I don't think it's wrong to pick up romantic vibes from Raynor/Kerrigan in SC1, because I got them too, but what I liked about their relationship in SC1 was how it wasn't the pure melodrama it became in the sequel, which we're already seeing in the intro cutscene. It's fairly obvious they had a thing for each other in the OG Terran campaign, possibly even slept together, but to me it read as just that: two people who were believably kinda into each other, not ~*~TRUE LOVE~*~ to span the lifetime of the universe. I can't really go into detail because of spoilers, but pretty much all of my issues with their relationship in SC2 come back to that.

I particularly hate how the prophecy turns Kerrigan into a completely worthless "villain". The idea of her going all "lol nothing matters" could work in a vacuum I guess, but like... why is she gloating about how the prophecy says the universe is doomed while simultaneously trying to keep anyone from reading it? If she's convinced she's gonna die anyway, what is her motivation for doing literally anything anymore beyond  ? And most importantly, why are we supposed to care about her being the big bad if she's not actually the big bad?It could maybe work if Kerrigan was somehow in league with the Xel'Naga, or helping them return ala Saren in Mass Effect, but as it stands, Kerrigan is no longer a character with any believable goals--just a plot device that we're only fighting because The Prophecy Said But Thou Must. It's lazy as hell and completely dismantles one of the cooler characters Blizzard created.

Didn't the Pondering show us that the Overmind infested Kerrigan with the express purpose of creating an agent that could act outside of whatever was ~*corrupting*~ it? Kerrigan actually being under the control of the big bad the whole time doesn't just fail to make sense in the context of SC1, it makes no sense in the context of this game.

It's nothing compared to the butchering of Kerrigan's character, but I find it hilarious that despite having a free ride on a gleaming space station, Raynor still hasn't bothered to shower or change out of his sweat-stained shirt.

I feel like I'm already having trouble wrapping my head around the idea of a world where might makes right and the only law is consuming others to absorb them into yourself and thereby grow stronger... but also (judging from the mission preview) it just so happens to have a designated Proving Grounds for the anticipated Chosen One to be Tested to gain the true power of the planet. This is gonna be really stupid, isn't it?
