Pliskin is actually a medic who underwent facial reconstruction in order to protect the real Solid Snake who had been teleported into Fortnite as shown in Metal Gear Survive. One time I walked in on my parents doing things I don’t want to talk about.
I love how this is double layered joke with or without intentionally. One of the main ideas is that misinformation can be spread by anyone and anything in order to mislead others.
When I first played MGS2 in 2002 when I was around 15, I actually didn't know Plisken was Snake, even after the Tanker chapter. The reveal at the harrier fight actually caught me off guard. MGS2 was also my first Metal Gear game, so I didn't understand the hype around Snake and felt really connected to Raiden as a fish out of water type character.
When you first boot mgs 2 it asks if you've played mgs 1 if you say no it lets you select to play plant If you do you skip tanker. I didn't play tanker so i had no idea who Solid snake was
That’s kind of neat to have played the 2nd game first and to have gone in unaware of snakes thin a snake skin disguise. I knew it was him but being only 12years old I too was slight shocked when it became official that it was indeed the real Solid Snake. When Olga played the part of Mr.X I was shocked and thought she was Gray Fox.
no raiden is grey fox. we wasn't dead in mgs they revived him again, age reversed him and wiped his memories to make him a stronger soldier that will obey every command
Here's a theory of mine: the snake we see in mgs3 isn't actually solid snake but his Father: Big boss! Sounds radical but take a minute to think on it before you hate on me.
During the Tengu section you can call snake and he talks about Pliskin and him being an aliase. Maybe hes a physical version of what the colonel and Rose are. Manifestions to get him through the mission.
Ok but have you considered we never saw liquid snake's body? What if after they removed his arm they also removed his liquidness, since revolver ocelot ends up becoming liquid himself, and liquid snake's (now just snake as they drained his liquid) came back to life and took on his brother's (who he loved deep down) code name and fought for what he believed in after his death, that's why he goes to fight liquid ocelot st the end, because he's angry at his own liquid for being mean to his beloved brother
His name is a reference to Snake Pliskin, therefore making him another Snake. This means the 4 brothers are Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, Solidus Snake and Pliskin Snake
I always thought MGS 6 cloud be about a 4th clone who they lied about killing. Wouldnt be the worst retcon ever and it would be an excuse to play as a young snake played by David hayter and still have an original story that fits in the timeline. He would have to be Gas snake or something tho lol
If Snake really died in that tanker then how did he look so old in MGS4, nanomachines have nothing to do with accelerated aging but genes theraphy they had in the 70s
you forgot to take this theory to the more Mgs4 side of things, so that it at least makes more sense, and despite being a joke this theory makes a little sense and delving deeper into it could lead to good results!
wait if he's the 4th brother of the les enfant terribles then that means... He is Gas Snake! We have Solid, Liquid, Gas and Solidus! MGS2 actually had Gas Snake and we didn't even notice
I've been working on a video ever since the end of summer last year and it's still a work in progress. Just wanted to put something fun out in the meantime to pass the time. I'll keep working and hopefully get it done soon.
The fact that some of you can't understand that this video is just a joke and meant for fun proves that the La-Li-Lu-Le-Lo has successfully altered humanity's sense of reality, and our ability to think for ourselves.
You almost got it. Pliskin is actually a fourth lessa fon terrieblue clone named Solitaire Snake. What you don't know is that the real Otacon died in MGS 1, and the MGS 2 Otacon is actually a fifth clone named Soliten Snake. Now, you may have missed this detail, but the president Johnson is actually the final clone named Solidusius Snake. If you wan't proof, search for a video where he does a backflip. Oh, almost forgot, there's also Liquidus and Liquidassius lurking around somewhere.
I wonder if the detail of Navy/Marine Pliskin is telling something, from what I know marines are the fighting and boarding force of the navy, since they are a ‘technical’ branch like the Airforce, so him being a marine doesn’t seem like too much of a stretch. This does make me wonder if it’s intentional and what the story to it is, maybe it has something to do with the bigger plot, maybe each big boss clone joined a different branch, idk just spitballing. Great vid btw ❤ *You’re pretty good*
I always assumed it was an obvious nod to Escape From New York/LA. Snake Plisken would be too obvious so take the name of a native tribe and Pliskin and there you have it.
@OperatorVanta Yes he is!!! He used the Seal team as cover to infiltrate the big shell. Kept his identity from Raiden until he realises they can work together. In MGS4 Eva goes into the background of everything and specifically states there were 3 brothers from les infants terrible. She's the mum so I think she would know. Play the Snake tales missions. They don't say anything about or elude to him not being Solid Snake. Granted with how convoluted and full of twists and turns as the MGS series is, it wouldn't be too surprising if they added a twist like this but in this case they didn't. Pliskin is Solid Snake and that's all there is to it.
With how big of a joke this is, and how much people actually believe stuff like this, when I first started this video I was very angry. I was angry purely from some people fully thinking this way and believing it 100% without any sort of doubt despite the game and the character literally telling you the truth. You got a like from me for the "because I'm a failure" joke (honestly same lol) but damn, I legit know people who would watch this and fully believe every word XD
Pliskin is actually Solid Snake from fortnite after having his memories wiped by the fortnite loop. Once he escaped the loop he simply adopted the name Pliskin. Therefore there are actually 2 Solid Snakes on the plant (Not including solidus no that is not solid snake stop impersonating him) This is why Solidus referred to pliskin as brother, he was genetically identical to him as he was the same person, however due to the memory loss he effectively became a separate person than snake, as a disguise the real solid snake simply dressed as Pliskin on the plant, which is why we never see pliskin and snake in the same room. Throughout the game snake and pliskin are unknowingly swapping places with each other. Pliskin has knee problems from fighting in the fortnite battle royale which is why he must sit down after the first vamp encounter. Notice how pliskin never has these problems after this? thats because afterwards raiden is actually interacting with solid snake disguised as pliskin.
Their eyes are different too. Do a close-up of Pliskins eyes and Solids eyes. Solid has blue eyes, Pliskin has green. In Snake Tales, 4 of the 5 missions have Solid Snake as the protagonist. However, Dead Man Whispers is about Pliskin. He's even referred as only Iroquois Pliskin, and never Solid Snake. Regardless of Pliskin being Solids cover story, this video is awesome. 🤗📦
You're wrong, i don't know why Kojima wrote it so vague but Plisken is their mole in the tanker, think about it: He is a marine He knew solidus wasn't snake because he already knew him. He had to infiltrate the Shell because only the navy was allowed and not the marines. He probably dies during the core explosion as well but Snake is free to contact Raiden since Solidus was already exposed as a fake
Fun fact that I learned, pliskin is actually a mechanic, and engineer repairman from the marine corps group from the tanker. You can't tell who survived but you know very random few who did. He secretly got out,left his dead comrades and made a change and got the same job but working for the SEAL HQ that sent in all the soldiers who died, and for the last two years he gathered way more experience than the average human who can, and became a good, valuable worker at the SEAL base, until he was promoted to SEAL team soldier, and went in with one of the SEAL teams, but survived - and the rest is as we know it.
the only problem with this theory is that otacon literally says that they stole Liquid's body and burried it instead of Solid Snake, so ye... THIS THEORY MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW!!!
Big Boss is actually Metal Gear Ray, and Olga was actually Ocelot with a mustache. Only by the power of FOXDIE, could Raiden be able to stop Solidus and save the galaxy that's far far away.
Plinskin is Snake. It's an easter egg reference to the character Snake Plinskin from Escape From New York portrayed by Kurt Russell. If you watch the movie, you'll understand this reference better.

Beautifully underrated comment
Is this a schizo post?
The thing is everything you said actually fits the canon of MGS.
I think that when they took solid snake out of the water he was in a coma so they created a clone out of one of the strands of his hair.
NO! That is NOT Solid Snake!
good thing you put a big red ring and arrows in your thumbnail, wouldn't have noticed him otherwise.
i mean his disguise is pretty damn good
his camo index is through the roof
Felt like I watched a video made by the Patriots' AI 😂
Lmaoo
Same here XD
THE LA LE LU LI LO?
yes and all the "other" metal gear solid videos will disappear one day but this will remain. to "create context"
@@ashemochacreating context since 2009 (mgs timeline)
I think he might also be Liquid in disguise since we never see him and Pliskin in the same room together.
No bandana = No snake
How else would he have infinite ammo like Snake?
proof that at the beginning of MGS3 we actually play as raiden in the virtuous mission (the "i like MGS2!" intro is canon theory)
The bandana is in the pocket
you can only equip one item plus one weapon though

what if he is actually solid snake anyway? what if Kojima is trying to leave misleading bread crumbs?
A double fake and switch? No. Kojima would never lie.
You think he would just lie and mislead people? In a game about online misinformation?
Nah he would never
No! That is not Solid Snake!
Seems legit. Apart from Snake almost ohtting himself from the get go "My name is S.... My name is.... Pliskin, Iriquois Pliskin"
That is not solid snake

During the Tengu section you can call snake and he talks about Pliskin and him being an aliase. Maybe hes a physical version of what the colonel and Rose are. Manifestions to get him through the mission.
No, That is NOT SOLID SNAKE!
If you give Plisken the electric shaver you'll notice further in the game that both Solid and Pliskens facial hair goes away. They are the same.
But in this theory that snake is not the real snake and also plisken
you know this series is confusing when this is believable
Honestly 200% more believable than 99.9% of MGSV theories out there.
Ok but have you considered we never saw liquid snake's body?

We all want Snake Liquid
B-but... Iroquois Pliskin have 2 arms...
*took on his brother's code name AND arm.
There you are.
They used his body to Fake snakes death
His name is a reference to Snake Pliskin, therefore making him another Snake.
This means the 4 brothers are Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, Solidus Snake and Pliskin Snake
I always thought MGS 6 cloud be about a 4th clone who they lied about killing. Wouldnt be the worst retcon ever and it would be an excuse to play as a young snake played by David hayter and still have an original story that fits in the timeline. He would have to be Gas snake or something tho lol
Gaseous Snake
100% a true story, can confirm.

@@Kedilaa I keep him in my basement
@@Kedilaa no! thats not solid snake!
If Snake really died in that tanker then how did he look so old in MGS4, nanomachines have nothing to do with accelerated aging but genes theraphy they had in the 70s
I do think you're right, but you forgot to include that his real name is Gas Snake.
I thought it was Plasma Snake
you forgot to take this theory to the more Mgs4 side of things, so that it at least makes more sense, and despite being a joke this theory makes a little sense and delving deeper into it could lead to good results!

We have Solid, Liquid, Gas and Solidus! MGS2 actually had Gas Snake and we didn't even notice
Man this is good. Another reason why he is not Solid Snake is because of that dorky hand shake with Otacon. He is NOT SOLID SNAKE!

I dunno. Raiden's ass is MUCH fatter
This is fucking hilarious
Oh that explains so much, that always confused me.
This was remarkably entertaining. well done.
. Pliskin is old snake.
Let's also not forget he uses SAS's motto "who dares wins." So Pliskin was also British special forces.
