You clearly haven't played Starcraft 2. Her character was completely ruined in the games.

She's a good guy now for no good reason other than I WAS A PUPPET ALL ALONG and will team up with Protoss and Terran to fight Xel'Naga boogeyman.

Keep in mind last game Raynor spent the whole game trying to save her and turn her human. He did and she was human for most of this game.

Despite the fact that he made a speech about wanting to kill her at the end of Brood War

>> No.2717117

>>2717114
And that, she betrayed him at least 4 times, killed 95% of his friends and Protoss friends like Fenix, killed the Dark Templar etc etc.

It's hard to believe it's the same writer for both games.

>>2717114
Thats not THAT bad, I mean zeratul did tell him it was either kill Kerrigan and doom everyone to dying or have her save the galaxy. The bad part comes in HotS when Raynor just forgives everything instead of grudgingly accepting Kerrigan or getting out of her way or hating her, he just tag teams Mengsk with her.

It's also weird that she didn't love Jimmy when she was infested but she didn't want to kill him outright and let him escape 1 mission. Now all the sudden she's head over heels for him.

Zero percent. For the entire game of HOTS you play as her turning good and trying to save Raynor.

Sonic starting going downhill around Adventure but was far from ruined. The games that came afterwards in the "modern" era made sure it was tho.

I agree when it comes to the quality of the games but in terms of characters design he definitely got his shit fucked up with Adventure. I hate the lankyness and the green eyes, makes him look like a tool.

It's literally the exact same thing they did with the Warcraft orcs (with the Burning Legion being their Xel'Naga) in space.


I hate Andross' stupid accent in SFA. None of the characters in the series have any characteristics outside one or two traits, but this guy's accent just ruined him.

Left side is Cloud with Zack's memories.

Right side is Cloud after existential crisis.

Further proof that Zack was cooler than Cloud.

Right is Dissidia, a modern game that fucked up the character

Here's Cloud post "existential crisis" fucking up Sephiroth, escaping the meteor crater by doing a one-handed pull-up while holding Tifa and generally not being a bitch.

The writing killed her stone dead, her and Raynor loving eachother knowing they could never be together was the charm of those 2 characters. Now Raynor is willing to fuck her infested pussy and Kerrigan will let him now because she can love him again.

Fucking stupid.

Except. . .That's not what happened at all?
Wasn't the entire point of it to taunt that they got to the point they thought they could finally be together, only for Kerrigan to infest herself again and the two realize that they truly CAN'T be together due to vastly different destinies?

And the end of HotS Kerrigan gave a final proper goodbye to Jim and then flew away because her planet needed her or whatever.
