​@@clearlydc Thank you so much! 😀 Unfortunately much of our content prior to MGSV's release was quite controversial due to our theory that Venom Snake was a Brainwashed New Snake and not Big Boss, which led to quite a lot of hate and thus people ended up not subscribing or even unsubscribing in the process 😅 Obviously this reception changed drastically once people completed the game and saw that most of what we theorized came to fruition. In the end our goal remains to share our longtime passion for this franchise whether we gain enough subs or not, but we appreciate your kind comment 😉 YouTubing is not our full-time job so it ain't always easy finding enough time to work on such videos...

that's not what dominant and recessive genes refer to. both liquid and solid were made to suss out which genes were the actual "soldier" genes of big boss. Dominant simply means they are more likely to express themselves over recessive genes. not stronger, not weaker.

He’s also a good person unlike almost everyone in the MGS universe. Let’s not forget that.

There's a couple of explanations: 1, he's a genetically enhanced human, directly from Big Boss' DNA, and 2, he has the Recessive traits, which in a way, makes him rely more on skills and focus, more than being arrogant about having the "Dominant Genes" and allowing his "natural" ability to guide him WITHOUT focusing on training and dedication to the craft of war; which in my opinion, was Liquid Snakes' downfall.

1:30 that track," Elisa" from Portable Ops, I always loved how much emotion it evokes.

This was fantastic. Kojima's storytelling was beyond convoluted but still, he managed to convey an incredible story about so many characters, the central ones having lived such tragic lives that really resonates and transcends that feeling of connection.

Honestly more than anything, it was the characters that carried the games. The stories themselves were interesting but as you pointed out, a bit convoluted at times.

The ability to repeat anything and make it sound epic. Genetically engineered to keep us waiting. There are many Snakes, only one is Solid

What makes him different? Hes a badass

The way I see it, Big Boss was a better soldier, but Solid Snake was a better man. Boss even says in MGS4 that if Solid was in his place, maybe he wouldn't have made the same mistakes.

“Live Snake... that’s all I can say to you...” -Dr. Naomi Hunter

I feel like Meryl should've got married to Snake at the end of Guns of Liberty if only for old times' sake and as a show of appreciation for the old boy, while still being Johnny's wife of course for all practical purposes.

Had they been granted a normal life, and Big Boss doesn't reject them, things would of turned out differently. It was until the very last moment of Big Boss's life where he finally accepts Solid Snake when he meets him for the last time before dying to the mutated Fox Die.

The inferior copy who saved humanity. Solid is the true hero of the Metal Gear saga.

Happy there are people who still make MGS content. True heros🔥🔥

Other video game protagonist like Samus, Doom Guy, Dante and Master Chief have been through hell. But they don’t know what it’s like to live as a clone and knowing that you don’t have a future.

He's dummy thicc. That's reason #1

What makes Solid Snake so badass is despite him knowing that he'll die soon, He still fights for a better tomorrow.

We're not tools of the government, or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing I was good at, but.. at least I always fought for what I believed in.

Solid Snake is the greatest Snake that has ever lived. Big boss started out good, but ultimately he went rohue and rotten to the core up to the point he didn't even care about his comrades anymore( look what he did to Venom with the aid of Zero) at the end of MGS4, Big Boss recognizes Snake as the better man and that Solid Snake was the only guy who truly inherited The Boss's will. Solid Snake saved the world many times and by the time of MGS4 he even told cambell he would save the world and that he didn't need Cambell's money. The guy is truly a genuinely good human being.

Fax tho 🤷🏾‍♂️

Because he's a clone, he will experience rapid ageing. But, on top of that he has such an outdated version of Big Boss's Nano machines, the foxdie (which was outdated too.) from the DIA were suppose to kill him, like they did, Liquid. But, since Solid Snake's verizon of foxdie mutated on top of of his rapid cellular division, after he visibly aged we come to find out at the end of MGS4 The new foxdie wasn't strong enough to take over the old foxdie which caused a cancellation of Snake's foxdie. So since the DIA couldn't use their nanomachines to kill Solid Snake(Since he has both the same genetic code and nanomachines from big boss) He only has to worry about his rapid ageing killing him. Solid Snake is the only Verizon of the Original Big Boss that actually has a chance to live a partially normal life in his final months to year's. So, I'd say it's just the fact he had a chance at a normal life On an off note I'd like to speculate on the fact if Big Boss didn't use body pieces from Liquid and Solidus FoxDie never would of killed him at the end of MGS4 but ironically they were the only people that they could take pieces from to rebuild Naked Snake during his 15yr coma.

Dang snake really did have a hard life :(

Hey if Liquid lived, would he too age rapidly since he had the dominant gene?

MGS is one of those master pieces that is so rare, I doubt I'll ever play, no experience anything like it again.

I don't know how to find proof of what I'm about to say except for a picture in the fandon wiki, but it claims in the Japanese version of MGS4 the clones had their DNA tested against Big Boss'. Liquid has a 4.87% difference from BB and Solid has a 5.3% difference. Doing a little bit of research humans have a .1% difference in DNA from each other at most, and most of that DNA is eye, hair, skin color, etc. Seeing as how the clones look like BB that % changed in their DNA must be other things. On a similar note we share about 5% of our DNA with a dolphin. Solid Snake is about genetically as close to another human as a dolphin is.

Back in 2008 and 2009, I was wondering if in the distant future (sometime after 2014, cause you know, the same year MGS 4 was) I asked myself "Will people still make interesting content about MGS? Will it still be as moving and as interesting as people are doing now?" In 2020, I am glad something came out of this year. This is good. Isn't it?

Very very well edited. Only thing that could improve this video would be a narrator for the text. Great job!

It's quite simple. It's not his genes, his training or gadgets. It's his sheer unbreakable power of will. He's an unstoppable force for good. The universe itself bends to his will. Even though he's fictional, he's someone to look up to and that makes all the difference in the world. Even though it's Kojima's baby I consider MGS to be humanity's magnum opus.

Awesome video. Stuff like this always sucks me back into the series.

What is the soundtrack at the “physical prodigy” part?? That’s so fitting!

Solid is the best the real hero.

Wouldn't have an MSF tattoo if I didn't agree with Big Boss' philosophy before he lost his way.

Thanks to both genetic influence and the way he was raised, Solid Snake was doomed to be addicted to war from the moment he was born. He never stood a chance to live a happy or peaceful life. It's a sad thing to think about but in his last days, Solid Snake was probably very despressed and died a very sad man (Snake developed a drinking problem in Alaska because he couldn't cope without war). War was literally all he had, like a drug addict that can't help but continuessly relapsing. Big Boss might have "set him free" but unfortunately I fear it was far far too late to fix him.

Like this channel I'm stoked on how deep this Creator goes to shows us the extensive research and meaning behind Metal Gear Solid series goes. #tagKojima #kojima #KOJIMA
