Well the starchild made more sense but I guess the idea of convincing the being that controlled all the reapers to become good seems a bit too convenient. I always thought the reaper threat would be kill or be killed and no real compromise in between. All the taunting the reapers done to you and how you are beyond their comprehension and then suddenly the one that controlled the reapers give you respect and save your life?

I'm not that fond with the illusive man becoming good unless there was a serious rewrites of the illusive man confrontation scene.

We can convince illusive man that he is indoctrinated but we can't convince him that his human first agenda is wrong or racist.

The fact of the matter is illusive man always considered control as a way for human dominance. He will just used it to destroy the alien fleet.

however the ending significantly improved by seeing your war assets play out and connecting the ending with the squad mates. At least the themes of galactic unity and alliance building was incorporated in the end.
