Why are so sure it is exactly 'end' scene of Hots? Throughout WoL there were some scenes that without knowing the plot, you could say the same, cause they seem similar to 'end' scene. It easily could be end of Mengsk at the mid of Hots, as they begin to pursue other things.

gurl, the achievements labled korhal as final missions. sorry for that, i am scared of the ending too ._.

That doesn't fit at all, somethings wrong.
Blizzard knowing that the "end" has leaked and that half of the community has seen it... and then, firstly, bringing it up in the ads (so they basically spoil/confirm the rest of the cinematic), and secondly just the fact, that they include so many scenes from the ending, that it is just horrible.

Like really, i am not sure if Blizzard would do that. Including 50% of the end in the ads and also knowing that every one will recognize it.

Maybe it's really not the ending... maybe just a cinematic after the first of the 3 final missions? (hopefully)
still, we have the evidence that it is the ending, but Blizz isn't that stupid.

edit: yeah Existor posts bash everything that walked the face of earth <3

i randomly try to load videos on youtube to see that new add. do we know the speech? are there other scenes? no i guess...

if there would be a god i would pray that this is not the ending or that the marketing team is not that stupid.

Unfortunately, it seems like this ad isn't available on german. i just don't get this one, i got 99 ads and non of those was hots-related... at least the on eon the mainpage

at the end when she kills mensk they do a close up on her eyes/face and the expression she has in the leaked version is identical to one of the cinematic, its so dammn obvious that that part of the cinematic was taken from this scene.

Also the mutas flying underneath the maelstrom (swirly storm) is identical to the leaked ending.

My guess is they cut the "zerg belong to no one" part cause that was just dumb, but knowing blizz they probably kept in the infamous "this isn't vengeance... THIS IS JUSTICE" line.

at least "this was sparta" was not as stupidly set as "this is #vengeance!!!1" (maybe they even feature kerrigan kicking Mengsk out of the window with her heels <3<3

Btw the scene with the mutas flying under the maelstrom don't look CGI, so it's not from the ending, but from the ingame cinematics where Kerrigan is reborn on Zerus. The maelstrom itself is on Zerus (you can see the surface beneath the maelstrom, with jungle and rivers. Korhal doesn't even have rivers.

What's the main reason people are troubled about the leaked ending? Because it's cheesey? Everything so far has been cheesey in blizzard games.

Because Mengsk dies? I think it's his time already, he's been alive for far too long given how much blizzard loves to kill their characters.

The speech Kerrigan gives? I don't understand. The ending seems normal to me, nothing special nothing bad.


It's because of the 'Veangence' thing and making Mengsk a powerful evil villain. If u played BW, you'd know that kerrigan had 2 major occasions to kill Mengsk:
- once she destroyed Fenix and Duke on Korhal, she could kill him, but she let him live intentionally
- after the final mission - she killed every single bit of UED, so chasing down Mengsk was certainly in her power

During the final mission, Mengsk also stated he brought every ship, asked every favor he could. Everything was destroyed, yet in just 4 years he rebuilds the Dominion into full power.

Moreover, Jim finally sworn to kill Kerrigan, and that was his main goal after BW, not revolution, because the Dominion was shattered anyway.

And that's what's pissing me off - they act like brood war never happened.

Everything you said makes perfect sense, but there's one thing. Didn't Blizzard say Queen of Blades(BW timeline) and what we have now..which is Kerrigan with zerg hair are TWO-DISTINCT personalities?

Maybe it's explained in the books, I don't know. It's still a bit of a stretch but it would make more sense. The pre-infested Kerrigan would definitely be angry with what Mengsk has done.

(hey you know that one time when you left me to the zerg??)

As the QoB Kerrigan didn't give 2 shits about Mengsk, she had other things to worry about. Her human personality was gone and the emotions with it, as the feeling of #vengeance.
Now, with her true persona returned, she gained her emotions, the human feelings, that are angry at Mengsk.

I don't think i could expalin that more easy, Flashpoint made that out kinda clear.
Also, Kerrigan knows that Mengsk tried to kill her many times:

Back then on Tarsonis, with Tychus, after she was rescued by Raynor and Valerian, on the Promethues-Station with Narud etc. And she isn't stupid, Mengsk will try on and she has to kill him in order to survive.

You know, I'd be perfectly happy with the leaked ending cinematic if they just redo the voice acting so it isn't so fucking cheesy.

Seriously, there's a fucking 100000% difference between these scenes if Blizzard went all-out and made Kerrigan badass.

It's not the visuals that are bad at all, it's the fucking one liners flopping around all over the place like dead fish and the cliché, over used, "why can't we be friends, Sméagol is free!" dialogue vomiting all over my ears.

I don't think, at this point at least, that we can hope for a different render....at least visually. But I'm praying to some sort of god that they redid the dialogue.

Good lord.

no i really liked the visuals of the previs (i mean, it was a previs, but the scenes itself were strong). what made me cry and broke my heart and shattered it all over my keyboard was the dialogue of course.
and i am afraid of blizzard finding it epic or whatever.

but maybe they will take the hate of the fans to heart and change the dialogue, which was ofc a placeholder (not even kerrigans/mengsks voice)

@Existor where is that picture with the angry Kerri from row 4 from? doesn't look cgi either, more like the zerus cinematic.
my 2 cents...

And can anyone post a link to the ads/spots if they are uploaded anywhere?

It was taken from one of HOTS advertisments from kanobu.ru or ag.ru. And I think it's happens on Zerus, because we already saw her "rage with glowing eyes" form in different scenes in trailer.

I already posted links in my post. Kanobu.ru and ag.ru. It advertisment blocks there is somtimes HOTS which shows parts of trailer and sometimes it shows scenes which wasnt in the Vengeance trailer

And that scene seems to me the most similariest to vengeance-justice-explode scene in leaked video.

Those speculations are just my speculations. Everything can be changed, like that whirlwil of storming clouds and swarms can be in a different part of story rather than at the end like in leaked ending

WTF?
I thought zerg/protoss are real. My world is shattered.

But I do wonder what will happen in LotV if the leaked ending is true. Zerg being "good" seems a bit weird. "yea lol sorry we destroyed your homeworld, no hard feelings"

Wasn't it hinted in one of the blizzcons Zeratul will be trying to unite the protoss tribes to fight against zerg/hybrids? Don't know how zerg would be a threat to anyone if leaked ending is what it is.

If there are spoilers can there be appropriated spoiler tags at least in the title or in posts? It would be appreciated by individuals like myself, who maybe came to discuss the fact that such content was leaked and less perhaps the actual content....
