So she kills a bunch of people because they attack her, or the overmind makes her do it, or because the UED are killing everyone. Then goes dormant for four years. Then comes back again for some reason, possibly because Duran is planning on deinfesting her.
Granted, she had acruel streak and a sadist personality, but it was never as simple as Kerrigan killing for the lulz or for the betterment of the swarm. And then there was the four years of dormancy, and apparantly she lets Jim and Arcturus go because she can, but not Duke, the UED or Fenix because apparantly they're too dangerous to allow to live or something. Also there was that time where she helped the Protoss save Shakuras. She didn't have to offer help, and it would probably have been safer for her plan with Razagal if she had left the protoss to fend for themselves. Zeratul knew where the magic crystals were, and it's safe to assume that through her connection with Razagal that Kerrigan knew that Zeratul knew. It's likely that the protoss would have taken the crystals with or without Kerrigans aid.
She was pretty malicious when speaking to them, but seemed to feel kind of guilty afterwards.
So which is it? She is definitly aggressive, no doubt about that, but that's not really evil now is it...
I have a feeling that she'll try and justify her actions in HotS.

She's insanely hot, like insanely, insanely hot. That's far more than what I can be bothered to be concerned of.

she was much hotter in the original, they ruined her design, not only visually but her character too gone are the days where she was scheming, cunning, brutal etc she was kinda just a placeholder for where sc2 needed a real villian
this is probably because now either a) shes completely cured of that personality and blizzard didnt want that to be too big a shock or b) that personality had a secret good agenda and kerrigans going to be reinfected
+ Show Spoiler +most of OP's quote is from the originals story, anyone who hasnt done the sc2 campaign and reads that, dont get your hopes up
maybe blizzard decided they needed some characters alive to work with just in case, but they needed to establish her by destroying less vital characters

When she was zerg she was evil no doubt.

Um, no it's not from the original story. Unless you call Broodwar the original story.
Really, Kerrigan was nothing special in the original either. She gets betrayed, becomes Zerg, throws some hissy fits at Zasz, and gets played by Tassadar. Can summarize her original infested personality as "I AM STRONG I WILL KILL YOU IF YOU DOUBT ME!".
She was more sophisticated in Broodwar because she was in a lot of trouble and had to use her brain for once.

No but seriously, Kerrigan is totally evil.

I doubt Kerrigan is evil, she's just fighting for supremacy for her race. Just like the Protoss and Terran. The only reason why the Zerg appear evil is because they are winning. (not to mention ugly)

I feel like Kerrigan is not evil, only because it's wat the zerg does. hey, its it gross for people to take a shit??? or do their business in the woods when camping??? no, its wat we are taught (or instincts), so saying she is evil is wrong. sure she killed all those people, but hey, she just wants the zerg to be more superior. Also, she's is soo hot in the first photo...

Just because it's someone's nature doesn't mean it isn't evil.

I assumed the whole assimilating all known species into the swarm borg-style is what made them evil.
But Blizz screwed the pooch and gave us the Warcraft plot again.

What the heck. Billy_, why'd you open two threads for Kerrigan?
Edit: I just looked around the single player forum. you started a LOT of threads..

What kind of fucked up definition of evil are you looking into? Sure, evil is relative to a person's morals, but it's completely ridiculous to say that just because (for example) it's someone's nature to torture little children for fun, all of a sudden it isn't evil. It's not like if I normally find something evil, I just make an exception if someone says that it's what they're conditioned to do. It's that kind of crap that is letting humanity get away from personal responsibility more and more.

The Zerg definition.
I don't blame Kerrigan any more than psychos for their mental defects.
You are oversimplifying it with that horrible example.
|
BW answers the question for you: she's an evil bitch.
They might be retconning that for SC2, however.
|
Broodwar was just a side story. There wasn't much to retcon..
|
meh, i dunno if it's either really. or maybe it's both. obviously she was twisted into kind of a monster by her infestation, and i think that's because she's a combination of the cold, consuming nature of the swarm and her human emotions, such as bitterness at being abandoned and probably the rest of her life before that considering she was experimented on. so no doubt she was a nasty creature as the queen of blades, but good bad guys have this side to them where you can understand how they became that way and i think kerrigan was one of those.
plus the whole 'kerrigan is the key to saving us all' thing in sc2 is not necessarily mutually exclusive with her being evil, but since she's been de-infested or whatever i guess they're gonna take that route from now on.

If the whole 'kerrigan as the chosen one" thing is derailed then that might make for an interesting story. Would also give Tassadar an opportunity to make the most of his return.
Honestly, I think that there is a good chance that Kerrigan won't be the savior. If she was, then wouldn't it make the most sense for the zerg expansion to come last?
