If I have to think this much about the ending to "get it" then it just confirms to me that this is indeed a piece of sh*t of an ending...


Absolutely agree.
I dont even think the writers know what the ending is about - else someone somwhere would have let us in on the secret meaning to the ending!

Even with the DLC I dont think I will "get it". There are too many loose ends to tie up, too many plot holes and contradictions. You cannot just ADD stuff to a poo sandwich to make it taste ok - perhaps removing the poo/star child is a better start

That's no moon it's a space station!

Given the relative sizes, you might want to suggest that instead it was simply Mars that was shuffled by the mass-effect shockwave to close proximity to Earth, where it started co-orbiting with the moon.

As for why it looks white/grey instead of red? Energy of the shockwave caused isntanteous reduction of the various minerals, changing the surface colour?


Exactly; were it Mars, it would reflect the light differently. I don't think the mineral explanation is plausible (I'm trying to keep this serious, hard sci-fi after all).

The difference in size is explained simply by proximity. Deimos is far closer to Earth (and curiously orbits in the opposite direction) which causes some problems for areas relying on tides.

See the part of the Citadel I see explode is the central bit you know like where Shepard is. The wards seem to be okay likely gonna crash on Earth but I mean it's not like that'll have long term climate affects. But still the concussive force and heat from a blast like that he's one crispy critter in the destroy ending the brat implied it would break his implants to so he should be dead. That and their is no way the Normandy landed on Earth. Also how would it have slowed down from FTL without it's engines? I mean the blast was behind them and going faster so it would of added more momentum at that point. You know what I notice.

You got a lot of strange ideas after seeing 5 minutes of multi-colored explosions.

that and deimos is bean shaped, not so much round like we see...


It was bean-shaped. Not anymore…

If you notice, the colour order is wrong. It's BGR rather than RGB.  That is a clear implication that the scheme is reversed from the normal: R = B, G = G, B = R.

Jessica tried to tell us it was on earth then on mars (really) then she finally admited she didn't know...

It all makes sense now. Because EARTH IS MARS! We got its moon!

This is not the ending you are looking for.

Common misconception. The explosion does indeed happen in the ‘bottom’ central area of the Tower, but the best seats of the house were located a little ways further up, so the immediate explosion wasn't too bad. This is obvious, really, because you're overlooking a ward directly, rather than the bottom of the station and the Ring, like you would be if you were in that central area.

The wards seem to be okay likely gonna crash on Earth but I mean it's not like that'll have long term climate affects.


Yeah, it's still unknown whether Earth will be viable to live on.

destroy ending the brat implied it would break his implants to so he should be dead.


The keepers were just lying to try to save their skin, although the explosion was large enough to cause a small-radius EMP.

That and their is no way the Normandy landed on Earth. Also how would it have slowed down from FTL without it's engines? I mean the blast was behind them and going faster so it would of added more momentum at that point. You know what I notice.


It wasn't in FTL yet, that's the thing. When the shockwave hit, Normandy was almost out of its reach (just past Mars) but it hit them enough to destroy the engines before they had time to accelerate, and caused the craft to hurtle through space toward Earth. There was enough power in the surface ion drives that EDI was able to break in a semi-controlled manner enough that the craft was caught in the gravity well when it got to Earth, and then try to bring it down somewhat safely. EDI was trying to land into the sea near the coast, in the bay itself, but unfortunately the crippled controls, debris in the landing vector, and the EMP after-effects caused her to miscalculate by a little under 50 km.

I like it! If Bioware really does just try to "clarify," they'll have a hard time making something more plausible than this... and that's saying something.

A good enough idea but it is simply made up of too many assumptions. To "get it" you have to base your reasoning with more that assumptions, and det some actual facts. We never see Joker turn around and comparing the sequence with the Normandy it looks alot like when you travel through a Mass Relay. Besides IF he did turn around, why does he not fly into the explosion instead of away from it??

That explosion covered the whole central (By centre I mean the ring thing you know where Shepard was) point not just the top/bottom area.

So basically if he's lying about that one little thing he could be lying about all of it and none of what we did would of done anything. Could of just made us really high and made us thing we saw the rest of those colours. Maybe we ate some bad mushrooms.

The speed that light was moving at covered a solar system in just a few seconds (takes a lot longer than that for light) it took just a few seconds for it to catch Joker after you see it start gaining and he nearly matched it's speed. They were definiely moving faster than the speed of light easy. Also it's not an ion drive it's a ME core it's the reason they can do FTL by removing most of their mass it's also how they stop safely but you'd still need engines. If they turn the thing off at FTL speeds they'd probably get ripped to shreds.

The Shockwave transported Joker and the Normandy into the Star Wars universe and the planet they crashed on was Endor, They arrived just in time to witness the destruction of the Deathstar and the fall of the Empire.
Oh, and Joker's midichlorion count is through the roof.

The extended DLC will feature Ewoks... a lot of Ewoks.

So. What you are saying is. . . the star child is a jedi . . .

Mind = blown.

Negative Commander. The Starbrat is the ultimate Sith Lord. Make's Reaper's out of the Jedi that he doesn't eat for breakfast.

I ... I get it now ... it all makes sense .

They were all on earth all along !!

That wasn't a second moon .. that was the Catalyst .... yes

The Catalyst's Egg

And ... and the Catalyst ....

HE WANTED ALL OF US TO BE REAPERS .. I GET IT NOW

Image IPB

So that means ... that means ... when Shepard chose destroy it was RED BECAUSE THAT'S THE COLOUR OF ... BLOOD

I UNDERSTAND NOW

Image IPB

Truly BioWare should be proud that they have achieved ART with this ending . Yes ... Yes .. It all makes sense 

Image IPB

Aha.. ahaha .. AHAHAHAHAHA ... *







*on a serious note , the parallels between Evangelion and Mass Effect 3 are incidental and comical at best considering Evangelion built up the heavily implied psychological nature of their work from the very start of the show and was a constant mindfrak from Episode 2 , escalating into characters being mindraped , violated , depressed , suicidal etc all through the later episodes whereas Mass Effect was always about unity , paragon interrupts , fast paced infiltrator headshots , and space opera goodness . Let's not also forget that not only did Anno create the movie End of Evangelion as satisfaction for his fans who hated the way he ended the show , but he also REMADE the Entire series years later changing HIS OWN STORY which not only became an international hit , but won him the Japanese Oscar with the second NEW movie he made . There are countless other reasons why the comparison is comical but ultimately devoid of real connection because the artistic depiction of psychology in Evangelion is incongruent with the space opera epic of ME3 .. which is one of many reasons why the endings failed . (constructive criticism right there in the link) .
