Ever since DS2 it's we were introduced to the "convergence event" where a whole bunch of Necromorphs got together and presumably made a larger one akin to the Hive Mind from the first game. We already new there was a higher intelligence behind the Necromorphs, for them to turn out to be compelled to form into a giant one is just a logical conclusion. As I said, the similarities are purely superficial. The beginning, middle, and end results are completely efferent between Brethren Moons/Reapers and are nothing alike.
