Line 43:
*** Zerg players, however, [[Nostalgia Filter|fondly remember the old Mutalisk portrait]]. "I like his butt better than his face" indeed.
** Upon finding Kerrigan after she's been infested, Raynor is disgusted with himself, as on some level he finds her new form just as alluring as her human form, and maybe ''more''.
* [[Strangled Byby the Red String]]: A lot of fans see the love story between Raynor and Kerrigan as this.
* [[Voodoo Shark]]: {{spoiler|Raszagal was sympathetic to Kerrigan for no reason because...she was mind controlled? How? When? It was explained in a few non-game sources.}}
* [[The Woobie]]:
Line 65:
* [[Foe Yay]]: Between Tassadar and Kerrigan, with frequent antagonism.
* [[Germans Love David Hasselhoff]]: They don't call it the "national sport of South Korea" for nothing.
* [[Idiot Plot]]: ''Brood War''. If a couple of characters had spoken up before their deaths, Kerrigan's entire plan would have been ruined. Also, leaving the UED in complete control of a mature Overmind, and thus in complete control of the entire zerg Swarm, including Kerrigan...[[Rooting for Thethe Empire|That would have been just awful.]]
** Well, it's pretty heavily implied that they were gonna use the Zerg to wipe out the Protoss. Something Kerrigan would probably do on her own, though.
* [[Offscreen Moment of Awesome]]: When Raynor decided to part ways with Mengsk, did he just run off to some other planet to sulk? No, he ''stole Mengsk's freaking flagship'', the ''Hyperion'', and somehow got away with it, apparently leaving General Duke tied up when he failed to defend the ship from Raynor. Unfortunately this is only mentioned in the novelizations who only describe it in a brief flashback.
* [[Porting Disaster]]: Starcraft 64 is generally considered this way, which is unfortunate, because it really was pretty damn good. Being able to control 18 units at a time rather than 12 is a pretty major jump. On the down side, most of the voice acting and FMV were removed, something expected for that console. The cartridges simply didn't have the amount of space needed for all that.
* [[Rooting for Thethe Empire]]: The United Earth Directorate overthrew Mengsk and temporarily dissolved the Dominion, enslaved the Zerg and took control of them, and used their power afterwards to try and take down Kerrigan's Brood...why was everyone so opposed to these guys again? Okay, granted they come on behalf of the same government that exiled your ancestors to this sector of space, but still, they took out two of the major evil powers in the sector and probably would have taken out Kerrigan too if Raynor and Fenix hadn't helped her. If they had stopped to consider negotiating a deal with the UED, which the UED would have at least considered since DuGalle and Stukov are [[Reasonable Authority Figure|Reasonable Authority Figures]], Raynor and Protoss should have been helping them!
** Until you see their bases in one of the Zerg campaign missions and realize that they are infesting their own men.
*** It kind of makes sense since they are facists which is the base type of government Nazi Germany was based on. Plus, they unleashed the zerg on a terran colony and abandoned it (though word of that may not have spread due to a lack of survivors...) It is implied that they still consider the people in the Korpulu sector to be inferior. Sure they were doing "good work," but try telling that to the families of the people who died in the initial attacks...
