Perfect LOTR analogy of Mass Effect 3 ending.

"At the end of the trilogy Frodo marches into Mount Doom to do what he came to do. But once inside he meets the Spirit of the Ring, whom we never knew existed at all and had no clue of. The Spirit of the Ring reveals that he is the one who controls the Orcs and Sauron, and that they are his solution. The Spirit looks like a human child, and his mere presence instantly reduces the menace of Mordor by a factor thousand. Frodo is a bit baffled, so he asks what they are a solution for. And the Spirit says: "Marauding armies. Left unchecked, small farmland villages eventually grow to become superpowers that field world destroying armies and destroy all life forever. That is why Sauron and the Orcs exist: to ensure that never happens." You as the audience question this logic. The first thing you'd notice would be that the Spirit employs circular reasoning: it is ridiculous to create a marauding army that destroys life in order to prevent the (unproven and rather stupid sounding) problem of farmland villages eventually growing to become superpowers that destroy life with marauding armies. It gets worse when the Spirit shoulders the blame on particularly Rohan, when the soldiers of Rohan are part of the final battle at the Black Gate which is waging as they speak. But Frodo never questions this. He just goes "oh, right. So, what now?" Then the Spirit tells him that Frodo has three options, which are all activated from conventiently placed and multicolored geysers of lava. The leftmost is blue, and if Frodo puts on the ring and jumps in there he becomes the Spirit of the Ring, sacrificing his current life but taking control of Sauron and the Orcs. Frodo listens to the Spirit explain this, and afterwards concludes: "So Gollum was right after all." Then center one is green. The Spirit explains that if Frodo puts on the ring and jumps into that geyser, all life will be merged to become an Orc-Hobbit hybrid race, that never goes to war again because they are now all the same species. Frodo doesn't question the truth of this either, while you as the audience sit and wonder what the hell kind of nonsense you're being fed. Wasn't LotR about different nations coming together to defeat a common threat despite their differences? And now suddenly you're being told that one-race politics are the way forward. The right geyser is red, and if Frodo puts on the ring and jumps into there, all Orcs and Sauron die forever, but so do the men of Rohan. Frodo also accepts this without question. Worst of all, in all three choices Frodo dies, and in all three choices the people who were originally part of the Fellowship end up stranded on a remote tropical island with no way to get off it. Even Samwise, who was with Frodo on the final stretch towards Mount Doom. Middle Earth's infrastructure also gets destroyed, which in LotR terms means that all horses and ents and eagles and whatever could provide for faster transportation than walking dies. Frodo never questions the logic of anything while you as audience sit wondering what the hell is going on. The entire trilogy painted him as an exceptionally strongwilled figure that persevered even when the going got extremely tough. He never relented and never gave up, yet completely out of character he now accepts literally everything he's being told. Frodo makes his choice, we watch a ball of blue, red or green magic erupt from the top of Barad dur, and stuff happens. We see the Fellowship get stranded, we see a topdown view of middle earth as horses all around the continent die, while a strangely tranquil music plays that is supposed to make us feel good about the whole ordeal. Then the credits roll, and after the credits there's a message on the screen telling us that Frodo has become a legend by ending the Mordor threat, and that we can now continue his journey by buying LotR related products."

LOL its a great read but seriously though, its already way overblown/overtalked and so forth. We all get it, the ending sucked.

Hah, loved that pic:lol:
