[@TheGrayMysterious]

You know what I actually find interesting (and heartbreaking) about the whole Venom Snake reveal? It potentially recontextualizes Big Boss' entire relationship with Solid Snake. Venom probably heavily resents Big Boss for essentially erasing Venom's former identity and using him as a fall guy while he goes off to do his own shit, so he'd probably do whatever he could to undermine BB without directly betraying him. That's why Big Boss comes across like a Bond villain in Metal Gear 1 but is closer to the war-ravaged idealogue we normally consider him as in Metal Gear 2; not just because they're different people, but because Venom used his resemblance to Big Boss to play the guy up as more heartless, evil and insane than he really was, deliberately to turn Snake against him. Maybe Big Boss was planning on inducting Snake into Outer Heaven's ranks at some point since he says himself that he always respected Snake as a soldier and a man, but Venom's desire for revenge deliberately drove them apart.

[@MerkhVision]

I think you’re spot on with that assessment, thats really super interesting!

[@cooppp]

While I know many fans do not like the ending and the twist, I feel it's perfect for the main theme of the game. Literal phantom pain refers to the sensation an individual feels in a body part they no longer have. The title Phantom Pain is supposed to evoke feelings of loss and the pain of knowing everything Snake and his allies have lost. Snake loses his men, his arm, his sense of color at certain point. Miller too loses his men, his arm, and his leg. Both lose their chance at revenge when Huey kills Skullface. Snake must kill his infected men. Quiet leaves. Huey is revealed to be a monster and outcasted from the base. Eli steals the Metal Gear and is never resolved. Hell, Zero is proven to not be the horrible person Big Boss thought he was in MGS 4, which makes his killing of the man all the more tragic. But the biggest tragedy in the game is Snake himself. Many feel the reveal is supposed to be some fourth wall breaking congratulations for the player. You finally get to be Big Boss! You're his legacy! But if anything that's what Big Boss wanted Venom Snake to believe. The truth is that Venom Snake has lost the worst thing anyone can lose; his sense of identity. Venom's old self will be completely forgotten by history. It's almost a perfect analogy to The Boss. The USA sacrificed The Boss for their own good; Big Boss sacrifices Venom, his best man. Venom's old self is discarded and he is forced to play a role he never asked for. Until his eventual death by Solid Snake, Venom had to deal with the pain of not only losing his old self, but the realization he is not Big Boss.

[@vandad13]

well big boss was reluctant to the idea at first and kinda just went along with it after convincing from ocelot the venom snake idea was zero's really I'm sure he had some regret for venom losing his identity

[@phantombigboss8429]

Darkhg I fully agree you and love your statement. you couldn't have it say it better than myself.

[@tenacious645]

Phantom Pain’s main story somewhat confuses me with its fanservice. On the one hand, it brings back elements most Metal Gear didn’t ask for, like Volgin as the Man on Fire or kid Liquid Snake and Psycho Mantis. However, things that are both important and that fans would like to see like Zero’s regret for his actions and remorse for Big Boss, are left to optional tape recordings. At least with MGS4’s fanservice, it pulled out all the stops.

14:25 - I don't know if anyone else has answered you on this, but I just 100%ed the game myself last night. 240 hours, 40 minutes is what the game log told me. A good third of that was spent on mission retries, FOB missions, or me just bumping around the hub worlds to find random pickups. Even with 100%, though, there's STILL more game. I still have about 4 dozen challenge tasks remaining, I have three FOB sites that are not fully built, there are the FOB missions themselves, I have only researched and developed about 65% of the equipment, and I haven't even touched Metal Gear Online (which IS still running). So, yeah, there is an ass load of content for this game. And new stuff is still being added to this day.

My own theory as to why chapter 3 was scrapped was not only due to the Kojima/ Konami debacle but a story reason. Think of it this way, after we learn that Venom Snake isn't Big Boss the game ends, the rug is pulled from under our feet etc. Knowing that fact and letting the story continue, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of the ending? We continue our adventures as this medic, who isn't the Big Boss we know and love from previous games. I don't know, food for thought.

[@Brandonious15987]

+Captainjjb84 That makes a lot of sense but I think the real reason is a lot stupider. On top of the money issues maybe the big reveal was suppose to happen after chapter 3 and chapter 2 was meant to end either after Quiet's death or after Snake makes the diamonds from the ashes. Finding out Venom Snakes identity halfway through the game is very weird for pacing.

Honestly man this was a great Marathon you did.:) Recently I have been getting into the series due to curiosity and from what I played I ended up loving MGS a lot. And yeah trust me man I watched all your Marathon videos on this series and you did a fantastic job man.:) The games I have played in this series ended up making me a fan of it.(Those being Metal Gear,Metal Gear Solid, Metal Gear Solid 2,Metal Gear Rising and lastly Metal Gear Solid 3.)

Watching this series of videos in 2019! You’ve done a great job with the MGS series of videos. Just a shame it ends on phantom pain. But still you’ve done a stellar job 👌🏽

i think the reason he was a fake snake was so it could solve the MG1 big boss problem.

[@RickGrimes807]

Jerec 12 There never was any problem or plot hole. It was clearly said from the beginning that Big Boss simply survived the MG1 incident.

So about Metal Gear Survive.... *brick't*

[@Nison545]

Damn, you really outdid yourself with the pacing and editing of this video. Good job Johnny.

I've waited so long for u to review the mother series holy shit I'm crying

[@jacksonholder2987]

Johnny should have said, "Hijacks Sahelanthropus and leaves to go do genie things." I would have died laughing if he said that.

[@wolfpacknick8285]

I gotta say Johnny, Thank You! I may never have discovered this series if you didn't do a marathon on it. Since it started I've fallen in love with these games and can't wait to see what you think of the Mother games. (which another one of my favorite series.)

[@VGFanatic]

good work on these man, thoroughly entertaining throughout. can't wait for the mother series

[@stopmotiongamer6144]

[@Nixitur]

Ground Zeroes, also known as Metal Gear "I can't believe we did this shit and our reputation is still" Solid.

[@thecommenter6773]

+Nixitur konami has a reputation? i thought they fucked it as hard as the 'fans' fucked them

[@victorhugocosta1127]

Imo Ground Zeroes is much more fun to come back to than PP, so I guess they did the right call

[@superbusstarodub]

The Fake Boss twist was the final nail in MGS5s story

[@sanddry738]

I've always enjoyed the humor in your reviews and it's great to see how you use that in the Metal Gear franchise

[@GameFrankAdvance]

Metal Gear has come to a close. This marathon was the final push I needed to try the series out and I'm so glad I did now. Thank you Johnny.
