We keep mentioning the citadels eerie calming effect, so I'm gonna add that maybe that's why the council is so dang unhelpful. The citadel won't let them take the reapers seriously.

Something that occurred to me, finally watching that trailer.

If the Reapers are meant to be "misunderstood villains" they why are they continuing to be cast and portrayed in such a negative light everywhere we see them?

The Earth Trailer gives this badass feeling of lone heroes fighting off the monsters just beyond the edges of human sanity, then how does that mesh with the feeling they are trying to give in the last 5 minutes?

Why bother continuing to portray them as villains?

No reason, unless they still are.

I just created a poll about a possible canon-ending for the next ME sequel (That is, if there ever will be one). You might want to check it out!

Here's the link: http://social.biowar...77/polls/37378/

The canon ending is already pretty much set:
red, either bad or vaporization ending

Oh god, comparing the endings on their moral values...

It seems to me, that just like Anderson's and Shepard's emotionally ambiguous "I was born in London" line, the endings are also designed in such a way that none is ideal (which is of course the way of the universe), but why are they so increadibly dark. It's not three shades of grey but rather three shades of black.

In general the attempt to paint them as "misunderstood villians" made me cringe.

The Reapers have been systematically wiping out organics for at least a billion years and now they try to tell me it was justified in some weird way, that it was to create...peace...to preserve?

I understand the need or reason behind giving villians an understandable goal, but there is a huge leap between that and giving them a justifiable goal.

I would have been fine with it just beeing their reproductive cycle or a simply that the Reapers sees themselves as ascending others (similar to what you said) that would be understandable, but would not make them any less villians by trying to give some bull**** excuse of it beeing necesary.

Nice! You can make out Ashley and TIM's face pretty clearly there. And is that Eden Prime? Can't seem to think of areason that would be in there. They also seem to feature Harbinger ALOT. These visions that is, and it never really came to anything...

I prefer to think of them as slaves, I think there is a reaper that's a real villian controlling all other reapers, is it Harbinger?, I don't know, but we do know the original race were converted to reapers against their will(assuming the kid is telling the truth at that point), they take the essence of a race and store it in reaper form, think of that for a moment, the "essence" of a race.
But the most perplexing question to me, is why store it?, what's the future plan for that stored dna?

It also features Nazara and Ilos. (frame 45 for example)

Intriguing. I'd love to see the same for the one when you run out of time and fail Arrival.

That's one of the most obvious parts of the theory. Otherwise that kid would give Usain Bolt a run for his money.

And also would give Shepard a survive laser beam shot to face for his money.

Wouldn't say obvious, there are still some in denial, but definitely the oddest part of the Child. The dissappearing part.

The fact that he would have ran all the way from the top of the building you see him at first all the way to the top of the building you see him in the vent was pretty obvious to me that something silly was up before I even knew about the theory.

If this were a movie would there even be any doubt that the way it is presented, the kid is just in Shep's imagination?

Would be interesting to see the long one to see how much is similar... They still have your squadmates looking up to Harbinger on what seems to be the citadel...

Thanks!  Really appreciate it!  I'm going to look through them now.

It's Illium, the only Reaper on the Citadel is the one having a shooting fest in front of Anderson.

[Gwyphon]

That guy standing there as the reaper walks through the citadel in those screens is definitely Udina.

Edit: Around screen 112 where you can see the side of his face. Pretty sure it's Udina. I have been known to be wrong though.

Hey, now there's a good view of that one Reaper class we haven't seen yet:

In my opinion it's Anderson, Udina dresses in white.

[Gwyphon]

Screen 145: If that is Anderson, isn't it awfully reminiscent of the vision you get of Anderson for the destroy ending.

Screen 162: What exactly am I looking at here?

Yes, the explosion and the shielding of the head with the hand, it also reminds one of being hit by Harbinger.

That's from the ME2 outro where you see the Reaper fleet in motion closing in on the Milky Way. And yes the Anderson or Udina overlay looks interesting.
