Is this aimed at something in particular? Like the belief that Synthesis is nothing but Reaper Indoctrination?
Not exactly, but many people simply don't trust Synthesis. They suspect that there is something fundamentally twisted about it, and that it can't possibly be as good as it seems.
The slides are super silly. They indicate in spite of what Synthesis requires you to do and what it means, that people are super happy. Play ME again or just remember what others said about what Synthesis does. Listen to what EDI says about it. Consider the story of the Rachni and Krogan, the genophage, and also consider that there were people in ME that didn't even want implants of any kind.
EDI says people are given knowledge. That's advancement before it is earned and before people are "ready" for it. This caused problems for the Krogan. Tech is fully integrated with organic DNA (ok as described this is magic, plain and simple-how does that happen, galaxy wide and to every organic thing). What tech is fully integrated? Reaper tech? And think about what that means. Even if every being and every organic thing only got a single teeny tiny nanite, that's a lot of tech considering how much organic stuff exists in the galaxy. There are also very likely to be beings that have no knowledge yet of this "war". And unless all the relays are activated (if the relays are used to disperse this tech somehow), those people that exist beyond locked relays will not be synthesized. But, this bears out another inconsistency-the reapers always shut down relays once they enter the galaxy (first thing they supposedly do), but for some reason they don't shut down the relays this time.
Then, synthesis also is explained as giving full understanding of organics to synthetics. Ok, if all organics in the galaxy are altered to be a hybrid, organics no longer exist, so why do this? Beyond that, as it's explained, that is giving synthetics (at least the geth) exactly what they did not want to have given to them. They wanted to learn, to follow many different paths. Synthesis creates a single path for all. All knowledge and understanding from one viewpoint. You can find corollaries that exist now in closed societies and even some more open ones-people learn things along certain paths. But if today Bob was king of the world and able to give everyone full knowledge, it would be knowledge according to Bob. Fallout 3 has a funny kind of example of this with the Republic of Dave. It's not just what that knowledge is and where it comes from that's problematic, but it's also that this idea of supposedly knowing everything would lead to stagnation. It's also the idea of who is giving out the tech (the kid, leviathan, someone else?) and understanding.
Furthermore, in EDI's narration she talks about possibly transcending death itself-which means a new idea of what supposedly everyone wants-immortality. Don't see a problem with people being immortal and still breeding? Ever hear of the Krogan or the Rachni?
The problem is also that synthesis is considered by the kid to be something everyone wants and that leads to perfection as well as the end of evolution. He also thinks it's inevitable. The basis for choosing it is so flawed (the logic for it needing to be a choice is as well as the idea that everyone wants to be perfected by tech and that it's the pinnacle of evolution somehow). Could it happen? Maybe, but not through evolution. Does everyone want it? No. Is it inevitable? No it is not. The whole galaxy could disappear because of some travelling black hole before then. How does the kid (an incredibly flawed "intelligence") come up with all this it's inevitable stuff? According to who? He's a product of the idiotic Leviathans who enthralled idiots that created this idea of inevitable killer synthetics by continually creating killer synthetics. He thinks synthesis is super smart, but he's a moron. He says it can't be forced, but doing something to someone's body without their permission is a definition of force. This is all the basis for choosing it-force something that some moron AI thinks makes sense upon the whole galaxy using some unknown things to do that, with fundamentally flawed understanding of people and what they want. It's substituting the will of one person based upon the explanation of what will happen for the will of an entire galaxy. How can that turn out well?
The slide shows are nothing more than an attempt to show people that the galaxy is not destroyed. They were included because for one thing it was faster and cheaper to show silly slide shows, but along with the narration and cut scenes exist because in the original endings BW destroyed the galaxy. They then claimed they did not mean that to happen and didn't know how fans got that idea. So the epilogs are to show that it didn't. They tried to make everything appear happy and IMO it makes it all appear silly.
