[@DeltaTenNZ]

@@Icetea-2000 Couldn't agree more, frankly I wish Blizzard would just perma-kill off Kerrigan as highly unlikely as that would be to occur. Heck I wouldn't entirely mind if the Zerg became extinct as a race too, perhaps to be replaced with something vastly worse and potentially bio-mechanical in nature.

[@Icetea-2000]

@@DeltaTenNZ I think that was the problem of the PvP of SC2 coming first and the campaign coming second. Yes, yes, sc2 was THE esport game in the first half of the 2010s but that evidently didn’t last long. Not to say that the competitive scene is dead, far from it, but maybe they could’ve been more successful by focusing on the story, the setting, the campaign, the overall flavor and fun first, and then the PvP, just how Sc1 did it. Because there was no way they would ever going to kill off one of their factions, because of pvp. Which is the same reason why the warcraft universe is so boring to me nowadays. You know what’s going to happen, they won’t make truly drastic changes. The zerg could’ve been destroyed in one of the campaigns, and we even had a more threatening enemy presented, the Hybrids, a mix of protoss and zerg. That would’ve been a great replacement and a more terrifying enemy than the zerg

Makes the power armor seem more like a generalized tool than some super high-tech marvel in their world, it's like a gun, it serves it's purpose but means different things to different societies, some just want flashy flashy, some want tactical-only, some want something cheap yet workable. Some are based off the 1911, the cz-75, the ar-15, some are original designs, some become the symbol of a country and put it on their flag, some think it looks cool in gold, same way Raynor's armor is all personalized and flashy jazz compared to the red and blue uniformness.

I never played SC2. Story seems cool. Kerrigan seems like when she was re-infested that she retained a lot of the humanity that had returned to her. The old infested Kerrigan had only enough humanity to not kill Raynor when she had the chance.

[@forgottenfamily]

If you haven't yet, it's probably worth watching a few of the campaign maps - particularly the Zerus missions where she was re-infested - and they get into a bit of the why. TLDW: the swarm was subtly under Amon's control so when she was initially infested, so was she.

[@ЖеняПамшев-к4г]

I may not understand something, maybe this is the American mentality. 3 Terran planets were slaughtered along with the civilian population. If it's okay, I kind of sympathize with you. Although you have the best judicial system. But the genocide that Kerrigan staged in the heart of the swarm cannot be forgiven. If Kerrigan died at the end of the Legacy of the Void, it would be fair. For the crimes that she committed.

[@henningratjen4364]

@@ЖеняПамшев-к4г The thing is that it wasn´t her, since she was mindcontrolled. She remembers what she has done, but at that point was influenced so strongly that you cant really blame her for what Amon did through her.

[@JohnsonTheSecond]

@@ЖеняПамшев-к4г Her first infestation was done under Amon, the main antagonist of SC2 - She was influenced by him and seems to have lost her real free will, or was changed to be aligned with him, either way her infestation changed her. Original infested Kerrigan's actions you can say were responsible to the zerg that was cleansed of her, and not the human inside. Her second infestation was done by herself to primal (Pre-Amon) zerg, and she retained all free will, the same as when she is human at the end of WoL/Start of HotS. Her campaign in HotS is purely for revenge and is unjustifiable, as she was in full control.

They should come out with a Netflix series in the StarCraft universe, maybe a whole bunch of them if they end up doing good. I would binge watch that shit til I die LOL. Maybe the series could start off pre SC1 focused on the terrans, and their history of how they went from our modern times to becoming the confederacy. Of course wed eventually want to see how all of the factions stories brought them to the start of the first conflict. I would love to see them focus on the internal conflicts and power struggles of each faction because those are so important to the storyline obviously. I think that for people who aren’t familiar with the franchise or aren’t fans of star craft would still enjoy the storyline if they were given a chance to get to know the characters like Jim raynor and Sarah Kerrigan, and see how the story of the rise of evil and power struggles of the greedy and power hungry terrans is a relatable story to real life human history and current events. And once they see one of their favourite characters get captured by the Zerg and turned into a Zerg… BAM season 2 and they’re already hooked 😂. Come on Netflix 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I think an anime version would do well too for those who watch anime shows. I don’t but if it was StarCraft I definitely would.

This is the first that I’ve dived into the story of Starcraft, so some of the details are a bit loose for me, was she suppose to be the hero or Gillian of the game? And would someone be kind enough to share a brief understanding of what’s going on in this realm? How was she “betrayed” and what was her plan by joining the Zerg?

[@sirazid5950]

The history of starcraft is very complete and last on 5 game edition, each expansions continuing the story. A really good story for a RTS game ,I can only recommend you to dive further in it. Long story short to answer your question : Jim Raynor and Sarah Kerrigan used to fight for Arcturus Mensk (the leader of the terrans=humans who is killed at the end), against the tyranic power at the time, and they helped him to take control of the terran empire. But they started to realize that he was in fact worst than the tyrany they were fighting, and thus,Mensk decided ti get rid of them by sending Kerrigan to a suicide mission and abandonned her to die when she finished it (the treason). This led Jim Raynor to leave Mensk' army and to swear to kill Mensk one day. Althought the zerg did not killed Kerrigan but rather transfomed her into their new leader : the queen of blade, because of her very powerful psychic powers. She remembered everything of her former life but acted and thought in a totaly different way and killed her former allies with no hesitation, except for Jim Raynor, her lover, whom she let him live when she had the opportunity of killing him. He then promised then that one day he will kill the queen of blade to stop the slaughter. But one day, Mensk' s son, Valerian, who did not approve of his father, allied with Jim Raynor and they succeded to return her in her human form. Althought, she still kept abilities to control others zergs. This is where Heart of the Swarm begin. As you could see, Kerrigan was full of hate for Mensk and wanted revenge, still influence by her zerg side, but her love for Jim Raynor was keeping her in the "good" path. By killing Raynor, Mensk killed what was human in Kerrigan and then she decided to become the queen of blade again and used the full power of the zergs to kill Mensk. This is a very short summary, there is way more to it, and I can only advice you to dive further into starcraft lore :) And to the question is Kerrigan good or evil, she has been good and evil depending on the time (before, during, and after her transformation into zerg). During Heart of th Swarm, even if she is generaly mercyless toward her ennemies and the one who stand in her ways, she shows at several occasion mercy (like when she spare the soldiers in the cinematic, and aggreed to spare the civilians during the final battle). Hope this help you :)

@Sirazid, It answered a lot of questions I had, thx for the help, although that looked like a lot of typing so I apologize for that. I wasn’t expecting that much details but I’ll take some time to dive further now since I’m now very intrigued, thx again for the help
