Thanks for removing any doubt left in my mind that you are just a troll. Goodbye. I simply don't believe you. Okay, how about a wager? There’s nothing you have that I want.

They could either pick an ending, combine all the endings into 1 cannon one, or just continue with the endings not really addressed (long time passed, mass relays rebuilt, Reapers all gone (either destroyed or controlled or just left), Synthesis wore off). I'd hate that personally and Synthesis can't wear off it's a whole new dna. Plus that scenario just reads as making Destroy canon in a vague way since in the end it gets rid of what Control and Synthesis did.

I only see two ways a MW game can work. One is a prequel and the second is an mmo. The mmo would have the advantage of being able to be placed anywhere in the timeline with minimal issues regarding the ending. They could either pick an ending, combine all the endings into 1 cannon one, or just continue with the endings not really addressed (long time passed, mass relays rebuilt, Reapers all gone (either destroyed or controlled or just left), Synthesis wore off). Synthesis is supposed to be inevitable, so they could just use that ending, and craft the lore history based on player choices at the end of ME3. Synthesis was not well defined in the ending, other than it conferred a new level of understanding, so its pretty open as to what most of its actual effects are - even the green circuit board texture.

True but they could weave it all together like in Deus Ex. Maybe there was some sort of force that reversed it?

Why would that make it the most canon of the endings? Because that way, you can import a save and continue the story. Which is why we had the conversation about the article quoting Mark Gamble how we should hold on to that ME3 save, just a little while before release.

Bioware should just pick Synthesis and make an awakened husk the next protagonist. Would go down in gaming history as the most disturbing horror game ever made, I bet. Bioware totally thought these endings through, lol!

Seriously, imagine being a husk and having memories of your past life. Or one of those Brutes. Or a Banshee. What a horrifying existence. Do your clothes become sentient too? What about water? Or poo. Or the ground? Do you walk around constantly hearing "ow, ow, ow, ow" in the distance? To what extent has Synthesis affected "living" organisms?

Bioware totally thought these endings through, lol! I would play as one of those Awakened Husks. Just start with what is seen in the green crap ending. The husk and guy look at each other like they're buddy-buddy. Come to find out, they are/were.
husk: Hold your fire. It's me Bill, Richard Marsden. I was at your wedding 9 years ago. How's your wife? Bill:...uh....Rick.....my wife.... was killed when the giant robots showed up.
husk/Rick: I'll tell ya what. There's a bar, Wet Your Whistle, around the corner. I'm going to get a drink. Meet me there and we can catch up on old times. Bill: Old times? Yeah, sure.
It would be a co-op game playing as those two. The story will be about them explaining what has happened for the last nine years while walking around helping people getting use to the green crap on their bodies.

Marketing wise: A Redemption for the More Paragon route and Return to Villainy in the Renegade Route that tied back into Andromeda Arch that shows that Scourge won against the Kett, Angaran, and Nexus Forces and learned of the Milk Way. The Husk becomes the Reaper Avatar of his New Reaper Shell and his new team mates are husks as well.... Within the New Milk Way/Andromeda story arch, Learning the Truth of the Scourge and a massive war between Reapers and Scourge forces.

I always thought Destroy was the most canon out of all the endings, because Shepard actually survives. Why would that make it the most canon of the endings? Yeah, not sure Shepard living has anything to do with Destroy as canon. Really, at this point there is no canon ending. If there's any reason to argue for Destroy being canon is that we spend most of the trilogy focused on that...none of the other two were well foreshadowed...and even more poorly implemented. I do often wonder though if Shepard had only survived with the Synthesis option if 70% would still have chosen Destroy. I'd bet good money not.

Shepard could survive the 3 endings if given the option. Here's a thread explaining how that might have happened.
Even if Shepard had survived all 3 endings, I would guess destroy would still be chosen the most since the reapers are no longer around like they are with blue and green

Or ... we can go with my idea where Jack and Miranda discover the Crucible's "Friendly UI mod" that TIM stole from the Mars archive, which he intended to use, in order to Control the Reapers, without dying.

It was clear that it would take the ultimate sacrifice to win. Hardly. Not even Shepard suicide bombing them, would decimate the fleet. It makes sense for something like Berserk, when it's one man, going off to fight an old friend that betrayed him and can only end in the two of them killing each other, but how on Earth, would Shepard killing himself save the galaxy unless he used the Infinity Stones, or some other macguffin, that was deemed "too powerful" for one man to use, much less so, because someone forgot to design the "friendly UI mod" for it. Besides, it's otherwise a direct copy of the Deus Ex: Human Revolution ending and that was released just 6 months prior. If anything, it is telling of creative bankruptcy.
