It also explains why Snake and Solidus' were casual bullet timers and jumping high in the air, during Twin Snakes and Sons Of Liberty.

That’s never stated in the actual games though. That’s just a paragraph from the Metal Gear Wiki a user wrote. The Les Enfants Terribles children are clones of Big Boss with a genetic predisposition to be better soldiers. But they aren’t superhumans. Good genes don’t make you superhuman.

[@GeneFOX70]

@@dm6182696 the wiki sites it from Twin Snakes. "But they aren't superhumans." A weakened Solid Snake outran a nuclear explosion in under 20 seconds, and while holding back he defeated Gray Fox in hand to hand combat. As a human Gray Fox was enhanced by the perfect solider program and was able to move so fast that he blitzed a room of armed soldiers before they can react, he was also unaffected by Metal Gear D's explosion. Metal Gear D is the strongest Metal Gear by the time 1999, in 1974 Huey tells Big Boss that only an Atom Bomb would be strong enough to damage Peace Walker. Then during Shadow Moses Snake defeats Gray Fox again while he had an exoskeleton, which is stated to increase strength and speed by several times. Snake was also injected with nanomachines, which we know enhances characters. Liquid tells Snake that 6 clones were aborted and used to make them stronger. If they weren't superhuman Liquid would have died when Snake shot him with the stinger missile, Snake would have died against Gray Fox, and Solidus would have died when he got shot in head.

I thought that the dominant/reccessive gene clones was stupid... ... until I remembered that Solidus is the baseline clone, meaning that they were trying to find out if the genes that created the best soldier are reccessive or dominant.

It's an utter shame mission 51 from MGSV was cut.

Criminally underrated.

[@TheDapperDragon]

My problem with what we were shown with m51 is that I don't need color to differentiate enemy soldiers sprinting with intent to kill from Eli's crippled, tiny ass on the ground. And I doubt Kojima had an awnser for 'what if the player just doesn't shoot?'

I think liquid and solid are the definitive brother vs brother story. Some come close, like Vergil and Dante. But there’s something about their final fights that hit so much harder.

[@mercury2157]

Vergil and Dante surpass Liquid and Solid IMO, because their backstory has much more emotional weight since they grew up together, Vergil serves as a better rival both narratively and from a gameplay standpoint, and because the Liquid/Solid rivalry kinda falls short due to how stupidly contrived Liquid Ocelot as a concept was

[@meaningfulmindfulness15]

Yeah, I'm a big fan of both of the series. I can't compare them so much because of the fact that there is literally demonic power in one along with supernatural military espionage in the other. Plus, there was a third brother Solidus, not counting Nero from DMC4 and 5 as their "third" since there's a revelation about that at the end.

It'd be more of a run-and-shoot title -- an action-to-stealth ratio between that of _Solid_ and _Rising._ It would take place over 15 years, so Piers Stubbs could voice the first half, and -James Flinders- Cam Clarke could voice the second half. He would have to locate and destroy a nuclear-equipped walking battle tank that could end the war for his side. He would reunite with Третий Pебёнок, and, a formidable gunfighter. He would also encounter a certain giant shaman, a certain beautiful and deadly sharpshooter, and certain a master of disguise (disguised as a certain Master, which gives Eli an idea). It would end with him flying up to a certain Nuclear Weapons Disposal Facility.

I also love how opposite solid is, he wasn’t like liquid, if he were solid’s only reason for not falling the same fate as liquid is due to him not holding the same feelings towards big boss and his twins, only seeing it as a job and not a way of proving himself to the world that he is superior. Solid doesn’t do it for himself, he does it for others. He saved Meryl and didn’t want to take the chance of killing Frank jager when he was aiming his stinger at liquid. Plus he saved Olga gerlukovich which came into his favour. It was liquid against the world and it was solid amd friends against the ODDS

Tbh when ocelot said liquid was the superior one i didnt really see it as he has the better genes but more so his tenacity to try and surpass his perceived inferiority which resulted in his pure chatisma, durability and willpower had him proving himself superior to solid in spite of his genetics

[@luichinplaystation610]

14:22 Ocelot eliminated two guys Sigint and Decoy Octopus at the same time, yeah very accidental

[@MKDumas1981]

I don't think he knew exactly who FOXDIE was targeting. If he had, he wouldn't have needed to kill Sigint Anderson.

[@excitedcat9517]

@@loll2561 Trust me bro this series is awesome, if you wanna get into the games but have zero knowledge on the game here’s where to start. Try going for snake eater, It’s a good game to start with Since technically it’s the first game where the series starts. It won’t be so complicated and the story is pretty straight forward, and you don’t really need much knowledge of the msg series at all. It’s basically the start of the whole series. The gameplay is 👉pretty😸good👉 to today standards so it won’t feel too off. I understand that mgsv can be a lot for a first time player to the series (trust me I know lol) but once you get into it more and more you’ll realize that “damn this is pretty cool series!” Anyway sorry for going off topic, start with snake eater. Then after that try going for peacewalker, now I haven’t played this game but I’ve seen the cutscenes of it. Basically it was like watching a movie 🍿 I think while watching them I was hooked already by the story alone lol. Then after that go for ground zeros. I got the mgsv and ground zero bundle and man that whole part made more sense after experiencing mgs snake eater and peace walker. I remember when I first played both games I was “wtf is going on!?” lmao Then there’s the really older games (like MSX old) For that I just watched story recaps since I don’t own that kinda stuff, start with mgs1 then mgs solid snake, the story for them are really good tho. Then there is MGS SHADOW MOSES. That’s when we get to meet liquid snake. After that son’s of liberty and then mgs4 and finally revengence. I know that’s a whole lot but I’m just giving you a map on where to start and where to end if you want to get into the series. If you’re not interested that’s okay 😊 but give it a try, it’s pretty good lol

[@garrisonjones1827]

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of meeting the va of Liquid Snake and asked him if Liquid’s life would have been different if he knew the whole story. He gave me a narrative story that I don’t entirely remember but the gist of it was that Liquid was so focused on his identity as his father’s clone that he never thought of becoming his own person. Unlike Solid, Liquid couldn’t break free of this identity crisis. Also, that apparently kept him up all night 😅

[@transformersrevenge9]

Okay hear me out. What we really should have gotten, would have been Metal Gear Liquid game. Think about it. Before MGS3, Big Boss was pretty much a warlord of a jingoistic country, who just happened to have a few positive interactions with people (mostly introduced in MGS1). Then MGS3 made him a fully fleshed out character, and gave a great origin story for him. I am not saying that Liquid should have been retconned into being an anti-hero or something, but there is room to develop him. Imagine playing a MGS game, but with a villain protagonist, who is an expert and using vehicles, and who's main goal is to prove his worth. Also, Ocelot would naturally fit in there as a mentor figure. Imagine Ocelot and Psycho Mantis as your codec crew lol. I feel sorry for Liquid, because he totally got fucked over in this series. He had one great game, where he was a popular villain. Then he was brought back as a weird arm spirit ghost and did nothing (not to mention that it was the worst part of the MGS series, and kinda took away from Ocelot too), and then he just vanishes, as he is actually not in MGS4 at all. And then he shows up in MGSV as a bratty kid, who has his boss fight cut out. They did him dirty, and his own game, would be the only way to do this rather popular, but misused character some justice.

[@truckercowboyed2638]

so it would be a MGL game would it not ??? metal gear liquid.....

[@akmaljohnmajid1]

You just filled a major plot hole for me. I always thought Ocelot was acting as Liquid the whole time, but Liquids spirit was destroyed after the arm was replaced with cybernetics

[@hunn20004]

Sahelanthropous shouldn't have existed in five. Kinda directly undoes the gravity of Rex and Ray. As far as I'm concerned the peace walker timeline isn't real

[@N01Famous]

21:58 Eli is called Nyoka ya Mpembe in MGSV which does not translate to white mamba rather it means horned snake. i think it foreshadows his connections to venom with his horn and him also being a double.

[@2yoyoyo1Unplugged]

4:08 8:40 God damn, Kiefer's voicework really WAS really good. It's so subtle, but Kojima was on to something with how he wanted Snake to say more with much fewer words.

[@Pensive_Scarlet]

Yes, "Snake" was originally chosen because snakes are sneaky. The fact that Kojima wanted Kurt Russel, who portrayed the most iconic "Snake" in cinema history, to voice act for a Metal Gear Snake at some point, is completely coincidental, and any resemblance to people living or fictional is entirely unintentional. Awesome use of the stock footage, by the way. ;D
