>killing literally billions of people and wiping out entire planets is okay if you are a woman that got slighted once

What the actual fuck were they thinking?
>>
Not a white man => innocent
>>
>>724113451
was kerrigan supposed to be a mulatto? it felt like her skin tone was different every time she was shown
>>
>>724113535
She was clearly white at first, I think, but they made her more brown-coded with the infestation
>>
>>724113535
she got more brown the more evil she was, just like IRL
>>
>>724113403
Shes so powerful and instrumental to the survival of the whole universe that the that the notion of "ok" kind of loses meaning, OP. The problem lies more withhin the fact that James Raynor decided to simp for her no matter what

Only ok if you are a very cute woman.
I love HOTS campaign and seeing Kerrigan slowly becoming full dere for Raynor.

Ginger+dyslexia.

>>724113403
I don’t think anyone thinks Kerrigan is a good person. She’s clearly in the wrong
>>
>>724114740
>>raynor just forgives her
But that's because Raynor is a fucked up case of a human too.
>>humanity and its various factions seem totally content with her continued existence
It was thought that she could be beneficial.

Otherwise it's still made clear that she is a fucking monster.
>>
>>724114740
>>humanity and its various factions seem totally content with her continued existence

Wasnt Mengsk the majority of Terran forces? and they sure as shit werent okay with her being alive

Raynor and his simps were like a small faction of terrorist rebels IIRC

kerrigan was possessed by an evil alien entity
why are people ignoring this?

In all fairness, I dont get why Kerrigan turning back into bug form made him seethe so much. Nothing really changed aside from her powering up. Maybe it makes the sex more awkward?
>>
>>724115257
we spent 15 hours or so getting trying to get her back to ginger mode and she went back to bug 3 years later
>>
>>724115374
Still the same person inside and zerg pussy probably feels better as well. Plus, imagine how her tongue tastes
>>
>>724115248
>kerrigan was possessed by an evil alien entity

yeah its called estrogen
>>
Abathur was the best thing that come out from HOTS and isn't even close
>>
>>724116243
That essence obsessed primal Zerg grew on me too. It was weirdly innocent
>>
>>724114497
For me it's just Nova the end.
>>
>>724113403
When do you kill billions in the campaign?
>>
>>724115248
She committed more murders AFTER she was de-zerged and freed from Amon. Why are you ignoring that?

>slaughters millions of protoss warning their friends about the queen of blades returning
>slaughters and dooms entire planets just for working under mengsk
>kills millions on korhal during her invasion
>kills the entirety of Warfield's forces on char, and hypocritically spares ONE dropship of marines, as if that makes up for it

I went through this whole trilogy, she's an irredeemable bitch.

>WoL is about Jimmy mucking abiut and kinda doing a rebellion, sorta, until he starts thinking about Kerrigan
>HotS is WOMAN MOMENT the Campaign
>LotV is Artanis personally deciding to fight God and winning after building a crowd to cheer him on while he does it
The Epilogue was completely unnecessary, they should have just had Artanis beat Amon to death on his own.

Raynors story was cool outside of the simping. WoL had the best unlock progression too

So how come SC Ghost got canceled?

Just speculation but I'm betting that WoW exploding into a money printer combined with the game getting delayed through the generation change from 6th to 7th killed it

The flimsy writing of starcraft aside
It's retarded to think that a character is implied to be good or even redeemable just because they're the main character. You're right, she did not have to massacre all those people to dethrone Mengsk, it's just a weird part of the story that you have to take on faith actually makes sense. But yeah she is just a person, the Zerg is much more powerful with a human psionic in charge and that's why she's the prophesied lisan al ghaib the universe needs to get the good ending. Bait OP I know

And then I realized why, voiced by the actor that played Q on Star Trek

>Abathur is 100x more based than always-on-the-rag genocidal Kerrigan
>Alarak is 100x more based than goody two shoes Artanis

What did Blizz mean by this?
>>
Heart of the Swarm is trash, both in story and gameplay. It was right at the peak of Blizzard's asshurt over dota, and they made every fucking mission focused around Kerrigan instead of her army. Kerrigan is an awful character, Raynor is a retarded simp, and Mengsk is an evil caricature of how he was in sc1. The only thing worse than HotS is the LotV epilogue, which is the single worst thing Blizzard ever shat out. WoL and the main story of LotV were fairly decent.
>>
>>724123263
Artanis is too much of an optimistic moralfag but he's still a gigachad. Don't lump him in with the others.
>>
>>724123263
all i could think of playing WoL is that I wanted to play Tychus' campaign

Artanis is great though. He was the rock-solid leader that the Protoss needed and he stood his ground well enough that Alarak respected him.

not trying to be edgy or contrarian, what exactly did Mengsk do wrong?

The Zerg might as well be demons from the eyes of humanity.
>>
>>724116190
great post Jay
>>
>>724123263
Alarak and Artanis can only achieve success balancing each other out. Alarak would have got himself BTFO in that emperors duel thing if they played it his way
>>
>>724126076
Abandoning Kerrigan at Tarsonis but he couldn't have known how valuable a piece Kerrigan was to the Overmind. I can't remember how culpable he was for Moebius/Narud's hybrid shit but it seemed contrived that Mengsk was involved at all.
>>
>>724126076
The charges?
He was too based.
>>
>>724126076
He declared war on the Protoss without establishing diplomatic relations and he used the Zerg as a weapon despite their unstoppable nature.

Aside from double crossing Raynor and Kerrigan, nothing. Literally. HOTS has the worst case of rooting for the villain in any videogame
You can say he's evil because he was a dictator but there even was some freedom of speech under his rule.
>>
>>724127583
This is the real answer. Only a retard wouldnt ally with the Protoss against a insectoid feral race that wants to consume both your species for biomass
>>
>>724128056
If in the real world we were made to choose between studying feral space insects or contacting an intelligent space race we would 100% go with the bugs.
You cant trust superintelligent aliens to be mutualistic. That's actually amazing science fiction writing.

>>724113403
Jim R*ynor murdered Tychus for this btw
>>
>>724113535
This is what she started off in Wings of Liberty but at some point changed that.
Kind of like how the Medic was way more attractive than the crackhead version they ended up making.
>>
>>724126076
>what exactly did Mengsk do wrong?
He turned into a failed lobotomy patient in SC2.
>>
Is there a lore reason why broodmothers/sc2 queens look more protoss-like? Or is it blizz just being lazy?
>>
>>724128593
thank god hes burning in hell now and Tychus is sipping mint juleps with big titty bimbos in Heaven

Using more Protoss DNA. Abathur mentions this

>Declared war on the Protoss solely to prevent the Templar from exposing his shit
In the first mission of WoL you see an entire town beibg rounded up to be shipped off as slaves, with Dominion guards gunning down an attempted escapee.
>>
>>724128832
Amon's Xel'naga found the Zerg on Zerus and changed them to be the counterpart of the Protoss. That alone might be it, they're kind of two adopted siblings, transformed by the same hands. But there's also the fact that the swarm have been eating protoss for a long time, and Protoss are the perfect species to assimilate when you need to make commanders like broodmothers.
>>
>>724129616
Their eyes being glowy like that without pupils is about them being psionics btw, humans get that too.
>>
>>724128832
Yeah its pretty deliberate they have the psionic attribute ingame and and are the only zerg unit capable of communicating with other species.
>>
>>724113621
That's funny when you think about it.
>>
>>724113535
Just a character design thing. She was a pale ginger with blue eyes, she just ended up losing her paleness when her character design changed. Not everything is blackwashing, or wasn't, back then

>>724126076
They were going to have him going full on into the hybrid experiments so he could maintain power but playing straight into Duran's hand but they cut that plot line so he's just a big meenie head who once read Machiavelli's the Prince

i thought she just got zerged.

how come she turned into a migger

It's obviously not just a last minute redesign since they wouldnt forget her race 3 years later, specially considering how much thought everything else has.

My headcanon is that dezerging leaves leftover melanin + the braids from her queen of blades phase

Maybe the faggots at Blizzard should not had been drinking the breast milk of their employees. Forcing senior talent and staff to leave with a severance pay. That way the company wouldn't have to save face with making characters gay, and female characters untouchable.

I mean, just a thought.

I really like HotS as a campaign but that's probably just because Abathur is so fucking cool. It probably wouldn't have been nearly as interesting to go through without him
>>
>>724134359
Well don't worry, the one novel made after the Amon shit has made him a villain because he's still trying to make the zerg do zerg stuff so he remains interesting
>>
Wasn't she latino-black mix with dreads in the original?
>>
>>724134141
Honestly almost the whole cast of 80s Star Trek is underrated as fuck. Even Data is an elite actor IMO
