The fact the Protheans were viewed as deities disturbs me when I look at future generations and our ability to explore space like riding around the world in a plane one day. It'll take too long to explain but suffice to say, they violated a rule of observation.

Man what I would do to be able replay this game series fresh an relearn the whole universe again

Fantastic content and video! Also shoutout to the meowing cat at 10:06 and various other spots. Can’t wait for the next part

As always, great stuff!

Welcome viewers! You can expect future projects and clips from my channel. The rest of my series on the Prothean Cycle will come out next year, and will cover this species' downfall and legacy. Feel free to like and subscribe if you enjoy these videos! Also, feel free to like and subscribe if you don't.

These lore deep dives are excellent. The universe of Mass Effect is so rich and detailed. Thanks for putting these together!

Calling the Vent God highly relatable is incredibly funny to me

My favorite planets in Mass Effect are Ploba and Preying Mouth, Ploba for the mysterious structure and Preying Mouth cause it looks cool

Why does every youtube video have annoying background music?

How do the Leviathans mind control? Hypnosis on steroids?

Nothing was scarier to HP Lovecraft, than the existence of God...any god really.

When you view the protheans through the lense of the scrapped dark matter ending, their overall attitude comes across as more benevolent. I think they were uplifting the Asari to counter the dark matter problem. Where the reapers sought to make room and resources available for an eventually worthy and powerful enough species to evolve and control dark matter, the protheans sought to do the same but on a scale that makes sense for organic life to conceive, and with more direct intervention.

Always wondered what their plans were for the cut creators of the reapers, the emmshy(idk how to spell their name) seem really cool

Honestly, I might be in the few, but I think the reapers are a good thing. Resetting life and allowing new organic to evolve and start anew? I think absolute power corrupts absolutely so any species that is on top are likely to eventually become corrupted and so to just rid the chance of any one species ascending to a level of godhood doesn’t seem like an entirely bad thing to me…

"You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it." I knew I was going to like Mass Effect when it came out because I already loved KotOR, but it was that first conversation with Sovereign that sealed the deal. I was already in it to win it by the time I got there, but I was alone in a dark room, in the middle of the night, probably high on something or other when that voice began "You are not Saren." I almost shit my pants. That being said, I'm one of the minority in these comments that thinks the reapers should have been left far more mysterious. TBH, I could have done without ME2 entirely, especially story-wise. But they were created by some dorky cuttlefish and were "just doing their jobs?" Really? Remaining unknowable eldritch machines of death would have been way cooler. In fact, making them MORE mysterious with each game would have been the way to go. Just run with the Lovecraft vibes... Anyway, the reapers are still in my top 5 video game villains in my 45+ years of gaming and this was still a fantastic video! "I am the vanguard of your destruction, this conversation is over"

Deception isn't officially non-canon, it's just of poor quality in terms of lore and continuity and that was addressed in way of apology. There is nothing to indicate it isn't canon, and since the franchise operates on an "everything is canon cause we don't say otherwise and why not" basis there's no reason to believe Deception isn't part of it.

Also cool to know that Presop looks exactly like the moon of Dragon Age

I love to get into the details on the fictional worlds i like. Reality sucks way too bad right now.

I always belived that at 30:30 that mass weapon was an older, unfinished version of the crucible that we see in me3.

maybe you talked about them in a different video. but shouldnt the rachni and the thorian be in it? javik talks about the rachni when you bring him to the "missing scouts" mission in me 3.

What boggles my mind is the population number of the ruling species would have to be amazingly high to have a galactic empire in the first place as I'd assume that even after being conquered some races wouldn't just accept their rule. You'd need a massive naval force. Bases, patrols, vehicles, weapons etc etc. If you conquer a world of, let's say, 8 billion. You'd need at least a billion to keep control. And have a high enough presence to make the idea of rebellion a thing of the past.

You did forget one part of why the citadel was the core to the reaper strategy. It decapited the government, gave them mountains of information, but also gave them full control over the mass effect network. They could turn them on and off at will. This pretty much meant any collaboration or ability to work together of the galatic races was eliminated. It's worth mentioning.

1% c is 3 mln meters/s usa cannot into basic education

One thing that's really interesting is let's say it took a million years to build the relays and ect, if the reapers have been around for over a billion years, then there had been over 50k "cycles" before humanity and the united galaxy stopped them

When sovereign talks to shep,you just know they command respect,and they are leviathans creation,imagine if the ai had not turned on their creators

When you think about it, you would have to be unlucky to be born/alive during the harvest. Unless your asari, then 50/1 chance 😅

Wow, I just found this vid after replaying ME 1 again and looking for some lore info. This was great, you did a fantastic job summarizing the important wiki info and made it into a very easily digestible video. The music, script, visuals and everything was on point. Seriously, good job and thanks for the video. 🤘

I disagree about Mordin being so low, mostly because i don't see him going for a firefight. He's a biologist who updated a species wide plague and created an immunity to reaper collector tech in, at most, a few months after having never seen the tech or anything close in his life. He's no powerhouse but that's gotta count for something. ME1 does have a neural shock ability too.

5:03 what mission is this clip from? I don’t remember it at all

the people who worked on these games learned so much about science and physics; its astounding to me. I also find it interesting as hell that past species could have very well been more technologically advanced yet were destroyed by the Reapers all the same; Sheperd was the only piece missing to fight the Reapers. A single driven force, overcoming technological odds and nature alike

Bruh, the monotone, "I am not screwing Garrus." 😂😂😂

Joab being a planet of spacefaring monkey people that were wiped out by a higher power… welcome back Saiyans!

We saw barbarians as warlike and prone to mercenary behaviors.

Great narrative style, it is also very appreciated that you cite your sources for every picture !!

Well that contradicts the Leviathan AI directive. It cannot both “Persevere all life” and forgo reaper construction for races not within certain genetic parameters.

in my cycle we watched youtube videos to gain knowledge!

I SWAER I CAN HEAR YOUR CAT MEOWING

Been waiting for part 2, thanks and keep up the good work mane 🤙🏻

As a 40k fan learning that Erebus means darkness made a couple things click for me.

Can’t wait for video 3! These are great ❤

The one thing I alway's questioned is that could Harbinger have survived or Escaped after leaving Earth, as Harbinger was the most intelligent of all Reaper's so wouldn't it know to get out before it's too late Everytime I played the game trio i alway's wondered it, bcos their isn't anything to show Harbinger was part of the ending, like their was nothing to show Harbinger was still in Sol System when it all happened, could have been long gone after leaving Earth after defeating all of the squad's trying to get to the Citadel If you have a theory about this, would you be able to talk about it

Fantastic video, love how it's framed in an almost real documentary manner, keep it up

I was wondering when you were going to upload this video

I look at it as being "Can you last as long as Garrus in the situation he was in?" If yes your at S or higher
