And Kerrigan should have stayed evil. That’s my “Han shot first” of the franchise.

Agreed 100%, how Kerrigan was handled was the worst of StarCraft 2’s many sins against prior characterization. They spent an entire expansion setting her up as an irredeemable monster and the new big bad of the setting alongside Mengsk and whatever Duran was up to, only to undo it all because NuBlizzard wanted their waifu.

Additionally there is absolutely no way Jim Raynor as of the end of Brood War would ever ally with Kerrigan after her betrayal, yet he goes from having sworn to get revenge for Fenix’s death to helping Kerrigan “redeem” herself with little more than a mention of past grievances.
