User blog comment:TheUnknown285/A very interesting image from the remake of Halo (yes, this is ME-related)/@comment-4876714-20120402213531/@comment-58609-20120403004659

Or the Reapers could leave the galaxy and come back...or the Forerunners could hide in shield worlds...or they could retrieve the missing 5 rings and send the energy beyond the galaxy, but...

Meh. This is why I usually stay away from x vs. y arguments, whether it be discussions or reading/writing crossovers. I won't deny there's a degree of allure to them, but the arguments are almost entirely subjective and there's always varying levels of lore avaliable, and what that lore covers. In the end, using the medias as an example, I'd be far more interested in a story in which cultural, philisophical, societal, etc. differences are explored rather than x vs. y, let the best z win. 0_0
