Synthesis is even worse than Control... What if some people would rather choose death than be a half-machine?
but the idea is there is no concept of machine or organic anymore. There is only life.
I literally made this face.
I was awe struck. I then proceeded to laugh so hard I had to get up and leave my computer. This is clearly Mr. Gamble's opinion but given Bioware's inherent favor towards Synthesis it only made me question the rationale behind the very idea behind the concept they created. This is a failure in artistry. The artist must ALWAYS have the ability to be asked questions and Bioware didn't think we would have any. Well......
What Synthesis essentially proposes to me is a bastardized Utopia. One created by forcibly removing the things that make the species unique, their diversity. One person was given this choice.......ONE. No one asked the humans, the asari, the krogan, the geth about what THEY wanted. We are given topical information by a Star Child who proposes this is the only solution to this problem. Shepard has no option to even discuss anything. Are you serious Bioware? By removing the undesirable elements we can achieve peace? Do you understand the political undertones in this?
At what point in development was it deemed the best solution to rewrite the way the universe has functioned for billions and billions of years?
At what point was it deemed ethical for one person to decide what was best for the universe? To play god?
How do you merge synthetic and organics?
How do they reproduce now? Are the usual elements no longer favorable? Are sperm and eggs obsolete?
Why is Joker still limping? His condition doesn't seem to have benefitted by being turned into something else.
Plants are now shown sentient now too. Can I no longer eat vegetables? Fruit?
Do I have to eat? Sleep?
To what extreme is the synthesis? Do I still have free will?
To what degree are the original synthetics affected? Do they grow hair and real feelings? Skin?
Joker's hat is green as well. Are synthetic fibers affected as well? Can I no longer wear certain types of pants because they might find me in them obejctionable?
When I attend the Cannes film festival I expect a good degree of discussion because the films are so cerebral. But I know the director has a problem when the narrative is literally torn apart to get answers. This isn't speculation. It's an abject failure without any sort of information............
I'm reminded of an image from The Wall. The goosestepping hammers marching towards a "goal" at any cost.
"HAMMER! HAMMER!"
