Metal Gear Solid: Revolver Ocelot Explained

[@RobSomeone]

Metal Gear Solid is a story about Adamska "Ocelot" Shalashaska trying to manipulate the world into getting rid of manipulation with side characters Snake, Snake, Snake, Snake, Snake, and Jack.

[@solidus1995]

@@lichking5389 how is he bad? Solidus wasnt even bad. Raiden was manipulated by the very system orchestrating every event Raiden thought he was fighting against. By the end of MGS4 liquid leaves ocelots body through battle with solid snake and he explains the whole plan. He wanted to use the system against itself. He realizes that power is a flat hierarchy and there will always be a dominant and submissive force. Ocelot decides its best to reset the world and let us decide again. He gave people a second chance.

[@Timliu92]

The fact that Ocelot is both a hero and a villain makes him one of the greatest video game characters ever written.

[@Stowneyo]

All of the villains across the series have subjective positions. Almost everyone was manipulated by war in some way. Fatman was the only one who just wanted to kill for notoriety

I don't think he can be considered a hero by any measure. He backstabs and murders lots of people, he loves torture for the sake of it and he wants to bring the world into a constant state of warfare because that's what Big Boss wanted.

[@miki49]

@@TheIrland09 Not quite. He respected Big Boss, and looked at him as a rival in the sibling sense as they “shared” the same mother (The Boss being Ocelot’s actual mother as well as Naked Snake’s figurative mother), but he wasn’t doing Big Boss’ will, he was doing The Boss’ will. What actually happened: Ocelot worked for the Patriots as a triple agent to take down the Patriots to allow all to live and let live like the Boss wanted, not to create a nation of soldiers without sovereignty, like Big Boss wanted. I agree that he did a lot of questionable things to get there, but that’s where the moral grey of the series shows itself here, as many would agree that some sacrifices would be worth making for the protection of the world/vast majority. People often misinterpret Ocelot’s feelings towards Big Boss. He’s not his disciple, his minion, his fan, or his drone. Again, Big Boss is more of an older sibling who he respects and wants to be better than, and succeeds (as he actually understood the Boss’ will and gave his life to be the unsung hero who achieved it).

[@macwolf2863]

I view him as the hero of the story only loyal to big boss because he is the closest thing to having The Boss (his mother) in his life. Big Boss is the closest thing he has to a family and ocelot views him as his brother because The Boss raised Big Boss. so he risks it all for him. In the end I feel like all of his betrayal was for the loyalty of his family and their legacy.

[@joshjeffers325]

Fully agree. The ultimate question in the series is what is a soldier loyal too? Duty? Your nation? Yourself? Turns out it’s love and friends. Ocelot loved snake like family. He took over the entire world because he loved his friend. A soldier loyal to the people closest to him.

[@erickvalencia2016]

Ocelot never new the Boss was his Mother, i refuse to accept that he was cool with big boss knowing he killed his own mother (even thou it has been heavily implied the he knew about it and that his father was the sorrow)

[@afibuffygirl]

In reality Miller was actually the "bad guy" if you are on the side with big boss since Miller was secretly contacting zero the whole time during mgs5. Ocelot was actually the true hero and true friend to Big Boss and the clone.

[@Nerwrax15]

Big Boss, Ocelot and Miller were all Assholes.

I love that you referred to Ocelot as a “caretaker” of the events. That’s how I’ve seen him in the past. He facilitates almost every major event that has happened in the entire series.

[@hewhobattles8869]

2mins 45 secs in and I'm already confused

[@MyManJFKTV]

I feel like MGS4's explanation of Ocelot brainwashin' himself was such a waste. Once it was revealed that The Sorrow was Ocelot's dad, it would have made sense that Ocelot may have developed some sort of ability to contact the dead, and Liquid attached to Ocelot's psyche easier 'cause of the arm. In retrospect, most of the story of MGS4 was wasted potential really. There were some great scenes, but the overall direction isn't as tip top as the lore before it. Damn you, fan service!

After watching this im not annoyed to Ocelot anymore.. thanks for making this video it gave me clarity on ocelot’s true intent throughout the mgs story. "You're pretty good"

[@carryingfire286]

Ocelot complied with the Patriots for so long in order to pull all the right strings to lead Solid and his crew to EVERYTHING they needed to end the Patriots rule.. The son of the Boss aided the clone/son of Big Boss so that in the end he(Ocelot) could fulfill his mothers original will. Truly amazing.

The funny thing about Ocelot is that half of the things that people find confusing about him can easily explained simply by the fact that he's gay. But so many gamer dudebros don't want to accept this side of him and in tern Ocelot becomes an enigma to them.

I loved Ocelot in MGSV

[@StormSoSexy]

The reason Ocelot killed the real Donald Anderson is because of the fact that he knew his real identity as one of the founding members of the Patriots. The Patriots were not Ocelot’s “masters”.. He is/was one.. And given the fact that he in a sense went on to raise Liquid, I don’t think he wanted Liquid to know that he in fact was the very group of people he was going after.. knowing that the real big boss wasn’t dead.. therefore Ocelot knew the entire time they’d never get the real remains of Big Boss..

[@e.j5813]

to me, he is the most complicated mgs character to understand lol

[@8Bitorbust]

Well knowing his mother killed his father had to be tough along with being abducted by The Philosophers who also killed his Grandfather. They gave him every reason to want to take them out. He also knew any organization that spawned from them would have to be stopped as well Cypher and The Patriots. He saw it all through.
