Looking back 5 and a half years later, there was so much that this game could’ve offered, I mean think about it, it would’ve been one of the greatest games of all times of the 2010s. And when I say this, here is what I mean: More MGO content: MGS 3 Health stamina system: a limit as to how much you can run, ability to eat stamina, (applying to all living things in the game, your character, buddies, Different maps to chose from, Colombia, Nicaragua, Soviet Russia, USA (we could’ve seen a behind the scenes of solid snake living in the states, being able to visit soldiers in certain combat deployment places. The ability to train your soldiers in mother base physically, assigning certain soldiers to train certain soldiers while seeing the soldiers train certain soldiers in REAL TIME More rooms added to mother base, being able to customize certain rooms in mother base, seeing your captured enemies being interrogated in real time Interacting with villagers in all maps, seeing the Arabs fight with the Soviet’s m God I could name so much more ideas that this game could’ve had.

Venom gave Solid a Handicap by Surgically Removing his Horn. (MGSV Credits Scene Reference) It isn't shown that he did that, but he very likely removed it.

[@mrreyes5004]

Honestly, Solid beating Venom perfectly encapsulates the themes and ideals of MGS3. The Boss knew that soldiers were merely political tools, nothing more than expendable bodies for politicians and warmongers to toss at each other. Venom Snake _embodies_ this: even when he learned he had his past _and_ future robbed and forced to be Big Boss' phantom, he still did his best to play the role and help build a nation of soldiers, even dying at the end for the sake of soldiers without borders. *_Solid Snake says "screw you" to that._* Unlike Venom or even Big Boss, Solid understood the deeper meaning of The Boss' will without even knowing the woman; to pursue a world where _PEOPLE,_ not soldiers, live without boundaries. As much of a legendary soldier she was, The Boss _always_ fought and acted for peace - yes, she was a soldier, but one who gave her life in an attempt to unite the world and _AVOID_ global catastrophe. While Big Boss' and Venom Snake's goal of creating a nation for soldiers unbound by cultural limits seems admirable, they still fought to spread violence and weaponry and stole uncountable human lives, something that The Boss wouldn't approve of. Furthermore, MGS1 and MGS2's entire themes _REVOLVE_ around the ideal of being your own person; that people don't need to be defined by their genetics or the ideas shoved on them by others. Whereas Big Boss enforces that Venom now carries his legacy and persona, Solid Snake _implores_ Raiden to be his own man and determine who he should be rather than live up to someone else's legend - which is Venom dies bloody while Raiden continues to fight another day. Solid Snake, more than any other Snake, embodies and carries on The Boss' will to a tee. While still a legendary soldier, Solid Snake nonetheless _ALWAYS_ fought to take down huge weapon advancements and secure peace for millions of civillian strangers, exactly what The Boss would've done. Venom did carry The Boss' loyalty, but he was loyal to a land of bloodshed and killing which The Boss was strongly _against,_ as opposed to Solid Snake's even greater loyalty to an ideal of peace and freedom. Really, Solid Snake's final fights with Venom Snake and Big Boss were the final contests between who was the better soldier and the better suited to carrying The Boss' will. As we saw, Solid Snake emerged as the true snake eater, bringing The Boss' will out of merely a dream.

[@sarahphyllis5782]

Such an underrated comment... Excellently explained. This bridges the connectivity between MGS3, MGS4 and MGS5

[@akatsukicloak]

Solid was nothing more than a puppet of the Patriots. There isn't any deep mumbo jumbo to justify his actions, since he mostly fought and killed for the pleasure of it up to MGS1, and we find out he's the villain at the end of MGS4.

[@SurgePryno]

Also kudos on this explanation. However, just one thing. Venom had a clear if not the clearest understanding of The Boss’ will. The boss wanted a peaceful world without nuclear deterrent. Venom actually achieved this by MG1. Venom also had a clear understanding of the people who served under him. Knowing that they were not simply assets as BB knew them as. It is likely that Venom’s and Solid’s ideological understanding of the boss mirrored in Solid’s later years. Early on, Solid was ‘green’ and only faithful to the mission and country. This after many missions and being shit on constantly then changed his perspective of control and being used a puppet for government bodies to abuse. Unfortunately, I truly believe that Venom had all the best intentions of Big Boss’s plan. But eventually like all loose ends they must be tidied up. Sad really, considering the pain and anguish that Venom had to endure to live someone else’s legacy.

[@huleyn135]

I dont think idolizing, deifying and making a god of the boss is the way to go, much like making a god out of bb. The boss' ideology can be summed up as "war bad". The conflicts that go on throughout the entire series are all born out of how to achieve that. She had no real plan. Just war bad. Go play her cutscenes in mgs3 if you dont believe me lol. She is not as deep as people think she is.

[@cleitondecarvalho431]

And with Big Boss remembering Venom Snake, he is saying "Here's to you, my friend. Thank you." Nothing is better than a thank you from the Boss himself. Here's to you, Venom. The man who fought and added to another man's story, not his own. The ultimate sacrafice. That agony is your triumph.

Venom Snake is my favourite Snake, out of all the Snakes he's pretty much the perfect soldier, out of all the Snakes there's Big Boss the Warrior, Solidus the philosopher of the Snakes, Liquid the revolutionary with the inferiority complex (who is also an amazing pilot, leader, and Soldier as well), and Solid Snake who comes close to being the perfect soldier but even he himself breaks away from the US government and military and forms his own group with Otacon. Venom "Punished" Snake is the perfect soldier among all the Snakes, and probably embodies The Bosses ideology that Soldiers are tools. Except Venom isn't a tool of a country or ideology, instead he follows the orders of Big Boss himself, Big Boss ordered Venom to take his place and he did exactly what he was told with no complaints. It was his mission to be Big Bosses phantom and he didn't care about his lost identity and while sure he did get angry momentarily when he shattered the mirror he quickly says "ok Boss" in his head and smirks. And while he was defeated by Solid Snake in Outer Heaven I doubt he regretted his choices in his final moments before the explosion, I can fully believe that Venom Snake truly would die for Big Boss the way Big Boss himself once stated he'd die for his country, like on here he wasn’t angry or even sad he did his duty as Big Bosses Phantom and #1 Soldier. And besides all that Venom Snake was himself an amazing Snake, he was a father to his men, when Morale is low he corrects their behaviour by showing the Soldier who pulled a knife what it meant to draw a weapon on an ally, and in the end instead of tossing them off the rig, or throwing them in the Brig he tells them their CQC is sloppy and he'd give them a one on two lesson. He ignores his mission and takes in Child Soldiers and teaches them things beyond warfare and treats then as equals, and was kind enough to take in Quiet despite the fact she'd just tried to kill him. The man exuded the same aura as Big Boss, he was a man his men would die for, even after everyone learns his identity as Big Bosses phantom no one treats him with any less respect. And the fact that Venom prior to the explosion was a soldier so skilled and respected by Big Boss that he named him his personal Medic, someone who could be trusted to keep Big Boss alive if he were ever injured on the battlefield, and Big Boss himself would even say that Venom was "always the best man we had" imagine being so skilled that Big Boss himself would compliment you in that way, not to mention he was trusted with the knowledge that Paz was alive. Honestly I could go on forever because I just love Venom Snake that goddamn much, he’s my favourite Snake and was a true Leader, and an excellent Soldier.

He even did exactly what the Patriots did and fucked with a man's (Ahab/Venom Snake) life to better his cause after Big Boss had left the Patriots because they harvested his DNA and cloned him in the Les Infantes Terribles program, Big Boss was disgusted by the Patriots fucking with lives and he did the very same thing to his medic. Big Boss okayed the use of Child Soldiers in Outer Heaven while Venom Snake would take them in and educate them and try and better their lives, give them something besides war. Despite Venom Snake being a mental doppelganger of Big Boss he was still a different person when compared to Big Boss, just like Liquid Ocelot wasn't the same as Liquid Snake.

God, this hurts. Venom is arguably more tragic than Big Boss. Manipulated into loyalty so blind he accepted having his own future and legacy stolen from him. Even to the bitter end he stays loyal to Big Boss and treats him with respect, meanwhile (in my opinion fittingly, even if its a fan interpretation) Big Boss doesn't even shed a tear or show any remorse. Even when Big Boss was killed for his actions, his legacy carried on through his Genes (Solid, Liquid and Solidus) and his memes (remembered as the greatest soldier of all time). Venom snake had all of that stolen from him. He was also arguably the lesser evil of the two, given his vastly different treatment of child soliders. In the end, the most tragic is not the man who is remembered for his misdeeds. It is the man who, despite his great actions, is not remembered at all.

You can hear in the Truth tapes that Big Boss was pretty much againt using Venom as his phantom, but besides having no other choice if he wanted to achieve his dream and take revenge on Skull Face, Ocelot also persuaded Boss that Venom was necessary. Besides, Big Boss considered Venom his best soldier, and we know how much Boss cared for those under his command. It might not have been showed, but I'm certain Boss cared for Venom and felt his death with sorrow, despite the advantage that brought him, as the world and the Patriots would think Big Boss was dead, and so he would be able to act more freely.

But he did meet boss (not as his phantom). He was chosen for the role as someone who was second only to big boss in MSF by Boss’s own admission. He’s also the medic from Ground zero, and it is implied he regains his memory of who he is at the end of the Phantom pain incident, his smirk at the end of the game is the joy that he gets to be the Big Boss with his former commander

[@Killzoneguy117]

To be honest, I strongly suspect that the last act was going to just be a remake of MG1. Which I honestly think would be great. It really seems to me like the original plan was to retcon Outer Heaven into being Mother Base rather than a fortress in South Africa. I mean its already in approximately the same area and by the end of the game, Mother Base is a massive floating city on itself. It just makes so much more sense. It'd be pretty cool if the final mission, you play as Solid Snake, infiltrating the entirety of Mother Base. But this time, you're fighting Diamond Dogs/Outer Heaven. Suddenly, all those upgrades you researched, all those S+ guys you recruited, all those skills and equipment you mastered as Venom, all of that is now used against you. Instead of a bunch of schmucks who can be fooled easily with empty mags and shit. You face a highly professional, elite mercenary army which is intimately familiar with all of your tricks because they've been trained by Big Boss/Venom Snake himself. So they won't be fooled as easily by decoys. They're more resistant to tranquilizers. They're equipped with stronger helmets and gas masks so you can't headshot them or gas them as easily. They're much more likely to call for serious back up if they suspect anything out of the ordinary. And frankly, MG1 and 2 desperately need a remake. They are both so unbelievably critical for the story because they're the two games that deal with what happened to Big Boss. And there is a lot of stuff that needs retconning. Like I would lose my shit if there was an MG2 remake where you, as Solid Snake, infiltrate Tselinoyarsk, basically retracing Big Boss's steps during Operation Snake Eater. The final battle between Big Boss and Snake being a climatic showdown in the same field where Naked Snake killed the Boss.

The saddest part is, Big boss thought Venom was good enough to take on a genetically enhanced clone, Naked had full confidence in the medic who was skilled enough to do everything he could do and more. A medic who had little to no training in espionage and solo operations managed to do so much, he lost it all and still gave everything he had for the legend of big boss. He was one hell of a soldier Also id like to add that in the boss fight with him, Venom still moves insanely fast showing he never lost his touch even at the age of 50

Don't forget, Ahab was one of the MSF soldiers. He was already part of the crew, Ishmael just made him the captain

[@victorminkov5183]

Venom isn’t a victim he’s a loyal soldier. He had no delusions of grandeur he was going to make big bosses dream of outer heaven a reality regardless of what it took. His own life doesn’t even exist, it was destroyed in the 70s by XOF. He is Big Boss, together they work together to make the reality of big boss. Don’t forget in this Big Boss asks him “Are you sure you can’t make it out” He wanted Venom to escape even then. They both had fully expected Solid Snake to fail his mission and then Ishmael would become big boss once again. Venom even says “My mission is finally complete after all these years” meaning this was venoms goal, Outer heaven was going to happen and he could finally go to grave where he knew he always belonged since MSF fell.

Big Boss got so popular for a while, fans went all in on "He's a hero! He's fighting the Patriots!" When in reality, Big Boss was a fallen hero who at best used the same, brutal methods of those he fought.

Compared to his heroic "son" Solid Snake, who abandoned fighting for revenge, and instead started fighting for a future he believed in.

In Metal Gear 2:Solid Snake, he takes war orphans just so that he can turn them into soldiers for the next war that is most likely propped up by him or Cypher/Patriots. All because he misunderstood the Boss's dying wish of letting soldiers be. He was broken by war, and had become it's sheppard.

After the last mission in Phantom Pain, Ahab go's to Africa to take over running Outer Heaven. What would make this extra special, is if you actually play it. You know that Solid Snake is there and you have to confront him. It's a boss fight, but no matter what you do, Solid Snake bests you in every way. When your health reaches zero, a cutscene starts. You have an intense fire fight and hand to hand combat between the two, and of course Solid Snake beats Ahab. It segways into this awesome video and that final mission is called the same as this video, Last Day In Outer Heaven. Ahhh, what an ending that would have been!
