Soooooo....Let me get this straight.
The ending doesn't make sense.
Why?
Bad Writing?
No there must be a deeper reason Why the ending doesn't make sense. It makes no sense so lets figure out why it doesn't make sense until it make sense...
This is the logic we're going with?
It makes no sense so there must be meaning?
Did you read the codex or anything? Some of the hints are in there.
I have read every single codex page.
Due to a lack of photographic memory however you'll have to point one or two out if you wish to demonstrate what qualifies as a clue.
But furthermore lets just put this up for the test.
You say that everything in the ending makes sense if you're just willing to look for it. Correct?
Then here's one of my biggest tripes with the ending itself.
Synthesis outright breaks all universe law.
In sci-fi stories there are generally Five tiers of civilization.
1-where we are, one plannet, multiple governments.
2- Global, which is to say One government over the whole world technology in this brand of sci-fi is, by and large, Pseudo-science, things that we could feasibly see happening some point within the next 100 years, something like...some of batmans gadgets
3- Colonial where we have the home planet and outlying colonies (Halo fits this niche nicely)
4- Galactic, Star Wars. The level of technology here varies from universe to universe but is generally very advanced but still more or less limited by the basic known laws of physics.
5- Universal- genres that span multiple galaxies. This one is hardly seen because largely, One galaxy is big enough for a story and the level of technology to feasibly control multiple galaxies is nothing shy of pure magic.
Mass Effect would fall under tier 4.
Synthesis falls under tier five.
Synthesis changes every organic being in the galaxy (even plant life) to being a synthetic, organic hybrid.
There are 200-400 billion stars in our galaxy. Lets meet in the middle and say 300 billion.
If even 1/100th of those starts have habitable planets
That is still 3 billion habitable plannets.
Earth, today has more than 7 billion PEOPLE nevermind plant and animal life, PEOPLE.
Lets round it off and put every planet at 10,billion population, plant, animal and sapient. And this is me being NICE because its very likely up in the 20 or 30 billion populous.
3 billion times 10 billion. We don't even have digits that go that high.
And the Crucible, something labeled a POWER source changes each and every single one of these things down to the cellular level, in an EYE-BLINK
Cellular level.
There are TRILLIONS of cells just in you and me alone. Now multiply 3 billion planets, by 10,billion people and multiply THAT by at least 1,trillion cells for every single individual.
Its incalculable. We don't have numbers that go that high.
The logistics of Synthesis, is mind numbing.
To affect everything in the galaxy to this degree with a POWERSOURCE is a complete break of in-universe law.
Furthermore the crucible was created by organic races. Organic races that are less advanced than the reapers. Organic races that were killed by the reapers because they were less advanced than them and thus, could not win.
Reapers do not have the level of technology Synthesis would require.
How in the hell do these dystopian species all conglamarating the crucible together like a jigsaw puzzle mannage to pull this off.
