Kids like boss fights, cultured mature adults prefer deep, thought provoking, mentally stimulating endings.

I believe Bioware is choosing NOT to cater to the MTV generation of "kids" who are 13-25. Instead Bioware is choosing to cater to their more mature audience and striving to push the limits of todays youth.
Bioware i respect you for this. Most Bioware writers are probably over the age of 28 right?
My challenge to the young generation of ME players is this. Try to think like a mature adult instead of a silly kid wanting a boss fight at the end of the game. I say this with the deepest respect possible since the youth have to carry the torch. Consider your limits pushed.
If I come off arrogant then I apologize in advance.

I don't mind a lack of boss fight... I do mind that thinking about the ending in any sort of criticizing thought process reveals probably more plot holes then I've seen in any triple-A storytelling of any sort in a very very short amount of time. Not to mention to me it comes off as a child trying to do an arty fanfiction. That last bit is just my opinion, but seriously, when you have to go against established characteristics to make your symbolism, its a terrible idea, no matter how good the concept could have been? Why? Because the story and characters weren't written with the concept in mind. That's already been proven by the original lead writer stating what his intentions were.

So far, you've argued that anyone who did not understand the ending did not pay attention to the game, comics and books; that people who've questioned the ending are idiots; and now you're saying that the people who don't understand it are "kids." Many of us have asked for one thing, an ending that makes sense and fits into the ME universe.
Mass Effect 3's ending does not make sense, nor does it fit into the ME themes or it's universe.

If you think his argument is worth discussing then fine, but posting here just to call him a troll only enables the "trolling" by giving him more visibility...

Do you see Witcher 2 there? no, you don't. Stay free
Since somebody else already showed you that you were wrong with nothing being written about the Witcher 2, let me just say, you were right. I shlould probably have written.

Having a boss fight and having a deep, thought provoking, mentally stimulating endings are not mutually exclusive.

I was talking about The Witcher as a series, both the first and the second game.
And yes, the drunk singing quest and the sex cards from The Witcher 1 are still much more funny and much more mature than Mass Effect's drunken Shepard passing out and dry-humping Miranda in the engine room. But those are little details. We were talking about the story, the plot and the ending. The Witcher gives Mass Effect a run for it's money in that department.

It pretty much seems to boil down to people unable to understand such a powerful work of art. I place some blame on public schools. With cutting art and PE programs kids have been proven to get fatter, and unable to understand something unless every minuscule detail is written in permanent marker on the inside of their eye lids.
You keep repeating your same BS over and over again, and we have called you out on your BS over and over again, but you just ignored that for your own convenience, didn't you?. You just keep repeating the same BS, ignoring what anyone else says.
Fail troll is fail.

Not really. If someone keeps yelling grass is purple, and I tell them it's green it's not insulting them, simply pointing out something obvious that they fail/refuse to understand, while at the same time displaying that I'm right.

There is nothing deep, thought provoking or mentally stimulating about the ending. Being obtuse and dark just for the sake of it does not make a literary masterpiece.
This is why I hate 95% of gamers.

Hmm if i recall this correctly I had to read 30 pieces of dutch literature 20 pieces of english literature and 20 pieces of german literature in high school so i'm fairly sure i have an understanding and appreciation for good storytelling. Mass Effect 3's ending was not a powerful work of art

Well then, first off: I did not like the ending. It has nothing to do with art, absolutely nothing. It wasn't thought-provoking, it wasn't powerful, it was plain shallow and unoriginal as well as plain nonsensical. The reasons for that have been explained a thousandfold on these forums, I'm not gonna give you a rundown here.
As for your problem with public schools... I'm not even American, so I don't know their school system or any other school system aside from the German one. What I do know is that the education here in Germany is anything but cutting art and PE. In fact, cultural education and sports are highly advertised here. I know a thing or two about art, the only problem this entire idiotic art argument boils down to is: Art cannot be fully defined. Everyone has a different definition of it and everyone is equally more or less right or wrong. So attacking other people or even an entire educational system because they do not share your liberal interpretation of the word "art" only shows that you either are a socially awkward penguin or that you simply don't know that opinions vary from person to person. I can't do anything about the former, but the latter could easily have been solved by taking a few classes of social studies.
EDIT: In addition, I should maybe mention that right now I'm studying both German literature and English literature at a university... so yeah, I understand a thing or two about writing and art.

Taking Higher Art & Design, P.E and English right now in school.
I hate the ending.
But you're a massive ****ing troll who himself can't admit people don't like something he thinks is perfect.

Yeah I agree. It seems like the OP thought that just because there was an absence of a boss fight, there was thought-provoking priority in the ending of ME3. That certainly was not the case: in the context of the lore and themes established in the first two games, ME3's ending made absolutely NO sense.
