Anyone else prefer the Original Cut to the EC?

Nice that I get explained why Kaidan is still alive and not cooked by the reaper beam. Nice to know why Joker flew away as well, but for the rest I just felt like taken at a hand like a child.. "come now, you're too inexperienced to think for yourself, I'll show you how things are".. I prefered the vague, mysterious ending.
And then those "Harmony-Baby-Krogan"- Images OMG !!! Like Jehovas Whitnesses flyers (No offense).. my Shep always saw the Krogan as a major threat to the galaxy, and now.. that ?!? (Still convinced the Salarian Councilor was right..)
What happened to the good Bioware endings like Dragon Age 1, where the Dwarfes isolated themselves after you made the seemingly right choice to make Harrowmont King...?

Point being they were always intended to be this way, whereas the EC epilogues are tacked on and take the most obvious route because.. well, what else is there? What do you want, a twist where Wreav is actually the better leader than Wrex? That'd make no sense.

One thing that is a possible flaw, if not in the writing but the catalyst's judgement was the current state of synthetics versus organics if you brokered peace between the quarians and the geth. However, you could take that as verification that the reapers purpose is no longer true, but I digress

Not this nonsense again.
People who can think for themselves are the ones who have the most trouble with the ending. And you admit yourself that it was vague (but it wasn't mysterious) so there was no thinking involved, only guessing - dare I say it, speculation? The point of a story is to tell a story, not tell some of it and leave the reader to make up the rest himself. If I wanted to do that I'd write my own. Leave the guessing for "what happened next" rather than for tying up the loose ends.

Dont download the EC, you can have the ending as it was.
Origin downloads it as update, no selection here.

1. Refuse gets you the all out Reaper win (ok I can respect that you for sure know you lost)
2. No full out Victory fleet win (ok that's kinda understandable most people would probably pick it cause it would be a complete story)
3. No reunite scene/ you have to head cannon....a bit lame not even a small reunite scene. if this is indeed the end of my Shep story I don't want hints or head cannon give the full story.
Now all that being said I was not a fan of the Pre EC either but I was looking forward to seeing BW add scenes to Destroy ending and when they gave a sorta ending (and don't get me started on EC with ME2 LI's) that was disappointing

This. Game was incomplete without the EC. Now we can just **** about the terrible artistic vision of the ending.

I'd rather a rusty knife in the eye than the original endings

EC is average minus. Nothing more then polishing the original ending ,pouring over it litres of high sucrose corn syrup and taking out few especially ugly-looking bits.
But even this is better then the original steaming pile.

The original cut was atrocious, the EC is... less atrocious. Would this have been the original ending, there wouldn't have been such an uproar. It still wouldn't have been good, because so much else is amiss, but at least the endings they gave us are now somewhat complete.
Though the only one consistent with the story and themes of ME is the new "refusal" ending, when you refuse all options or shoot the Catalyst.
