Well, it is now. It was science fiction at one point.

*mumbles* Stupid Amon/prophecy...stupid Narud....

Unless they make some MAJOR adjustments in LotV, or just say HotS was never canon.

Nah, they were heading a fantasy direction in WoL. Primarily where it concerned Zeratul.

I'll let them take one more shot once the FULL picture of the prophecy is revealed in LotV. It probably won't even work, but it'd be interesting to see what they can come up with.

So young and naive. No worries, little one, the world will crush that out of you.

I hate prophecies, to be frank. Especially where the future is seen through magic or some other bullshit mysticism. Like, fuck Bran Stark and the 3-eyed raven. SC's "The Xel'Naga will return" is so vague right now I don't even really care about it, and I can't blame Raynor for dismissing it too.

Seriously, the best "prophecy" based media I've ever seen are The Lego Movie, which *plot twist!* turned out to be a lie, and Gurren Lagaan's completely over-the-top spiral extinction.

Most prophecies end up falling flat on their face, I expect the same thing to happen in LotV anyway. Nevertheless, it'd be interest to see Blizzard squirm to try to salvage the situation when that's clearly not possible.

At this point I expect Zeratul to locate and use a Xel'Naga artifact akin to the Horn of Cenarius from WarCraft; Amon will be defeated by the spiritual power -- I'm sorry, combined essence, as channeled by the Kerrigan-Artanis Hybrid/Xel'Naga Reborn -- of all Protoss past and present; Raynor, resurrected by Kerrigan's Zerg virus, takes over as the King of Blades, and takes the Zerg Swarm far from Koprulu; and we all live happily ever after.

... Until an entire race of Amon-spawn come creeping out the shadows. :|

That's not going to happen, VoK. We all know the LotV ending will be some crack addict waking up off the street, saying "I just had the weirdest dream", meaning that the whole SC series was just a hallucination.

Holy fuck, did you just make a joke?

Does not compute.

I can believe it. It was told so robotic and ineffectually that I don't need to accuse of Rag of having someone else type it for him.
