User blog comment:Legionwrex/Did the Leviathan DLC really add a new twist to the endings?/@comment-70.143.75.215-20120906073318

Remember, the Levi's got wiped out by the Crucible when it didn't even have a horde of Reapers. Manipulation aside, which can be shielded against, they're just plain not that strong.

And if there's thousands of Shepard programmed Reapers running around, these tentacled crabs don't stand a chance. If they were so all powerful, they'd not have lost in the first place.

Shepard's knowledge on shielding against Levi-control is well known regardless of ending.
