How does a ball of light make people into cyborgs? How does it turn synthetics into cyborgs? OR BETTER YET! How does it decide what's "Organic Life" and what's a tree, or a jellyfish, or the Flu? How is it universal when all of these species are like, CRAZY different? Do they all just turn into reapers? Is that it? Does the Green Light Scenario just turn everyone into Reapers with thought (and maybe prettier, blech) I'm so confused and upset right now. XD

Easily the most vague aspect of the ending.

[BrotherFluffy]

Yeah, welcome to the club. Apparently, it just gives organic life a blue sheen, if the end video is to be believed.

Vomitray™ Reapertech industries, made for unknown reasons and never used, though it could fix cycle problems right away.

It seems to me like it just makes the reapers even stronger... seeing as they're synthetics, and the Merge ending makes synthetics merge with organics. They essentially control everyone and everything at that point. Perhaps not "control", but they become a part of everything in the universe.

Magic space fairy pixie dust of course!

[LuckyASN]

Space magic does science stuff.

[Craquehead]

Because "Space Magic" ™.

[Almostfaceman]

It makes as much sense as Joker deserting Shepard.

Ugh, I played Mass Effect for almost 6 or 7 years now, and all I got was this lousy ending.

That could be a T-shirt.

[fish of doom]

but it's space lol

[thesnake777]

Listen to the Reaper on Rannoch: "It is not a thing you can comprehend." Just don't even try.

They're obviously not Reapers in the synthesis ending. From what I saw after the Normandy crash, Joker, EDI, and Kaidan appeared to be having perfectly human reactions to both being alive and on landing on a beautiful new world. Do you think Reapers would smile and behave like, well, people????

Whether you buy into what happened or not, it seemed roughly equivalent to nanotechnology being deployed on a massive scale. The beam was responsible for changing the base matter from which everything is made so that organic life incorporates synthetic elements  (Joker) and synthetic life (EDI) takes on organic elements. I think it only changed their bodies, not their minds or their personalities.

Yes, it's a mystery as to how the green light did this. I just chalked it up to the green beam being an energy stream containing a code/program capable of transforming all matter. Call it magic or complete nonsense if you like, but  I didn't expect a detailed explanation in that moment. And I'll point out that Arthur C. once said that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

As for Joker trying to outrace the beam in the ending and running off, I thought about it thanks to a comment and an earlier thread. I believe that Joker (being Joker and all) would have swooped in to try to rescue everyone he could on Earth, possibly after being contacted by Kaidan or whoever else survived. Given the events of Arrival (a star system being destroyed when the mass relay exploded), it might very well have looked to him as if the mass relay was going to take out the entire Sol system - hence his attempt to escape and save who he could. That's my guess about it since it's not like anyone was around who could explain what was happening.

"Shepard believed in the green light, the orgiastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's no matter--tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.... And one fine morning-- So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past."

The preceding is the most famous use of a green light in the last passage of a work of fiction. And yes substituting the last paragraph from the Great Gatsby as the ending of ME3 would actually make it better. (And also it makes more sense than what Bioware managed.)

The ending was already a massive trainwreck at that point. But when he actually started explaining it? Christ I exploded laughing. It was the worst thing ive heard in my life.

Little did I know it was only going to get worse with the relays being destroyed and the normandy fleeing for some reason.

[SLPr0]

A wizard did it.
