The Extended Cut was a huge improvement on the original ending. Red was a bit of a letdown, though. Too open-ended.

I think referring to the endings by color will probably be more spoiler-friendly i nthe logn run, since thei colors are kind of memetic at this point.

In reference to Red, it's kind of interesting, though, in that this was the ending we were ultimately shooting for way back in 2007:

You kill all the Reapers, you kill all the geth, you kill that dick AI on Luna but for real this time, you restore some element of the status quo after having united the galaxy, and things go back to as they should be, with organic life forging its own path through history - and Shepard maybe even returning to active Specter duty, who knows.

I mean if you look at it one way it's rough, but if you look at it that way it's kind of hilarious

That is interesting, yes. But then Red is what Captain Anderson had been pushing for the whole time, remember? It's the status quo.

Definitely the hardest part of Red was having to kill the Geth after they had become so great in my eyes. I really couldn't care less about the fact that we didn't have giant death machines/a creepy omniscient god wandering around.
