Forum:Is the lack of a traditional boss fight/villain really that bad?

i think a large part of the reason people were upset with the ending is that they didnt have a typical villain to defeat. thats where i think things like the IT came from. the need to have something to defeat. when i really think about though, there isnt that type of villain. assuming the catalyst is evil is implying that it has morals. which it cant. "evil machines" doesnt really make sense. organics have morals because they evolved living around each other for thousands of years. they started off killing each other over things like food, land, and mates. eventually a system of "right and wrong" developed. but its an organics system. a synthetic being that abruptly comes into existence and is told to complete what is essentially an impossible task isnt going to look at life in an even remotely similar way. this is two completely different types of life sharing the same living space. those people that immediately tried to vilify the catalyst/reapers in the way that they did are applying organic morals and logic to a synthetic life form. similar to how the catalyst applied synthetic logic to how organics should exist when it came up with its solution. those people that are still trying to vilify the catalyst/reapers are only proving that a conflict between the two is inevitable. but because the organics are the creators, this falls back on them. the leviathan are an organic race that created a synthetic life form... to solve a problem that exists because of organics creating synthetics. this is all happening because of organic creating synthetic life, what they create it for, and how they treat/react to its sentience. until organics need for technological advances surpasses the creation of artificial intelligence, this will always happen.
