StarCraft/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Genius Bonus]]: The reason the female ghosts are more powerful than the male ones is due to a theory in genetics and parapsychology that if [[Psychic Powers]] existed, they would most likely appear in women first.

* [[Goddamned Bats]]: Early worker units become this, especially Probes, who can warp in buildings anywhere instantly and move on to keep running. Terrans can use ranged Marines to shoot them down, zerg and protoss have melee units, so no such luck with them.

* [[Magnificent Bastard]]:

** While Raynor himself is not this trope from a narrative standpoint, he is considered this in-universe by General Horace Warfield:

** A straighter example would be Arcturus Mengsk.

** Infested Kerrigan. Most of her success came from the fact that everyone underestimated what she was capable of. Kerrigan even notes this herself.

* [[Memetic Mutation]]:

'''MY WIFE FOR HIRE!''' }}

** Refering to all Protoss as Brotoss.

* [[Mondegreen]]: Some of the unit quotes seem to fall into this.

** Other variations, such as "[[Career Killer|MY LIFE FOR HIRE!]]"

* [[Moral Event Horizon]]:

** Kerrigan, when she killed Fenix and Duke after they helped her. And she tortured Zeratul mentally.

** Arguably, DuGalle {{spoiler|when he sent Duran to kill Stukov}}. Note that the arguable portion stems from how {{spoiler|he was pretty much duped into doing it.}}

* [[Most Annoying Sound]]:

* [[Most Wonderful Sound]]:

'''''"Nuclear Launch Detected"''''' (at least, when it's yours) }}

** The sound of Interceptors launching is nearly a worless [[Pre-Ass-Kicking One-Liner]].

* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAKJ4XKSKFw Terran 1]. The second part in particular is spectacular.

* [[Ear Worm]]: Radio Free Zerg.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: The zerg Cerebrates have a surprisingly strong fandom for giving the mindless swarm a lot of personality.

** Even now that ''Starcraft II'' is out and they're on to developing the expansions, there's still fans hoping Fenix will be revived a second time, or even infested, and come back for another showing.
