Some people may refute my claims that Destroy may be the canon ending that will lead into the next trilogy, that is, if the next trilogy will be a sequel trilogy, but keep this in mind: In Mass Effect 2, Shepard can permanently die during or after the suicide mission even though BioWare clearly told us back when ME2 was recently released that the Mass Effect trilogy is Shepard's story only, which means Shepard won't be replaced by a different protagonist in ME3 if Shepard dies in the suicide mission. My point is there's always a canon ending, it's just that it will be our choice to follow it or not. Here's why I think Destroy is the canon end.


Difficult choices, a grim lesson most paragon players try to ignore. Ever since ME2, characters like Illusive Man, the turian prison warden of Purgatory (Not the dance club in ME3, the prison station where you meet Jack in ME2) and Gavin Archer from the DLC Overlord always argue that the sometimes you have to make a choice  that looks unethical to save billions of lives, that getting cold feet to sacrifice a few lives for the greater good is a very dangerous thing to do, as many more lives you swore to protect will die because of your hesitation.  Even in the Paragon Lost movie, James Vega learns this the hard way. I won't give out any spoilers, though. In one part of ME3 when Vega visits Shepard in his/her cabin, Shepard (paragon dialogue) tells Vega that sometimes the right choice is not always the easy one to choose, and that there has never been a single soldier who didn't have to make some kind of sacrifice. War is an ugly thing, not everyone can be saved in a war, so don't expect to make a choice that appeals to your morality. Also, in Anderson's apartment in the Citadel DLC, when listening to an interview on the television, Anderson tells the woman who is interviewing him that "a good soldier values the lives of his men more than the mission (paragon), but also understands that sometimes the cost of failing the mission is higher than the cost of losing those men". In short, betraying the mission to keep your entire crew alive can be the wrong thing to do. Some people choose Control or Synthesis to save the geth and EDI, sometimes despite their better judgement. I almost did the same thing too the first time I played ME3.

When I first played ME3 and got to the part where I had to make a choice, before the Extended Cut was released, I almost didn't want to destroy the Reapers when I learned that destroying them will destroy the geth and EDI (My Shepard is 70% paragon, 30% renegade). Learning that nearly crushed my desire to destroy my enemies. I made peace with the geth and quarians, I encouraged a romantic relationship between Joker and EDI, I didn't want to destroy the fruits of my labor with my enemies! I also didn't want to control my enemy or install some strange DNA in everyone, but I considered doing it though. I ended up listening to my instincts instead of my feelings, and my instincts told me that despite the heavy consequences, destroying the Reapers is the way to go. Everytime I play ME3, I choose Destroy. Not once have I chosen Control or Synthesis.  I used to have doubts about my choice back then, like Vega did about choosing the intel of the Collectors over the colonists, but now, today, I have no doubts anymore. Some people may support Control or Synthesis more, but I'm not going to argue against them, that's their choice, they let their fear of sacrificing some of their comrades to save many more compromise the mission and choose the solutions the Catalyst and Reapers want you to choose or refusing those choices when there's no other way to stop them, letting the harvest continue.

Regardless of the fact that destroying the Reapers also destroys all synthetic life, including the geth and EDI, it is still the right choice, it is the goal that you, your allies and anyone else who has not been indoctrinated is striving for. Everyone, including EDI would give thier lives for a galaxy free from the Reapers's control. Those who are indoctrinated try to convince you that without the Reapers help in ushering a utopia for both organics and machines, or being dominated by you to have them do what you see fit, organic life won't survive, and if there will be another organic vs synthetic conflict, organic life will be helpless without the Reapers in stopping the conflict, which is total crap. We can come up with our own solution! I made peace with the geth and quarians! That's a fine example there!
