I like the ending, because it is BioWare's. BioWare put immense amounts of time and effort into creating these three games and all their DLC for us, so it seems a bit rich to be claiming that all the endings are the same, when in reality they are not. The Destruction ending destroys the Reapers, ending the threat of them forever, as well as potentially preserving Shepherd, Earth, and the Squad. This, however, is contingent on EMS. The Synthesis Ending ends the distinction between Synthetic and Organic Life, and the Control Ending allows for the Reapers to fall under the control of the Allies. That definitely seems like a big difference to me, not at all like the simple "Oh, you just get a different color laser" explanation and joke that has been running rampant.
