What other pages have you seen this on? Because they are supposed to be kept clear of such.
Legion's "Cutscene Incompetence" is Not A Subversion since nothing is brought up in game to subvert it. Your arguments, while sound and interesting, are still purely theoretical with nothing suggesting it in-story. It is a textbook case of the first example of a Justifying Edit (which are supposed to be deleted).
- "The justification is based on debatable grounds that will look like guesswork, rationalization or misaimed fandom to others."
Actual details of Fridge Brilliance, maybe. But simple annotations? As long as they don't term it as "possibly subverted" or the like, they don't seem picked at as often.
Plus, there is in fact plenty to suggest in it in the story, considering one single Reaper in ME 3 (and a lesser one at that) was sufficient to command and control the entirety of the Geth race.
Ergo, it's not actually speculation that a prime/ Sovereign-Class Reaper, even a brain-dead one, would be advanced enough to hinder Legion like that as opposed to practically being an unspoken fact. Debating whether it deserves mention here is one thing, but I think it's wrong to call it "purely theoretical" - if nothing else, we agreed there was enough there to deserve fridge mentions of it.

The Messiah is no longer a trope. Please readd under an actual trope.
- The Messiah: Legion to the geth, should Shepard side with the geth or pacify the geth and quarians. He gives his life, just after gaining full sentience, in order to give true intelligence to all of the geth. Just before his Heroic Sacrifice, he refers to himself as "I" for the first and last time.
Would someone please explain why any attempt to note a subversion to Legion's "Cutscene Incompetence" trope gets relegated to "Natter" or "Fridge"? It doesn't seem like any other page on this site is relegated to such an extreme.
