    This is why it is silent at the end...
    At the end of the video I created a montage as you see and used the theme from Metal Gear Solid 2.
    RUclips said I would be okay to use this song but revenue would be shared with the owners of it which I was more than happy to sacrifice for the video. They did not tell me this sometimes means the owners take all of it, so I was left in a pretty unfortunate situation. Do I keep the song in or do I take it out, I settled on taking it out because at the end of the day I do have to make a living but I am extremely furious and upset about this as RUclips themselves told me everything was okay and it would still be monitored, I feel they should have been more specific when it came to that regard.
    I am extremely sorry if this effects your viewing experience luckily I had said everything important to the video by this point but heres what the final words were which I had to mute also.
    "A story about one mans quest for something that by the end just doesn't seem worth it after all the sacrifice. An idea that sometimes selling the world just isn't worth it."
    I decided to just mute the audio rather than cut it so if you really want to you can sync the song with the footage but I don't expect you to do that.
    once again I am extremely sorry that this had to happen but I hope you still enjoyed the video and now I know what to do if this situation ever happens again.

    In the end, The Boss' message was to prevent humanity from destroying itself before every single person realizes that being on the offensive is not worth it, and war is not worth it. The rest of the series explores a lot of questions, including when. It might never happen, it's a very idealistic world view, and somewhat naiive, but The Boss hoped that by keeping the human race alive for long enough, we might see lasting peace.
    Zero and BB both misinterpreted the message, which raised questions. Would you rather have a authoritarian shadow government dictate everything that happens in the world to hopefully achieve peace (which didn't work in the end), or would you rather have a constant state of personal war, but you are totally free from any government (which ended up failing for Big Boss).

    One of the most horrofic things i read about Venom Snake somewhere was "He gave his life to Big Boss, but he took his soul instead."
    Many people meme on Skull Face, for giving his speech to the "wrong person", but i disagree. It is beatifully ironic that two people who had the biggest impact in the enitre franchise, are forgotten faces.
    Venom Snake, who carried the legacy of Big Boss against his will, taking the whole world on, surpassing every expectation and becoming part of the legend himself, yet never recognized for his undying loyalty to his soldiers and his cause.
    Skull Face, who managed to get one over Big Boss and Zero, putting them both out of the game, he singlehandedly put the Pratriots to the knees, if it weren't for him Zero would have never been rendered senile, he is the cause of almost all f'up after MGS: Ground Zeroes, if he would'nt have struck the moment he had, there would've been an actual chance that Zero and Big Boss might have reconciled.
    Both charackters, phantoms in their own rights, changed the world and none of them are remembered.

    What I like about MGSV is how meta it is. Whether intentional or not, that’s what it’s become.
    Chapter 3 Peace, which all evidence suggests is just a title card, is a day that will never come.
    While the kingdom of the flies is shut down by venom, it’s relegated to a collectors disk and thus, the player is robbed of the agency. And with that 30% complete, you will always feel like something is missing. Like a limb. Even if this mission 51 was all there ever was besides the main game. The fact the kids shirt says never be game over is something I also doubt is accident.
    And no matter how much players tried, all the nukes couldn’t be disarmed. And so, peace day never came. A relentless nuclear arms RACE between PFs. That never ends. It was a social experiment that was reflective of kojimas view on war. Because of REVENGE, the RACE never truly ends and thus, there will be no PEACE.

    The cutscene where venom snake looks into the mirror and breaks it happens in Outer Heaven in 1995, just before his death. Multiple gunshots can be heard in that cutscene which implied that Solid Snake broke into the Outer Heaven base and the OH guards were trying to eliminate him.

    Venom has made his choice. Big Boss told him he was his own man, but he chose the mission he was given nonetheless. Maybe he thought that in the end; *_He stays, he leaves, nothing changes. He may as well just go along and see this thing to the very end._*
    Maybe he's just lost faith: for better future, for humanity, and for himself.

    Important detail: the plan to manipulate Venom Snake was actually thought up by Major Zero. When Big Boss woke up (before Venom), he just followed the plan that had already been in place for years. Obviously, he could have spared Venom all the pain of the events of Phantom Pain, but it could have confused Venom even more or something worse. Anyway, congratulations on the analysis on Phantom Pain and current real-life events.

The idea of being in pain over what was and could have been, and dream for “peace day”, but learning to appreciate them for what was, and at least we had something to lose.

    The story of the phantom pain is a story of revenge and loss and both are interconnected it’s also a story about how actions speak louder than words take quiet for example how she’s infected with the parasite strain yet she doesn’t speak throughout the game because she grows to admire diamond dogs and ends up dying for them. The game also focuses on anti war sentiments it shows the horror of war by showing through gameplay and dialogue 1. burnt buildings of destroyed African villages by soldiers 2. Skull face tries to oversaturate the nuclear arms market to make no one country be all end all shogun authority supplying any small nation or army countless weapons and by using the vocal cord parasite to cleanse the world of the dominant lingua Franca since America has a salad bowl culture and his past and language was taken from him he’s trying to inflict that pain onto everyone else but more so to keep other languages alive besides English but this makes him a hypocrite since he’s suppressing the English language. Keep in mind where the game takes place Angola zierha? Afghanistan? These are areas constantly under fire currently from mindless proxy wars and oil drilling Currently and I just checked there are more than 35 armed conflicts happening in Africa right now even in Afghanistan: The UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) recorded 3,774 civilian casualties between August 2021 and May 2023 (1,095 killed; 2,679 wounded. The characters are also extremely compelling for the most part and offer a lot of insight I especially like Kaz because he’s a loyal but overly ambitious and arrogant but in the TPP he turns into captain Ahab especially as he feels like he died with his soldiers on motherbase 9 years ago and lives only for revenge but him trying to hang onto his humanity is genuinely interesting and his relationship with big boss is amazing and gets more depth with The phantom pain towards the end of the game he admits to big boss he was right all along and that he talks about how foolish it was to obsess over revenge as it costed him everything in the process only to be betrayed in the post credits scene by big boss Kaz spent 9 years of his life rebuilding motherbase only to be met by a body double when Kaz found this out he spiraled into an inferno of hatred and bitter anger eventually destroying everything he built in mg2 solid snake. Quiet: I really like how she starts off as chiper agent sent to kill big boss and was infected with the vocal cord parasite that’s why she doesn’t speak but throughout the game she gets more and more exposure to the band of mercenaries and begins to even fall in love with big boss only to sacrifice herself in the end to save his life which is the polar opposite of what she was sent to do. Venom snake: Big boss’s best solider a medic from peace walker that was used and thrown away by big boss himself mirroring how the boss was used and thrown away by her country shows how much of a hypocrite he has become Venom snake is a part of the player but he is his own character as well through dialogue and facial expressions and beautifully visually stunning cutscenes like when Venom brings home child soldiers and gives them a life free from war while in peace walker Big boss does the complete opposite recruiting Chico for Msf or when Venom saves quiet instead of killing her or having to gun down every single solider at motherbase and instead of letting them go into the heartless sea he makes them into diamond and Carries them into battle. I also like the Paz storyline as Venom feels he’s responsible for Paz’s death so in TPP he creates a phantom of her in the symbol she was meant to be a symbol of peace but throughout the game her memory starts to crack and you see her in the ward pulling a bomb out of her chest and start to fall back it’s revealed she was never saved and Venoms mind is broken he grabs an imaginary butterfly but as he opens his hand it disappears showing that Paz is truly gone. Paz is another good character but I kind gave you the gist of her my final reason why The Phantom pain is the best story in mgs to me is the 1. mature tones the game tackles 2. the lack of boring exposition that is relegated to tapes instead of me just sitting there watching some bitch to talk for 40 minutes then die immediately after 3. It gives weight to the world of metal gear and finally ties the solid and big boss trilogy together. This is my take on mgs V the most profound piece of media ever created and loved the video btw ❤

      My take on Raiden in MGS2 is that originally, he was going to be a woman. Kojima and everyone developed the story around that. And then, Konami demanded he be male. So Kojima pulled some malicious compliance.
      Oh, and if you're about to argue that Raiden is a clone of big boss, I think you should take a good look at the entire MGS series, and ask yourself honestly if ANY of it was planned out ahead of time. I think we all know the answer. ;)

The last game in the series but is the start of the conflict, playing as a puppet who thought they were the puppeteer for most of it, and knowing how it all ends for Venom, it really is pointless violence at the end of it all. You can't stop war by perpetuating it, you can't actually "win" the game, because it doesn't stop the war.

    Every Metal Gear game has a deep message that has made an impact on our lives, it's up to you to determine which one is the most important. The Boss's message was misinterpreted by Snake and Zero, it was Solid Snake that was the one who fought for peace, brought the future that The Boss wanted. Though unfortunately the games themselves are becoming more of a reality and it's definitely something to think about. You did a great job on this video.
