I've always figured we've just gotta headcanon that Sovereign's shield power was dropping fast enough for him to see that he'd run out of shields before Hackett ran out of ships.

That doesn't make any sense. If Sovereign saw that his shield powers would run out before the alliances ships do, then why does he try to kill Shepard instead of retreating by just racing right through the enemy ships (you know like he did when he entered the citadel.) ?Out of spite? Was he saying: "Damm it that bastard/b*itch ruined my plans. I'll show her/him by killing her/him instead of retreating and trying again later." He just engages in a random boss battle for no reason.

 

As far as ME1 is concerned Sovereign's downfall from the death of Saren hopper is also head-canon, all we know is that the events happened near each other, my theory is just one that explains Sovereign's actions.

 

Uhm... no it isn't. It is exactly what is shown to us in the ingame cutscene. Shepard kills the possessed Saren corpse and in the exact same second Sovereign magically dies or at least is rendered completely defenseless. It was clearly intended by the cutscene to show that Shepard killed Sovereign and saved the universe. Your theory is  a good one, but it is not how the game actually presents the events that happend.

 I figured that if he kills Shepard he can get up to that panel and close the Citadel arms. Then he's just got to kill whatever ships are trapped inside the Citadel with him, which wouldn't be that big a deal. But yeah, this is weapons-grade headcanon.

Sovereign uselessly flopping on his back like a dead spider after his Saren-husk is killed makes zero sense though. If that could happen why would Sovereign even engage in this pointless boss battle with Shepard in the first place. He should just have ignored Shep and continue to open that dammed relay.  Yep Shepard totally won due to villain stupidity there.

 

It's possible (Fanon ahoy! I should probably ban myself from using the words "it's possible". But I'm not going to.) that Sovereign was unaware that assuming direct control of Saren and being defeated would have that effect. Also, opening the relay was taking too long. He needed to kill Shepard so that he could have direct access to Vigil's datafile.

 

 

Another thing I still don't understand. How does killing the Sarren zombie thing disable Sovereign. An ancient massive highly advanced warship that is disabled by shooting one of it's avatars? In Me2, Harbinger takes over a bunch of Collectors that you kill and Harbinger never had a systems crash like that. Lots of little things that just make no sense.

 

It's been speculated (Yup! More fanon.) that Harbinger was protected by using the Collector General as a sort of buffer. He assumes constant control of the Collector General, then the General assumes direct control of the individual thralls.

It's entirely possible that they have DNA backups back in Dark Space. Maybe they just clone and rebuild any Reapers that get destroyed - that's good enough to satisfy the "Don't let species get wiped out" mandate, isn't it?

 

but the goo! the precious goo!
