Brood War: "But mark my words, I'll be the one who kills you, Kerrigan" (or something like that) SC2: "UGUU KERRIGAN IS MAI WAIFU DON'T SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT MAI WAIFU"
Fenix rolling in his grave.
Calling it ahead of time: Raynor DOES kill Kerrigan, but it's a lovey-dovey JIM YOU HAVE TO KILL ME BEFORE I BECOME A MONSTER AGAIN mercy-killing with lots of tears and Raynor bawwwing afterwards.

Well, SC2 is not over yet, and I bet Fenix will show up, if not in HotS, he will be in LotV.

Please no.
WoL's storyline was cheesy and obvious enough, we don't need ANOTHER character cheating his death.

T_T Also I remember Raynor's words to Kerrigan, that he will revenge for killing Fenix. Apparently, as seen in WoL, he forgot about his vow... Maybe he will reappear as an Immortal in the Legacy of the Void? 
HAHAHAHAHA U KILLED IT WITH QUEEN?!
U SICKO!!!
AHHAHAHAAHHAHAAHAH hAHAHA hAHHA HAHAHah AHha

he appears in the final protoss mission in the sc2 in his badass mothership.

I always expected an "Infested Fenix" kinda character to show up at some point in SC2 back in the day.... You know, Kerrigan keeps around Fenix's body as a trophy of sorts and then Duran steals it away as a perfect specimen for Hybridization.
Oh well, I always thought it would be a powerful scene seeing Infested Fenix get sent to fight against Raynor.

I don't mean to de-rail this but was i the only one who didn't know a SINGLE protoss hero besides Artanis in the "void of darkness?" Misson? Like i was like WHO? are you people trying to help me when CLEARLY everybody here is fucked.

maybe fenix got infested and turned into the dark voice? :0
|
Maybe they'll mention him in Legacy of the Void. I think there's a high chance. Terran's don't have much to do with Fenix ;d

Selendis was announced as a new protoss character before the release of WoL (and appears in the last Hanson level as well). Mohandar and Urun were only mentionned in one of the forgettable novels that were published before the release.

Or were only some elements of BW retconned, and Fenix still died? the only thing that was retconned were that the Overmind is now a good guy and Kerrigan actually IS mad at Mengsk and doesn't like being infested. Either way, it's not just Fenix. Nobody even says "En Taro Adun" anymore (except the Immortals).
i dont get how people dont understand the story, it makes perfect sense to me
The Overmind isnt a good guy, hes jsut trying to kill the guy whos trying to kill him and his Swarm, that doesnt make him good
Kerrigan was always angry at Mengsk for abandoning her, despite all the power she gained he still abandoned her and left her for dead, the price for trying to kill her is death
Fenix hasnt been forgotten, but there was noone in wings that cared about Fenix aside from Raynor and possibly Zeratul (hard to say how much of a bromance Zeratul had with Fenix since they knew each other for such a brief period) noone else on the Hyperion was going to be starting a conversation about Fenix so unless you wanted seom random cutscene thats nothing but mroe of Jim acting depressed he wasnt going to get any screentime this expansion
Raynor hasnt forgotten about Fenix, but at the same time its been years since Fenix died and its hard to remain angry for years on end, think about all the times in your life youve ever said "ill kill you" i doubt you followed through with any of them
also lets not forget that in order to essentially save his sanity Raynor seperated the Queen of Blades from Sarah Kerrigan, hes still hanging onto her original distress call and her show of mercy as proof that the original is still in there but shes being controlled by the Zerg genes in her if Raynor will ever start thinking about Fenix it will be during HoTS when he sees Kerrigan for who she really is, but dont expect much anger, its gonna be like his thoughts against mengsk norage just cool determination and realization that she has to die and theres no saving her

Tassadar not being dead would be the worst retcon if not for the good Overmind, and Fenix's death was at least as touching as Tassadar's. Dead people should stay dead, World of Warcraft resurrected dozens of characters that had died (litterally, I was at 25 when I stopped counting). If characters can't be killed, what's the point? Why should I care about Zeratul if the story says "he's a cool guy, dying wouldn't kill him"? That's partly what was so memorable in Fenix's death. If a beloved character can die, you suddenly care a lot more about the fate of the others.

I lost all faith in Blizzard to produce a good single player campaign long ago, TFT was just as bad/boring as SC2. I totally disagree with that. There is no equivalent to the orcs or the blood elves in SC1, the terran worlds weren't crushed the way Lordaeron was, there was no "brave idealist that turns out to be a power-hungry jerk" in Warcraft 3. Even the alliance between Raynor's Raiders and the Protoss was secondary to the plot, whereas it was the culmination of Reign of Chaos. You didn't have silly plot holes like "Tychus worked for Mengsk but was the one who piloted the superweapon in Media Blitz". And it didn't end with the hero carrying his naked girlfriend towards the sunset. I could go on for a while. You do have a good character that turns evil, a civil war between a former human/elf and bad guys to control the brainless race, with the former human eventually betraying her allies. But that doesn't make the plot "exactly the same".
Fenix being referenced wouldn't be bad, but I agree that Fenix shouldn't come back from the dead and nor should any character. Sometimes it makes sense, but characters do need to die, otherwise everything that they lived for the first time loses lots of weight.

Same here but I thought that they shouldn't waste time fleshing these characters out in WoL when there's a perfectly good expansion pack coming out which will take take of it (hopefully).

Well he's doing that for now. I mean aren't they scrapping the Mothership in the next expansion?

That is such an awesome idea xD.

Yeah, if Fenix is dead, then he should stay dead. I'd hate if he 'returned' like Tassadar.
Fenix was a bad-ass though. Such a warrior.
|
They have such flexibility in the campaign I'm surprised they don't just go balls out and include everything they can think of!
|
The writer for the single player campaign obviously did not play bw. At the end of Broodwar, Raynor said the next time he sees kerrigan he will kill her, now 10 years later (is that time right? not sure), all he can think about is boning her,
