RIP John Cygan (April 27, 1954 - May 13, 2017) Patreon: / hyperbithero Join my Discord server: / discord Watch my original Solidus video which is terrible: • Video
John Cygan, the terrific voice actor behind this brilliant character, has just died recently. In a strange way, this video could be interpreted as part of his legacy - an uncensored message that he leaves behind.
Such a damn shame that the ending got so much removed in the wake of 9/11. I guess it's pretty ironic that the visual representation of the free ideals Solidus was fighting for got censored.
l3054 Do you have any source for this? Unfortunately, I know it's true. I would just like to research that concept more. Old money doesn't just go away...
MGS2 is perhaps the game I respect the most for its ideas. It may not be my favorite Metal Gear, but god damn was Kojima ahead of his time for the game
Yeah, true. It also makes Solidus less morally grey. Would've been cool if it was revealed he merely said that to antagonize Raiden and he didn't actually kill his parents. Through Raiden, if he won, he could spread his ideology. And he did, Raiden eventually helped to end The Patriots in MGS4.
youn00ber I just don't think it was necessary. Was he saying that to the player so we know that he is still the bad guy or Raiden to give him even more reason to end solidus. It might as well been a "I am your father". Maybe if there was a codec call during the naked raiden mindtrip or a call from snake, or hell solidus, do more in-depth at the last cutscene because it's already an information dumb,rather than "I killed your parents, there's your motivation" I don't think it ruins his character, just think it makes a really cheap moment, from a pretty intense scene
I don't disagree, it did come out of nowhere, it also distracts from his core motivation. Like it was done at the last minute to establish a connection between Solidus and Raiden, like Big Boss and Snake.
I am a MGS fan, but, if I'm being honest, there are a lot of trite/hacky moments throughout the games. Honestly, if the vidya game script was transferred to the big screen/TV, we would be rolling our eyes half of the time. Translation issue? Maybe the medium (vidya) lends a saving grace to otherwise subpar moments? I don't know. I'll end on a good note: MGS, to this day, gives me goosebumps at certain moments - a possible mix of genius atmosphere and nostalgia.
Not only comes out of nowhere, it's also one of the most generic and cliché lines a villain can say. But since we are talking about Sons Of Liberty, an extremely self aware game, makes me think it might be intentional and was trying to say something else. Or maybe i'm just overthinking, i dunno.
i actually didnt know that about Solidus' swords or the removed American flags... i almost wish i didnt know because now ill think about it every time i play MGS2
Y'know what? I finally get Solidus now. Before this video he was just another clone for the sake of having another clone whose goals didn;t make much sense in an already confusing narrative, making him forgettable. This has actually changed my perception of Solidus and MGS2 as a whole. Very nicely done!
And killing Seal Team 6 who were just doing their jobs. And killing Olga when he could have just knocked her out or something. He may have been right about the Patriots but he was still a selfish asshole.
The "I killed your parents" line was such a forced plot twist. The fact that it was revealed towards the end makes it more so. I fucking hate it when they reveal key backstory right before a character's death. Solidus is still a very good villain though.
Brilliant. I sometimes wonder if Solidus was just goading Raiden on by saying "I killed your parents", it is such a juxtaposition after such an insightful monologue, it has no other purpose than to just anger Raiden into the final showdown.
At this point he could just work with Raiden and Solid Snake to find the information he wanted but without the life experience that Big Boss received from Operation Snake Eater and the Boss' story, Solidus is overtly troubled by how he will be remembered rather than accomplishing his mission, as the Boss did, even though it meant she would be remembered as a traitor. Solidus lacks this quality and as a result is unable to look past his ego and ultimately fails.
Kind of like the Phantom Pain of Snake talking in MGSV and expecting to hear David Hayter's voice. Even though we know David Hayter's voice is not there anymore, the loss of it won't stop hurting. Or the pain of knowing we'll never get to play Mission 51. You feel it too, don't you?
A video so sick you left out that business of Liquid Ocelot using his corpse in MGS4 supposedly as Big Boss. Well done, cos this is how we ought to remember Solidus Snake.
I always make a point to play MGS2 around April 30th out of my own autistic ocd but I was moving today and couldn't. Thanks for uploading this to curb my sperg.
I still want a recreation of the final battle for Rising 2 with Solidus (if it ever gets made). It could either be a dream/nightmare sequence, or just a bonus battle. They should keep Solidus' moves the same but maybe amplify up abit to fit the more over the top Platinum style
It’s only fitting that the prefect replica of Big Boss was killed by his “son” Raiden, just as The Real Big Boss was beaten by his son “Solid Snake”. The Patriots really did play everyone like puppets. God I love MGS, find a reason to live, and keep on living while building a legacy for yourself to pass on.
This is a definite improvement on the first version of this video. Sadly I've yet to play MGS2 but the way you describe its story has finally allowed me to understand why people refer to Kojima as the mad genius he is. Thank you for sharing this insight.
Great examination of the character, I never even considered that his relationship with Raiden was just another facet of Solidus imitating Big Boss. It's a shame that for how strong MGS2's ending was, 4 doesn't really follow up very meaningfully.
Holy shit this video finally helped me understand the plot of MGS 2. I finished the game originally confused as to what I had accomplished and what I was fighting for.
Thanks for laying this out, I was too young to understand this game at the time it came out. Solidus is my favourite Metal Gear villain even more now, he's so complexed, more of an anti hero.
This game preaches free will and making your own decisions. Everything before you is up for your own interpretation. You made up your own mind about how you felt about each character. Solidus explained everything he was trying to do and by him adding the "I killed your parents" thing makes it more difficult for a person to come to a conclusion about the character. I think he added that line to just piss of Raiden before they fought. OR he just wanted Raiden to know the truth about everything before one of them died. Raiden was losing grip on reality and what's real at that point in the story.. I'm sure those words by Solidus made everything feel real for Raiden
the scene that plays after arsenal gear crashes into New York is one of my favorite scenes since it's the only time where Solidus talks to Raiden like and actual father towards him and wants Raiden to have a bigger future then his since he doesn't have much time. Solidus is still one of my favorite villain in the whole series since he's way more human then the other villains
"Unlike an intron of history, I want to be remembered as an exon!" the writers really stepped up their genetics after fucking up with dominant/recessive in the first one, lol
The idea that Solidus is a perfect clone of Big Boss and was also the President but no one ever questioned this always confused the fuck outta me. Like this soldier of legend just happens to look like the President as well and no one bats an eye?
Um... well, you see... *something, something* nano machines *something, something* killing is wrong *something, something* DID YOU LIKE MY S U N G L A S S E S?
man mgs2 and kojima are on the level of orson wells 1984 in perfectly predicting the future. We are on the cusp of the next stage which is Mike Judges Idiocracy
You know I would’ve liked to see Solidus coming to the realization that the Wisemen’s Committee are all actually deceased and that the entire Big Shell incident had led to another dead end in his fight against The Patriots.
True. It doesn't ruin anything, but it wasn't necessary. Raiden already has some pretty good reasons to fight him even without this revelation. 1. If I lose, then a child will die. 2. If I lose, then the woman I love will die. 3. If I lose, then I will die. Nothing else is needed really.
I'm starting to wonder whether MGS 4 is going to be just as prophetic and we're yet to enter the age it depicts or are we going to be spared from the future that the modern information control (quite similar to the one SoL stood against) brings upon us
Nison545 He remade it, the old version was nowhere near this good. It was great don't get me wrong, but nowhere near as in depth and amazing as this video.
Solidus was a hero! All he wanted to do was SAVE humanity, if Solidus had succeeded and destroyed the Patriots, imagine. MGS4 would never happen since the Patriots would be gone Solidus has done some absolutely terrible things, but this particular event is heroic
Wasn't Solidus your first (or one of the first) videos you did for the channel? Or am I just remembering wrong, anyway I'm not complaining, great video as always!
Hideo Kojima, a Japanese man who does not possess American citizenship creates a game where he idolizes the values of the American constitution. This is the soft power of the US constitution
I'm not sure who I support in this. Solidus or the Patriot AI. I fully support the final codec call during the boss fight. Too much trite information. It all depends on how that power is used I guess.
I'm hoping for a Devious Intent for Tripataka from Enslaved. I know what some of you are thinking, but the more I think about it the more evil that witch actually was in that game. And to Tameem, that's an ideal girlfriend. Ugh...
I'd spend a good 100 bucks to get MGS 1,2, and 3 remastered for current Gen. It doesn't even have to be like upgraded and shit.. Just let me play these games again!
The sad thing is (given the events of mgs4) that a man whos wish was to be remembered was ultimately forgotten and assumed to be bigboss. Even when it comes down to the fanbase i feel solidus is often forgotten, but IMO he was one of the greatest villains to grace the series.
MGS4 was a mistake. Kojima never wanted to make that game. He wanted MGS2 to be the chronological ending leaving it ambiguous. He was pressured by Konami and fans (who've even sent death threats) to explain everything that wasn't supposed to be explained.
Solidus Snake was a speech giver. He was a politician and he was so masterful at cultivating his image that no one suspected he was a warlord training child soldiers in Africa. Except, he was a narcissist who could never get his fill. Its sad how his life was lost. He was supposed to be a good man.
I'm four years late, but to add insult to injury, he WASN'T forgotten. Once the Patriots fell and more and more information got out, the public eventually learned that George Sears was Solidus Snake, and that he once drafted child soldiers into war in Liberia. A pair of corporations known as World Marshall and Desperado Enforcement LLC developed a joint project with the goal of abducting vagrant children and forcibly converting them into cyborgs, psychologically AND chemically grooming them to enjoy violence early. What was the program called? The Sears Program, named and modeled directly after the alias and actions of Solidus Snake.
Not really. He started working on both Liquid and Solidus videos during april. Hyper almost didn't make it in time, but was able to manage. He updates alot on Patreon and his discord server (hint,hint)
John Cygan, the terrific voice actor behind this brilliant character, has just died recently. In a strange way, this video could be interpreted as part of his legacy - an uncensored message that he leaves behind.
bluebile john cygan was AWESOME as solidus. His voice acting was intense and incredible. RIP
How did he die?🤔
I had no idea but apparently he did voices in Socom Navy Seals franchise. Man what a legend
I will remember him as Canderous Ordo from KotOR1&2.
Such a damn shame that the ending got so much removed in the wake of 9/11. I guess it's pretty ironic that the visual representation of the free ideals Solidus was fighting for got censored.
Infradead Or is that fact the ultimate example of why he was right. Censorship robs us of our freedom to experience.
I just realized the most amazing thing ever, The La-lu-li-le-lo are responsible for 9/11
Solidus's art does look exactly like Bush
Red Fox the Undead And Solidus' relationship could be the same as Bush Jr. and Bush Sr.
l3054 Do you have any source for this? Unfortunately, I know it's true. I would just like to research that concept more. Old money doesn't just go away...
Solidus' swords were named democrat and republican? I didn't know that
That's why when you switch them D is blue and R is red.
So fucking dope when I found that out
The swords were identical just like the parties they're literally exactly the same
Reuben even better commentary on how one option kills opponents and the other incapacitates. Both neutralize their opponents tho
@@ReubenSempleJones careful now the radicals might attack you for putting them in the same category lol
MGS2 was so goddamn far ahead of its time its not even funny.
It gets more relevant with each passing year.
MGS2 is perhaps the game I respect the most for its ideas. It may not be my favorite Metal Gear, but god damn was Kojima ahead of his time for the game
Actually themes like this were pretty common at the time. I hear Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex explores similar ideas
They were explored in literature before then too.
Null/Loun no one had ever done it the way mgs2 presented it though. you couldnt capture how mgs2 played out in a book, it wouldnt work nearly as well
That ending is still pretty touching, even after many years.
Hello there.
I love democracy i love the republic
The final codec is scary accurate
Solidus was easily the best Villain of the Series.
JayDee284 he was a hero though. snake and raiden were the real villains working for the patriots. The patriots are like the illuminati. evil
Does a Hero kill a boy's family then Force him too fight his Wars ?
JayDee284 anyone who opposes the patriots is a hero.
JayDee284 patriots are scum bags
JayDee284 ya dig?
The "I killed your parents" line really comes out of nowhere. Wish there was more hint towards it. Just seems to be used to stake up drama
Yeah, true. It also makes Solidus less morally grey.

You should check out SuperBunnyHop's video on MGS2, also delves into how fantastic that game is.
Because you are stupid
Can we just take a moment to appreciate how complex and flushed out the Metal Gear Saga actually is. It is truly a Video game masterpiece
It's all ridiculous nonsense that is extremely detailed and makes a ton of sense 🤣
Solidus is my absolute favorite villain in the franchise. This character AND his voice actor. You will be forever be remembered.
Solidus did nothing wrong.
...
Except maybe that whole child soldier thing.
I remember in MGR trailers they mention Solidus Snake and we're suppose to see more of Jack's past but they cut that out.
Yeah, I wish Platinum would've had more time. Revegeance had an insane amount of potential.
And killing Seal Team 6 who were just doing their jobs. And killing Olga when he could have just knocked her out or something. He may have been right about the Patriots but he was still a selfish asshole.
"doing their jobs."
Which included ruining Solidus' plan. So their death was unavoidable.
Olga betrayed him.
Arthur Wild i wanted to play the original mgr that looked like mgs4, now that was cool.
The "I killed your parents" line was such a forced plot twist. The fact that it was revealed towards the end makes it more so.
I fucking hate it when they reveal key backstory right before a character's death.
Solidus is still a very good villain though.
It is so ironic that Solidus was fighting digital censorship and control of information but his ending scene was edited.

In metal gear there are only bad guys trying to do the good thing and good guys manipulated into doing the worst
Solidus trying to reach a censored american flag is the most tragic irony it could ever happen. fits so much to the themes of the game it's ridiculous

The only son that saw the bigger picture.. RIP Solidus!
A combo of Slade Wilson and Dr Octopus.
Thanks for laying this out, I was too young to understand this game at the time it came out. Solidus is my favourite Metal Gear villain even more now, he's so complexed, more of an anti hero.
the patriots removed all the flags
The ending of this video was beautiful, Much respect! :)
"BTW Jack I killed your parents"
Anyone else always hated this? It feels like a cheap way for the game to give you to not agree with Solidus.

I regret to inform people of this video that John Cygan, the original voice actor of Solidus Snake, had passed away. May he rest in Peace.

i do think the "i killed your parents" bit was unneeded. it feels like a weak attempt to justify fighting the guy
True. It doesn't ruin anything, but it wasn't necessary. Raiden already has some pretty good reasons to fight him even without this revelation.
1. If I lose, then a child will die.
2. If I lose, then the woman I love will die.
3. If I lose, then I will die.
Nothing else is needed really.
Nanomachines, son? Genetics?
Are you saying that... Solidus was obsessed with MEMES?
1:49 I think the oil spill was just a cover story for building of Big Shell….
And then he got barbecued in the Volta river a few years later, limbless and skull-faced.
Solidus had it fucking rough.
It terrifies me how prophetic this game was for internet age shit like shadowbanning and censorship on social media
And more and more as time goes by
The solidest snake
Life is short? Hah! It’s the longest thing we will ever experience
in the words on manhorse: this is the 9/11 of endings
Why didn't they add the flags back in for the HD collection?
Somehow I knew these Snake characters would be next.
So he was an Ancap basically who probably watched too much Molyneux videos on YT.
I'm starting to wonder whether MGS 4 is going to be just as prophetic and we're yet to enter the age it depicts or are we going to be spared from the future that the modern information control (quite similar to the one SoL stood against) brings upon us
Sooo did you remake this? Or reupload it..?
Nison545 He remade it, the old version was nowhere near this good. It was great don't get me wrong, but nowhere near as in depth and amazing as this video.

oh and before I forget...

Solidus Snake can be best described in his last moments as: *Dies patriotically*.
RIP john Cygan!
Wasn't Solidus your first (or one of the first) videos you did for the channel? Or am I just remembering wrong, anyway I'm not complaining, great video as always!
So ends the story of the boss to surpass Big Boss himself Solidus Snake!
Fantastic video as always and I have a question for you. What is the name of the track that plays from 4:57 - 10:14?

wait didn't we do this already?
Great video!
The theme during 1:20, the jazz playing in the background if l am not mistaken, where l can find it in UA-cam?
@HypahBOMB Found it! It is the Snake Tales ending theme
This video hurts my brain
These themes of information overload and digital censorship are more topical than ever 17 years later!
I liked your original Solidus movie.
As always good video dude! but why did you make it again?
Least fav mission was the water mission 😡
You remade the Solidus Snake video or reuploaded it. I could have sworn I watched this like a day ago.
... I was just watching the original version of this 11 hours ago... fucking MGS2. XD
I'm hoping for a Devious Intent for Tripataka from Enslaved. I know what some of you are thinking, but the more I think about it the more evil that witch actually was in that game. And to Tameem, that's an ideal girlfriend. Ugh...
By the by, why was he wearing a cloak?
What is the song playing at 1:10
Can you do one of the PATRIOTS and Philosophers? Great channel.
MGSV makes the S3 plan half pointless.
Did they put the flags back in the mgs collection on ps3?
I'd spend a good 100 bucks to get MGS 1,2, and 3 remastered for current Gen. It doesn't even have to be like upgraded and shit.. Just let me play these games again!

That’s what I think as well, Solidus was that one brother no one really talks about.
I will forever love and respect Solidus. He will NEVER be forgotten as far as I'm concerned. My all time favorite MG villain.
Solidus Snake was a speech giver. He was a politician and he was so masterful at cultivating his image that no one suspected he was a warlord training child soldiers in Africa. Except, he was a narcissist who could never get his fill. Its sad how his life was lost. He was supposed to be a good man.
I'm four years late, but to add insult to injury, he WASN'T forgotten.

Not really. He started working on both Liquid and Solidus videos during april. Hyper almost didn't make it in time, but was able to manage. He updates alot on Patreon and his discord server (hint,hint)
Isn't it also kinda crazy how John Cygan was born and had died very close to April 30th?
