"Less infants terribles"

Remember this is big boss's body double, the test are negative. But it is a mind twist when we figured out everything in the end; amazing work Kojima.

When I first played this in 2015 I was so dumbfounded by this tape. In hindsight, this should have made the twist obvious.

Fingolfin is better!

So Sad that Venom Snake is not BigBoss aka. Naked Snake. But we all know.

Where's George?

0:04 i knew based Ocelot was based but damn, Cecile is SEETHING

Taken the long way Dark realms I went through I arrived, my vision's so clear In anger and pain I left deep wounds behind But I arrived Truth might be changed by victory Beyond the void but deep within me A swamp of filth exists A lake it was of crystal beauty But Arda's spring went by I've heard the warning Well, curse my name! I'll keep on laughing No regret, no regret Don't fear the eyes of the dark lord Morgoth, I cried All hope is gone but I swear revenge Hear my oath I will take part in your damned fate I, I will always remember their cries Like a shadow which covers the light I will always remember the time But it's past I cannot turn back the time Don't look back There's still smoke near the shore But I arrived Revenge be mine I will take part in your damned fate Morgoth, I cried It's my oath! So don't fear the eyes of the dark lord Run! Suddenly I realized (soon you will be free) The prophecies I've never believed in (set your spirit free) My deeds were wrong I've stained the land and slain my kin (burning soul) No release from my sins It hurts (the curse of Fëanor runs long) Time and only time will tell us Tell, was I right or wrong? When anger breaks through I'll leave mercy behind I will take part in your damned fate Morgoth, I cried It's my oath So don't fear the eyes of the dark lord I, I will always remember their cries Like a shadow they'll cover my life But I'll also remember mine After all I'm still alive I'm still alive (I'm still alive) Morgoth, I cried All hope is gone but I swear revenge Hear my oath I will take part in your damned fate

Maybe I'm missing something here, but how did Zero get BB's DNA to clone him? Was it a blood sample or was there a brave soldier, with an empty Dixie cup and "extracted" the DNA from BB's loins?

"I never trust a Frenchman" -Revolver Ocelot, Metal Gear Solid 2

Feanor was still one of the worst elven kings for me, he just messed uo everyone else's life for his pride, killed his brethren, was unfair to Fingolfin, died in the first battle getting no revenge, fucked up everyone else's life with that stupid oath. People *hear a song : Feanor was soooo cooool!

this feels like Mortal Combat Theme

But i arrived!

THE most under-rated song of BG. THE song they need to play at every concert, just like The Bard's Song. Can't believe even the BG crowd are fcking clowns like the rest of this Clownworld for not realizing this.

Boss, I gotta tell ya, I looked at what little we know about David, and it’s been keeping me up at night. For a child to accomplish THAT, and already have military connections, it ain’t out off the question of crossing paths someday, it would b e very wise to stay off of his shitlist

ocelot: so yours sons... bigboss: they are not my sons. ocelot: well one escaped or abandoned.. bigboss*showing concern about eli*: where is he? why ? probally cuz is still just a kid. but i kinda like he cares a little

Gideon actually challenging Remus

Making my Pilgimmage to say Fëanor did nothing wrong.

Solid's upbringing never left the states huh? While having this talk Ocelot never guessed he'd be using the kid to replace body parts and merging personalities.

There were eight of them clones. We saw solid, liquid, and Solidus. But what about the other five clones?

Boy i sure hope that nothing bad come from that Eli fellow, Specially with Miller

I call this video game series Metal Gear Coma.

1 time listening: Hnm.... 2 time listening: Ehh..... OK! 3 time listening: After all... I'm still alive... I'm still alive... I'M STILL AAALLLIIIIVVVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !!! 🇧🇷✊

Funny how Big Boss is more wary to clones than the entire Jedi Order with Jango Fett's clones, even though they know nothing about them but that being said, wary or not, they all fall because of clones lol

Major Zero being both manipulative and genuinely care about Big Boss is really fascinating to me, it really make us have a conflicted feeling about him

DAVID left the states. I've always got a chill out of that. I'm heartbroken we'll never get to see another MGS. May it be Big Boss, may it be Solid Snake (Dave), or whomever. This is just sad. Fuck Konami. Also I love how they think of being "12 is old enough to think and act for himself". Nowadays you can't even trust people's comprehension of things and decisions until 25 and later LOL. What a world

This was the first Blind Guardian song I ever heard, a friend sent it to me over a horrible 56k modem connection in about 2002. It totally changed how I saw music. My "real life" friends were into punk (which is garbage,) so that's what I'd been exposed to, outside of my dad's Dad Rock collection.

I don't blame big boss for not viewing any of them as his kids there creation was a complete violation........its not the fault of the clones they didn't ask to be here either but the fact that big boss doesn't really feel anything towards them like that is understanable couldn't imagine how bizarre that scenario would be.

I missed this one, it’s so emotional and you can hear the sadness and regret in zero's voice. Afterall he was insane but with still humanity.

Me just imagining fëanor singing this song with maglor playing guitar directly after arriving in beleriand and his sons just joining in😂

Why they havent mentioned solidus?

Reminds me of Tete and Gideon

It's so funny you used Jenny Dolfen art for this when she HATES Blind Guardian, lmao

Amazing curse to live with!!

Zero: calling Jack an old friend in mgs5 Big Boss: killing Zero in mgs5 Friendship, my ass

Why they don't talk about Solidus?

Playing this tape unlocks the mission the man who sold the world

Ocelot's dislike for the French is likely a reference to MGS2 when he curses French surgeons for grafting "Liquid's" arm, he mentions this while talking to Solidus when you reach the hostages.

Blame the Valar

Feanor: "After all I'm still alive!" Gothmog and friends: "Yes, and that's a problem. Fortunately for Morgoth, we are very good at solving problems."

Les terrible enfant project was the androids in the red ribbon army.

How did Skull Face plan to have Zero prick his finger on a pin?

the sad thing is revenge was not his, and in his failure, he could not undo or redeem the mistakes of his past. He cursed himself and his line forever. But no one can say he did not try. embodiment of courage

I cannot turn back the time Don't look back There's still smoke near the shore But I arrived, revenge be mine Every single time I hear these lyrics every single hair in my body gets electrified. The combination of the context and the music damn bruh just too good Edit: lyrics correction and stuff

I recently gave this album another listen. What is astounding is that this was made and released before any of the films, series, etc... This is pure literate Metal art

Amazing song, and actually pretty accurate to the lore, unlike Rings of Power.

Big boss "I'm not paying child support"

I have a much greater appreciation for this title in the series, today. It’s only been 7 years but so many important subjects are being discussed here between Skull Face and Zero. Subjects relevant to even our social and political atmosphere in America. And in hindsight, Kojima did an excellent job tying everything together. Notice Zero mentioned both Genetics (MGS1) and Information Control (MGS2). And it’s all based on his obsession to honor the Boss; her will (MGS3). To add onto that, it’s ironic when you realize that both of these guys are completely convinced they are the leading authority on what the Boss wanted for the world. But just end up perverting it and becoming control freaks. Meanwhile, Big Boss still doesn’t even fully understand what she wanted. He doesn’t even come to a revelation on the matter until his death knell in MGS4. More than anything, he just loved her and misses her. And I think that last gasp for “Jack” by Zero here, really testifies to who Big Boss was in this whole story: the real legacy of the Boss. The rightful interpreter of her will.

Big Boss : They’re no sons of mine. Big Boss in MGS4 : My son, or should I call you brother?
