind every single one of the endings besides MAYBE control (and that depends a lot on what actually became of Shepard; did s/he simply die to order the Reapers to leave or never return, or did s/he take the catalyst's place as their master?) are apocalyptic, even ignoring the fact that every mass relay going boom would basically wipe out 99% of life in the galaxy (Halo much?), and that the 800 million tons of citadel aren't just going to vanish (a fair amount is going to hit Earth).

Citadel - big relay. So a relay can be moved via relay? Relayception.

To me it looked like the relay shut off right after the beam was shot off and then it just fell apart unlike in Arrival where the astroid hit while it was active..

Could be the Citadel can move by itself and use the mass relays to jump itself....not as hard to imagine <love interest> and <squadmate> getting back aboard the Normandy from Earth, especially since for me, Ashley supposedly died when Harbinger burned Shepard to a crisp...

IronHam: It's exactly the same. If not, then Joker would not need to fly at FTL speeds to escape the blast......barely. Also, the view of the entire galaxy shows how big those blasts are. Either way, it just another example of Bioware being so vague with the ending.

How do you know it's different? The vid shows it vcan be seen far away from the galaxy, you think those explosion waves are doing no damage? If you smash a nucler bomb it explodes in the same way as when you push the button. For all we know, there is life only on the planet where Normandy landed.

In arrival, a destroyed relay destroyed the entire system, now red and green ending destroy every relay, yet no star system destroyed?

The thing is those people on the Citadel whose deaths are just brushed aside as meaningless in the grand scheme of things are just about all the people we actually know in the galaxy. So it's depressing.
Who do I care about on Thessia as much as I do about Charr's widow? Or even those unnamed Asari working in the embassy offices? Never mind Aethyta and Aria.
