I know there is still the Breath part at the end, but I just think that's Bioware saying Shep lives. .
Yes but why would they bother showing this?
They could just leave the entire thing to your imagination.
And why would they only show it with the "Destroy" ending?
Think about it...
Well, because on Control he isn't alive to take a breath. He's a super reaper.
And on Synth, he's dead.
Reject everyone dies.
I understand why Destroy is red now after seeing the ending changes by the by...
The Star Child is trying to make things right, over and over. He's caught in a logic loop.
The Crucible is like a big giant memory stick, it flies into the Citadel and allows the Catalyst to break the loop. He can then actually change the outcome, which up to that point has sucked for all parties involved really.
But he can't actually make the change. He's just the Catalyst. He is what enables the change to occur, but he doesn't actually do the change himself. He needs someone to do it.
By that logic, Destroy is kind of a renegade choice. Shep lives at the end, but the cost is greater, the loss of the Geth, Edi, other synthetic life. He chooses his own life over the lives of innocents. That's renegade. So he takes a breath at the end. It's showing you flat out that you won, but at a high cost.
Control is blue, because he sacrifices his corporeal form to win. He lives, but his cost is greater than the common man's. That's paragon.
Green is still weird. I'm still not a fan of space magic.
Have you seen Shepard's eyes in Control / Synth ending? They are indoctrinated.
As you correctly noticed: Destroy is kind of a renegade choice.
But its the only ending where Shepard's eyes do not change.
The whole point of the dream sequence - and the star child is that - in a last attempt - the Reapers are trying to indoctrinate you - which is why Shepard wakes up during Destroy - because he breaks free of that attempt.
Starchild - controlled by the Reapers - is trying to prevent you from choosing red all along.
