Legacy of the Void All Cutscenes *** SPOILER *** - Page 2

When Kerrigan meets Ouros, he says the cycle must continue. But in the very next cinematic when Ouros gives his power to Kerrigan, he says the cycle has ended. In the final cinematic the text says a new burst of life has been seen in the Koprulu sector suggesting that the cycle has continued under Kerrigan. In the text on the campaign page after beating the epilogue, it says the cycle has ended. Which is it, and why has it flip-flopped 4 times in consecutive scenes?

The xel'naga cycle is to merge purity of essence (protoss) and purity of form (zerg) to be reborn as xel'naga. So how can Kerrigan become a xel'naga, when she did not merge with a protoss?

Why must the xel'naga cycle continue?

Artanis reading the shrine in Ulnar: "The infinite cycle is always the same. One pure of essence, an indomitable spirit capable of great change. And one pure of form, a being capable of vast psionic potential, able to house the essence of a xel'naga".

However, if the implication here is that Kerrigan is both pure of essence and pure of form, allowing Kerrigan to become xel'naga without merging with protoss, then Blizzard has thrown the entire point of the zerg and protoss origin story out the window.

Moreover, what is the original purpose of the xel'naga Keystone/Artifact?

Artanis reading another shrine in Ulnar: "All of this time they [the xel'naga] have waited for us [zerg and protoss, presumably] to assemble the Keystone and find our way here [Ulnar]."

Based on the fact that the artifact sucks in and redirects energy and consciousness, according to Karax and the way it's been used, this suggests that the original purpose of the artifact was likely to transfer energy of the two races, purity of essence, and purity of form, into being reborn as xel'naga. However, we see that Ouros and Kerrigan is able to do this without the Keystone.

This leaves either the Keystone's original purpose unexplained or Ouros making Kerrigan a xel'naga complete nonsense.

What is with the dream scenes between Kerrigan and Raynor, and is the scene where Kerrigan finds Raynor at the Mar Sara bar real? Probably not. How can it possibly be real?

Yeah... I am pretty confused on things seems like there are a lot of plot holes that blizz are going to have to go over in 10 years with starcraft 3. The whole taldarim betraying amon arc was a bit confusing at first as well god damn it was a fun campaign to play but the story left me with some question marks over my head at times.

Ouros' motif and why he didn't just outright tell Zeratul what Amon's plan was. He obviously had extensive knowledge of past events that occurred in BW and could easily bypass the deception by offering them valuable information. Unless this is actually a plot point and just got lost in the writing revamps.

I actually think some of the writers tried to salvage the story. It's heavily implied that Amon is actually someone who was forced into becoming a Xel'naga just like Kerrigan and despised that fact, which then served as the motivation for wanting to break the cycle.

I think there was an intention to say that the Xel'naga wanted to perpetuate their rule to the end of time by having the dominant species in the universe always loop back to sustain their race. It is shown clearly that even though they are highly technological and powerful, they are not in any way beyond the toils of time or physical ailments.
