Well, I suppose we'll see this summer. But as stands, we have that pernicious, unambiguous "Shepard ended the Reaper threat" hanging over all 3 endings.

As opposed to slightly more literally stabbing her in the back by hitting a button that may or may not kill her.
FRIENDSHIP.
EDI obviously supports rewriting code to allow for change or upgrade. And that's what the heroic sacrifice Shepard endings (seem to) do.
Actually when you talk to her for the last time in london, she says that she is willing to give her life to destroy the reapers.
Yes. But you also have 3 options now. Only one of them requires EDI (MAYBE, I'm still not convinced she dies in destroy. The geth do, though) dying.
And everyone's willing to die in the suicide mission. I bet you didn't oblige them, too.
I liked the others, and their deaths don't really help anything. The reapers' deaths on the other hand are beautiful.

The Reapers are already synthesis...Hadeedak wrote...
If "Working with" means "Changing them so they are no longer a threat to organics"... Then maybe?

Yeah they embrace eachother in a very Adam and Eve way, but the characters always look happy in that jungle scene even though tali and garrus are going to starve. Even your love interest always seems to be chipper considering everythin that just happened.

Clearly it's not *everything* since they still visibly care about each other.
Unless sythesis makes them less fertile. You don't know anything except that was shown, that's the point.balance5050 wrote...
Well I do know that the krogans are terminator krogans that will out live and outbreed every other thing in the universe under synthesis. They would be immune to a future genophage project as well.

Them going to starve is also headcanon.
Depressing, depressing headcanon. And hey, they just survived a total wreck, they're alive... There can be some happy.

Ah.. but EDI said she'd be willing to die for Joker.
.....Sooooo? It's not like it was Virmire and it was "Pick Destroy, kill the Reapers but also kill EDI" or "Pick Synthesis, change the reapers but kill Joker."

In fact whole assumption that Saren's meant Synthesis is merely circumstantial evidence.
In any case, you can consider mad fertility to be a "weakness" and proper population control "strength".

Maybe not obviously.. but the reapers are definitely the most dangerous thing in the galaxy (Shepard+Crucible combo aside). We have 1 shot with the crucible. If the reapers aren't dead you are risking everyone in the galaxy on the trust they won't just keep killing everyone.
It had to look like SOMETHING and C) It's subject to speculation and interpretation.

actually, i was thinking that could be a way the cycle ends under a face value interpretation, it ends because of the difficulty with reproductivity meaning life ends anyway.

It means CONSERVING YOUR SPECIES AS A WHOLE.
If the Krogan overbreed (as we've seen MANY times on a number of planets that to do, will and have EXTREMELY bad effects on the planet's biosphere.) they will strip a planet of it's resources. Which means Krogan inhabiting said planet die off from lack of food, potable water, and the like.
High fertility on Tchanka WAS a benefit, because 99% of the Krogan born also DIED. Beating the environment by sheep weight of numbers. Anywhere else, this was NOT something good, an evolutionary advantage is only an advantage in the environment it evolved in.
