One thing I really hope that BioWare and all other game developers will avoid in all future titles is the (seemingly) current trend to have the villain being motivated solely by daddy issues. Films like the most recent James Bond film SPECTRE or even Netflix's Luke Cage where the main antagonist creates a massive criminal empire solely out of resentment at not being the favorite son, or not being hugged enough as a child. Such motivations are really weak (IMO) and undermine any sort of criminal genius that the narrative could possibly try and showcase since everything is based on a ridiculously petty foundation. |

The thing is that they didn't even need any major support because a couple of them was enough to destroy most dangerous species in the galaxy. So I honestly doubt that this is a good example of non-snowflake humans. I would say that their victory over the Dredge was less about being special snowflakes and more about making a gamble with a superweapon as an act of desperation and hoping that the energy beings would be enough to fuel it's activation. The fact that the entire Dredge species decided to make their home on a single ship was more of a plot contrivance than anything. Even then, there wasn't anything special snowflake-y about the win, just blind luck. Humans were no better off at the conclusion to that film than when they still had Earth. They weren't innately superior to all the other aliens just by existing, nor were they suddenly in a position of power over all the other beings in the galaxy. i really liked Titan A.E. way: humans where just a race between many, their story is their own, and don't affect the entire Galaxy, it is just the story of the humans finding/making a new home and survivng their enemies, without becaming this respected race among all the races, that is suddently at the head of all the races. They are just one of many. In a way, the Titan A.E. humans remind me a lot of the Quarian. |
