Who is the 'Benefactor? could it be the Illusive Man Because Cerberus Already know the reaper were coming ?
Who murdered Jien Garson, and why?
What happened to the quarian ark? could be a DLC ! Some are saying that the Reapers have followed the quarians to Andromeda or they got on board ?
Did all The Reapers were destroyed in mass effect 3 ? Where they came from ?
Is Cerberus Are they really gone ? we found 2 Cerberus members in the game Mission Called Mind Games ! Could more of them be around ?
Will Ryder tell the truth about the Andromeda Initiative and the reapers ?
will they ever find out what the fate of the Milky Way

who were the Jardaan , and how to get rid of the Scourge I'm betting good money that whatever caused the Jardaan to trigger the Scourge is the galactic threat in Andromeda.

I understood it as the scourge was a weapon used against the Jardaan, not one they deployed themselves. Which is why you hear her trying to get Meridian to safety just incase the weapon is used against them. She knew it would destroy everything.
Mind you.. it was like 4am after 3 days straight of playing. I could be remembering wrong. Things I want followed up on.. in DLC or a new game.. -Scourge (because the area is still stuffed until its gone) -The other Ark -The Benefactor -The end to Alec's memories (in a DLC since its a small thing) -Khett home

Plot twist: the Scourge is the lingering after effects on the universe of firing the Crucible and letting off so much dark energy. The Milky Way is now entirely overrun by it, and it's beginning to reach Andromeda.

The Milky Way is now entirely overrun by it, and it's beginning to reach Andromeda. It won't happen...but that would be really cool if fleshed out a bit. It also would be OK with 3/4 of the ME3 endings, the outlier being refusal.

I think the Jardaan are the Halo Forerunners of Mass Effect. The ancient Angarans were faced with extinction so they created the Remnant and the Vault network to re-create their civilization after some unknown disaster (presumably not the scourge or kett) had passed.
But for whatever reason their second incarnation doesn't understand their own technology and has gone backwards and so they were hopelessly unprepared for the kett invasion because they were a shadow of what they once were. The present day Angaran Jardaan are more like the present day humans in the Halo universe.

("Who is the Benefactor" was the oft-repeated season trailer tagline for one of the worst seasons of the already bad show Teen Wolf which I watched with my little sister for a reason I can't even really retrace right now. I have terrible flashbacks every time it comes up in ME:A now.)
Anyway, I think the Benefactor sounds like a DLC villain. The Jardaan and Kett masters are the stronger sequel bait. However, if these story-lines could be combined, that would be interesting. Perhaps the Benefactor somehow managed communication with the Kett and agreed to bring some tasty new species to exalt into their reach for some kind of personal gain? Well, that's far-fetched, but it would be kind of neat.
We also know that TIM had figured out cloning, thanks to that Comedy Hour ME3 DLC (the name eludes me right now). Maybe he managed to put down a version of himself on that ship?

It's hinted heavily that TIM is the benefactor.
Besides, Jien died in circumstances that would fit Cerberus methods.

lol ofc it's Cerberus, it's so obvious. TIM has literally infinite money and resources to do literally everything in the universe at the same time. He can wage a 3 front galactic war, build massive armada's of ships, in secret somehow, for said war, can spend a bajillion money and break every rule of science bringing shepard back from the dead, and rebuilding the most expensive warship in Alliance history, bigger and better ofc. They always have a massive army of employees, somehow, despite them constantly dying, either from their literally endless string of failures or Cerberus just killing them themselves, yet somehow they always get more donations from "people". He has a gigantic army on the side, just for the purposes of occupying Omega, all while still being able to invade the Citadel with thousands of soldiers, somehow, in the middle of a war. With all that being said, ofc he also had the means of funding the most expensive project in galactic history (with the possible exception of the Magic McGuffen, aka The Crucible). I mean it only makes sense, Mac Walters hard on for Cerberus has absolutely no bounds, and gives zero fucks about how much sense Cerberus makes.

It probably wasn't Cerberus. C'mon people! Humanity first... Why give the other species Arks? Why not just make it a human only endeavour?
It wasn't TIM or anyone else in Cerberus.
Not only that, TIM was adamant that he could control the Reapers. Why divert resources? Why wouldn't he leave too if he felt the need to find the Initiative?
It being Cerberus doesn't make sense.

Even though I'm literally never going to tell you what those possibilities are, or try in any way possible to convince you my idea is intelligent, instead I'll just have the exact same circular, illogical screaming match with you 3 different times.

We probably will but BioWare probably wanted to see if players liked the breadcrumbs first before they figure out what they wanted to say with it. If players hate it, which I do if it means more Cerberus story-crap, they're probably gonna cut their losses and move on not detailing that part further.

It being Cerberus doesn't make sense.Nothing about Cerberus ever made sense, let's just be honest with ourselves. From ME1, nothing about them shouldn't make sense, and in ME2 they twisted them around and as contrived as this change seemed to anyone who did all Cerberus related quests in ME1 I could still believe that Cerberus was big enough to have multiple cells and a somewhat divisive staff overall the higher up the ladder you'd climb. It was at ME3 when they turned them into something else once again that I said "ok, just stop now" and then Mac Walters trying to shoehorn them into everything from James talking about the Collectors being in allignment with a Cerberus spy during ME2 to the Foundation comics trying to tell me that Cerberus had a hand in Fist and the Shadow Broker plot, Kaidan and BaAT, Eden Prime etc and now the whole premise of Andromeda. Just fucking leave already Mac. You're through ruining this IP.

I would bet every dollar I got on mac pulling more Cerberus BS out of his ass. I'm so fucking done with Cerberus. If somehow the Benefactor actually isn't Cerberus, I will actually be legit stunned, and give Bioware props for not leaning on the stupidly obvious. Ofc that also means they'll have to justify this not Cerberus person knowing about the Reapers.

I can only hope this is true, I know personally my heart filled with Dread when i first learned Cora's last name was Harper, of all things. Also, it's hard for me to imagine someone who isn't Cerberus who murders the leader of the entire Initiative in cold blood like they were just a faceless urchin. Considering she didn't even seem to know anything, besides "The benefactor exists". And if that's really all it takes to warrant such an outcome? I have to seriously question this strange persons agenda.
