      And the funny smirk he gets when he says it. I love javik. What's so cool I think is that having him in you're party regularly gives you at times insight into what his time was like. As you play he says certain things that gives you a little insight. I just think that was an interesting thought they put into the character the little tid bits.

    Very nice breakdown of the Mass Effect story. You did miss one thing that is vitally important about the Reapers. By giving us (organic life) the Mass Relays it enabled them to control our path technologically. This ensures they know how to counter any defensive measures a species may try against them....

    I wonder if they'll be a decision to explore a Mass Effect spin-off during the Prothean cycle, fleshing out the possibilities we've learnt so far to be fleshed out and give us further insight to the races of that cycle? Or if they leave it as it is; thinking that would defeat the purpose of the cycle of extinction leaving so little evidence behind that it'd weaken the mysteries of the galaxy? Either way, the Prothean empire sounds interesting in how it evolved and died.

  • @minimalbstolerance8113
    @minimalbstolerance8113 Před rokem +3

    I always thought that the Protheans were loosely based on the Eldar from Warhammer 40k. A toweringly arrogant ancient race forced into an alliance of convenience with "primitives" due to their near extinction. The way Javik describes himself as the Avatar of Vengeance makes the title sound very similar to a Phoenix Lord, or at the very least an Exarch.
    Also, I'm pretty sure that there were at least a few 40k fans at Bioware while they were making the Mass Effect series, given that the Krogan have a gas giant in their system called Vaul, and there's literally a system called "Dakka."

    The Protheans looked more alien in their ME1 statues. Must of changed design between games.

    • @hirasuki21
      @hirasuki21 Před 3 lety +18

      Sentiments differ.
      Some say, the statues were originally meant to represent protheans. This is evident from comparing Shepard's prothean visions from ME1 and ME2. In ME2 version there is collector pasted in the vision.
      As the final design for the protheans went on, the statues on Ilos are now known as the former race Inusannon.
      Other ppl say, they were never meant to represent protheans, which I personally doubt. But the lore went on to state them as Inusannon.
      According to ME Wiki:
      "In Mass Effect 3, the Prothean Javik reveals that Ilos was once inhabited by the extinct Inusannon before the Protheans discovered the world and colonized it themselves." Meaning they discovered their statues.

      There’d be loads such as Bloodborne for example because it’s very lovecraftian. Although not to be that guy but the protheans turned out to be pretty normal if not over glorified because aside from being slave masters they just got lucky and happened to build on empire on the ruins of other civilisations before them. The Reapers or the ones who made them are probably more of the trope you’re looking for.

    Spoiler disclaimer would be appreciated (for the new fans), but definitely looking forward to more. Would love to see a review of the soundtrack to all three. I saw a collection of vinyl once, all multicolored to differentiate each record to each game. Quite exquisite package. 👀

    I've never understood the reaper logic, your goal is to preserve life so they wipe out all sentient advanced life. That violates their whole purpose

    In ME 1 and 2 I had such a different perception on my mind of what the protheans would be, culture-wise. They ended up being total jerks. Well done Bioware.

    Didn't the Prothean war against the Reapers last centuries? That's hardly swift. The events of ME3 take place over a few months and the Asari, Turean, etc all seem to be getting their collective butts kicked worse than the Protheans in that time frame.

    No. It’s not the rigid structure of Protheans. I believe it’s because the Alliance defeated Sovereign.

      That’s a high standard. Though so much is owed to Star Trek in Mass Effect, it cannot be denied.

    They're the best. They are welcomed home. It's global news that they won't make public. That's why they don't like you. (You) in particular.

    Sorry but the Protheans retook the Citadel, moved it and discovered the Crucible plans from a species called the Rackfili.
    Citation please because that's isn't anywhere in the lore.
