Don't worry; what you're actually seeing in the Synthesis ending are the happily oblivious ramblings of a clearly indoctrinated EDI.  That's what the Synthesis blast is - spreading indoctrination and huskification on a galactic scale.  And the only thing the Reapers are helping to rebuild are their harvesting and processing plants.

It's like the first Matrix - you know, the one everybody rejected because it was "too perfect".

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARP.

all of a sudden the reapers are our friends.....

FAIL!!

Synthesis, turning reapers and the anti-reapers into one big happy family.
After that, anti reapers fight the reapers, then join the quarians and geth back into exile, with every other space-faring race. Including the geth. Civil war breaks out, everyone dies, the end

Instead of evolving, every race ends up stagnating, which results in a galaxy wide reeling of resentment towards humanity, shepard being the one that left everyone in this mess.  The other races band together and utterly obliterate humanity, before the reapers wipe everything out and disappear to darkspace having completed their objective - and with their new reaper 'Shepard' in tow.

Good job team milky way.

What can I say. I hated EDI's role in ME3. It was awkward and forced... so naturally hearing hear speech in the Synthesis EC ending just made that ending even worse. Oh yeah, and that husk was probably the worst way Bioware could ever go to convince us that Synthesis had potential. I can't figure if that shot was meant to be "beautiful" or to be an ambiguous perspective of the pros and cons of the choice. Either way, my reaction was "no... just no." and i've never willingly picked that ending since then.

Meh, I just thought "Peace forever" after doing it, so that's good 'nough for me.

Yep. It amazes me how many people just can't even begin to wrap their minds around the exoself concept, or that we can change for the better. We don't always have to be arrogant, hateful creatures, all fighting for the alpha position, to bang the best mates, and urinate over everyone below -- which is basically what Destroy strikes me as, to be honest, since there's just no good reason to kill so many within that narrative.

I guess there's just some of us who believe we can be better, and some of us who'll strive for a new dark ages. I'm always reminded of the Templars from Deus Ex when I read threads like this -- a sort of pure, innocent ludditism that sees anything more advanced than yesterday's technology as an abomination, having no idea that Synthesis is where we're headed, anyway. Well... they'll have to wake up sooner or later.

Still, we'll get to a point where medical science will ensure greater intellect, more emotional maturity, less insecurity, and a more sound mind in general. We humans love fads, and when such upgrades are on offer, everyone's going to hop on board. So... I kind of see the Templar mindset as obsolete, something that's dying out. It's kind of pitiable, really. I mean, why isn't peace a desirable thing? Sigh.

I fail to see how synthesis improves us.  What do you have to support your theory?

Very nice necro by the way.

Control was epic as well. You spend years batteling the reapers... only to become one.

your observation is correct, but there is a massive flaw in your thinking on this. i mean, look at the details. those kind of dictate the picture in the first place.
 
you wouldnt have hated the reapers if not for the specifics of their existence, not just their existing in the first place.

sheperd doesn't become a reaper in the original sense, those which followed a very unforgiving protocol.

sheperd simply becomes a reaper in the literal sense, but that in itself should not bear stigma. sheperd is in control. sheperd has the authority and power to give them a new name.
  Anyone who has not known of them before, when learning about them for the first time, may think of them much differently then you think now.

look at the quarians and the geth for context. specifically Tali and Legion. they don't have to be a special case, obviously.

the game already hammers this into our heads, the entire trilogy. your actons speak for you. words are nothing. names are nothing.

Er, no. Shepard dies. His memories are used to create a new Catalyst.

Game Over.
