naked snake is a lie?!

Whereas MGS2 was a story with an uplifting message of self determination, freedom from emulating a war legend, and discovering the truth, MGSV is the opposite, a cautionary tale in which a man (YOU) fully accepts the fiction of being someone else and being forgotten in a sea of lies. Venom was just the test run for the S3 program the whole time.

@@Glamosapien what I meant to say was that Venom is what the Patriots would have wanted Raiden to be like. While this process took a lot of time and money to replicate, it was successful at using Raiden to fulfill their ends but no longer had a use for him after that. Venom was just stuck in the role until the end of his life. This was then replicated in the SOP system in MGS4 with hundreds of thousands of soldiers being molded to become just another Snake, just another self made protagonist only this time it was more blatant, copypasta renditions now more easily replicated. The BB corps were also just copypasta Foxhound (and by extension Cobra Unit members) with similar backstories that are so stereotypical and generic but that was the point.

I always thought the whole “he’s experienced all of your missions on record” had a double meaning, as in also referring to the player who played the previous games. That through the act of playing and immersing ourselves into the game, we in a sense take on the identity of the character

And that sounds fitting. Kojima has made it clear, at least since MGS2, that a lot of the 'experience' with the events of the game has to do as much with what the player is experiencing going through the game as much as the events the character goes through. As much as S3 was this event that took place involving Raiden and NY, the player was involved in the lie finding halfway through that the experience they thought were getting was in fact not it, not unlike the parallel of playing MGSV and its events.

Yeah, MGS2 was very much about Kojima's frustration with Konami's approach to sequels, and how that might negatively impact the player, as it is about what's happening in his fictional world. "All they can do is repeat the same pattern," refers to both The Patriots and his publishers. After all, even if Raiden wasn't at Shadow Moses, the player has probably player MGS and The VR missions before MGS2, and has all the skills and story knowledge needed. Why try to surprise them with the same story twists? However. he is also very strict about keeping a cannon of events and calling back even the oldest games in the series, with the singular exception of Solid Snakes Revenge, which he contradicts as often as possible ("I don't like to use knives").

So does that mean the difference between Venom Snake and Raiden is that Venom accepted his role?

No because venom snake was not a pawn for the patriots, his role was to draw they're fire while big boss waged war against them, raiden was simply being used by them. The same thesis but for 2 sides, which is why v's story line has so many gaps that need filling. Why would zero be directly involved with the creation of the agent whose mission was to draw his fire?? Best i can think of is venom was created by zero in order to be a sleeper agent amongst big boss's ranks for whatever reason much like paz. MgsV really is weird

Imagine in Peace Walker, Venom chilling on your Medical staff tab

Raiden is about moving on from Snake. Venom is about wanting more of snake and more Metal Gear. Raiden goes on to become somone Venom becomes Bigboss and dies to your idol, Snake in a old game from the MSX.

Omg, i just realized that Venom Snake didn't hate being Venom Snake at all! He was a dedicated soldier to Big Boss in the first place, so to live as him and to get the messages he does from Big Boss has to feel like the greatest accomplishment to him.

I don’t know… could he really feel all that accomplished playing Big Boss and taking credit for what he’d done and not actually earn the respect and loyalty Soldiers had towards Big Boss. Plus, now he can’t make his own legend. And he can NEVER achieve his own legend status. No one would ever know who he was before his life and mind were ripped from him by Zero and Big Boss himself. Personally I think Zero and Big Boss didn’t intend for Venom to go “Demon” on the world. He just need to be a distraction. So at the end when Venom smirks when hearing he is now also Big Boss, I think it’s a smirk that says “You just fucked up John. Cause I’m going to take this power and legend you gave me and use it to tarnish your legend. I’m going watch the world burn and it YOU who’s gonna be the fall guy this time. Not me.”

@@1o1roman1o1 But there’s still only ONE REAL Big Boss. And trust me I completely understand the killing Big Boss twice stuff. So not sure why that came up. While the intention was for Venom to be a villain to draw eyes onto himself and not the real Big Boss, but he went too far. And so what if it’s technically his legacy too, that doesn’t mean it’s actually his and it also doesn’t mean that because he shares that legacy he wouldn’t do anything jeopardize that legacy. That doesnt mean that after hearing the truth and it doesnt fuck him up in someway knowing that the leader he gave everything to, ripped his identity away from him and memories implanted into his psyche. That’s mentally traumatizing. Conscience because he’s not himself anymore, and subconsciously because his original self is still there under the surface. Hence breaking the mirror and smirk. Big Boss gave him a get of jail free card, and the ability to lead any soldier in the world. So he takes it too far, with the intent of making Big Boss out to be more of a monster than he actually was. Knowing that, sure, eventually someone’s gonna kill him but that still doesn’t change the fact that now Big Boss has to shoulder the burden of the blame for the things Venom did in his name, jeopardizing everything all for Revenge. The theme of the game is revenge, so why the fuck wouldn’t the most pivotal twist in the game, the Truth, wouldn’t then lead to an Act or series of Actions of revenge from someone who had his mind and body stolen by the person he just took a piece of shrapnel to the head for, by destroying the very imagine of Big Boss in the eyes of the world. Exacting his own revenge because his Phantom Pain is the pain that his personality was essentially killed by Big Boss and buried into his subconscious. I sure as fuck know Id want to get revenge if what happened to the Medic happened to me.

@@daddy_1453 I don’t think he was angry about not being able to make his own legend, I just used that as an example in my first comment. If you read my second comment I go in depth into why I think Venom would actually want revenge on Big Boss. I also think him punch the mirror is him shattering the illusion of him believing he’s big boss like he did all through MGV, but symbolically it also represents the shattering of his psyche. As I stated previously, what Big Boss and Zero did to him mental is EXTREMELY TRAUMATIZING. Especially on the subconscious level. To have one’s identity ripped from them or buried deep within their mind to build a new identity, that takes a toll on the mind. Plus there’s also the shrapnel in his brain that’s gonna change anyone on a fundamental level just like boxers or football players receiving too many concussions and it changing them to be more violent and erratic. At the end of the day, sure we’re all just speculating and technically we all get to decide why each of our own Venom ends up where they do at the end of MG1 but if we continue with MGSV’s theme of revenge it would appear what Venom does up till the end of MG1 is to tarnish Big Boss legacy further as revenge for what they did to Venom. But that’s just my interpretation.

@@rocknflip66 I'm confused by the last part of your comment, but I will try to answer anyways. It's established in MGSV that Zero was already in a coma since the beginning of the TPP. One of the last tapes reveals that skullface had injected him with something and that injured him enough to put him in a coma. MGS4 and V make it clear throughout that Cipher, the organization, started to go on its own path once zero went into a coma, and BB was trying to build his own organization to counter its expansion. At the end of MGSV it's revealed that BB is just starting work in Zanzibar land at the same time as the phantom. The reason BB was able to lead snake to the phantom in MG1 was because he was head of Foxhound in the 90s, probably undercover to spy on Cipher. Presumably his cover was blown right after (To the world he died when the phantom did), and he quietly fled to Zanzibar since he had no where else to be. By the time of MG2, Cipher sent Snake to deal with the real BB since he had always been on a warpath with them. This is all just guesswork on my part, but it could still work out. I'm sure an actual writer could make more sense out of this hypothetical.

Nah, Big Boss and Venom are working together in MG1

MGSV was merely the early stages of the S3 Plan and venom snake along with the events of operation snake eater was essentially it’s paradigm. What makes this concept so interesting on a number of levels is if you think about it any MG game post big boss era, which is I would say his era ends once he’s known or at least portrayed as a villain during the events of outer heaven, each game tries to in someway mirror the events of snake eater that made big boss who he is. For example MG, MG2, MGS1, and MGS2 are merely a progressing of the S3, seeing how all of them are similar in a way. Solid Snake has to take down big boss to be recognized as the legendary soldier or at least an attempt to be his predecessor, especially considering the fact that he’s one of the three clones of BigBoss. Lol I already ramble enough as it is, so I’ll finish up and say this Venom Snake, Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, Solidus Snake, and Raiden we’re all intentionally meant to be a copy shaped in the image of big boss both directly and indirectly. Some through genetic engineering, others through social engineering, natural experiences or through a manipulation of orchestrated events.

@InTheMindOfDavid

2 жыл бұрын

Yeah a cast off leech and parasite. Once Big Boss and Zero made their deal in the hospital behind Miller’s back, he was officially cut out of Big Boss’s inner circle and from the Patriots entirely. That’s why once he found out about the truth of who Venom was, Miller declared war on Big Boss and Zero swearing to bring them down and began training Solid Snake with specific intent to assassinate Big Boss. He was shown that he never held any real power. It just confirmed that he was actually in fact a parasite latched onto Big Boss and Zero which he even admits to being after Venom rescued him in Afghanistan. Miller was just the middle man Zero used to reestablish contact with Big Boss, and someone to help manage MSF while Big Boss went out and made a legend of himself. Once Zero was back in the picture, due to his virtually limitless funds and VAST information network of contacts, Miller held absolutely ZERO (heh) value. There was nothing he could do that Zero couldn’t, and WAY less than Zero could. Plus, he had already proved to Big Boss that he was a liability when he tried to use Cypher for personal gain behind Big Boss’s back, never realizing that he was the one being used. He couldn’t be trusted. Let’s not forget that Zero never betrayed Big Boss. Not once. He never sold Big Boss out. They only had a falling out because of the Les Enfants Terribles project Zero was conducting without the consent or approval of Big Boss and because they each had opposing understanding of the Boss’s Will which would come later when Big Boss leaves FOXHOUND to create Zanzibar Land. There was no treachery whatsoever. By the time Skull Face and XOF destroyed Mother Base affectively destroying everything MSF was, Big Boss was probably about to cut Miller loose anyway. He just happened to become comatose for 9 years before he could get the chance. Zero’s offer once Big Boss woke up just ended up happening because it was the first thing that came up. Not to mention Zero had everything ready to go. Except this time Zero learned from his previous mistake with Les Enfants Terribles and waited for Big Boss to wake up to get his approval before enacting the plan. They both knew that just like Skull Face, Miller wouldn’t just accept Big Boss cutting him loose. He’d have a… reaction, which is just confirmed by how he reacts to finding out the truth about Venom, so thus necessitating what they would end up doing to the Medic and creating Venom, so as to distract Kaz and by time to escape into the shadows without Kaz ever knowing and preventing him from being able to hunt down or revealing Big Boss and Zero’s reunion to Skull Face. Kaz Miller was a treacherous Snake-in-the-grass (heheh) that had proven he was very well willing to sell out his “partners” and “friends” to the highest bidder, and the only reason he hadn’t sold Big Boss out to Skull Face wasn’t because he wanted revenge for XOF destroying MSF, and sure as fuck wasn’t because he was Big Boss’s friend and partner and believed such a betrayal to be unthinkable. Not even close, we’re led to believe that and assume it to be true not realizing and connecting the dots that 9 year had passed… why hadn’t Miller come for Big Boss? Why did Zero withhold Big Boss’s whereabouts from Miller during those 9 years? Why did Zero feel he had to? Well, perhaps it was be Miller was a shady fuck and would have sold Big Boss out to Skull Face exactly like he did in 1974 during the Peace Walker Incident. Plus you’re gonna have me believe that 9 whole years pass and Miller is so filled with a desire for revenge against XOF that he literally doesn’t nothing in those 9 years to deal any sort of blow to them? Or that Miller and his team of trained Information Analysts and in-turn being an Analyst himself, knew almost nothing about Skull Face and XOF. Just the bare minimum a whole 9 years later? Or just sat twiddling his thumbs for 9 years despite supposedly being so filled with a desire for revenge against Skull Face for destroying MSF and killing his “comrades”? Bullshit. Miller just wanted revenge for XOF taking his means of making money: MSF, and then taking his arm and leg too. Period. If that hadn’t happened and he knew where Big Boss was he would have sold him out in no-time-flat. Period. Fuck Miller.

No but it does explain what happened to the metal Gear that was in mgs5

I don't think that they are referring to Venom Snake specifically but the meaning of the whole program the patriots made from scratch to turn any person into big boss, regulating the intensity of the program in favor of what kind of soldier they needed.

Kojima is the guy with the board full of conspiracies and red lines connecting them all

I remember playing MGS2 and thought "wth are they talking about, this scene is weird. Now I'm older and I fully understand the weight of what they were discussing.

I was in high school when MGS2 came out, so I grasped the content pretty well, but even then you still do notice more nuance with every subsequent playthrough, and the way social media is now makes the content feel a little more on-the-nose every year

Well that's a common theme between all the MGS games. The hole idea of recreating Snake with someone else has been a theme since the beginning.

I thought about this for a while. It doesn't matter if GZ was "VR" or not, Venom is V's Raiden either way (playing the record's B-side after the A-side everyone wanted)

It’s because the original game had a part where you thought you killed the big boss, but it was really just venom snake. MgsV was all to cover a plot hole from like 20 years before.

Venom snake died on outer heaven but there are still a lot of unanswered questions. Why did he break the mirror at the end of the phantom pain? Did he find "the truth hidden in the lies"? And if so why did he agree to die for big boss? Clearly we didn't get the "missing link to complete the saga" that was promised.

I also still think that Big Boss found another copy that Solid Snake ended up killing in Zanzibar Land. It’s the reason why he never acknowledged Solid as his son the whole time. The second supposed Big Boss double of course didn’t know the secret history behind Solid Snake and “The Real Big Boss”. I could be wrong though, but I still believe that there were 2 or probably more Big Boss Body Doubles, with of course Venom Snake being one of them, and he became the Commander of Outer Heaven Base.

We're all just clones of the One true Big Boss. His memories and actions continue to haunt us forever as we awaken with an identity that people either highly respect or want our heads for. Mercenaries are never truly Good or Evil. Let that sink in.

As someone who’s only played MGS5 phantom pain. This is kinda horrifying. His past is our past now.

The editing in this is so good. Great video!

Superb video, I always focused on the clear relation of the AI ideology from MGS2 to MGS4, it’s great to see it come to a full circle

I mean, is it that shocking if MGS2 is in the future, and revisiting this story point was probably always in the cards.

Looking through at the comments and comparing Venom Snake to Raiden about their choices after their own "S3 plan", it made me think the irony that is Big Boss. He didn't like what Zero did when the Les Enfants Terrible project came about, but was perfectly fine with a test version of the S3 plan by Zero himself

It's nice he built Venom Snake from dialogue from previous MGS's instead of planning him before hand. Then again he never planned on making more sequels.

Everytime I hear these conversations from MGS 2 and 5 is that they're so true even till this day. MGS2 predicted what would come long before it happened, but nobody wanted to believe it at the time, they wanted to believe it was all merely fiction. Oh how wrong those people were, I realized this long ago when I played through MGS2 for the first time ever, I may not of fully understood the full context of those words then, but I felt they meant something much bigger, I would say it shaped my ideology of today to see bigger meaning in all of these things.

🤯 it makes so much sense now

2:35 Listening the infamous Colonel/Rose A.I.'s speech to Raiden from Metal Gear Solid 2 being "overlapped" on Punished "Venom" Snake's arc in the "Metal Gear Solid V Experience" may also cause some major "Déjà-vu" about most of my social media activities with the "audience" since March 12th 2017 in particular "for a S-Special reason."

As complex as the Metal Gear story is, I gotta say the way they deliver this type of stuff is really good. And really intense even

I don't even think it's that complicated. It's all about giving Context to all of the content :b Just think about MGS2. Sure, if you play it the first time, usually it will confuse the hell out of you. But if you think about it a bit longer after playing, it clears up to you that 3/4 or the entire story that was told to Raiden until the end of the game, was made of lies and cover up stories. Take those away and concentrate of the 10-15 minutes of revealed truth and it will be much more clear. Kinda the same with the other games, too. There are always big twists that reveal the truth to a certain degree. You just have to focus on them. That's why I love this series so much. You never really stop to think about the games, even years after playing them.

I’m thoroughly convinced that you are Kojima’s apprentice. Excellent work!

Metal Gear solid 2 is the Neon Genesis Evangelion of Video Games, its all action up front, then back halved with existential Dread, philosophical meaning, and a cop out ending due to behind the scenes shenanigans XD

Guys i apologize for keeping this as a secret from all of you. But i think that the time has come to tell. I'm Venom Snake.

This is really well edited and put together.

It feels weird that the original Big Boss was Honed Naked Snake to take the mantel of "Big Boss" from her, then decades later Big Boss (Naked Snake) would be physically replaced by a body double and meant continue The Big Boss' legacy, and then his twin clones were both brought up to be pitted against each other in order to determine which Clone would become Big Boss, and finally Raiden (at least in my opinion) was brought up to become the Newest version of Big Boss by reliving Solid Snakes VR Tanker Mission numerous times! Its like the world of Metal Gear NEEDS someone to be Big Boss rather it be a direct descendant of the man or a random person who has been virtually trained to become Big Boss! Which will reign supreme, Nurture (a child manipulated to become something) or Nature (a child who becomes something under their own volition through their own experiences)... Do the Genetics matter or does the Machine truly make the man?

Great video, so much work clearly went into it.

Kojima saw what was coming.

so... kojima played us LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE?!?!?!?!?!

This is mine favorite theory and fan channel, I normally hate this type of channels but your a true professional, you dont just throw theories without prove, that makes you SPECIAL.

20 years ago, 15 years from the release of MGSV, Kojima already had every details in place... I remember how strange this moment felt in MGS2, so out of place, like i was missing an entire game, or even several games, even if I played all of them at the time... We'll never say it enough, Kojima is the best video game creator in the History.

Got to love how there is always an continuous gag, proves how complete and full of flow story writing. Also, life lessons

Memetic comparisons is all that MGS4 is about.

This video scared me a little bit because these are real connections between multiple games that I completely missed.

This is why MGSV is a Masterpiece, and MGS2 has the best content in the Saga. So underrated game. This is why I love this Saga so much, because Kojima has thought of each chapter long before it came out and we can see the references in older games, bringing together all the pieces of the puzzle. I remember I was blown away when I discovered in MGS4 that already from MGS1 it was possible to discover that Shadow Moses was all a set up by Revolver Ocelot in order to use Rex's railgun to destroy the Patriots in a later moment o.O

Wait a second... Kojima predicted MGSV??? That's nuts! Also, in this video: An AI bullies child soldier for 8 minutes straight

It is definitely a series of games and content that makes you think long amd hard about reality. Especially when you consider how information is handled in the real world these days. We live in a time when we have to question everything. It's all very relevant.

Even operation intrude №313 is a recreation of snake eater operation. The theme of memes and scene being dominant over genes is consistent trough every metal gear instalment.

I try not to think about it too deep, it's self contradictory. I like this meme better cause it isn't really contradictory at all, it's just saying the person you send it too doesn't deserve free will.

If you want a MGS5 theory, I do have one about the unnamed medic's identity before becoming Venom Snake... I am fairly certain his codename was Morpho, who was also the main pilot of the supporting helicopter in Ground Zeroes. They couldn't just take a random soldier and make him into a copy of Big Boss, I'm fairly certain they mentioned him previously being one of the best soldiers of MSF, which is a good reason to bring him along as backup. To hide the medic during certain panning shots of the interior of the helicopter during Ground Zeroes, he couldn't be in the room, and the only place he could have realistically gone is the cockpit... He does have a co-pilot who could take over while he would be in the back to check over Paz and remove the bomb from the stomach so he could reasonably have been a pilot and a combat medic. Then there are the scenes with Paz, he's getting those hallucinations about her being alive out of the idea of failing to save her. and the picture that makes him remember the truth about what happened on that helicopter and wake from the dream, is a picture of a Morpho butterfly. Additionally, blue butterflies (which the Morpho definitely is), often symbolize Healing, Life and Death... Which could tie his codename back to his identity as a combat medic.

Jesus, Kojima has such an absurd skill to make lines that not only act as a plot point that creates an incredible amount of context, but to not only do it in a way that almost no one can tell if it's breaking the 4th wall. Then later use those concepts to make people wonder if THIS was what he was talking about.

Beautiful video

And people have the audacity to call MGS2 a bad game

Can you explain me why venom really built a Metal gear in MG1? Because the story of MGSV does portray him as a anti-nuclear type of guy and I think his act of building a metal gear lead to his story end (Forgive me if it's a dumb question because I'm not that sound in the lore of very early games in the series) because I was just curious what could change such characters beliefs and well ultimately the whole implications of OPERATION INTRUDE. I was wondering why was Venom send a cassette tape about the operation which was to take place? Because wouldn't take make him much more prepared for the fight? Or was this tape actually the last order by Big Boss for Venom to follow. (I think I read that Big Boss didn't actually expected Solid Snake to succeed and some False information stuff) But I'm just curious about this substantial change of nature of venom and if there were any hints given in why venom would take such a step. And lastly another question, what happened to Miller and ocelot during operation intrude? They are virtually absent in metal gear 1 story. Did they just abandoned venom to his fate?

@CaptainPrincess

tbh I think venom was only anti-nuke in V cause miller was, and I think even after learning how he was brainwashed he was still open to suggestion cause I think the whole time in V venom has been open to suggestion, as part of his big boss brainwashing, letting miller and ocelot guide him into building the legend cause youll notice, I dont think venom has more than one or two original thoughts of his own in all of phantom pains, mostly he just goes along with what miller and ocelot tell him to do, and I dont think that was an INTENTIONAL part of his brainwashing but I think the process left him open like that, and I think it lingered well past his learning who he really is which means I think he built the metal gear because he was guided into doing so, despite being anti-nuke

It is Amazing how you put the soundtrack from Database Events from MGS4 in the background music, do you all realized how kojima watched all the little details to brings us the perfect match stories and the perfect background soundtrack at the same time?
