Well it IS already seen. Control ending is already seen in WoW: Wrath of the Lich King, than in Pirates of the Caribbean, in Matrix ( sort of). Motive of meeting of a "supreme" being before the end that helps main protagonist is also seen most recently in Harry Potter ( meeting Dumbledore in an imaginary Purgatory, or w/e), but there are many examples.

True,all the motives were reused many times throughout centuries, but always with original inovations. ME3 had no original inovations.
