    I know David Hayter (actor who does Snake's voice) and other fans don't like this ending much, but I like it and here's why. Snake and Otacon are connected when you look at it in hindsight, both were loners and had their skepticisms and reservations about people. Snake was a cynic who experienced the trauma of his mentor (Big Boss) and best friend (Gray Fox) betraying him, which caused him to withdraw to Alaska where he could be alone. Otacon was scared of people because he could never really understand them, but after meeting Snake (and Sniper Wolf) he begins to open up to them. Snake and Otacon don't need to have a romance, but you can see what a beautiful friendship it is they have.

    I high key prefer this ending. I enjoyed Meryl as a side character but she doesn’t pull off main character as well as Otacon does, and this scene both has its own emotional aspect of picking the player up with Otacon’s moving words, and mirroring earlier in the story where Snake helped Otacon the sane way.
    Games are the only medium that can make me connect to characters like this, and Otacon feels like a true friend in scenes like this. Scenes I wish were cannon

    • @L7vanmatre
      @L7vanmatre 3 года назад +16

      He mentioned there, when Raiden asked why would *anyone* do a mission more than once. It was something like "My best friend once said to me, 'fighting is the only thing I was good at, but at least I always fought for what I believed in'." The point was that he didn't want the world to have metal gears. Instead of fighting because he's ordered to, or to feel alive/survive, he started fighting so that the world can have better peace, away from war and metal gears, and eventually the Patriots. New path, even if certain things are similar.

    • @silversnail1413
      @silversnail1413 2 года назад +10

      He did take a new path, in a sense. In MGS1, Snake was disillusioned with his purpose as a soldier and clearly fed up with taking orders. He went in a different direction after the Shadow Moses incident, creating his own new organization with Otacon and dedicating himself to destroying Metal Gear and the Patriots rather than just fighting out of some misguided sense of patriotism or honor.

  • @paulhoffmann3405
    @paulhoffmann3405 Год назад +26

    Although this ending is not canon, it has a lot of information in it which is important to know and is known by characters in the sequels. Most importantly that Meryl is Campbells daughter. And ofc Snake gets the stealth camouflage he has in the opening of MGS2. As many state here, this is by far the superiour ending. It really gives close to Snakes and Otacons arcs and at the end, Snake is looking for a new purpose. And he finally changes into the hero from MGS2 and 4 at the end because he failed Meryl and wants to become a better man now. Really a great ending and far better than the romance ending with Meryl.

    To me, this is the canonical ending. Not only does it reveal Snake to be flawed and more human in his mistake for giving into the torture, it better ties in with MGS2. Yes, she’s alive in MGS4, be we all know that game was never meant to have been made.
    Both Otacon and Snake have lost someone by the end of MGS and find each other’s friendship for comfort, eventually leading to their working partnership in MGS2; it just fits so much better imo

    Some people say that this ending makes more sense with mgs2
    But honestly, is not like Snake would forget what Otacon did for him after all, even on the Merly ending, Snake was worried about him and asked to someone pick him up.
    And i believe that they can meet again off screen and team up on MGS2

    I always preferred this ending, because this way Snake and Otacon share the same pain and overcome it together.

    As a kid playing metal gear solid 1 back in 1998 I always thought this was the only ending since I always gave up in the torture room because it was to hard never knew there was a "good Meryl" ending till much later
