…is awe-inspiring, badass, and cool.
At least she would be, if not for the fact she has a very large, bubbly, naked butt, with a visible buttcrack even.
Seriously this just ruins the imagery of a Xel’naga-powered Kerrigan when her naked @$$ is so lovingly displayed throughout the mission every time she faces up.
Not to mention that the road to this is freaking weird and the mission is dull as hell.
It’s more than a little obnoxious that you get a long shot of it in the cutscenes as well, I guess… as titillation? I guess I’m not the target audience but I don’t really get how it could be anything but detrimental
titillation? I can say that it is not very original and it seems more like a budget reduction product, but titillation? would not be my answer the idea of naked kerrigan is not titillation?but gives the sensation of being before a deity of nature such as meeting magic beutiful creature or in Especially because they are pushing us to put ourselves in Raynor’s shoes basically seeing something overwhelming and beautiful .how to see an angel the idea is not sexual is that you exalt by “perfection”, the sexual arousal does not cross my mind, I guess I am a romantic
If we can get over the fact that we’re turning a genocidal maniac into a god, it’s still just a blatant rip off of Jean Grey Phoenix.
PS: long time no see, welcome back
I think the problem here is buildup, though.
It’s all just feel force like they want us to like Kerrigan too much.
Yeah, gotta say, even where I like the way the SCII storyline uses Kerrigan as a character, her design - from the beginning - is just… atrocious.
Her StarCraft: Remastered design is what Zerg-ified Kerrigan (whether Primal or otherwise) should look like: unsettling, queasy, alien.
But in StarCraft II, she has high heels as the Queen of Blades. Like… why? Why does she have to have a sexualized design?
Aesthetically, she should occupy an unnerving liminal space between the disquieting and the revolting. But, no. Blizzard just had to make her sexy. It’s ridiculous.
Still, it’s hardly new to video games. As wonderful as, say, the Mass Effect trilogy’s characters are, some of its female characters’ designs are hilariously ridiculous. Samara’s neckline. Miranda Lawson. etc.
I think we’ll be seeing less of that nonsense in coming years, but it’s always jarring in what otherwise pretends to basically be a space opera.
I liked her look in SC1 where she was just…ugly. You know, what you expect of an infested human.
Yeah, for real, Gradius. And like I said, I think her StarCraft: Remastered look is great. It’s so damn… green. Really looks infested. Not like in SCII where it’s like she’s actually wearing a “Sexy Queen of Blades” Halloween costume over her real Zerg appearance.
Agree with that. The change between Infested Kerrigan’s SC old/remastered look to the Queen of Blades’ SCII look always bothered me.
Should’ve keep the base “greeny human-zerg hybrid” (with some armor parts where needed) that suited her just fine, maybe improve on it, not turn her into a “purple femme fatale with some alien parts”. And let’s not forget she has no chitin/carapace on her most feminine attributes…
I remember when Samariyu drew those alt designs for Xel’naga Kerrigan. Those were pretty great. Alas, lost to dead forum.
