    The kids that Big Boss brought to Zanzibar land were never children soldiers. Not once did they ever attack Solid Snake or was forced into conflict. They were refugees. Even the kids mentioned Big Boss “hated adults” for their ugliness. Outside of that, Big Boss went off the deep end to build his “perfect world” of soldiers fighting in endless conflict to feel needed. Misinterpreting the Boss’s will and becoming bitter. But he’s still a hero to me lol 🫡 Best MGS character.

      You should read his monologue in the second metag gear game with Solid Snake. He wanted to perpetuate a world of conflict to create child soldiers and feed them back into the war machine.
      "You saw those children, didn't you? Every one is a victim of a war somewhere of the world. And they'll make fine soldiers in the next war. Start a war, for its flames, create victims... Then save them, train them... And feed them back onto the battlefield. It's a perfectly logical system. In this world of ours, conflict never ends. And neither does our purpose... our raison d'etre."

Not condoning what Solidus did but his end game was to free the people from the patriot's grasp and give opportunity and liberty back to the people as the constitution intended. A far cry from perpetual warfare that BB and Liquid wanted for the world. Phantom Pain was supposed to explain BB's descent into villainy but they never really delve into it at all. It wasn't the "missing gear" they planned to link it into the later series.
      Solidus' version of Outer Heaven was a nuke over New York that would act like an EMP blast to knock it offline and out of the Patriot's control of censorship, A.I. and digital I.D.'s.

    A lot of MGS is all about perspective. To solid snake, big boss is a villain. To big boss and everyond who truly knows him, hes a man betrayed by his mentor, who's mentor was betrayed by their country, and has known nothing but death and loss from a young age. His passion to build a nation of soldiers not once but twice and failing both times would turn a man insane. To solid snake, big boss with a nuke is a man who needs to be stopped. But really when you play as him, big boss has no intention of ever launching it. Its just to keep his private army and heaven safe. Even venom, who adopts the persona of big boss, still inherits the same losses and his biggest one not only being the loss of his left forearm, but the whole parasite infestation. He literally had to shoot his own people in the quarantine platform.

    Big Boss went through a lot. He was molded as doing the right thing and yet he saw the corruption of his leaders. With his feelings vs his beliefs drove him nuts to the point he wanted his army influenced by Kaz. Betrayals happened that he could no longer trust anyone except for Frank and Ocelot. Then he realized towards the end he can't control everything. He was a fool. Just let the world be. He is like any influencial person they get tricked by the idea of fame and followers. They tend to get lost and hope to change the other people's perspective to aligned with their beliefs thus creating factions, group, army or cult.

    3 is just a tipping point Big Boss has always questioned forms of government even as a child and as for Chico well it makes you question The Boss’s motives even taking a 14 year old orphan who has already been traumatized and teaching him to fight rather than teach him the values of peace or even how to live off the battlefield in way Big Boss is doing what he witnesses and in PO doesn’t he take Fox to a rehab facility when they first meet don’t take it the wrong way I think The Boss is a wonderful character on her own but it doesn’t mean I don’t question her at times. I love Big Boss for his complexity, how his mind works and how he comes to the conclusions he does. Or the fact he does lies to himself at times and by extension the player either by his senses, The Boss’s passing the flowers turning red or phantom butterflies and flowers petals or repeating the cover story in 3 because the past is too painful to recall and some players believe that he doesn’t have the truth. He truly is one of the greatest characters ever written at least in my opinion

He got angry with the world's governments for using soldiers like him and The Boss...and that is what led to MSF, Mother Base and Outer Heaven. Thing is...he used Venom as a body double, changing his face and lying to him about it. It is more than a little hypocritical. Not to mention Big Boss goes on to stockpile nukes and eventually threaten to launch them. So yea, he is a villain.

      But if we’re being snide and condescending- that definition you just gave for leader is completely made up and arbitrary. No established, colloquial definition of the word “leader” has ever framed it exclusively in positive qualities in a way similar to yours here. You’re essentially being smarmy over someone not understanding the parameters of a set of subjective qualifications that you made up entirely. It’s not rooted in any previously established and commonly known usage of the original word.
      It’s like if I said “the difference between a comment and a post is that, while both are sentiments shared on the internet on a topic, comments generally are well reasoned, genuine and foster honest discourse on the topic, while posts do not”
      While I could argue that that’s my own personal concept of what the term “comment” conveys, I can’t pretend like it’s not a conceptualization that is personal to myself or that it’s an interpretation of the word in common colloquial usage that is immediately recognizable even outside of any established context. I would therefor have to preface my statement to recognize this fact, not doing this would make me look pretentious and intellectually dishonest as well as a tad presumptuous.

    Big boss isn't necessarily a dictator nor a war criminal, he's just happen to be the victim of betrayal and dishonesty.
    Everything big boss did was to serve and do the right thing not help out megalomaniacs who used Pentagons black budget to create weapons of mass destruction of which they lost to the soviet union, Big Boss was lied to and he wanted to escape Foxhound after they worshipped big boss as the greatest soldier to ever live even wanting to clone him.. that's when big boss supposedly dived into villainy, but we really don't know how big boss was during his time in outerheaven, we just know he created a phantom in order to escape Zero, the sad part there was never a war in phantom pain, the real war was always in the background, Big boss versus Zero.
    Yet in the eyes of his soldiers and comrades John is a hero to them, no matter what he did, he gave them a home and a purpose such thing is a gift which is zanzibar and yes those may be child soldiers and John might be boasting about but if you think about it sounds a lot like old Snake who likes to boast about things and impress others.. secretly he's a goofball with no intent of harming others. he thought his idea was genius and really it turned out to be the smartest on but despite that he gave the lost children a home and purpose evil would do the absolute opposite.

  • @StressW
    @StressW 3 месяца назад +3

    Great analysis video but i disagree with the part about Venom being fundamentally different than BB.
    Venom was all for allowing the child soldiers to continue being soldiers since they already knew how to use guns and whatnot, Kaz was the one who was adamantly opposed and wanted them to have a chance at a normal life. Venom isn't canonically choosing to disarm the nukes. It's player dependent, and he can easily choose to add and develop more nukes on Mother base instead.
    Venom was created to be an exact mental copy of BB and with surgury his physical copy as well. The only part of him that was not BB was his DNA. So, it stands to believe that all of the decisions Venom makes during this time are similar to what BB's choices would have been. Only when the hypnotherapy started to wear off and the Medic's memories and personality started resurfacing did anything start to differ.
    The final "Truth" cutscene at the end of the game is highly suggestive and can be interpreted in many ways. I, however, subscribe to the idea that when Medic first learns the truth, he is happy that BB would trust him enough to carry his legacy, hence the smile. However then it follows a timeskip and is during Solid Snake's infiltration of Outer Heaven, and Venom learns the mission parameters of Operation Intrude N313 that he finally comes to understand that he is being used as an expendable pawn and accepts his fate begrudgingly, i.e. punching the mirror. But he was still choosing to die for BB even if he was used.
    The main difference between their personalities is Big Boss learned the truth immediately after waking from his coma and Venom was fed a lie for presumably years.
    I do however like the theory that some of Venom's memories were altered so that he would trust Kaz again unlike BB after the Peace Walker reveal. Because learning about Kaz was a main reason of BB's disillusionment with his original ideal.

    I have a really big theory about this and who the real bad guy of MGSV is, how once set into motion Big Boss has no choice but to become the evil big bad that the world wants him to be so that he can die and set the world free from borders.
    But in order to do that I’d have to reference a lot of material and it would take a lot to unpack it in a comment.
    I wish o could make a theory video like this… because it would definitely be a more interesting spin. Or plot twist-
    That Kaz is actually the orchestrator of everything and his “passion” for chasing down revenge is what perverts the goal that his best friend Naked Snake would have been going for and thats why he faked his own doppelgänger and had to go it alone without Kaz, and using the help of Occelot, who is for all intents and purposes an avid supporter of the real Big Boss and diametrically opposed to what Kaz ends up becoming because he’s blinded by revenge and his passionate self serving ambition to Make Motherbase Great Again! was not Big Bosses dream.
    And why Occelot continues being a triple agent doing everything he can despite interference to become the Big Bad and unite the world under tyranny of information technology and gun control and free the world with his final sacrifice at the hands of snake, big boss’ ultimate protege.
    Basically a much grander stage performance than the ruse performed by the Joy and Jack in Groznyjgrad…
    Boss had to train up her own sword to fall on it, and so too did Big Boss, but the patriots kept going, so Occelot had to take on Liquids brains and emulate his Boss by being the same pariah until the end in order to ensure GW is destroyed and the entire system is reset… or they’d just keep coming back.
    Kaz is the misguided disciple of his Boss, like how Zero and Big Boss were two disciples with misguided ideals, but the only way Big Boss could see liberation from the system was to become the military state the world would focus its nukes on, and then free them all when he’s taken down.
    Kaz wanted greatness, Boss wanted to fall from grace so the world could know peace.
    Kaz came back and dragged Boss back from the brink of death to continue living out his dream- and boss got a patsy, a stand in to fill his shoes.
    Then he found out Zero had him cloned and he had to change the plan again and make sure Snake did his job and take down both himself and the body double to finish the job.
    But then the patriots made an AI and only Occelot could carry that torch.
    See how they’re all kinda playing this long con, or leading the world to hate them just to die at the hands of their own trainee?
    I think it’s a recurrent theme

    Ele foi o que o universo de metal gear exigia e lutou como podia .
    Bons e maus ???
    Isso é muito marvel
    Se ele agisse diferente teria sido igual a Boss usada e abusada
    Como no final do filme
    Cavaleiro das trevas o Gordon fala
    Ele é o que Gothan precisa mas não do jeito que ela quer
    Não, ele é além disso
    Por que ele aguenta.

      and your point is ? so what about your grandfather but mine to had to fight the world war and died of mustard gas after retuning home defending his country' from a piece of crap called hitler , some wars are fought for good reason to fight for liberty's and freedoms, just like ww1 and ww2, i have nothing but respect for those fallen men who fought for are freedom back in a time where war was a means to an end and for a good cause, but you would be a mindless fool to believe corruption in politics dont determine a false war behind greed and false agendas for those in power to gain wealth, and time has proven that including Vietnam, enemies are created for us, we dont get to choose, the young fight the wars and the old and foolish squabble put the world at risk, ( potential nuclear destruction ) and by todays standards people have become more peaceful and wish to live amongst each other, facts are anybody decant doesn't want a war but has to except its part of the human condition, my loyalties and my beliefs are my own just as yours one i dont care to express, sadly to many people are easily manipulated into been pawns, by a government that starts wars and never fights them treats its population like trash , i dont take sides with anyone i defend my own, facts are just like the boss mentions politics change with the times its fickle, Russia and usa used to be on good terms and now there not

      Your comment makes no sense... why should he mention real life situations when he makes an essay of a fictional video game character? Did you know that there are other wars to stand with than the Ukraine vs Russia (which has been bolstered with propaganda from the politicians and social media). You are obviously young... try to do a little more research in the grand picture than doing research on the single thing. And try to stay away from social media when you do your research... that will definitely muddle your opinion further.
