Wait, Mac expressed that for the movie?

That's... that's surprising from him.

-->For your additional consideration: "While people had issues with the ending, many people have understood [...] where we were trying to go with that."

Faint praise indeed.

The only mass effect comic that is worth reading that has a lot of emotional value is Marauder Shields.

And it's fan made.

Nice condescension, Mac. I KNOW exactly what you were going for. Or Casey, or whoever wrote that drivel. I know what you were trying to do, it just failed so hilariously and miserably that words don't do its utter failure in every possible respect justice.

Well she looks like she could be interesting.

Looks like the comic is going in a more gritty direction. Blades instead of omni-weapons, bars across the window rather then some force-field type effect.

she's fighting Shredder. (Before his days of toying with teenage turtles)


Noticeably absent are Bebop and Rocksteady.

ah I didn't notice that. Well, she just earned some brownie points in my book. Though, the turtles were naked when they fought him. I really wouldn't mind seeing her 1-up them.

Agree very much with Mac's sentiment against using Shep in comic medium. As he says people infer so much into their Shep that using a default Shep wouldn't work for most, as it wouldn't feel true to their Shep. As OPsays it is equally true of movie but i doubt that will stop them unfortunately.

-Mac discusses the ending to ME3 somewhat.  In particular, he mentions time constraints, which one can infer is an excuse that may add fuel to the anti-EA fire.  

Obvious rushed ending is obvious.

Mac Walters said in the interview (when he was asked about the mixed reaction that the game received among the fans): "Even when you look back on it now, like you said, to take time and look back over the year, the game is still rated at a 93 on Metacritic".

Honestly, I wouldn't even care about Metacritic. If its below average and the fans say its awesome, then I would always stay with the fans... no matter the score. 

I'd be concerned if the fans actually hated the ending (and the game per se) even if the Meta score was at 100.

So all in all, he says: "LOL, my game was great because every single video game critic-site said it was awesome, just look at Metacritic! I don't care about what the fans think about my ending OR the game, its "art". So, I did what I had to do, I'll still write for ME, and I don't care about what the fans think. That's why the EC is for... to clarify. Metacritic FTW."

DAT ego.

(BTW, I'm not a Mac-hater, I actually like some of his work... but this time, he went full-retard)

Hey, the endings didn't feel true to my Shep either, that didn't stop them

Yeah, I went there

The draw of the original game, for me, was the brand new vision of the future, where humanity is a discriminated minority struggling for acceptance among all of these other races. If they do make a Mass Effect movie, I hope they focus on that more the Commander Shepard.

I know I know, the "brand new vision" was a little cliched but I still liked it.

The Citadel DLC ties in with Foundation?

Y'know, the blade gauntlet guy's clothes do seem to share the armor colors of Citadel's enemies... maybe the protagonist's trying to fight the group as well?

And Crash, not all melee weapons in ME are omni-tool generated. If I'm correct, one of the covers of Issue 4 of Invasion had Petrovsky holding a knife.

Yay, another lame ME comic once more.

And wolverine claws? Gee, just what Mass Effect needed after Kai Leng.

[dreamgazer]

So, after Walters wrote an ending to Mass Effect that was heavily "inspired" by Asimov's work, at the very least, he's now writing his own "Foundation series"? That's ... amusing.

Mac did not express that for the movie; he expressed that for a hypothetical Shepard comic.  However, even though he was talking about a comic, his same reasoning can be applied to a potential ME movie that focuses on Shepard.

Yeah.... Mac Walters was originally a character writer (and a pretty good one at that) wasn't he? He should stick to what he does best and leave writing plots to people who know how it's done...

The only mass effect comic that is worth reading that has a lot of emotional value is Marauder Shields.

And it's fan made.

Arguably the best Mass Effect comic ever made. And it's fan made. That's got to hurt...
