"there is a video on YouTube that simply removes any appearance of the starbrat and cuts directly to destroy and it was received significantly better than any of the videos of the original ending."

So a video made for ending-bashers rated by ending-bashers makes the video a better ending?

To put it bluntly, the Happy Ending Mod is all about tearing out everything that makes the ending a Mass Effect ending—no climatic revelation about the history of the galaxy, no difficult decision with a heavy impact on galatic civilization. Nothing you've done influences your options or the outcomes because there is only one outcome; the mod simply does not allow the player to choose an option that the creator does not approve of.

The Happy Ending Mod is all about turning a Mass Effect ending into a non-Mass Effect ending for the people who hate Mass Effect endings.
