I think it's still different. Stukov was simply re-animated and infested. In Kerrigan's case the proccess struck my as being more 'refined.' She was completely remade on a cellular level. Not only that but she's apparently continuing to 'evolve'. Any attempt to reverse the process now, even by means of a nanotech handwave would not make for good lore. I think Metzen even admitted on a past lore panel that Stukov's resurrection was more or less an ass-pull; one he'd expressed regret overQuote:

I watched a lore interview with Metzen were he said he was very pleased with the story ending, but offcorse couldn't go deeper into it. I think they are planning on something cool.
Just curious, why does everyone hate the idea of Kerrigan being human?
If I'm not mistaken , one of the final trailers for Wrath of the Lich King revealed a slight bit of vulnerability in Arthas just before he became a raid boss and after. I thought that was an interesting touch to the story.
Besides the different character and story, if they did this with Kerrigan they would have to de infest her and that would undo the importance of the infestation in the first place. In warcraft you can slip in ghosts and visions and stuff but that wouldn't fit in Starcraft.Quote:

I hope she dies, even if it is an "unjust" death or something.
Arthas did indeed have some vulnrability in his death. Even after all he's done, even after fully embracing his nature at the end of Rise of the Lich King, I found his death quite meaningful and that shard of remaining humanity not out of place.
Kerrigan however, if we're making comparisions to Warcraft, seems more akin to Sylvanas-regretful of what she is at first (see Queen of Blades) but coming to fully appreciate and accept what she is by at least the end of the Brood War. Unlike Arthas, she's pretty much made a full transition, so I think it would be awkward rather than appropriate for her to revert in mind and body. And considering that I assume the zerg will still be around over the course of Legacy of the Void, I doubt she'll be dying or reverting at the end of Heart of the Swarm.
I guess that all makes a bit more sense.
@Hawki I thought that ending scene with Arthas was pretty awesome :P
I'm very curious to see how this "Kerrigan Catalyst" thing plays out in the SC2 trilogy.
The same thing happened to Stukov. Just because he's called "Infested Stukov" doesn't mean he had a little parasite in his brain. Kerrigan was also known as "Infested Kerrigan" in the game.Quote:

It works. It just has to be done right.
