Sorry mate, wrong kill phrase.
Well, I just assumed he was Gunther since he also wanted a head cannon. If Dantriges never posts again after reading this, we'll know for sure. ![]()

So what part of control is not understood? If Shepard controls the reapers then that means they follow his orders. otherwise that ending would be renamed to "Shepard tries to tell the reapers what to do and they ignore him" ending.
Wasn't it already established that the Illusive Man was trying to see if he could control the Reapers, and in the end it said "we already controlled him"?
Shepard himself states "even if you could control them, they wouldn't let you". While TIM is pushing the idea, Anderson states "listen to yourself, you're indoctrinated". Shepard, Anderson, and TIM were debating whether to control or destroy the Reapers in that scene.
TIM: I've dedicated my life to understanding the Reapers, and I know with certainty the Crucible will allow me to control them.
Shepard: And then what?
TIM: Look at the power they wield! Look at what they can do!
*assuming direct control*
[Shepard shoots Anderson]
So if I try to do that...assuming direct control by the Reapers. Yeah. That's what the scene told me.

Who said i want it for my head. i want it for the head of my new car based on a geth colossus chassis. So if some jerk on the road behaves like eh well a jerk, I can just blow him away. ![]()

I'm pretty sure the idea behind Control is that TIM couldn't do it because he wasn't all there in the head, since he was indoctrinated. Shepard wasn't, so they can.
If I were Shepard, I'd proceed to troll Harbinger to eternity, assuming direct control of his ass every chance I get and send him to clean up galactic toilets. That's even better then driving them into stars.

What I don't like about that is Anderson is shot for no reason. TIM already proved his point by controlling both Anderson and Shepard. Shooting Anderson was overkill. It was just another way to kill off a character.
The scene would play out the same if TIM had a pistol the whole time and Anderson never went up the beam.

Perhaps, but the last conversation between Shepard and Anderson is about the only good bit of the whole thing.

For me its not. I'm not a fan of Anderson.

If Anderson was really shot why isn't there any blood on his clothes?
I think it was more of a symbolic thing going on there.
Small bullet and medigel closing the wound? They use relly tiny ammo in the ME universe
Well, this thread is called "The stupidest reason to hate the ending", right? I have one.
First time I played ME3, I had, for lacking of best word, uneasiness when dealing with Catalyst.
I had a feeling that I'm taking a part in some wacky social experiment. You know, when you get a test with a bunch of questions and such.
Or opinion poll. Or something like that. And with many other questions you suddenly got one, like - "What do you think about genocide? Can you do it?"
So far I think that during questioning almost everyone will answer something like "It's atrocious" or "It's a crime" - but in game... In game all is different. And many of us did choose such option as "Destroy" - because it's a game! And other options are not much better if better at all. And with such things as achievements, I don't think that it is hard to make hidden one, which send your final choice to those who interested.
So far it is my (or my paranoia) reason to hate the ending.
stupidest reason
Conrad Verner didn't have a flashback. Why couldn't my number one fan have a flashback? I hate the ending
Why couldn't space hamster have a flashback? The little guy was with me when I went through the omega 4 relay. I hate the ending.
Why wasn't there a flashback for TIM? I like the guy. Need another character like him in Andromeda. I hate the ending
What about Harbinger? Yes he's a reaper, but I like him. He deserved a flashback. I hate the ending
Why wasn't Dr.Chakwas in the memorial scene? I drank with her in ME2/3. I hate the ending
That's a lot of hating. Solution. Rewrite ME3 or my personal favorite, rewrite the trilogy. hahaha
stupidest reason
Conrad Verner didn't have a flashback. Why couldn't my number one fan have a flashback? I hate the ending
Because in the REAL ending, Conrad is there in the flesh:

The ending controversy was some kind of experiment. Bioware was pulling all the strings and we were the test subjects.
Sure, ME is postmodern (http://tvtropes.org/...n/PostModernism). True art is incomprehensible (http://tvtropes.org/...ncomprehensible). The incomprehensible is necessarily true art, not because it is true, but because it is not. It is a Gainax Ending (http://tvtropes.org/...in/GainaxEnding).
Now we know how few comprehend that, and who that is.
For owners of the Platinum edition, this statement will unlock the "incomprehender" achievement, I'm only telling you because it is inconsequential.
Oh hell. Look i honestly can not stand people that stuck with Control and synthesis endings. I don't care if they thought it was just in their eyes. If you think controlling the dead that should have been put to rest, the colonist troops that became Cerberus army, to the husk Reaper forces that are slaves to idiotic AI Shepard, to the millions of organics in just one Reaper, to the collectors still alive......you can HEAD CANON all you want about rebuilding the sending them into the sun but the FACT is Shepard uses the Reapers to his/her own desire. we HAVE no control over Shepard anymore thus our head canon is INVALID. Shepard is free to choose what he/she does thus that means in both Paragon and Renegade endings in control Shepard uses them for either "PEACE" or " Military Police"
Then synthesis....... Rather pick Refuse over this ending if there was only Synthesis and Refuse. I mean come on how much bs can you get from that ending. We are all friends forever! B.S. Oh no Javik why are you not shown going all Rambo on the Reapers? Why isn't Hackett and the galaxy not rebelling like they SHOULD be doing. " Oh no they forgave the Reapers!" WHY THE HELL IS EDI. THE ONE WHO TOLD US THE REAPERS ARE REPULSIVE/ RATHER DIE than work with the Reapers ; IS WORKING with the Reapers?!!!!
Oh yes there it comes 'Well if you don't like that endings bs lines" It is an INSULT to everything you have DONE in ME. Oh yes here is the argument "We are task to stop the Reapers and that means anything goes" NO we are task to stop the Reapers by KILLING them all! They have taken lives of so many, synthetics and organics being used as pawns for the Reapers and NO matter WHAT the catalyst says about "My logic is right and yours is flawed since you are an organic" This is coming from an AI who basically rebelled against his creators out of his excuse to solve a problem by creating synthetics in the form of his creators, and tear apart any chances of organics and synthetics working together since we are not perfect and conflict is bound to happen. Only to be the problem it is 'TRYING" to fix? I am starting to see something wrong here but you know "Catalyst has a point argument line with fire"
Yes fire burns but is it ALIVE???? Nooooooo. IS however,the catalyst alive, has voice, commands an army and is having acts of genocide like it is nothing more than doing what is was meant to do yet clearly his own forces have independent views/ treats organics? Also "Created to do...." It does realize that Fire has MANY ways to start up and is dependent upon the user or force that CREATES the fire" IT can bring warmth, happiness, or death and destruction so i don't think the catalyst is using the HAPPY kind fire but more of the " DEATH"
Honestly those two endings really make me mad that they were even considered to BE an ENDING. Destroy on the other hand i loved it up until the breath scene. YES i expected people to DIE. I EXPECTED friends dying along the way. I EXPECTED to kill the Reapers no MATTER the cost. Synthetics just had to be them. I know the players that supported the Geth and love EDI fought long and hard just to give them a chance for the galaxy ( That being me too). Yet everyone was in this to end the Reapers. Loses were bound to happen and honestly whether it was organics and synthetics that had to go then so be it. Doesn't matter the bonds of friendship and all the good times you all had. This is for survival no SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS like synthesis or I'm an idiotic leader for trying to control something that can't be controlled by an hybrid organic that should have died in the Destroy ending yet clearly doesn't since you know BECAUSE HE IS SHEPARD!
Back to my point though is anybody or race could have been the targets of the wave and still i wouldn't hesitate. Sometimes the most moral choices are often things we have to swallow. This isn't a war for freedom, for greed or anything of that. It is kill or be killed. However what does ****** me off and many others is the breath scene. ALL of the hours, dlc, and playthroughs of fighting the Reapers and for WHAT! Rubble, Smoke and hey a Shepard that MAY or NOT be dying! since Casey said " Could be taking his/her last breath" It is like they didn't give a care anymore about Shepard at all. " head canon it all fans" YOu can NOT HEAD CANON any endings EXCEPT REFUSE!
Synthesis and control have CLEAR motives in WHAT they SHALL be DOING. Destroy has the BUT Breath scene just makes it IMPOSSIBLE for Shepard to live. He/she is on the Citadel if you take everything literal. There is NO help. Fleet is GONE, Normandy is far away, NOBODY KNOWS WHERE SHEPARD IS AT, Technology is affected, Shepard's synthetic implants are probably offline and thus he/she can't move since half of his/her bones have synthetic attachments! So yeah Shepard got screwed over badly and it feels a slap to the face to the fans that spent almost seven years on ME1-3..
And that is just that last 10 minutes. If you go back to the Normandy pick up scene and see ALL your squadmates back on the Normandy.....are you kidding me.....they were ALL down on Earth. BUT NOW they are back on the Normandy all because you didn't pick them!.........................
