[@WinterSoldierLTE]

+Stikfa Reaper Yeah if I was Skull Face I'd be pissed at that guy. "What the...?! Turn that fucking radio down, I'm vilaining back here, damnit!!".OR...Skull Face sees it's awkward, and is trying to think of how to handle it. He could jump the drivers shit over it, but then if he shows Snake his temper, maybe Snake would start crying and refuse to get out of the car when they get to the hangar. Skull Face thinks: "Yeah, he's nervous enough already. Dude hasn't said a word since we got in this car. If I lash out at my helpers now, he'd probably faint and then who am I gonna talk to?".You know, Skull Face is that guy that says everything's cool when your kid accidentally breaks a plank in his privacy fence, but as soon as you're back in your house he's in his basement working a punching bag and calling it you. The temper is there, but you won't see it... yet.

Skull Face should've carried a small wooden box containing two cigars; one for himself and another for Venom as an ironic "gesture of respect" (as he still thinks Venom is Big Boss himself). Both of them smoke their cigars while the song plays on the background (would've actually been badass). And then, after the Sahelanthropus fight when Skull Face dies slowly beneath the rubble, he's surrounded by a pool of gasoline. Venom lights the unfinished stub of cigar he was given, takes a long puff and as he exhales the smoke, throws it on Skull Face who suddenly is set on fire. The man suffers the same fate when he was a child, but this time he'll die a slow and agonizing death. And thus Venom/Big Boss finally becomes "a demon" he was always hinted to be.

Venom looking at the player like "you hearing this shit?"

[@KC-bg1th]

I absolutely *love* non-cinematic, one-way conversation with long, awkward pauses in between segments of Skull Face's monologue. Big Boss had the absolute best lines by far, though. It would have been really cool if you could get another 1 minute long cassette tape *after* that showcases Big Boss' thoughts. Or, Kaz could say every line for him, and then Big Boss could say "Yeah...I guess...." again.

[@FonchoVidal]

In this scene they foreshadow that Venom is not the real BB, the real one would be repeating everything that Skull Face says as a question

[@shapen360]

It wasn't until like my 5th viewing that I realized Skull Face's vision of the future becomes Big Boss' plan for Outer Heaven. Uniting the world through war and nuclear deterrence, "a language of nukes." Now I finally understand why Skull Face's phantom is with Venom in the final cutscene. Because with Sahelanthropus, Venom (and Big Boss) will fulfill his will.

[@rogehmarbi]

I like how Big Boss seem not to care one bit about Skull Face's heel promo, he's like "get over it already"

Acting out like Big Boss and engaging with Skull Face is exactly what he wants. Venom did the only rational thing and made Skull Face seem like a fool by simply not saying anything at all. Chad move

[@davidacosta3874]

One of my favorite elements of MGS were the messages given to us. Words have meaning. The way we used them within ourselves and to others.

[@BloodPlusPwn]

Well, at least we can tell where they fired Kojima.

[@redharlow4873]

+BloodPlusPwn As if Kojima can do no wrong. Face it he dropped the ball with the story in this game. You know it was him especially since he has his name plastered all over the game credits before and after every mission. Clearly he is taking credit for all the writing. Not Konami, which is to blame for many things but not for the mediocre story Kojima wrote.

[@BloodPlusPwn]

That's a lot of stuff I never said? I was just making a joke. Of course Kojima dropped the ball. He reached way out of him area of expertise and delivered a subpar game as a result.

true. think about it for a second. what is the source of amerikkka's power? their language. whitout their language they could never communicate their oppresive ideas and evil rule.

[@ObsessionZIGMA]

Despite the criticism shown here, I think Skull Face had plans that reflects off indigenous sufferage, making this scene very relevant & contempoary. Many tribes in rural US & indigenous communities are vocally displaying their distain over the loss of native tounge. Much less the impact it's receiving from overwhelmed economic incentives & unilateralism from English usage. Each tribe often dreams or fantasizes over some "blaze of glory" way of retaliation against governments enforcing this status quo. It touches on sociology & anthropology to the point that Skull Face is a martyr for his Hungarian roots and is acting on his blaze of glory moment. A mutagent lasts decades when fully used, so killing all those speaking English is an attempt to change that status quo. Written English would be recessed if a vector killing strain of English existed 24/7.

[@mrtruman4339]

@Reconsider your position I'm sorry, but HOW does "autistic" fit in your comment?

[@cameronrhyne7826]

It's honestly a cool idea for a villain motivation. Sadly, it comes right before he dies and pretty much only comes up right here. You don't find out any more about the man except for the briefing tapes you unlock at the end of the story missions, at which point Skullface has been dead for hours at that point and it doesn't matter much at that point.

[@A-B101]

Definitely a very good villain, only MGS can produce characters like that. Too bad his cutscenes weren’t as good as his tapes/background

[@flacidfrank8410]

nanomachines

[@silversnail1413]

I do like some of the ideas behind Skull Face's character. The concept of wanting to eradicate a whole language is interesting but utterly ridiculous and grandiose in it's execution, which is often the charm behind Kojima's storytelling. I think this scene would have worked a lot better if it was shortened, the song was removed, and Venom actually spoke instead of just sitting there like a plank. MGS1 had amazing conversations between Snake and his enemies so this feels like a missed opportunity to me. They must have been paying Kiefer 10 grand a line or something.

[@vincentvarkor]

I won't get political, I promise One minute later:

[@ZerogunRivale]

This scene is perfect. Skull Face believes he's talking to the real Big Boss, believes that he's explaining his grand plan to the real deal. Meanwhile, in Punished Snake's eye there is this emptiness. He's like an empty shell, a void staring back. Skull Face has no idea that his glare is for nothing, he's not talking to the true Boss, and his plans are about to fall apart not because of his rival, but because there just happened to be someone even angrier and more vengeful than him in the general area, as if he was crushed by a simple move of fate rather than having an epic downfall. I also loved controlling the camera. MGSV is about gameplay and a variety of storytelling ideas and being able to view the staredown for yourself is awesome.

[@redharlow4873]

+ZerogunRivale This scene is garbage. It's absolutely disappointing that he's speaking to the fake BB, a random medic. I don't care if he's the best solider in MSF. People begin to blame Konami for this when it was obviously Kojima to blame for this horrible display of writing. Really? I want to rid the world of the English language? What would that do? Nothing. Especially when Skullface speaks English. Snake doesn't say a word, because Kojima thinks it's being edgy for Snake not to speak. Are you kidding me? Snake never says a word to Skullface? Also why not just kill him? Such a cliche villain who doesn't kill the protagonist when he has the chance. Boss nevers displays any anger in fact it seems he's not really after Skullface for revenge. So much that he doesn't even kill Skullface. If you think this is brilliant then you are easily impressed and have never played the previous metal gear games. There is such a thing as a bad opinion, and if you have one be prepared to defend it. Kojima really dropped the ball on this game.

[@ZerogunRivale]

a) If you have to insult the person you are speaking to, you aren't very good at getting your opinion across. I've played every Metal Gear game, including the MSX ones. Metal Gear Solid 3 is still my favorite, followed by MGS2. b) Skull Face wants to wipe out English because he wants revenge against Zero. He clearly says in his speech that he sees Zero and Cipher as representative of the military force that the US government dealt out during that time. Since in Metal Gear universe Cipher is the one influencing the government, it sort of makes sense. Since Zero is his target for revenge and English is his tongue, then it's the choice for language which he wants to wipe out. Simultaneously, he feels this would stop Cipher totally and wholly since at this point, Cipher has stretched its arms into much of the US government and military. c) I agree, it's cliche for Skull Face not to kill Snake right then and there. It was also cliche for Solidus not to kill Raiden during the torture sequence and Volgin not to kill Snake when he caught him at Grozny Grad. d) Punished Snake never displays any emotion, but he's also this kind of being of emptiness, a fractured being who really is neither Medic nor Big Boss. He's not anybody and doesn't really have his own identity. Whether one likes the way this plays it, is of course, a matter of opinion.

[@tylerboy565]

+ZerogunRivale You should really fuck off with the ending

[@franzelagigel9222]

+tylerboy565 how about you just accept it that konami is the bitch that made this shit , who knows maybe kojima was already out when they were about to finish the game , its not the games fault

[@MFMArt]

+ZerogunRivale I'm actually surprised that people glance over the fact that kojima is basically handing over the director seat for the camera in this scene. There is so much going on in this scene, this video doesn't do much justice in keeping it static, and I agree with others while it can be a little awkward to see them have a stare down, that's kind of the point. Skull Face is showing his "power" and venom doesn't have the words for it. The music describes vemon for you.

[@VictusPrime]

There is NO FUCKING WAY Kojima directed this scene. I can't fucking believe it.

[@VictusPrime]

And what a fucking unfortunate truth that is.

[@Starnana]

Stop acting like Kojima has never done anything bad and he is Mr. Perfect.

[@daftrok]

I was expecting something epic from big boss at 5:03. Like he was re-adjusting himself for an amazing speech. Explaining to him that wiping out a tongue is not a solution. That nuclear weapon proliferation is not a solution. It's a perpetuation of the problem. You can justify suffering all you want. In the end, people will not leave the world be. The world will end. You are a madman. And I am a Snake waiting for the right moment to sink my teeth in. And the second the jeep stops you hear the radio saying "This is Pequod. Ready to fire on your command, Boss!" And then Big Boss yells "FIRE!" Then slow mo CQC badassery and explosions ensue. But then Skull Face pushes a button and unleashes Sahelanthropus before Snake can stop him. Instead we get awkward stare for 3 minutes.
