Zerg were better off with the Overmind

No it's not. =|

It's not like she's sitting around whining about how Mengsk screwed her over. She's just beaten him at his own game, and now she's telling him why.

Therefore it's proactive. Therefore it's not angsty.

I mean isn't one of the reasons so many people dislike her is that she's smug? Smug is practically the polar opposite of angst.

She didn't seem so smug when she said she was tired of slaughter. Also, leaving Mengsk alive... that was just stupid, an obviously emotional response.

There's a difference between angst and issues. Kerrigan is like a yarn of issues; you start examining any single one and you get tangled inside and there ain't no comin' out. But that's not really angst. Angst is when you're whining, but your bite's louder than your bark is tough.

Nah, because she is a smug woman.

Dudes that are smug are cool and awesome, but when someone with lady parts is smug they are emotional and angsty. ( So far she has such parts left. )

To be honest emo and angsty are way overused terms these days. It applies to everything that has a shred of emotion it seems? Raynor is an emo drinker, Zeratul was emo after slaying his own matriarch, and so on. Its a rather dull and boring point of view in my perspective. And too selectively used.

I do have the creeping feeling they going to WOTLK lich king her in starcraft 2 tho. The "Oh damn!, Im going to get you next time raynor, NEXT TIME!" kind of thing. Would still have more character then the Overmind of course. Since it doesnt have any. It only had the best voice in all of starcraft.

Also, why are characters only questionable archetypes when they arent white? Is that one of those american PC things?

I think you mean "not used selectively enough." And I agree. Which leads to page-long debates over semantics, when everyone actually agrees on the particulars.

But yet people call Zeratul and Raynor angsty and emo, too... including yourself.

The Overmind isn't even human, while Kerrigan and Raynor are both white.

I think he was being ironic. Trying to emphasize how people use the term 'emo' and 'angsty' too loosely.

And Raynor is neither emo nor angsty. He's more like the classic example of: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.ph...ghtInSourArmor

No she isnt! It's obvious she's a light-skinned black woman. Where else would she get an ass like that!?

And she got her green eyes and red hair from her father, who has the most Irish name you could come up with...

Also, Nova's white (probably Italian), and she's got a nice-looking ass.

Lot's of women with Mediterranean descent do, so that's not really saying much.

But back on topic. It should also be noted that Kerrigan actually has, to an extent continued the Overmind's 'prime directive' of evolving and advancing the swarm. But that is only one objective among many, and only on her terms.

Kerrigan's human side makes her, if nothing else, much less predictable, which I think makes for a much more dynamic campaign.

That would be teenage angst, or emoretard angst.

Angst just means persistent internal suffering. Kerrigan is probably Angsty, but its incredibly repressed.

[mr. peasant]

So, she's depressed and repressed. Wouldn't that just make her pressed?
