Frankly I'm so sick and tied of the grim dark bullshit that has every hero is fucking loser and/or an unlikable asshole and the villain is more heroic than the hero. FUCK THAT SHIT! That is why DCEU and the Marvel/Netflix show sucks and the MCU and the Arrowverse shows rocks. I played 3 ME games plus all the DLC and frankly had MEA had been another grim dark piece of shit I would have thrown it out the fucking window. The real world is fucking depressing enough as it is I don't need my entertainment to make me suicidal. This is true. However, MEA went too far in the other direction with MEA. Bioware seems to have a really hard time striking a balance nowadays. |

Of course it can also be kick ass and heroic too...still need to rewatch it one of these days. I got season box set, it's a good show (don't know know how canon it is 'cause I never read any of the Green Arrow comics). But personally, I am hoping for a Batman series (a modern one). |

This is true. However, MEA went too far in the other direction with MEA. Bioware seems to have a really hard time striking a balance nowadays. In hindsight, it reminds me a bit about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 in that regard. There are a lot of good moments but more than a few of them are undercut by how quickly the characters bounce back in terms of mood. This also extended to certain happenings which weren't given the time to really settle and be more effective. A very spoilery example from the film: After Ego reveals he was responsible for the death of Peter's mother and Peter has effectively been done in pretty badly emotionally, he immediately quips to Gamorra during his rescue which I found didn't make sense and kind of undercut (?) the scene. It made sense that he'd bounce back into quipping since that's a part of his character but not so soon. It'd have been better if he'd recovered when he reached the cockpit.
Note: GotG Vol. 2 was good, by the way. |

They only worked on Omega, The Citadel was done by the ME3 team as a farewell to the franchise. Also worth noting that Omega was the lowest rated ME3 DLCs. Something to consider.... Montreal= Omega DLC and Andromeda. Edmonton= MET and Citadel DLC Thus this topic is at an end.  |

Word of God is that the Arrowverse is its own canon. Stuff from the comics shows up, but often scrambled or in the wrong order. DC continuity is a mess anyway. They have to reboot everything once a decade or thereabouts. |

Captain America was apparently always a Nazi and was really brainwashed to be the Captain America we know and love. Utter nonsense. |

They have to reboot everything once a decade or thereabouts. Oldin's blood! Can't DC just stick to one continuity! Well in all technicality each continuity is a continuity of that particular universe in the DC multiverse but still all be connected... so yeah -it could get a bit confusing.... Still what is really confusing is when we get all the dimension, slider, Timelord wannabees hopscotching and jump across the multiverse... Bring back the Beyonders and nuke it down to one universe again... Or better yet derail the comics again and bring Galactus over from Marvel and make him eat the multi-verse... -though Batman may give him indigestion  . |

I don't think so, no. Andromeda suffers from multiple issues that can't all be attributed to Citadel.
