[@Izzy3710]

Javik is such an underappreciated character it makes me weep, especially when he's dismissed for being coldhearted and manipulative. He himself said he was born at a time when they could only teach the young of war, of the hard calculus that would let them live to see another day, the sheer hopelessness of fighting an unwinnable war, can you really blame him for his initial views? In that situation, anything that could give you an edge, that could prolong extinction for even just a second, would be seized without a second thought to morals and empathy, because it came down to the sheer desperation for survival. It doesn't excuse his words and actions, obviously, but it's a realistic and complex portrayal of the sheer trauma that can come from living in that kind of situation all your life. But the most amazing thing is the way he grows, goes from calling Liara 'the asari' to 'Dr. T'soni', from commenting on asari's ability to write to wanting to write a book with her, from refusing to shake Shepard's hand in the beginning to initiating one with Shepard in the end, telling her he believes in her and he knows she'll be able to defeat the Reapers, wanting to experience peace for himself. He grows, he heals, he learns that this time is different from his, learns empathy and kindness and understanding. The scene at the end where he's injured can be interpreted multiple ways, but I think the pain on his face and in his words was worry for Shepard, the place he belongs fighting at her side, no longer thinking of her as some nameless asset but as a person, a person who he will probably never see again, and that pains him. He cares for others, looks forward to a peaceful future, and considers 'primitives' his equals. I just- wish more people would appreciate how amazing a character he is.

[@bossshun9]

[@themadhammer3305]

Javik is mostly under appreciated because he was locked behind a pay wall, one of if not the most intresting character in the series and a HUGE deal as the lore of the francise goes. But no EA and Bioware carved him out for a few extra pennies as day one DLC

Adding to that, many live were lost when he was in statis pod simply to keep one living soul alive so he will be the voice of prothean empire. Only to find his hope smashed to the floor and found that their clue and beacon and everything they have left for the primitives fail to warn them of an impending Reaper attack.

[@ezekielrose5173]

I have a theory: I think that if A: the From Ashes DLC (which I remind everyone was finished BEFORE ME3 launched) was included on the standard edition disk instead of being special edition extra crap and B: EA had had some sense and just let Bioware either use the original ending even though it leaked OR allowed them to come clean and say "Look, the ending we've had planned since day one is no longer usable so we had to rework things a little bit, bear with us; then the backlash to ME3's original ending would not have been nearly as bad as it was. Alot of the whole "Synthetics vs. Organics through each cycle" stuff is foreshadowed pretty directly in Javik's dialogues and it seems like it was Bioware's effort to patch up the holes in the narrative caused by having to change the ending (read: everyone knew what was going to happen, but there was nothing they could do about it so they tried their best). Granted, it's understood that the reason alot of that foreshadowing only exists in Javik's arc/dialogue is because that content was made after the base game's dev time was wrapped, and the ending changes happened fairly late in that process, so this may indeed have been the best they could do, but in that case it should have been free DLC for all editions. (And this is coming from someone who thought, given the circumstances, ME3's ending was about as good as it could have been) Bottom line: EA prioritized their business and bottom line over the realization of their artists' work. Everything is their fault. Theirs and Konami's. Konami wasn't even involved in this game but it's still their fault because Fuck Konami!

Okay, I don't know Mass Effect in its entirety, but when it comes to romance I feel like they did Javik dirty here.

Now you can say, "That's just his character," and sure, that can be valid on its own. But that doesn't make a GREAT character as opposed to a static one. I would have loved to see Javik have to face the hypocrisy of his beliefs and learn something from the characters he encountered. Also, what makes a great ROMANCE is when each love interest learns something from their partner and they change and grow as individuals from each new challenge that they face. To romance Javik, Shepard just has to agree with everything he says(as far as I have observed from this video) and that just makes it so that Javik is never faced with a situation where his beliefs are challenged which in turn leads to conflict and growth. Plus it's aggravating and a bit uninteresting as far romances go. I would have loved to see Javik recover and remember his people's memories and go through an episode of despair, frustration, and grief. I would have liked to see his views of other races and AI change as he's forced to rely on people he's done nothing but looked down on. I would have loved to see his beliefs on war and battle challenged when faced with loss and hurt of the people close to him, whether he's close to them or not, he realizes how much it affects people and what war costs, and what peace means for people IN war. I would have loved to see Javik realize even though he's given everything he is to war like he always has, the thought of losing Shepard makes him want to overturn his beliefs, and that shocks him. Maybe that thought even scares him. He had so much room for development and so much about his species and his traits that I felt were ever fully explored. Not to mention he's the LAST one of his kind. I would have killed for a scene where he shows vulnerability for the first time and shares his inner fears with Shepard, showing how much he trusts and values whatever they have going on at that point. Writing this out felt good. Now I can sleep at night.

[@solavelyans]

Thank you for this I feel the same

[@vksasdgaming9472]

During Mass Effect 3 there really isn't time for him to start reflecting himself and judging his meaning. He still wants to see peace rather than keep suffering going just because he wants it to go on. I think after the war (especially if memory shard is not used) he goes through severe crisis of identity as so much is expected from him and he has no answers to questions.

[@Pelican07.23]

Doesn't he become more friendly with the crew as the game goes on? One ending has him writing a book with liara.

[@alexboehm3919]

1:13:20 no, Shepard came to hang out with the DLC kids

[@basedkaiser5352]

Javik should’ve been in the base game, he’s way too important to just be a “bonus” character.

[@Jaisha26]

Agreed.

[@HoHhoch]

He originally was. But due to time constraints imposed by EA, they didn't have time to complete him. It's hard to think about now, but when Mass Effect 3 launched you still had to 'go gold' (have your final copy) in print long before the actual release date. They removed sections where he'd be required etc etc. During that time before publication they worked on finishing Javik. Hence the day one dlc. It's also why he's so well integrated into the game compared to Zaeed and Kasumi in ME2.

[@pinnacleevolution1634]

Lol in the leaked script he was even more important, he was the catalyst.

All of these years later, he's still my absolute fav alongside Thane. It's a shame he's underutilized since he only got one game to shine in and underappreciated throughout the fandom. I love me some four eyed bug aliens with sexy accents. Oh, the pains of being obsessed with a side character.

"They used to eat flies." He's flabbergasted that they survived this long

[@hjpop]

I always wondered something. The Collectors were Protheans genetically modified by the Reapers. Shepard may have taken out the Collector Base but that doesn't mean he/she wiped them all out, yes? After the Reapers, wouldn't it be possible for the Salarians to re-engineer them back to Prothean, considering Javik exists as a genetic marker?

[@junaidi2]

hjpop Aren't the reaper modifications permanent? If cloned like how Grunt was made then I think it's very likely possible. But it feels like with Andromeda, bioware didn't leave much to know what happened after the war since they leave the ending open. But prothean scientists would be an awesome creation.

[@Rensune]

hjpop That would require Creativity: something a little out of Bioware's abilities, now.

[@junaidi2]

Ryder knew partially about it though. In one of the logs, you can hear the various home planets reporting about Reapers invading Palaven, Thessia and Earth. Ryder is now just wondering what is a Reaper and whether Milky Way survives the reaper invasion. Even Liara says in the log to "remember us". Since BW didnt choose a specific canon ending, we will never truly know what happens.

Javik is the epitome of the old man complaining about how things are too different: "Back in my cycle we didn't care what other races thought, and if they thought differently we just ate them"

Ya gonna count that back then most of those races were possibly more animal-like than they are now? Try likening it to early humans feasting on bear meat, which most don't do now.

More like someone blatantly confused and voicing stuff the best way he knows without realising the actual context behind it. I was one of those people once.

[@kuyagab4444]

From the way Javik talks it would be safe to assume that the Protheans are like Space Alien Wakandans.

[@stub0794]

Not at all. It would be more accurate to say they were romans.

[@Your-Least-Favorite-Stranger]

The only remaining question is did they or did they not know de way

[@sebastianquinchia1840]

From the way Javik described them and how they made other races join them or die, they seemed like mandalorians to me.

[@MrThewalkingdead]

Let's be clear. Javik knew what a handshake was. He had already gained a pretty thorough knowledge of whatever language modern humans speak, and presumably a handshake is a bit easier to parse than say, the hidden depths of meaning within the Thong Song. He was just like "Nah."

[@SuccubiSage]

I see it in his face. It was first panic when he woke up. Then when Shepard told him that they delayed the invasion, it was hope.
