You think her redemption arc is lame and forced? How would you write her then, smart guy?

I wouldn't give her a redemption arc. I'd just have her be a pawn in a bigger game and she gets justifiably killed by Raynor and Tychus.

No redemption. Kerrigan is the main villain.

The better way would have been to have Raynor try to redeem her exactly as he did, then having her kill him, and continue to be an increasing problem and ultimately the main bad guy after the asspull creators.

Oh I don't know. Fucking have her be how she was in Brood War and not force her through a redemption arc that doesn't make any sense.

No, because her ascension was equal in level. She's a complete Mary Sue in Brood Wars.

You mean the unbeatable Queen Mary Sue that hasn't has a single weakness and is more powerful than anyone and anything, including a 1000+ year old Protoss psyker?

Better than a complete retcon you baboon. Surely you can't be saying that SC2's story was a good outcome.

Retard, this entire setting is based on retcons from Day 1. Go and look up the official website pre-release, for example - the Protoss weren't an unknown entity, and have been in a cold war with humanity for decades before the Zerg arrived, to give just one example.

There was never any consistency to the story or setting.

There were also multiple retcons in-between games, expansions, novels etc.

Bext example? The Taldarim. Those fuckers have 3 completely different origins.

Only the games constantly use material from those. For example the fact that Kerrigan was the one who murdered Mengsk's parents. For another the Tal'darim as a whole. Or the Conclave being murdered in-between StarCraft and Brood War.

Don't you have to have an arc to have an arc? They just randomly changed their mind. Poor writing.

It really is that simple. Blizzard fucked both Starcraft and Warcraft by insisting on cartoonish hero characters, instead of letting the conflict itself be the center of focus.

I think everything would be mostly fine if you just skipped the epilogue and super saiyan Kerrigan.
You could keep everything else, upto and including Amon.
The sole purpose of 'redeeming' Kerrigan should have been to prevent her and swarm from being controlled by Amon. The base campaign of LotV already ends with Amon being defeated. You don't need the epilogue. Would it be perfect? No, but it would avoid the biggest problems.

kerrigan "arc" made my head hurt
It's like watching a WW2 movie where 2/3rds of the movie are dedicated to the life and death struggle of a soldier on the front line and the last 1/3rd is
>the soldier enters the fuhrerbunker in berlin
>storms into Hitler's room
>Hitler's gun is jammed
>Stalin and FDR's ghost burst into the room, Stalin looks into the camera and says
>perhaps we are the world war too
>both channel their psychic energy into Hitler
>Hitler ascends into godhood to fight the biblical God
>jews start worshipping Hitler

This absolutely, it's fun in the RTS format, for the expendable grunt warriors, aren't they called "poor bloody infantry"? Sometimes that works better than everyone being superheroes.
