Was Raynor right in simping and moving heaven and earth for Kerrigan?

Was Raynor right in simping and moving heaven and earth for Kerrigan? In the end Jimmy got that sweet Terran/Zerg/Xel'naga ass. He lost two good friends saving and helping her.

Yes.

No he couldve killed her and saved everyone a lot of trouble.

Mengsk tried to killed her.

Raynors story in the original game was surprisingly dark. I liked the idea of him as a shell of a man consumed only by revenge. His character worked in wings of liberty.

Story seemed to fall apart and go crazy after wings of liberty.

Well, yeah. Jimmy made a solemn oath to kill Sarah after her betrayal and the death of Phoenix. Then in the WoL he's suddenly all for redeeming a mass murderer Queen of Blades.

People only have a problem with Kerrigan surviving because they can't grasp the fact Starcraft is an inherently amoral setting where character drama is given far more weight than whatever amount of murders a character may have committed. It's not like WoW, where the writing completely collapses when there's factional conflict and the writers had to smear moralfagging and "honor" all over it to hide the cracks.

He swore to kill the QoB and he basically did.

no

I love how Jimmy handled their relationship breakup - short and on point.

Well they give him a little bit of mixed feelings about it in cutscenes, but yeah. I felt it was kind of a cop-out that they find a magic crystal that just cures kerrigan. They clearly thought so too since they then undid it in the very next game.

I liked the story of wings of liberty though. The whole invasion of char was kino working with the dominion and former enemies.

>time to kill this bitch

Yes. I absolutely loved the story in sc2. I really like the main messge, that the power of love triumphs all.
That said, the protoss campaign was so boring. Why the fuck they left that as the final one. So many god awful stealh missions with Zeratul.

>help us executor
only because we hate the zerg more than humans

>I felt it was kind of a cop-out that they find a magic crystal that just cures kerrigan. They clearly thought so too since they then undid it in the very next game.
I didn't like it. General Warfield wasn't impressed too how Kerrigan returned to her old ways.
>I liked the story of wings of liberty though. The whole invasion of char was kino working with the dominion and former enemies.
Agreed. Raynor's speech to troops is an amazing motivation.

Hots mengsk was a special kind of senile. Meanwhile fenix's corpse is now spinning in his grave so fast that the spear of adun is using it to generate energy.

I'm glad I didn't play SC past bw

Fenix LITERALLY wouldn't care. He didn't even care when she betrayed him.

>I absolutely loved the story in sc2. I really like the main messge, that the power of love triumphs all.
Their doomed(or not so doomed) romance was good.

it wasn't even his decision
the plot device required that she be alive so she could stop amon or something?

Not really, but also:
>Yes, because I the writer say so and she was necessary to defeat a bigger evil.

she's the brood whore

They probably look at characters in 2 and take their perceived niceness and general smoothness as an presumed nobility.

No, it was absolutely his decision. People mistake the Overmind's inference of the future as an actual divine prophecy because it's viewed through Zeratul, who assigns excessive religious weight to things.

Brood war from Raynors perspective was a tragedy. All his friends other than Artanis are dead by the end.

Metzen's writing or three warring factions must unite to defeat the bigger evil menace, be it Warcraft 3 or Starcraft 2.

She got her hair back?

Artanis wasn't even friends with Raynor in Brood War. They were acquaintances at best.
Zeratul was still alive.

>Raynors story in the original game was surprisingly dark
The whole of Starcraft 1 was dark as fuck compared to 2, you can barely even consider them the same story.
Metzen said he wrote a lot of SC1 when he was in a dark place or some shit but wasn't when he wrote SC2, which basically meant either he can't write for shit when he's happy or it was an excuse for having the writing outsourced to retards at nuBlizzard.
So much cool shit got retconned to fit their shitty new narratives and shoehorned macguffins they needed to desperately further the inane plot.

Even the races got fucking cartoonified. Terran went from backwater space hicks to Space Marines, Zerg went from strange disgusting aliens to space bugs, and Protoss went from mysterious psychic monsters to Draenei. I will especially never forgive what they did to High Templar. Pic fucking related.
Oh yeah and turns out the Xel'Naga are actually giant squidfaced space GODS of UNKNOWABLE POWER
Fuck off.

Starcraft to me will forever be the dark and despondant cliffhanger of most main characters being dead while Raynor impotently swears revenge on his former love interest after losing everything that he cares about. Not the fucking fanfic fairytale that was the plot of Starcraft fucking 2.

No, she's a big ugly space god but she's going to mind rape him for 70 or so years to trick him into thinking he had a good life with her.

I don't like how he wrote the death knights into wc3

Yeah and both of them are Protoss. Other than Raynor and Mengsk, did any human characters even survive to the end?

The pic in OP is a mental projection.
But yeah she can shift her appearance into whatever she wants after winning so she can actually become even more physically perfect for Jimmy than she already is.
Kerrigan wasn't even a natural redhead to begin with.

No.

maybe one faction survived

No because it was a forced romance that literally hack writers came up with to drive the story of Starcraft instead of it being a cool Starship Troopers inspired game of white redneck badass humans fighting weird biological Alien-tier monstrosities and weird Predator-tier technological freaks. Instead we got a penis into pussy story where the Mary Sue Kerrigan is the ultimate smartest bestest badass bitch and everyone simps for her and she's really good at the end.

>playing a science fiction game for the human characters
Do starcraftfags really?
But the answer is no, unless you provisionally count Kerrigan. That's why they had to create an all new cast for the sequel.

Jimmy also got a hair transplant in SC2, older men often do it when they have a young wife.

I wish they made StarCraft an RPG/RTS single player game like a typical Japanese studio would. But nope. pic related showed promise but that half added it and never followed up or released more.

Starship Troopers outstayed its welcome and the UED are one of the worst parts of the game while the redneck humans did nothing in the original game besides getting destroyed and infighting.

protoss saved their asses

>Starcraft: Ghost never ever
FUCK

>Protoss went from mysterious psychic monsters
False. The Protoss were always TECHNOLOGICALLY advanced, that makes it seem like they are psychically gifted, but it's really technology doing it.

there was infighting in each faction in the original SC

Yeah, she always was a redhead. I'm glad Blizzard made Sarah a total babe and she lost a long face from SC1.

hated the whole thing and sorry I experienced it.

thank God

They were wasted potential.

Yeah, she dyes her hair. That's not natural red.
She may be big but she's not ugly and has become the universe's fertility goddess. Raynor may be in a bit of comatose state while his new god wife is milking him for his genetic essence to spread it across the galaxy into new lifeforms, but can you really argue that he isn't happy?

blizzard stories are fucking terrible after warcraft 2 since diablo 2 wasnt even made by blizzard lmao

Yeah agree with a lot of this. The high templar thing is just another symptom of the kid friendly style they went for.

They should've just remastered the engine and gone with a wide screen, upscaled 2d sprite game similar in style to the original, but with tonnes of new features and bigger maps, more units, so on. But the kiddy friendly 3d look didn't really work for me. You cant even move the camera around that much so what's the point of it being 3d?

The Protoss were ruined really. The Zerg winning was the perfect ending to the Brood War. And I liked a lot of what they did in wings of liberty. Especially the opening stuff.

There was also an idea of life being cheap in brood war. 20 guys might die at the drop of a hat. Then it's almost becoming a moba in sc2

Duke and Dugalle would like a word with you.

they went full anime

No, but it was completely understandable why

That's an ass worth committing galactic warcrimes and genocide for
Too bad he's too much of a pleb to enjoy some hot zerg pussy and she muuuust be human or he can't get into it

Ultimately, it seems Amon was right.

>a cool Starship Troopers inspired game of white redneck badass humans fighting weird biological Alien-tier monstrosities and weird Predator-tier technological freaks.
Confederate rednecks were great in SC1 and the WoL.

True, but the Zerg and Protoss were able to actually get wins against each other. The local Terrans just lost and kept losing, then the UED showed up, got some wins and then lost because of sheer retardation by the protagonists.

This is was all jusk a WH 40k rip off.

Both blizzard and the sci-fi/fantasy genre as a whole have overdone this idea that any group that defaults to being more moral/harmonious than the ‘mortals’ of the setting will eventually be written to become tyrannical, completing the trifecta alongside that any group that’s smarter will become fatally closer minded and any group more ancient/powerful will inexplicably become worthless and need saving by said mortals.

Incompetence at its peak. When you FINISH a game, you don't bury it, you release it. Oh well, at least someone leaked it i think.

fuck off wc3 was kino

>That's an ass worth committing galactic warcrimes and genocide for
Agreed.

Duke and Dugalle are very dead, largely due to their own strategic incompetence.

soulless and edgy

What do you mean?

Fuck GW, it's their loss.

Let there be a source

>local Terrans just lost and kept losing
They were fighting things they literally had no knowledge of and were learning what they were, which was supposed to make you feel suspenseful and curious what they were.

Nah i liked sc2 designs as well
Also WoL was kino

I will be always be mad about Aldaris
he was 100% right about Kerrigan, and I think he was the only character that actually admitted his mistake when the plot point revealed they needed a new strategy against the Cerebrates

this makes me harder than real porn ever has

But you missed out on this banger (cover)

I only got as far as the first StarCraft2 bit.

You, terrible taste, human posterior, excellent curvature, pleasant, soft texture.

I wanted a sequel and the doomer shit in Brood War was garbage and unsatisfying. You're a pleb stuck in a phase.

One easily forgets how most of the protoss were retard warrior-monks with politics so retarded that it makes modern earth politicians look sane in comparison. I actually like what SC2 did on the protoss front, even if the later parts felt a bit too corny overall for my tastes.

Bad writing killed them because they had to make Kerrigan and Durant super cool badasses.

Yeah, I hated the jedi-ification of the protoss. When zealots die they are being teleported away back to medical facilities, not becoming one with the force.

I mean did anyone at blizzard even sit and read their own lore? The only thing that makes terrains better is they unlocked the power of the atom which the protoss either never did or had disdain or other reasons for ignoring.
