Stukov Kills Xel'naga Narud (Starcraft 2 | Kerrigan, Raynor, Artanis Into the Void)

Stukov finally avenge the deaths of the UED Expeditionary Fleet and Gerard DuGalle.

[@archiraph1548]

Well they all got killed by Kerrigan and her Swarm. I don't see how he avenged them by siding with her.

[@micaelchinatsumaki4446]

What I mean is that Narud or Duran during Brood Wars was the reason why Stukov got killed because he was suspicious to Duran and Duran decides to trick Gerard that Stukov is a traitor because he was a obstacle to his plans and Stukov wanted to destroy the Zergs instead of controlling them and if Gerard did listen to Stukov they might have won the war and as of Stukov joining Kerrigan in StarCraft 2, Kerrigan during Brood Wars was under the influence of the Overmind and Amon so she has no control of herself and Stukov is a unique infested terran that can think and can do what he wants to do and he cannot go back to Earth and if he did manage to get back they might kill him or experimented on him so he has no choice but join Kerrigan, I mean sure its awkward to join the one of the reason that your allies and friends are dead but since he has no place to go and she is the only one who would accept him as he is then he has no choice but to join and Amon was everyone enemy and there is a saying that "The enemy of my enemy is my friend." and in the end he manage to kill Duran who is the reason why Stukov got turn into an infested terran and why Gerard is dead the UED Expeditionary Fleet got defeated and scattered. So as I said before Stukov avenge the deaths of his allies by killing Duran who trick Gerard into believing him and being use as pawn to his plans till the vey end without knowing it.

[@marcoboscarol2420]

He avenged his own death not theirs

[@Botar48]

Narud used Kerrigan as a puppet. He sabotaged UED war effort and created perfect opening for Kerrigan. While Kerrigan was the tool that destroyed UED fleet real mastermind was Narud. Old Kerrigan ''died'' when xel'naga construct fired so only one left to kill to avange the deaths of UED Expeditionary Fleet was Narud whom got killed in this video.

[@micaelchinatsumaki4446]

@Valek O'Keefe I mean it's true that Kerrigan the one who destroyed most of the UED fleet, but if Gerard trusted Stukov more than Duran, the outcome might be different and who knows maybe the UED fleet might have won the war.

[@loreenec8045]

lol I remember when Duran said "say goodnight Stukov", before shooting him, so the inverse situation where Stukov says "I've come to say goodnight you son of a bitch" is hilarious.

Yes, Duran is a xel'naga. Yes, Stukov killed a xel'naga. Don't question it. Just fear what a man driven mad by revenge can do.

[@lorenzoherreros6641]

Batou3 He's alive because Narud/Duran was experimenting on him. So he revived Stukov only to subject him to Hybridization experiments.

Hell, UED proved to be inferior to the Dominion when they arrived and had to loot their tech on the go. But then again, that's probably a strength rather than a weakness. Imagine the implications of even a possibility of the Third Overmind being engineered by a sole survivor from the Slave Broods project somewhere in relative safety, away from this madness. And actually making this Overmind stronger than the first and second ones combined based exclusively on the data from the outcome of the experiment in Koprulu. Those people made some massive innovations in record time, so this is not beyond any one of them.

[@sindra309]

Mabey to use Ouuros as a way to recreate himself more faster?

[@TheKueiJin]

Or maybe Amon was weakened from the war with his kin... the war that left him in that place... Just like Narud said, when they die, they return to that place... Hence it's safe to say that both Ouuros and Amon were heavily wounded and had to return there, neither capable of killing each other, but only to move certain pieces on the board, as they always did... So yes... it makes sense that they aren't both dead... one because he had a fucking forcefield around him, the other because he simply didn't possess enough power to do so... But the pure wrath of Kerrigan, formed and reformed and reformed by all of her experiences. Her will was honed and tested many times, from the first zerg-ification, to the primal transformation...

[@DarknessIsThePath]

That's the main issue, whatever form the Xel'Naga have outside the realm of the void has no impact at all, the only thing Amon would have trouble with after his defeat is coming up with a plan and enough psionic energy so that he can manifest himself physically in the "real realm" essentially, but in the void he and Narud etc suffer no implications of their wounds done to them on their physical bodies outside the void. Plus the void is an extension of Amon's will, which would overpower Ouros sooner or later so once again, makes no sense that he would keep him prisoner, even less sense that Narud, a lesser Xel'Naga is able to keep Ouros prisoner at all.

Well, Egon did invent Mecha-Battle-Carrier-Lords so...

"Tassadar/Ouros sounds like the guy who does Mata Nui and Worf.

[@kaijuhub3937]

All played by Michael Dorn.

[@Soler4485]

The background score for a lot of these cutscenes sounds like the background score for Jak 3 in some spots.

[@TheStarcraftJACKAL]

Anyone get that Balcora Gate feeling when Ulnar opened the portal?

[@jussimursunen716]

Whereas Duran/Narud could mainifest himself as a shapeshifter, he was a lesser Xel'Naga, like the primal Zerg where to Zerg. Remember, Amon needed a host body, so he is one of the gods who can break the cycle (IOW a Xel'Naga from the beginning. Amon was not always cruel and bad, he fell. Like the fallen angels of God are Demons. Dura/Narud is an angle in that regard.

HELLO DURAN

[@GaelicDragon]

This sounds like Worf making Sara an illicit offer.

say goodnight duran.

this is a greta reference to Brood war

"Only a xel'naga can kill the fallen one" Stukov seemed to do pretty well

[@lorenzoherreros6641]

that wasnt amon (the fallen one) that was just a regular xel naga, and the zerg killed thousands of xel naga in the past

[@AbsoluteMongoloid]

@@lorenzoherreros6641 Those Zerg were manipulated by Amon, so it folds back on itself.

[@lorenzoherreros6641]

@@AbsoluteMongoloid those zerg didnt get any buff from being manipulated, so the point remains unchanged

[@AbsoluteMongoloid]

@@lorenzoherreros6641 Who's to say? There's a reason that the Overmind could only be truly killed by Templar energy.

[@lorenzoherreros6641]

the writers of course! The literal official phrase was "Amon unleashed the swarm, and the zerg devoured the xelnaga" Note how it doesnt say "enhanced" zerg, or "powered zerg" or "void fueled zerg". So thats the official fact, the zerg, plain and simply devoured the xel naga, without needing to be xel naga themselves. And yes, there´s a reason that the Overmind had special protections against most forms of damage.... It was the core of Amon´s plan to control the zerg! it was the most important piece of the entire chessboard, a brood of one, made specially to be the most powerful weapon at Amons disposal, and thus, was made very differently to regular zergs. Nonetheless, the fact that the Overmind is a very special organism with special powers and protections doesnt change the fact that the zerg (zerglings, hydralisks and a long etc) devoured the xel naga and killed them by the thousands.

[@Kujakuseki01]

The story suddenly pulls “gateway to the void” out of its ass when its never been established that the void is a place.

[@kovacsattila8993]

0:27 "Such little fate for a templar" what a burn. lamo

[@BoboMagroto26]

Feel like the missing dialogue from Kerrigan about needing help to destroy Amon would be like: "I know you all have a reason to not trust me... but Amon has affected all of us, and like me, you want to make him pay"

[@superfrycook6360]

It turns out that Narud is none other than Duran himself.

[@Batou3]

Something occurred to me. Could it be they planned this since the brood war this whole time?

[@LePopCollectibles]

Redemption for Kerrigan by becoming a Xel'naga & to kill Amon.

[@rfcheong-vv6bi]

[@MrGiselbart]

Nice throwback to Broodwar btw there. Duran in Brood War: "Say goodnight, Stukov." Stukov here: "No, I've come to say goodnight, you son of a bitch."

[@spiritfired]

I find it fucking awesome that random CC spelled out Xel'Naga correctly.

[@soulkeeper007a]

Duran once said,”Say Goodnight.” to Stukov before killing hm in Starcraft. LOL
