Huey is a scientist, not a soldier.
So having a nuke at base doesn't seem like a good idea and the world would have called them terrorists holding a nuke, even Miller should have known about that but this is the work of bad writting here.
Killing infected people doesn't seem like a good idea since he might have been able to save them. So Huey was trying to help Big Boss and unfortunatly he got played like everyone.
People forget that when you play as the fake Big Boss you are still a soldier and so you see the story just like a soldier, while Huey is just a scientist so you won't see him rush into a battlefield like Rambo, instead you'll see him doing some research in a safe place with science posters on the wall and a Dakimakura of Big Boss.
So all this time Huey was the sane one until he lost it and killed Loveless, remember that in the end he has as much courage as a civilian spreading lies on a game they hate because everyone do it, so don't expect him to withstand Volgin torture just so he can remain loyal to Big Boss.
It's a reference to the butterfly Big Boss used to catch with his left hand, since the fake Big Boss knows about the real Big Boss habit he knows he won't sense the butterfly anymore.

Totally agree there Ni. His story feels so. Sad to me.
I mean to me this is how I see it.
He joins Big Boss and mother base partly out of gratitude and partly because he thinks they can bring peace.
Then they start doing some shady things (the nuke). He sees the nuke is gunna be an issue and isn't a very good guy thing to say. I picture he was hoping for something like Philanthropy(Hal's and Solid's organization).
So when the inspection came around I imagine he saw it as a chance to save Snake and the gang from themselves.
Remember guys Big Boss and Venom are not the good guy in the story of Metal Gear.
So he lets them onto motherbase but then it turns out it's a cipher attack.
I imagine Skull Face wouldn't be dumb enough to get rid of a guy like emmerick. Despite opinions he is an amazing scientist.
Then when we get to his service with Skull face I picture him in constant fear. He's afraid of Skull Face. Sure he may be a bit cowardly but what would you do in a sitution like him? So his fear leads him to irrational thinking. Hence the thing with Hal and Sathlrapeos. Forgive me names hard to spell.
Anyways then I do picture he did kill strange love. Mostly out of fear and desperation. Most likely on accident.
Let's not forget that Strange ain't too innocent here either.
Her whole purpose for marrying Huey was just to make the perfect child for her wanna be lesbian lover lady friend the Boss. Hal was meant to be the perfect reincarnation of the Boss. Or something like that.
Then he gets rescued by Venom and from there he's treated with nothing but hostility.
They take their anger out on Hal. Yes he is partly to blame for the MB incident but so is Snake, and Miller (and ocelot?). As he stated they can't just do whatever they want.
They blame him for every incident that comes. With minimum evidence.
Also Venom, Ocelot, and Miller are far from innocent themselves. Plus they all wanted to lynch the dude. So Venom pulls the best decision I think he makes in the entire game. He votes him off the island. He also gives him supplies to last.
So here Huey is being hated and banished by his only 'friends'.
Then into the future he finds love with someone. Then he finds out that she's cheating on him with HIS SON. Like that sucks.
Anyways y'all probs know the rest I gtg. Sorry if I was scattered. My phones low on battery and typing in my lunch break
How can you claim that Venom and Big Boss aren't the good guys? In fact, the term 'good guy' is far too polarizing. There are shades of grey between the light ("good) and dark ("bad") sides.
Naked Snake was definitely more good than bad throughtout the storyline of MGS3 and become decidely more grey because of the revelations at the end of it. He shifted more towards the grey throughout PW too but he definitely can't be considered a 'bad guy'. Throughout PP we have little clue what BB is actually doing other than creating Outer Haven and, as far as I can tell, we don't know what led him to become the 'big bad' of the 2D games. The guy has being ♥♥♥♥ on from his government, his friends and even his family (blood or otherwise).
As for Venom Snake, I don't see how you can call him 'bad' at all. The guy was thrust into a situation he had no real understanding of, moderated and controlled the actions of everyone under him, including his XO and Ocelot, and sacrificed part of himself for his men (the quarentine incident).
I would like to know why exactly you think they're so bad. Wanting a nuke so they wouldn't be roflstomped by the rest of the world is hardly evil.
No, that's weird, the comment was about Venom Snake saying he feel the tip of his left hand hurt.
No idea where that comment went so I can't change it but that's the context, please forgive this weird mistake.
But anyways what I meant by 'bad guys' was not their alignment, but the role of antagonists in the Metal Gear series and the somewhat in the Solid Snake MGS's.
Anyways, your statement on them got me thinking and I'm working on a character analysis on Big Boss (Naked). So far though my opinion on him has shifted a little. I'm seeing him more as an Anakin Skywalker type of character/story. Anyways though. I am going to stay nuetral on the analysis. There will be a second half though that will be my opinion on Snake as a person, that will utilize the facts I gathered and shared.
I agree with alot of what you said btw. Aprouching from a purely scientific point of view it is hard to define 'good' and 'bad'. Hard, not impossible. I have many books that have very good points on the subject which I'll put in my opinion portion of the analysis.
Anyways I'm telling you this cause I thought you'd be interested in either the opinion portion or the analysis portion. Or possibly both.
I may do shorter ones on Ocelot, Miller, and maybe Venom. Venom would be killer to do though.
Also I dont have any degree in psychology or anything. Just a passion of mine. Have taken some college classes and high school classes.
So far though I'm seeing that he's got a really bad case of PTSD caused from the situtions he was in (that you mentioned). Plus numerous senses of betrayal. Super summed up there. SUPER.
Anyways peace my man.
I appreciate you taking the time to construct a detailed response. When you say you're 'working on a character analysis', are you referring to a text or video format?
Your Anakin Skywalker comparison is apt. Mr Dent's quote, 'You either die a hero, or you live ong enough to see yourself become the villain' would also become extremely apt.
Naked Snake started out, undoubtedly, as a hero, but was consistenly subkected to so much ♥♥♥♥ in his life that he, perhaps inevitably, becomes the "bad guy". The list of awful things he experienced, off the top of my head:
MGS: SE - Betrayed, attacked and left almost for dead by his mentor, the Boss; physically tortured; mentally tortured by the Spirit guy*; had his eye shot out; forced to kill his mentor, the Boss and betrayed by his country
MGS: PW - betrayed by Paz**
MGS: GZ - witnessed the death of hundreds, if not thousands of his comrades; witnessed the destruction of all of his hard work for the past x amount of years; being in a coma for 9 years
That is not an insubstantial list and would, as you mentioned, cause some form of PTSD is even the most harderned veterans of war.
I look forward to reading or viewing your analysis of Naked Snake. Venom Snake would be an awesome character to analyse as well for a plethora of reasons.
* Haven't played the game in a decade
** Played the game through once, can barely recall the storyline
Debatable. After all the suffering, misery and death he caused, he deserved to spend some time suffering as well. Huey gave him the easy way out.
Its gunna be text.
True to what you said bout skullface. Also though one way to look at it, who are we to be the judge and jury and decide what another deserves? That could be used in Huey's deffence but also on the flip side the man has done ALOT of crimes and needed to be put to stop and understand that he cant just walk over others as he pleases.
