[@cartoon80s90s]

We need badly a movie trilogy for the Starcraft universe. Can't believe no one is willing to do this. Certain blockbuster.

[@The11jones]

Johnny Jaxon exactly, have HBO do it like Game of thrones, one season per game, starcraft, brood war, wings of liberty, heart of the swarm, and if they ever make more

[@AnnaliseDavidson1234]

I think The Wachowskis would do a great job of this!

[@OHOHOHCOME]

I think they need to start from the original StarCraft.

[@cartoon80s90s]

Gundam Magic Indeed. In fact I don't see how they could start from anywhere else.

[@hammadraws]

Better love story then twilight. But seriously... Most powerful forbidden love I've ever seen :,) manly tears were shed at the ending

[@zoupskim]

MARINE: Guys! Bunker up! VIKING: What? What's going on. MARINE: Headed for our position, at this very moment, is... a woman. VIKING: ... That... That doesn't sound too bad. MARINE: On her PERIOD!!! 29:01

[@jaisonportes7276]

because they get mad,,,turning into a empire of zerg...

[@DoAGoldeneye]

I can't express how wonderful it is that this isn't just a series of cinematics but that you also explain the intermediate plot !!

[@matthewwoo640]

A lot of characterisation and minor details are not seen in here, but on in-game dialogue and on the leviathan, so watching only this may leave some people thinking the characters are dhallow

[@pontusdorsay3103]

I fucking cried to this, I never cry...

[@MDUmairKh]

Best documentary ever ! :-D

[@WizardWorksYT]

27:35-27:50 - There's something powerful about the deliberate motion of Kerrigan's finality here. Well played, Blizzard.

[@darkmotez]

4:56-6:04 Now that's a real deep scene right there.

[@talentedlikenoother]

well done on the narration man! VERY AWESOME! i was thinking of making this myself, but figured i should do a youtube search first, and lo and behold, you made something way better than i could have done. KUDOS! :)

[@Cando01]

I just can't help but think Kerrigan is so like Darth Vader from Star Wars.

[@tutes0133]

Jason Cando I do believe they took some inspiration

[@cameltoe4565]

Didn't have any desire to play the game. This is how I'm going to "play" my games from now on - by watching the game cinematics from KZbin. This is how I enjoyed my Mass Effect 3 DLC as well.

[@JamieTransNyc]

Sounds like raynor as narrator

[@KawaiiKemonomimi]

The cinematics were badass! I love how they revealed more about the Zerg's history.

[@LOLanjello]

i really like the story...i wish Jim and Kerrigan coulda had a good ending together though...get married and maybe make some zerglets together..and everyone lived happily ever after

[@Dexcessive]

+LOLanjello zerglets? wtf?

[@SabotKE]

+The Black Mamba Bahaha thought the same exact thing

[@Dinocrap1101]

I really like the idea of the zerg being the good guys. I think it's hilarious that without a controller the zerg swarms were just chilling and not bothering anyone.

[@MrCantStopTheRobot]

They're neither good nor bad. Neutral. Just animals. If a tiger mauls you it's just following its nature. Doesn't make it good. But you can't fault it for following instinct.

[@Dinocrap1101]

***** lol if a tiger mauls you it's for 1 of 2 reasons, either it's hungry and you're dinner or you're buggin it somehow. that's interesting though, I only played starcraft and the expansion called brood war but what I got from the storyline was that the zerg were evil. personally that didn't stop me from havin the zerg as my favorite playable race, I think genetic monstrosities are cool. I always liked watching monster movies, makin em was even better.

[@TeraQuad]

They need a TV series of this.

[@Vhargon]

Not to mention all friends he lost in the battles on Char to save her. The victory of that day for him was getting her humanity back. To see her like that willingly felt like those lives lost were for nothing. Took him a while to figure out it was the only way... he must have realized that the warnings Zeratul gave him needed her at her most powerful.

[@MrDarth151]

1:37 Did I just heard wilhelm?

[@vprentice8582]

yes

[@lytherael2309]

Weird. I heard 'AAARGH!' and a lot of gunshot and that sond the zerglings make.

[@lytherael2309]

Lerquiy of Nirlac sound*

[@fuckenmike]

wow what a intense 30 minutes!! so much story compacted into a extremely entertaining video!!! thanks for posting!!

[@wajietaus]

I kinda dont like the idea of zergs beeing good guys and protus bad guys :P

[@japintomor]

when you are playing you know that you are doing bad things

[@geraldirving3224]

zerg is like russia given a bad light about their unorthodox practices but have a good heart protoss is like america just because he has the technology doesn't mean it hasn't recently fallen from grace

[@eusebiuvornicu1974]

Zergs are actually beasts, animals, with their primal needs and organic reproduction. Their actions are forgiveable. Mutation and evolution are their way of life condition enhancement. Although they don't posess any kind of technologiacal weapons, they have learned to use the perfect devices. Their organisms. Fascinating, really! That is why they are my favoirite race!

[@geraldirving3224]

Yet protoss wastes them every tournament now?

[@aclock2]

Javierz Pinto Morales Zerg has a different philosophy of good-evil. To them, one consume another so that the winner absorb the fallen's essence to grow stronger than both is a natural thing. And that process has to keep going because remaining idle means destruction. It's a very one dimensional evolution theory but it's not evil, just cruel.

[@Magrotusson]

OH MY GOSH HOW PERFECT:-))) Thank you so much for the effort. Now I can spare the million words for my friends who want to see this and for those who doesn't but are forced to watch it -- I just show them this movie. Thanks:) Heart of the swarm: Finally - a Blizzard masterpiece again.

[@lukassinterklas]

SC1 Queen of Blades: doesn't give a shit about Raynor and Mengsk. Kill, backstab, and destroy everyone SC2 Primal Queen of Blades: it's all about killing Mengsk, I love Raynor bla bla bla SC1 QoB>>>>>SC2 QoB

[@rivaxis]

someone didnt played wings of liberty

[@riddhidev]

Dude, if a CYBERMAN HAS IT'S EMOTIONAL CIRCUITS SUDDENLY SWITCHED ON, IT WOULD DIE FROM THE EMOTIONAL OVERLOAD OF THE ATROCITIES IT HAD JUST COMMITTED. IT'S JUST THE SAME FOR KERRIGAN. SHE'S GOT BACK HER HUMANITY. SO DEAL WITH IT.

[@lukassinterklas]

rivaxis someone didn't read "Primal" in my post.

[@lukassinterklas]

Riddhidev Banerjee I dealt with it allright, I clearly said that I preferred SC1 QoB to the SC2 Primal QoB. On the other hand, I like some stuff in SC2 a lot better than those in SC1, like how they structure the campaign which is way a lot better than that of in the first installment. But I don't have to like everything. DEAL WITH IT.

[@lukassinterklas]

rivaxis which makes me wondering who actually didn't play Wings of Liberty.

[@DragonForceRider]

Nearly cried throughout most of these cinematic's. Truly an amazing story line.

[@franciscoalvarez5215]

This shit ain't Starcraft... this is just a soup-opera shit. The real Starcraft was a badass, serious, tough and dark shit. This is just childish.

[@riddhidev]

Well, I got to watch Kerrigan use walking bomb on Arcturus. Good enough for me.

[@sniper1724]

Francisco Álvarez There's plenty of action and blood. I liked how they decided to tell a very human story that made me care about the characters more. Sure, its not all executed perfectly, but the cutscene at 12 mins is gold, and the ending is good.

[@OhManTFE]

sniper1724 SC1 was like Game of thrones. SC2 is like Lord of the Rings.

[@FroggyQC23]

I love Starcraft II story, so epic. All of Heart of the Swarm cinematics are amazing.

[@Senorgoon]

I nearly cried the first time I saw the ending to this game. The Starcraft series is by far one of my favorite franchises ever.

[@Lavos2007]

also a ton of the lore/backstory that ties HotS with WoL, SC1 and Brood War doesnt happen directly though the normal cutscenes but rather the player-initiated dialogue scenes with the characters aboard the Leviathan, thats where you find out most of the stuff about Amon and his origins/creations/influence etc

[@Vhargon]

When Tassadar claimed he had never tasted death, it was more symbolic than literal. It basically meant that Tassadar considered death as a complete end to one's self... but to him, he did not die, he merely rejoined the Khala.

[@matthewwoods5449]

Thanks for making this video i finally got a big grip on the storyline of starcraft 2

[@btje1999]

I just bought this game yesterday and after the first 2 mission I was like I need to see some more cinematics. Cool you put everything together now I at least understand a bit more what's going on.

[@HopliteDoc]

As someone new to the series, you wouldn't understand then the more than decade long wait most have been enduring to see the outcome of this story. Not just the trials between Kerrigan and Raynor, but of a balance between three races that have all been given the chance to tell their story and be personified. God dammit, I've been waiting forever.

[@TheLordgorgor]

RIP mengesk, you raynor, kerrigan, zeratul, and tassdar to say the least were my childhood and made me who i am today. you will be truely missed

[@sandwitht6264]

her eyes are full of wonder when she looks at him. so warming!

[@bachtranlequan1806]

Oh my God! This one gonna win bunches of Oscars, if not all of them. Such story, and VFX. Hell, they should have made a full-fledge movie.

[@Tentadish]

The story and cinematics made me feel all kinds of feelings, its fucking awesome, I wish Starcraft had a whole movie to it, or maybe even more movies!

[@ShaofHappiness]

She does! You notice in the later cinematic with Zeratul, the Zergling next to her is missing the horn on the same side. I call him Smokey.

[@angelhhe1866]

This is the coolest scify history of all times!! Why blizzard is not making a movie?!!!??! damn!! great job with those cinematics!!!!...

[@Sukuck1]

She's an Anti-Hero, in case you don't know what Tvtropes is, it's a hero with villian-like tendencies. You might be asking "how is that different from before" well she still basically wants to kill Mengsk but she takes the long route so people-Protoss, Terrans alike- don't dies as much as they used to. That, and she took pains not to kill civilians or the like unlike before.

[@IsaacBahamondes.]

creo que la historia de starcraft es una de las mejores de todos los video juegos desde starcraft original hasta broodwar y starcraft 2 wing of liberty y ahora heart of the swarm

[@Archzenom]

Holly hell! This is awesome! Someone better turn this into a 2.5 hour full length CGI movie!

[@RedBadger24]

I wish they had a Wings of Liberty version of this. So beautifully done! I have a bunch of friends who don't play Star Craft and don't know why I love it so much. I keep telling them the story is incredible and this will help me prove it, plus it's a blast to play!

[@FiftyStates5]

To be fair, Starcraft II's story is a hot mess that makes very little sense. The cutscenes just rock

[@Orion2k8]

Damn it, growing up following this storyline and seeing it end brought a manly tear

[@nerddrrage]

So amazing... thank you so much for uploading this!

[@NixyNovahkiin1337]

One of the best games I ever played. And definitely the best strategy game ever.

[@Lavos2007]

for deaths by kerrigan, it was Arcturus' decision to not rescue her, he is responsible for her original incarnation as the Queen of Blades in the original SC1/Brood War, hence the falling-out between him and Jim, jim wanted to save her but Arcturus said "nope" and so she got taken by the zerg/infected, she was under the influence of the Overmind, but she isnt in HotS thus displays some compassion/understanding despite wanting revenge on Mengsk, she wanst pure-evil like she was under the Overmind

[@NaBeHobby]

thanks for putting this together

[@rileyhansen378]

i like how you placed chat explaining what happenes between cinematics

[@adamsmith6933]

It is a part of the game, it gives you details that you don't really need but in case you want to know everything, you should read them. They're not necessary, just for those who want more details of what happens, especially between missions.

[@martinuzunov9346]

Hey, that's actually a very sensible idea. Kinda sux that the whole story got built around Kerrigan, but now she is kind of dull. She made all the sacrifices, she got all the power. Its pretty straight forward from here on.

[@FieryFlamingFajitas]

Well damn! Blizzard makes freaking amazing cinematics. Kinda wish they would make a live action film of Star Craft...

[@TheReasonableLiberal-hn2rs]

It was their first meeting so what do ya want? He just met her but she knew what type of guy he was because she read his mind. Jim's a decent guy but he wouldn't have taken a drop ship to save just anyone. It was clear he liked her from the first game and after some time he grew to love her.

[@Lavos2007]

the lore from WoL and HotS does fit in rather seamlessly with SC1/BW, explans many things that werent very clear or known in SC1/BW but were likely part of the lore even then, also helps make sense of the original QoB Kerrigan/Overmind, the Overmind in SC1/BW was little known of its origins, all you knew is it was a Xel'naga creation like the Protoss as a race, in HotS you find out its true origins and how it enslaved most of the Primal Zerg after Amon made it in order to bind them to his will

[@iwanabana]

AdriaCraft, thank you SO much for the commentary. Probably not as good as Morgan Freeman but it is so much appreciated!

[@SaysDaniel]

Alexei Stukov just comes out of nowhere, "hay guise can i join da zergs, im cameo". Great game 10/10.

[@SiliconeSalad]

This is how I would like to write a letter to Blizzard Dear Blizzard The Starcraft fans are hungry for a full length movie on the big screen. Animated with the utmost quality graphics I am sure it would be an absolute huge money maker and crowd favourite. A love story with a huge twist! The story has so much heart to it its amazing. This fan of 15 years would be thrilled to see it. Thanks Dave AKA Zoin

[@VoidMaid]

Wow. And to think: Once upon a time I was excited to see how the story of Kerrigan would play out. Brood Wars seems like a lifetime ago...and apparently it was.

[@Lavos2007]

the Overmind officially died by the end of SC1 Brood War, but Kerrigan wasnt purged of the "darkness" so to speak till the end of Wings of Liberty if you followed the story and dialogue scenes in Heart of the Swarm it makes perfect sense, evne kerrigan hersself claims to remember an imposing dakrness as the former queen of blades under the Overmind, which was Amon's evil influence upon her, and Amon is very evil and seeks destruction of all things essentially

[@DolphTheMan]

Thank you much for uploading this.

[@Morkhaz]

"i had to get you out" it suddenly summons so much garlic around me.

[@SXsoft99]

just love how no bulet even comed close to hit her at the last part :))

[@Vhargon]

You're probably the only person who thinks Raynor never loved Kerrigan. Kerrigan specifically chose Raynor to call out to from the Chrysalis with whatever humanity she had left. Raynor led an entire fleet of soldiers to Char to save her. And when he saw what she became, and knew it wasn't truly her, but a corruption... he swore to spare her this pain and put her down. He loved her. It doesn't need to be said in some pre-mission briefing room for it to be true.

[@MercC23k]

Yeah, I really looked forward to playing an FPS in the Starcraft universe. It would have been awesome.

[@ELECTROJUGGERNAUT]

14:00 the ling comes back like, "its alright, you still got us."

[@timemonkey]

You'll notice Kerrigan NEVER says she doesn't deserve punishment for the things she's done. In fact she mentions repeatedly there'll be a price to pay for her choices and she accepts that.

[@Vhargon]

And Raynor did love her. He hated the Queen of Blades. He saw them as two different people. He swore to kill the Queen of Blades because he saw it as someone else taking control of his beloved's body. He didn't know that there could be any other way to free her from it until SC2.

[@Mrcryptidsarereal]

That broken-horned zergling is just adorable.

[@Deadcrows1981]

Since starcraft to warcraft 3 to now, why the hell hasn't blizzard made a movie about any of this or something else with its amazing story lines!

[@AlphaTuber]

Blizzard really knows how to make impressive cinematics.

[@Vhargon]

No, Kerrigan's power was always being a psychic. She's the most powerful human psychic there is. When she went through the Ghost Academy, they implanted a chip in her head to weaken her abilities. When she became the Queen, one of the first missions in the first game was to remove the chip. And Tassadar IS dead. He spoke to Zeratul through the psi energy of the Overmind's corpse, as a lasting impression from the moment of his death when Tassadar connected with the Overmind for a split second.

[@adipredescu1990]

Extremely eloquently put sir... My feelings exactly

[@KaosNova2]

Has there ever been a size given for a Terran Battlecruiser? That one falling seemed to be a Star Destroyer in size, or a little bigger.

[@tomyjf]

Kerrigan is the swarm, yet she has a heart for Raynor and the innocent. And this campaign was all about the "Heart of the Swarm"

[@dungeonmaster16]

from last comment. even when the terrain, zerg and protoss defeat amon it doesnt mean it will fix the bloodshed these 3 factions had in the past so they will be on neutral terms. like each has there own sector as long the other faction dont come to invade, colonize or take resources. if they attempt this (which will either by illegal trading, mercenaries. ship lost cordinates and come to these sectors then there will be minor or high hostility between them.

[@Elshantonio]

All in all, did they pull off a better game (and story) than WoL? Yes, they did. Was I satisfied at the end? Yes. Far from the near-perfect game it could have been, but still AWESOME. Jim Raynor is the man, always was - ever since I met him, driving around in his Vulture, on Chau Sara...:) Since I started playing SC, as a fifth grader, I'm attached to it. And no matter how cheesy, the end almost made me cry. It really touched me. I'll never stop loving this franchise :)

[@timemonkey]

In SC1 Kerrigan was infested, her entire personality was changed. mengsk never escaped from her, she let him leave so he could live in fear of her until she got bored and killed him. She was doing the same to Zeratul. Sarah Kerrigan and the Queen of Blades are both based from the same personality but with diferent priorities and perspectives. As for the relationship, there's months in between missions we never got to see. There wasn't room to show everything.

[@RoaringMan]

Their love was such a small part of the story in Starcraft 1.

[@Tarngold]

According to the wiki, the VA for Zeratul is Fred Tatasciore, also well known for the Hulk in cartoons and the Avengers movie. Optimus Prime's VA was and currently is Peter Cullen.

[@NewTypeDilemma01]

Actually, looking at your back and forth trade of arguments reminds me of another concept from Flashpoint. While Jim saw Sarah and the Queen of Blades as two different entities, Sarah herself was not so sure. Being Queen of Blades for so long ultimately ingrained itself into her personality to the point where the line between Sarah and the Queen of Blades had blurred. To Sarah, she was responsible for all of it--to her, there was no difference. She killed as Sarah, and as the Queen of Blades.

[@bregenoranthoran1820]

Very interesting story. It does the job of making the game war feel worth fighting, very important in a war video game

[@jarrinderricks1307]

If only the story for starcraft 2 was written as well as the cinematics were produced

[@qroxfire]

she became the "Primal" Queen of Blades, so I guess she evolved a resistance to it through her previous experience.

[@Raducu2oo5]

Lavros, they touched upon all the topics of Starcraft 2 in a "mysterious" way. Even in SC1 Original, the overmind touches upon some Xel'Naga subjects. in BW they touch a bit upon these things (even the secret level when Duran talks to Zeratul about hybrids). But it was so cool that they left it as a mystery and made it sounds so powerful...now they'll have the guys actually be a 'god' who is gonna be brought back from the dead wtf...and kerrigan will prolly end up killing him/her/it

[@octavian1118]

13:20 was, for those who played, in my opinion the most "nooooooooooooooooo" moment in StarCraft univers... This is how it felt for me

[@Th3King86]

Starcraft games revolve so much around combat that anything that hasn't been seen in the cut scenes and cinematics would be mostly warscenes. Writing a script for a movie is a bit different that will work is a bit different.

[@Vhargon]

That was Amon's control of the Zerg. The corruption. Being the Primal Queen of Blades now has none of that corruption.

[@Sean.A.M]

So intense and to think games now a days and evoke soo much emotion. I got chokd up once or twice. Im not much of a gamer in the sence of playing the games but love the story lines, well I do play games but games like this I enjoy but suck at or would take me longer then I have patience for. Love it it was awsome

[@deathmerger1]

Oh and Tychus also said his only debt was with mobius but we saw how that song and dance went so yeah Jim probably just said that or changed his mind his values are still the same and that was before he knew there was a way to make her human again sadly now she's now the primal qob but still both of them will probably work something out however Idk why the protoss just went away... in hots I mean I know they were severely damaged (one of the trailers had that scene) but yeah...

[@cashmachinegaming2823]

I moved heaven and earth to bring you back Sarah. I can't watch you throw that away just for revenge. I never gave up on you Sarah, don't you give up on us! Jeeze Jim, all I I I, me me me.

[@thetacojoe123]

wish Warfield didnt die he was a character who learned of raynors true goal and realized he was not such a bad guy and thought twice about his leader, Mengsk. Wish he wouldnt have died he seemed like a pretty cool guy.

[@ZrinNZ]

Probably because Zerglings, Hydralisks and Ultralisks are the most iconic from the first Starcraft. That's the way I see it at least.

[@Zack2912]

THEY SHOULD MAKE A MOVIE FOR STARCRAFT II ! All the cinematic trailers are good enough to make one already :D

[@blackicicle]

Wow, I finished heart of the swarm in 33 minutes and 49 seconds. Epic!

[@Skorpan1983]

Also interesting point : Arcturus Mengsk loathed fathers idea of struggle against Confederacy "which would involve killing people". Plus, had decent dreams of his own. Still I will comeback to look at this video, since it is very moving. Forgot to mention: I love also the part where Raynor spares Kerrigan and her willingness to submit to his judgement, whether she should live or not. Thanks for the upload. And sorry for any grammar mistakes if there are any. I'm not a native English speaker.

[@PinAda92]

awww i hope they still stay together

[@JWA8402]

He didn't drop her, that was just initial shock. He not only came back to help, he let her go.

[@Treekicker]

Blizzard sure loves, their Wilhelm screams.

[@happy14945]

I am pretty sure, that the protoss and zerg are becomming allies too. At least Kerrigan and Zeratul. He helped her to gain power and she says that their enemy "waits in the void". Reminds me of "call of the void". I caould also imagine a 4th race. (hybrids) I think they would be quite intresting to play. Maybe kind of all three races kombined.

[@Vhargon]

It's not truly anti-gravity powers... Her floating away at the end of HOTS was zerg exodus. This is how Zerg travel. It leaves them completely undefended while they do this, but the entire Swarm lifts up off the planet and hibernates during warpsleep to the next target.

[@MW2proification]

Kerrigan in the beginning when the Dominion attacked was afraid that Jim would have been left behind just like she was at New Gettysburg.
