No. You can't compare the great honorable warrior and Dark Templar Prelate Zeratul to the shitty tamtrum-snot-nosed bipolar genocidal Prince Arthas. Arthas is more like Kerrigan.
Arthas is not great character compared to zeratul, they are completly diffrent. One has a quest for power and revange and one sacrifices himself for others, not looking at himself at all. Dont be dump pls.
You know if Zeratul didn't find the dark moon, he'll depart Char and rejoin with Artanis forces to strike Char Aleph. Upon their defeat and returns to Shakuras, Zeratul would done his formal attire (Dark Prelate skin on HotS) and lead the Nerazim faction to prepare the invasion on Aiur and then invade Char to kill Kerrigan. But since the Dark Moon event unfold, he exiles himself from the survivor group (I believe it's Karass the High Templar on the next mission briefing) and go on mad prophecy quest. Then the survivor would return to Shakuras and brings the news of their failed attempt to recover the Matriarch, and that the Matriarch was mind controlled which leads Zeratul to kill her. Without Zeratul returning to Shakuras, final words of Raszagal to ask Zeratul to lead their people was never fulfilled, and the general populace only know that the Matriarch dies by Zeratul hand. This leads Vorazun to hate him and make the Daelaam outlaw Zeratul for failing to save the Matriarch and kill her.
@@Dekline25 Well, there was that and the fact that it was him who gave away the location of Aiur to the Overmind by killing Zasz, so most Protoss considered him responsable for the resulting invasion.

"Mobilize all my broods on the surface" Boy I sure am glad that won't come back around to hurt her by only leaving a few select defenders on the orbital platform
Let's give it to Kerrigan, the UED was strong because they were large and attacked each faction separately. Kerrigan managed to unite both the zerg, the protoss, and the terran of the sector. All of that while weakening each one simmultaneously. She knew only the Kuprulu sector together could destroy the UED. By then it was too weak to do anything, and so was everybody else.
I am mad at Kerrigan because she killed Fenix. She didnt need to since Fenix only interested in going into large scale of battles alongside his protoss brethren. He had nothing personal with Kerrigan, unlike Dukie and Mengsk.
It’s more like all other races allied with her without really of a plan after the UED defeat or not even expecting of being betrayed ... which narratively speaking sound forced and stupid, especially from the Protoss and Mengsk side
@@ExecutorNral it was necessary to establish her as a pure evil character, since killing duke, or even aldaris wasn t so shicking to the audiencie. I think the biggest proble scft 2 story has is not fully aknowledging her actions here, which makes her redemption really inconsistent
You gotta feel bad for Zeratul at this point. He inadvertently caused the Invasion of Aiur by accidentally leaking its location and now he has to kill his own tribe's leader and possible maternal figure. Despite being an experienced Nerazim he unwittingly caused his people's decline twice. At the end of BW he is a scarred from his failures and terrified of what he saw on the dark moon. In the Dark Templar Saga he learns to overcome his grief for killing the Matriarch and uncovers unsaid truths about the Xel'naga (and the "energy creatures" that keep popping up but are never mentioned in-game) and is anticipating for his own "judgement day" from his peers on Shakuras. Too bad SC2 leaned too hard on some vague prophecy and degraded him to Medivh 2.0.

Indeed, Zeratul and Kerrigan _would_ meet again, but little did either of them know at this point that it would once again be to Kerrigan's benefit, as Zeratul leads the de-infested Kerrigan to Zerus to restore her Zerg powers and to achieve a new, Primal form.
There is one thing about this mission that I never understood. What did Zeratul ever do to Kerrigan so she would take revenge on him? Unless there's something in the novels or in the cut missions, the campaigns never show anything Zeratul did to warrant revenge. If anything, Kerrigan was committing ruthless massacre and backstabbing left and right. And yet she wants to take revenge on someone who never wronged her and mostly struggled for survival for pretty much the entire time of Starcraft's plot.
He along with Tassadar made her look like an idiot when they pulled the diversion into killing Zasz stunt back in SC1, she's just very petty like that.
Not really, no. In Brood War she only cares about power, in WoL she's become nihilistic and her invasion is a half-hearted attempt to gather the keystone, in HotS she only cares about revenge and Jim, and in LotV fighting the omnicidal alien god is just the default choice.

It's funny that the decision to send most of her forces for Razsagal could have cost her her life on Omega. Was there a reason to go so hard on the Matriarch and Zeratul?
There really wasn't. The Overmind was dead, so she got what she needed from the Nerazim. A lot of Kerrigan's actions in Brood War were irrational and done for the evulz.
Mutas are really bad in SC1 because they have this horrific debuff of making the player go deaf and have night terrors whenever they are used. This passive makes a traditionally powerful unit into a nigh useless unit.

That’s a good catch. I’ve wondered this as well. I think it was a laps in the story. I don’t think they intended for her to be taken at the end in the last mission.
It was just a local Arbiter Recall, that's why they are able to pull one over Kerrigan. A longer distance travel should take longer, with preparations to get on spaceships and all.
@@amplesstratleholm7609 What I mean is they act in this briefing as if Zeratul taking her was something new that needed to be reported to Kerrigan by Duran while she was the only one of the two that was actually present when that happened, it's as if they didn't intend for that last bit to be part of the previous cutscene when they gave the script to the VA but then decided to put it in after the fact.

All the way back in SC2, Zeratul and Tasadar completely owned Kerrigan and made her look like a complete dumbass in front of the entire Zerg Swarm. She fell for their pathetic diversion, and lead to death of a cerebrate (and revelation of location of Aiur). Overmind was so embarrassed by her, that he basically grounded her on char, while the rest of the swarm invaded Aiur. Despite the fact, that she was originally supposed to be a secret weapon against the Protoss.
@@KohuGaly I could see her being mad at Tassadar for that embarrassment, but Zeratul wasn't even in that mission! Certainly doesn't seem enough to put him on the same level as Mengsk...
@@Marconius6 Queen of Karens never really got the chance to get back at Tassadar for tricking her, so Zeratul became the scapegoat for her petty hatred.
