Oh, you mean those dinky little metal lice that get torn apart by a giant thresher maw and get blasted into the dirt by a fleet of hobos? They're a bad joke.
The reapers are quite possibly the worst machine antagonists I've ever experienced in media (but I haven't seen all of the terminator franchise, and I've heard Skynet goes full retard). The only reason everyone got BTFO'd is because they're retarded and chose centralization of resources and became over-reliant on the reaper's toys without bothering to go over them with a fine tooth comb.

Because they don't want to genocide all organics? They need them, both to 'reproduce' and fulfill their flawed directive. They only cull. We knew since ME1 both how strong a single Sovereign-type Reaper was and that harvestings took hundreds of years.

>no actual fucking argument
What did I expect
>"ME3 was originally announced to release in the holiday season of 2011. By March 2011, the game production was behind schedule and the leads were convinced they couldn't have it ready for that release. Ultimately, Bioware's General Manager Aaron Flynn got the release pushed back to March 2012, through a direct phone call with the head of EA's games label. Even with that, production was still behind schedule and a significant amount of content was cut from the game"
Javik was cut before they were granted the extension to the deadline. Moving the game to 2012 allowed them to put him back but by then they had rewritten the plot already and EA was still jewish so he was forced to be DLC. Or in other words: I'll accept the concession.

About 1% of the known galaxy is explored. The Council in ME1 mentioning having to govern, protect, aid, help the lives of trillions. We know the Turians have unseen client races and they make mention of other unseen races in the games and Terminus Systems. Now 1% of hundreds of billions of stars in the galaxy is still maybe 1-2 billion you can imagine out of those planets a good hundred million maybe even 50 million or less have life and colonies on them. If the Reapers did really plan to fuck the 1% who discovered Mass Relays which is completely unlikely it would still take ages, even if they had 100,000 of those giant squid ships.

Not terribly. It's just what you're gameplan in combat is and whether or not you need to bring a tech person if you want to unlock lockers and shit, which usually just have ammo types and small upgrades. The game is mostly about liking party members and going on the grand adventure, not actually role-playing as a solder vs infiltrator vs engineer etc

At one singular Reaper per 50k years, that still results in far less numbers than the trillions of people in the galaxy if their aim is to finish a harvest with as few losses as possible. This idea that the Reapers should win a cycle five minutes after arriving was always dumb when ME1 itself already established the cycles taking centuries to end.

The leaked ending was pretty much exactly what we got with only a few changes. Main one being the Prothean/Javik being the Catalyst, which was MUCH better and shouldn't have been dropped. The pick a color stuff was not dramatically different between the leaked script and release.
There were other interesting decisions they scrapped like having to pick between Liara vs Ashley/Kaidan.

Wrong, the beacons were just normal technology in common use, the conduit project was in the works before the reaper invasion, and every cycle hid the crucible plans. Nothing they did that mattered was done by Javik's extraordinarily edgy and retarded guys who were just trying to survive the end of their cycle and into the next. Their plan failed completely outside of Javik himself, their scientists were what made the difference, and their motivations were based on hope for the next cycle to win, not revenge as it was for Javik.

So really, he's just edgy for no reason.
