  • space crabs?!?

  • humans just like fighting each other xD if some alien race would try to take earth theyd be slaughtered

  • They didnt just kill Mengsks familly, they destroyed his planet, so in return he called zerg on Chau Sara, Mar sara and Tarsonis, Protoss came by shortly to "purify" those planets. So the Terrans united "No matter the cost" Mengsk killed 3 plantes of people to unite the terrans

  • The thing to remember, Tarsonis didn't make Mengsk ruthless. He was like that from the start, ever since the Confederacy killed his family. He just played the part of the charasmatic rebel leader while it suited him, and took up the role of a "benevolent" tyrant when that suited him.

    The reason the propaganda works better in SC1 is Mengsk is trying to unite the Terran factions, which is apparently easier than keeping them together, which is what he's trying to do in SC2.

  • @Penningtontj Agreed. He allowed his desire for revenge poison his mind to the point where he became as bad as those he sought to destroy. It just didn't become fully obvious until he planted multiple psi emitters on Tarsonis. Only then did he show his true colors. It seems to me though that he did it more for his little sister Dorothy (and perhaps his mom) then for his father based on what I read in the book "I, Mengsk". Betcha Dorothy would be upset to see how far her brother's fallen....

  • Mengsk, the greatest mother fucker ever

  • Starcraft is a tribute to Sci-fi in general. Gotta love it!

  • mengsk is a badass

  • I love how they used different voice filters throughout the cutscene.

  • This has always been my favourite SC cinematic. I love Mengsk.

  • Mengsk propaganda in SC is way cooler than his in SC2 =)

  • fuckin nub with 90 bcs haz to play with supply hacks

  • Man, the terrans should win SC2.

  • Love this cinematic !

  • lol oh my god i remember this, back in like 7th grade we had to memorize speeches to give to the class, and i memorized this one. it was pretty epic because i had so much time on my hands to make it perfect. take that one abe lincoln copycats

  • once you think about it,mengsk isint that evil. he united the terrans so they can stand up against the protoss and zerg. hes a bit rational thought

  • @cahtush Of course, he may have been able to do that without using the Zerg to kill billions of innocent people. He was a decent guy ONCE but now he's just as bad as the Confederates ever were.

  • @ShadowSonic2 yes, now that i played sc2 i agree, but i still like him before tarsonis

  • comes the Terran Dominion, but speaking seriously Mengsk and a son of a bitch if he had not left Kerrigan for the Zerg after the capture of the new Overmind they would have no leader.

  • isn't it odd how so many characters in the SC and WOW universes are alike o.O

  • Mengsk = Stalin

  • Naw, Mengsk has more charisma than Stalin.

  • best race

  • Owned xD

  • Yes I can, bitch.

    Matter in a vacuum rips in every direction. A solid body released in the vacuum of space would rip apart. Gas practically disappears as quickly as it dissipates. And if there was an explosion from the arm's owner's ship? All the the available oxygen would fuel the explosion.

  • Ding ding winner.

  • As if physics would allow that to be even remotely possible.

    Though I assume you're kidding.

  • Luv how he said "let no human fight another again!" Then like a few days (or weeks) later the UED comes and crushes the zerg, terran and protoss forces.

  • More like six months to a year later.

  • lol, the cigarette alite in spaceO.o?

  • @Voids2006

    Trailing smoke. It could have been left over in the cigarette.

    Or just because it looks funny.

  • @Voids2006 mutalisks flapping in space?

  • @Voids2006 Laser beams visible in space?

  • so if the battlecruisers cost 400 minerals, and it takes one SCV 50 times to cover that much (since they gain 8 minerals each time), and that those cruisers probably cost billions of dollars, then...thats like saying each SCV rakes in about 10 millions dollars per round of minerals! (not including the vespene gas needed)

    ...i kno, im such a nerd :P

  • markbark he isn't referring to the actual cost of the ships when he says "No matter the cost" he's more referring to human life or civilization.

  • @markbark94

    wow! i gotta get me one o them!

  • why those jerks can be united

  • lol if you have the game, and look on the bottom where random letters appear, you see the word 'Ass'

  • Funny the speech did little good. The Umojans stayed neutral, the Kel-Morian Combine just did the same deal it did with the Confederacy. (Or so I believe.)

    FOR RAYNOR'S RAIDERS!

  • As far as I remember, the Kel-Morians and Umojans officially joined the dominion. but broke away and reaffirmed their independence when the UED crushed the Dominion.

    The Dominion survived. However, it was a significantly weaker.

  • love the sound editing.

  • exactly what I wanted to say

  • hey dark nemesis this is number 5 you forgot the amerigo battle

  • amerigo battle is a zerg cinematic

  • Blizzard has been known to use mixxed sounds from previous games so, yeah it could be =)

  • At about 00:49-00:52, the sound the wraiths make as they fly overhead sounds just like one of the seals used by a paladin in World of Warcraft.

  • I love the Terran Dominion.....we should turn earth into this...not the UED there retarted...

  • puny human! we ssssssssshal conquer your patttthhhertic world and eliminate all of your speccccies

  • what the hell....Zerg?

  • for the overmind!

  • I watch this alot, it makes total sense!

  • mengsk owns

  • mengsk is the fidel castro of the stars

  • more like the bush.

  • lol cept Mengsks sounds cooler XP

  • XDXDXD, Fidel Castro, I'm gonna remember that XD

  • "No matter the cost"

    "B-But sir! Those battlecruisers are really expensive!"

    "Show me the money"

    "Sorry i doubted you sir."

  • Mengsk, Bah.. Long live the confederacy

  • From this day forward let no human make war upon any other human; let no Terran agency conspire against this new beginning, and let no man consort with alien powers. and to all the enemies of humanity seek, not to bar our way. For we shall win through no matter the cost!

    -Arcturus Mengsk (Even though he's a bastard, he's got a point)

  • Bah! Propaganda! He really spoke to me when I was 11 years old and I heard "let no human consort with alien powers." As soon as I heard that I instantly thought about how Jim Raynor allied himself with the Protoss!

  • we need to make a starcraft movie

    the storyline of SC > every other sci-fi

  • debatable.

  • Well, in my opinion, I liked StarCraft Episode III (Protoss Campaign) better than Star Wars Episode III. Yeah, the original StarCraft I-III is much better than the Star Wars prequels I-III.

  • I'd have to agree. Star Wars I-III was shit.

    No, wait. It was just Anakin and his emo character. Mace owned, Yoda rocked, Palpatine was ultimate, Qui-gon fucked everyone like Chuck Norris, and Obi-Wan was humorous.

    Ani tried it all and went emo.

  • *Agrees with your agreement*

  • From this day forward let no human make war upon any other human; let no Terran agency conspire against this new beginning, and let no man consort with alien powers. and to all the enemies of humanity seek, not to bar our way. For we shall win through no matter the cost!

  • Does anyone know what he says at 1:33 after "homes and _____ destroyed...", at 1:36 after "Calculative _____ Protoss...", at 1:57 after "already, many of the _____ factions have...." and at 2:04ish at "... we shall form an indiviable whole, ______ to a single throne."

    Anyone know?

  • Never mind the last one, I got it.

  • Got all except the first one, "Homes and ______ destroyed..."

  • "Homes and communities destroyed" Though I'm not entirely sure

  • (1:33)Homes and communities destroyed by the calculated(or calculative) blows of the Protoss!

    (1:57)Already many of the dissident factions have...

    (2:04-ish)Out of the many we shall forge an indivisible whole, capitulating ONLY to a single throne.

    Does anyone think G.W. Bush sounds alot like Mengsk?

  • Vladdyboy, that is because they both have Southern accents. but G.W.Bush has a Texas Southern accent and Mengsk has more of a Alabama Southern accent.

  • I also meant it by the way the give a speech, they're both somewhat "evil" dictators and they have a way of forming their sentences that makes their speech sound like propaganda.

  • The Terran Dominion IS propaganda.

  • Everything is propaganda...

  • Relativist propaganda!

  • A "dictator" is one who assumes control through his own devices (historically militarily) and exerts absolute control over his or her populace. Bush was elected by the populace. Twice. That's fact.

    Mengsk is a true "dictator" as he achieved his power via the use I've described above. Please don't confuse real world politics with video game cinematics. Instead pick up a book and learn about this stuff so you're better prepared before making statements of this kind.

  • All I was saying is that it's a hell of a coincidence that they both sound alike!

  • I've lived in the South most of my life and I've never been able to differentiate between the different dialects each state uses, although it's pretty easy to detect creole Louisiana speech.

  • The devastation brought by the alien invaders is self-evident. We have seen our homes and villages destroyed by the calculated blows of the Protoss. We have seen first hand our friends and loved ones consumed by the nightmarish Zerg. Unprecedented and unimaginable though they may be, these are the signs of our time. The time has come my fellow Terrans to rally to a new banner. In unity lies strength; already many of the dissident factions have joined us.

  • Think about it though... We need a leader like this in real life.. To unite the race.. Think of what we could accomplished unified.

  • The only way for us (Humans) to unite if something from the outside trys to take what we hold dear.

    BTW i am back :D will upload Zerg and Protoss Cinematics soon....

  • @DarkerNemesis Have you been reading Watchmen lately? Because I have and that sentiment still freaks me out.

  • lol......

  • I don't get it. He says that humans should not make war against each other and he's blowing the shit out of Confederate warships. Total asshole.

  • LOL. Good piece of propaganda. But too bad Mengsk and his Dominion got their asses handed to them by just about everyone they tried to fight. By the end of Brood War they're pretty much irrelevant and powerless.

  • omg the best game ever made. Still play it every day after i first bought it, like 7 years ago. Cant wait till Sc2 xP

  • I just love it! Long live Arcturus Mengsk, emperor of the terran dominion and protector of humanity! Starcraft is teh shit what can I say?

  • " For we shall win through, no matter the cost!" Yeeeeeee pure victory

  • yay xD

  • With a level headed enlightened emperor/dictator, totalitarianism is ultimately a 1000% more efficient government. It is the retards who go batshit crazy who get a bad rap as a tyrant. Mengsk is an asshole, but he replaced an equally oppressive Confederacy and by doing that Mengsk needs only supply his Dominian with the freedoms the confederacy never gave and the humans will not only praise him but will end up a stronger force.

  • Oh really...wait a second... HE JUST ABANDONNED THE OUTER WORLDS of the DOMINION at the beggining of SC2, who the hell would praise Mengsk for doing that! >:(

  • In times like these, with great dangerous and menace , which government is better, democracy or totalitarianism?

  • they need eachother

    democracy needs totalitarianism to survive!

    LOL, but it's true!!!

  • Love it...

  • yeah... good work terrans!

  • "Hell, it's about time!"

    Findlay's new catchphrase, the guy in the brief trailer!

  • hey thanks for putting this up man..I hate Arcturus, but damn! he made one fine speech! especially at

    " For we shall win through, no matter the cost!"

  • Out of the many we shall forge an indivisible whole. Capitulating only to a single throne. And from that throne, I shall watch over you.

    From this day foreword let no human make war upon any other human. Let no Terran agency conspire against this new beginning. And let no man consort with alien powers. And to all the enemies of humanity, seek not to bar our way, for we shall win through, no matter the cost.

  • at 1:03, are those Protoss intercepters?

  • yes they are, they are also at 1:20

  • Well, Arcturus might be a backstabbing jerk but at least he knows how to give patriotic and well thought out speeches.

    If Bush were to give speeches like this and had Mengsk's cunning, he'd be politically unbeatable!

  • Mengsk's speech is in no way clever, it just shows tjat he's a power-grabing dictator. If Bush were ever to deliver a speech with "Capitulating only to a single throne. And from that throne, I shall watch over you.", he'd be kicked out of the office immediately.

  • After reading about what Mengsk has been up to since the end of the Brood War, I agree with you.

    Strangely enough, if he had kept out the "Capitulating only to a single throne. And from that throne, I shall watch over you." line, it would've been a good speech.

  • I disagree. His words suggest, in a rather obscure way, that he is a dictator, but are more to show that the Terran are uniting under his reign for a common cause. It's more of a rallying speech, if I can put it simply.

    He say, "The time has come, my terrans, to rally to a new era; we will form an indivisible hold, capitulating from a single throne, and from that throne, I will watch over you."

    He's basically saying that he has the power to protect the citizens and win the war.

  • While I agree he ended up a dicator, I also agree that this speech is merely a rallying speech. The Terrans were all over the place before the dominion and this was exactly what they needed to join together to battle they're enemies. Besides, as bas as he was, the Terrans were better off under him then under the confederacy.

  • You mustn't have noticed that during the speech, while we hear him say Terrans need to stop fighting each other so they can face the Zerg and Protoss, we see his battlecruisers shoot down enemy vessels. "My enemies are keeping us from being strong enough to fight our most dangerous enemies" is a dictator's excuse, like Bush's and the next President's for the war on terror.

  • Arcturus was a cunt, good thing he got pwned in brood-war

  • yeah it is the same space station sharkiesr, look a the planet it's orbiting

  • Wow. People who love the Zerg should be shot.

    And the Protoss can take their beloved Khala and shove it up their ass. It's like Islam in space.

    --Darkrift

  • Hehehehehe. I always think that the Protoss are kinda too religous. I just like the Protoss 'cause of their nice troops. But you know, there are mixed feelings.

  • Sorry for double reply. I am not a real Protoss crazy guy. Also, the Protoss doesn't have asses. :P

  • Yeah, seriously anyone who cares that much about a videogame SHOULD be shot. :salutes flag:

    --Khanstant

  • The Executor will conquer the Zerg! And the Terrans..... We will deal with them soon... ENTARO TASSADAR!

  • For the overmind!

  • BOO! UED FTW! Even though they get ditched by duran and alexei.. even though that one gets infested and one dies rofl. They will all die by the zerg

  • was that the same space station from the fight in 01:36? cant be.

  • probably just another science vessel that was abandonned. The other one was completly ahnialated

  • ive seen this video already.. when i was still in elementary.. GRADE 3!!! and i still remember it!

  • what happens to britain

  • Something i never understand of this amazing game is for what the fucking Zergs win the war... i believe the human or the protoss or both most win... because... you understand.

  • kinda reminds me of High Chancellor Sutler from V for Vendetta... cool speech tho <3 Starcraft

  • big words for a small rebel!!! although hes army was even bigger :)

  • For we SHALL win, no matter the cost!

    I have heard that speech in ages, great vid

  • Its spelled "dominion", idiot

  • "From this day forward, let no human make war against any other human." Dude that speech is awesome. I wish a president would say somthing like that and say that following line.

  • Rofl, Better, let's hope someone would say that and it actually HAPPENS. It doesn't take very long for humans to fight in Brood War XD

  • Oh, the magic!

    Thanks a lot for this fine upload!

  • Sounds like GWB

  • because goliaths totally fly around in space killing wraiths and battlecruisers...

  • similar ending to Starship troopers.

  • i would like to see all those terran wraith & B/Cs get raped by scourges & goliaths

  • hey guys ive always wondered...the overmind is never shown until u get it on auir..so..where was it commanding its armies because there was no sign that it was staged on char. although its possible its on zerus or w/e the orginal planet name was (forgot already >.<)

  • You do realise he has sort of an texan accent =P

  • The Confederacy elite, including General Duke, had distinct Texan accents.

  • We have seen our homes destroyed by the Protoss...

    YA GOT THAT RIGHT BITCH!

  • Protoss will crush all!

  • PROTOSS FTW! but they cant do much since they have strong but small armies.. zerg.. on the other hand.. think of them as china: Strength in numbers. =p

  • Umm, if there cant b a sc 2(I HOPE THER IS!) i hope thell b a sc movie

  • There is a Starcraft 2 now :D

  • I know!! Sooo awesome!

  • bad ass lol

    i like how they finally showed the yamato gun in this one. its sick

  • nerds

  • go to hell - osea vete a la mierda

  • stfu - narrow minded fool of a Took - laughs*

  • this would be the best FPS ever

  • If I were a Terran that bitched about the Confederacy, and not knowing what really happened[with Raynor & Stuff]... After that Spech... I Would Follow Mensgk to Hell.

  • I SHALL WATCH OVER YOU
