People please, no need to obsess over Bioware's lack of knowledge of warfare. If they knew everything about war and every outcome to every situation. They would have done the smart thing of taking over EA long ago Salarian style
Jokes aside, no matter what the original plans/concepts for the reapers in Mass Effect 3 was, I don't think we were ever meant to stand a chance of winning conventionally. ME 1 and 2 was not only about preventing/preparing for the return of the Reapers. It was about Hope and having faith in that when the times comes, we will win. ME 3 however, is about holding on to that hope.
I think the reason why some people want the conventional win so badly is because that Shepard is forced to put his faith and hopes into the Crucible, and are repeatedly told, that this is the ONLY hope. I think that is what truly upsets people. That this is the only way, were as the other games have taught us that there is always another way. ME 3 breaks this illusion. (And I say illusion because that Bioware seems very clear on the fact that this cannot be won conventionally.)
That said, not the biggest fan of the endings, but the crucible is certainly not one of my reasons. Take out the catalyst complete and insert whatever of the endings that you prefer most (Didn't say like). And the endings is actually quite satisfying for me with the EC.
Btw. As for Space Magic, I'm pretty sure that's the same arguemnt people used in the Middle Ages for things they coulnd't explain. I'm no scientist, but I'm sure that a more reasonable explanation could be found for why a wave of light have different effects. Sound silly, but doen't mean impossible.
