why did big boss become bad (spoilers)
big boss was always the good guy from metal gear 3 until mgs 5: ground zeros. in the end of phantom pain he tells venom snake to take his place as big boss so he has the time to make a military nation called outer heaven

in metal gear 1 which is the next game in the time line big boss is the leader of fox hound and he sends solid snake to inflitrate outer heaven and stop them. in the end of the game solid snake meets venom snake and kills him. after that big boss betrays foxhound and solid snake learns that big boss is the true leader of outer heaven

the thing i dont understand is why did big boss become the bad guy in between the end of phantom pain and beginning of metal gear 1?

I think the metalgear series apart from the stories told, they dont have truly the good and the bad side, its diferent points of views and missions from each military organization to acomplish.

Basically.. Everyone in the entire series is an Anti-Hero. Even Eva and Quiet.

If you're trying to tell "good guy" from "bad guy", this means you didn't understand ANYTHING from any metal gear.

there is no good or bad guy in mgs really, only an the antagonist and protagonist
mgs blurred the lines between the concepts of good and bad to the point that no-one knows where one starts and the other begins

YES!

That's precisely the point.
Here's the thing, western games/movies/anything tend to make the protagonist the absolute hero and the enemies the absolute evil.

(take any common war game and you will see the trend, usually american soldier = hero, russian/german/chinese/terrorist soldiers = the evil incarnate)

What Kojima always wanted to show, and put a lot of effort on it specially in the titles after MGS3 is that in war, there is no "good guy" or "bad guy".

He really wanted to show people that there is no such a thing as hero vs evil.
To show the truth about war, that "war is ugly" and soldiers are disposable for political reasons that changes over the time without regard for human life.

MGS is first and above all, an anti-war message.


You need to stop thinking of the western hero vs evil format to actually understand what MGS is about.

"evil" is a point of view.

I'm pretty sure the japanese thinks the americans were "evil" for sending atomic bombs their way.
And I still see americans defending that was actually a good thing even today.

So no. There is no "evil" and there is no consensus. There are different points of views. Each is trying to achieve the same goal through their own means.

The means are "evil", but the goal they are all trying to achieve is already "evil", so what difference does their means make?

Also, just to add something I remembered now.

One day, I was in a random twitch stream watching someone getting their butts kicked by some Sahelantropus...

And there was this guy on chat called "mohammed_<something>" and he was asking a lot of questions about the game lore...

At some point, someone called Skullface "the worst villain they ever saw", and this mohammed guy started flipping.

He said that Skullface was the real hero of the story. That american imperialism was trying to take over the whole world and Skullface was doing his best to save the world from that by eliminating all americans. And that Snake was the villain for trying to stop him just for petty revenge instead of joining him since they both hated america they could have been allies.

So there you have it, even Skullface can be someone's hero.

Every character in series is good/bad, Solid Snake has murdered so many soldiers why in MGS4 you get that bit where he throws up at thought of all he's killed over the years. Big Boss murdered everyone in MGS3 even if you go non-lethal the canon in stories told after is you killed all of them.

Also Ocelot is the mastermind, he's your contact in 3 & keeps you alive by taking out your eye during the torture scene & not helping Volgin in the final fight, he pushes Boss/Venom in V & Venom who he Hypnotheraphy listens to Ocelot more then Miller, in MGS1 he is coercing Liquid & even allows you to escape from his/liquids capture"that torture area was too easy to escape" , in 2 he is causing all the events of 2 to take place leading the GRU making them do what they do by convincing their boss to take tanker, in 4 he is pushing Solid to destroy GW/SOP. Ocelot is the Puppet Master of the Snakes.

I think it's less about the story being based on the idea that "there are no bad guys", but rather on the idea that "anyone will see themselves at the good guy". Everyone has an ideal or goal in MGS and they pursue it so harslhy that they end up destroying the world in the process. Big Boss sums it up pretty well at the end of MGS4. And yes, he definetely wanted a world of war, because in his eyes soldiers would never cease to exist, but they would never be able to call any place home, hence he created a home for them.

Peace Walker is specially good at putting a positive light on horrible situation through the perspective of its main characters. Big Boss recruits child soldiers for his army, kidnaps everyone in sight, empowers a terrorist group, and arms himself with a nuke and a Metal Gear capable of using it all in the same game. When you mention these things they just don't come close to being humanitarian action.

The Boss, Otakon and Solid Snake are the only ones who actually wanted to leave the world as it was, something Big Boss realizes as he dies.

Big Boss was no good guy by the end of Ground Zeroes. In Peace Walker he accepts a child soldier into his army and runs around on the beach with a 13 year old girl. Snake takes pictures of the girl.


I'll assume you're trolling... but in case you're not....

She wasn't 13 years old...she herself admitted that she wasn't a teenager.

While good and evil is very subjective, it should be noted that the characters that are considered "evil" dwelled in the past and tried to make sense of it all. Both Big Boss and Zero wanted to live up to The Boss rather then moving on after her death. Even Skull Face wanted revenge for the people of the past taking away his cultural identity. Liquid Snake wanted to surpass Big Boss and even renamed Shadow Moses "Outer Haven".

The "good" characters (like Snake, Otacon, and Raiden) all saw a need to strive for the future. Snake refused to let his genes dictate what his fate was and affirms this at the end of MGS, riding into the distance (IE the future). Raiden, at the end of MGS2 and even MGS4, refused to let his past as a child soldier ruin his life and started a family instead. Otacon gave up inventing weapons to start a family with Sunny (and he apparantly becomes a real baller later in life) and chronicle Solid Snake's life.

Basically, Kojima wants people to do two things:
Don't change the world or your past
Look towards the future

At first glance his themes are contradictory, but...

He became a bad guy because he openly opposed illuminati even though he was part of illuminati. That's snakeception for you. :VSnake:

The notion of others claiming Big Boss was a warmongering villain of free will is proposterous, if anyone would watch MGS4 ending they would know what he stood for... Liberty... Trapped within his own defined limits while trying to elude that of nations, systems, norms and ages.... If you watch Peace Walker ending you will know that he himself was a "gun" a power most sought by and constantly hunted by Cypher, which was the intention of the Patriots, to control power, just like loominati, and in the end the system corrupted and only became self-sustained through war. It itself started to propogate anarchy and lawlesness at a higher grade than that of a single man like Big Boss who had some sort of ideal atleast, something worth fighting for.

Yeah she did, but that was way after the date.

Until the moment she stole Metal Gear Zeke, everyone believed she was a schoolgirl.

That's your point of view. As discussed above, even Skullface's ideals can be someone's idea of "good"
