I never thought there was much to Hal/Wolf apart from unrequited love between an attractive woman and a shy nerd, I think she only took pity on him. I did wonder if there would be some kind of connection between her and Quiet though but was based purely on looks/character (ie. Sniper who looks like she could be from the regions the Kurds inhabit), the events of MGSV would suggest that her ethnic origins lie elsewhere (native american).

[@ElricSowrd]

Big Boss made his appearance in MGS4 was due to the relationship with the Japanese voice actors of Solid Snake and Old Big Boss: Akio Otsuka (Solid Snake) and his father Chikao Otsuka (MGS4 Big Boss). Apparently there was a falling out between the father and son actors similar to their soon respectable Characters, when Hideo Kojima who was working on MGS4 at the time heard about this, he decided to patch things up with the father and son by having them do the last scene in the game. Also why Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Ultimate said why he doesn't like Sonic. It was due to at the time Akio Otsuka's father was still the voice of Eggman from the Sonic Franchise.

I think Solid Snake is one of the best antagonists written, especially in video game media. I hate how everyone seems to love big boss. Big Boss is is not likeable in my opinion, his rep as the greatest soldier is a lie, as the boss threw the fight and he forcibly recruits children and others to fight in his private army. Solid Snake was born with no advantages (recessive genes) and no family, treated poorly by everyone, yet he literally gives everything he has to give the world freedom. His reward a reduced life span and death via premature old age. The real and only hero of the metal gear series.

1:16 - no, not TRAITS, the GENES. There is a very big difference between the two. If Liquid had actually received all of Big Boss' positive TRAITS, Solid Snake would basically been a deaf, blind scrawny runt that wouldn't have survived. But receiving recessive genes would simply mean that Solid would have gotten blue eyes instead of brown, etc.

I remember when i had my playstation 2 mgs3.. and there was ingame ads about the Ps3 and metal gear solid 4,, great times

[@kristinbecerra4694]

So glad i randomly chosen MGS1 for ps1 as my birthday gift for myself with my bday money that day when I was years old 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I been hooked on the series ever sense...I remember like it was yesterday I had went to my local family owned game store in my neighborhood at the time the very next day after my bday...I had 155 dollars that was giving to my family at my bday party which toke place at my Granny’s house the previous day...I was walking Back n forth in the section for the PS1 atleast an hour wondering what new game I haven’t experienced and would think I would enjoy it was hell yo being that age and making a difficult chose knowing it was my money on the line to which rather the game I chose would be a good or a bad game I was so desperate not to chose a game I would not enjoy but I didn’t want a game that I had already played before I was craving for some new game ping blood...I walked back to the middle of the store and the cover of MGS1 caught my eyes I stood there for about 5 min. Mesmerizing the beautiful cover case the all white background with the orange title n the dead center of the case....and seeing that it was a 2 disc game which told me this is a very Long game...I decided to buy MGS1 but so nervous and anxious n hoping dear god that i would not regret choosing this game..I went home put the 1 disc and I just admit I really did not enjoy the intro and begging of the game so at those momment I was starting to shame and hate myself for choosing this game but as I pass the intro part and ran into the elevator as snake is revealing his self by taking off his scuba gear and rising up to the next level which was the snow level in Alaska shadow Moses I started to enjoy and was blown away with the story and I been hooked ever sense and I am 31 now have played all the MGS1 except for the ones for the nes...#longlivesolidsnake #longlivemeatagear thank u hideo for such an amazing game omg experience thru out my life 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🔥🔥🔥

Snake didn't know he was cloned from Big Boss until Shadow Moses right? So he wouldn't have been contemplating killing his "Dad" after Zanzibar?

[@0Chino13]

Snake thought BB was His phather, BB said that in mg1 or 2, that's why.

[@bennettodbd]

They need 2 do a movie as much as I like the movies where Kurt Russel played a Snake Pliskin it had 0 to do with the mgs stories or sagas

[@serravokhellfire4379]

A note: my take away from the "La Li Lu Le Lo" was that it was a placeholder name that the nanomachines caused an individual to utter as to not expose The Patriots.

[@drahunter213]

I wanna know what solid snakes last years were like…he must’ve had at least 15-20 years max and 5-10 minimum…because with him gone and out of the fight I’m sure the world would’ve went out of order some years after all this..and I can’t imagine solid snake just sitting back and watch the forest fire spread and burn…I’m not saying he has to fight but maybe he can mentor a new snake…like old Batman…or Batman in general that there must always be a Batman..and there must always be a solid snake (big boss) in the field to keep global peace a reality

[@imstillw8ing]

Played all the games a million times. Here's what I learned: Big Mama (Eva) was snakes surrogate mother (forgot) Patriots were an AI. Snake suffered nightmares and PTSD after the first metal gear. Other than that, I knew the rest
