Solid snake definitely had the best ending out of all the other snakes
He also fulfilled the BOSSES wish without even meeting her…
The boss
Not
Big Boss
@@BloopersINCjr nah snake also fulfilled big bozz wish
Yeah poor liquid had to live out his days trapped in the arm of ocelot. /s
@@himynameis3664 liquid was never in ocelot
Well mgs 4 was a masterpiece
I'm glad I started playing this franchise from the beginning as a kid. I feel sorry for those that wont experience the series like I did.
at least they can emulate and binge through the whole thing without waiting years for the next installment.
@@spikpootarb7274 Naa. MGS doesn't play the same today as it did when it was originally released on PS1. Newcomers will not be getting the same experience. Even things like the Psycho Mantis controller port trick doesn't work on emulation... And things like Meryl's codex being on the back of the CD case...the experience simply can't be matched with emulation.
@@ayoungtricknamedjim5498 yoooo that was a tough one to figure out as a kid lolol. Damn codex
Same, it made the final fight just so heart- wrenching
@@spikpootarb7274 The anticipation made it that much better. Everyone would talk about the next installment and hype built around the game. Also, emulation has gotten pretty good over the years but it still isn't like the real thing.
One of the best super soliders in fiction
100%!
Just say the best. Even captain America would tip the shield to solid snake.
Makes sense he is the amalgam of all the ideals of what makes a soldier, to emulate,
I’m the game it’s genetic, but the aim is for the audience to emulate them,
Procreation of an ideal soldier by memes not genes
Non fiction
At 6:42
Snake: What was that injection for?
Senator Armstrong: Nanomachines, son!
1:32 that's an awesome drawing of Young Snake.
Saw it reading this and I agree
Agreed.
I feel sorry for the generation that won't be playing metal gear solid snake or metal gear snake eater 3
It's available on Xbox now so I'm sure some young ones will try it out
Movie coming out and also strong rumours of a remake of metal gear solid
From the way you phrased that comment, doesn't sound like you played any of them either.
@@MegaSolidninja I feel insulted
@@Aryanma1545qtrt I think what you were trying to say was Metal Gear Solid or Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. Your welcome Solid 🐍.
This video makes me realize we honestly don't know much about Solid's past.
Still the best series of games ever made. MGS was way ahead of its time
I’m 30 years old and to this day metal gear solid 1 is my favorite video game of all time , great character backstory , plot , emotions etc so ahead of it’s time
1million per cent it's the best.
Shenmue comes 2nd for me
Second that. 31 august just gone and I was playing these games over and over as a kid. For years.
I'm Currently playing all of them, but MGS1 aged terribly tbh. MGS2 great, MGS3 Amazing, MGS4 Alright, MGS5 pretty good, MGRR surprisingly Excellent. But MGS1 isn't that good to me!
"There are no heroes, they're either in jail or dead"
- Solid Snake.
I think the quote goes “All the heroes I know are either dead or in prison”.
There are no heroes in war, all the hero’s I know are either dead or in prison one of the other.
He Was the original Snake essentially, as him being Big Boss' clone is a retcon. But Big Boss benefited from that immensely.
He may be the original as far as game releases go but in the mythology, Big Boss is the original Snake via the Virtuous and Snake Eater missions.
@@razieltalos They all have different code names as Snake. This is about Solid Snake. Naked Snake is big boss. I mean yes in game releases he was first but everyone has played MGS4, MGS5, Peacewalker etc
@@razieltalos it is a retcon, originally Big Boss was never a "Snake" just Big Boss, and was simply Snake's biological father, written to be your average action movie villain, but from MGS onward the plot became increasingly complex and misterious, adding many sci-fi and conspiracy theory elements (X-Files was still extremley popular at these times after all).
Yeah i agree, Solid Snake is SNAKE, Big boss being the original snake is a retcon.
if only i had the time to explain the difference between a retcon (MGSV) and creating backstory (MGS3), but i suspect itd be a waste of my efforts anyway
I know a lot of metal gear in general and honestly I don’t think I’m gonna learn anything new from this video but dammit that’s not gonna stop me from enjoying this.
Same
Really? What was the whole point of GW respond after a day doesn't count lol
That didn't sound cocky at all.
We fans are desperate for something new or remade out of the MGS franchise, but until then we better get used to watch video essays
19:21
I started this series way back in 1998 with the original, was hooked on the story ever since.
That wasn’t the original. This was a sequel.
@@Lion-O-Richie2040 Im talking on the PS one, not the Nintendo, I'm fully aware of Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2 Solid Snake, the game series gained most if its popularity and hype from the PS one.
Same. Fell in love with solid snake story
same
It changed my 10 year old existence at the time. My grandfather was a huge movie buff and he loved watching me play it because it was the first cinematic gaming experience. He even bought the novelization.
Snake truly was, The PERFECT soldier
He was pretty good
he had the best genes from the best soldier of 20th century big boss
Thank you. I wish i could erase my memory and take it all in again. For me this is the best story ever made.
yup!
That would be awesome, but I do really enjoy my fond memories of me being ten and my oldest brother being sixteen and us bonding over playing this game obsessively to beat it on each difficulty setting.
Nope
Also another good character would be Ocelot, he has a lot of lore
Ocelot is kind of hard to put the story together for because there isn't much known about him between appearances except that he changes sides more often than most people change their bedsheets
TjDolHaus86 that’s not true at all, after Operation Snake Eater the man bled loyalty for John. The man known as Big Boss
@@Midknightsouls well there are 3 major side changes by ocelot in the mgs time line (philosophers-patriots-big boss) but there are layers of betrayal piled on top of that (kgb-gru-russia-cia-us-china-fox-venom snake-foxhound-liquid snake-gurlukovic-dead cell-solidus). There is also a huge chunk of his story missing between mgsv and mgs which covers 20+yrs. His history is intentionally fuzzy, he's loyal to big boss but with his own interpretation of what bb, and ultimately, the boss wanted to do with the world.
I feel the le la le la lo weren't flushed out enough! We need more lore on sniper wolf and Vulcan raven! I know Huey emerick was in love with sniper wolf
@@kaxeniakristelle7887 It's unlikely we'll see anything about sniper wolf as her backstory is rooted in the Kurdish conflict which is still ongoing and a bit politically sensitive. I never thought there was much to Hal/Wolf apart from unrequited love between an attractive woman and a shy nerd, I think she only took pity on him. I did wonder if there would be some kind of connection between her and Quiet though but was based purely on looks/character (ie. Sniper who looks like she could be from the regions the Kurds inhabit), the events of MGSV would suggest that her ethnic origins lie elsewhere (native american).
I'd love to see like a MGS5 DLC where you play as Venom in Outer Heaven and must fight Solid.
Should've been the ending
They should have done a new game with MG, MG2 and MGS all in one game on the fox engine and the beginning should have the real big boss training snake. The section in shadow moses should have used all of the original voice acting from mgs, it was so good
HOnestly, like someone said below, this 100% should have been the ending; you fight solid snake, but instead of winning, you face your demise to THE solid snake.
Fuck, that'd be hype. Solid snake is the best
Or the play solid and fight venom and then get a remastered metal gear solid for Xbox.
I forgot what it was called, but someone made a fan made ending where you get Venom Snake POV of MGS1
Only the REAL "BIG BOSS" would use cqc to hug someone!!!
I believe kojima stated that if he could make one last metal gear solid game he wanted to focus on solid snakes storyline one more time! Oh poor konami thanks for you guys he’s no longer making metal gear games!!
Konami are tanking and are scrambling to find studios to revive the franchise is what I heard.
Too bad they fired him 🤷♂️
3 storyline focuses I would love to see, fill in the gap between the end of PP up until the 1st MG game or even the 2nd where Solid Snake kills Venom & defeats BB. Another one I would love to see is a MG game that takes place during WW2 & focuses on the Boss & her Cobra Unit, & the last is MG Rising 2 with more of the original MG characters being involved in that game like Otacon, Sunny possibly Solid Snake as well
@@reganmcnary9864 I thought he quit cause he was sick of making metal gear games
@@bobwelsh666 they fired him because he was getting too controlling and they felt he wasn't going to listen to them about what they wanted him to make
Solid Snake is a legend and my favorite videogame character of all time.
@linkuei83 damn straight bruh , fist bump
Solid Snake proves that even the inferior half of Big Boss’s genetic material is superior to most.
Recessive genes don’t automatically equal inferior
I say liquid is Ocelots son and solid is Big Bosses just a theory. Ocelot was blonde also
@shadowshinobi06 Yeah I know, and either Ocelot is talking a load of rubbish (nothing new), or he’s simply using the term as shorthand (though he could have easily just said “recessive”). Again, recessive does not automatically equal inferior.
no he just proves kojima doesnt know how genes work
@@naedanger123 Ocelot explicitly says "the inferior one [Solid] was the winner after all." Kojima kinda goofed on his understanding of genetics.
Mgs4 and the return to shadow moses gave me chills. I almost cried the first time. And the finale between snake and big boss was beautiful. I actually did cry (Y)
The original mgs will always be my favorite game with solid snake as my favorite snake. For nostalgia and the fact that you can beat the first game in one sitting if you know what you’re doing and it’s always a joy. I prefer the ps1 version but I think twin snakes gets too
Much hate. I find it enjoyable enough for what it is though it could have been a lot better remake
deserved hate.
Major Zero playing another Psyop on us narrating this video.
Little information: That George Sears president guy that Ocelot reported everything to in mgs1, is actually solidus Snake. Who was placed as president by the LaLiLuleLo.
Big Boss made his appearance in MGS4 was due to the relationship with the Japanese voice actors of Solid Snake and Old Big Boss: Akio Otsuka (Solid Snake) and his father Chikao Otsuka (MGS4 Big Boss).
Apparently there was a falling out between the father and son actors similar to their soon respectable Characters, when Hideo Kojima who was working on MGS4 at the time heard about this, he decided to patch things up with the father and son by having them do the last scene in the game.
Also why Snake in Super Smash Bros. Brawl/Ultimate said why he doesn't like Sonic. It was due to at the time Akio Otsuka's father was still the voice of Eggman from the Sonic Franchise.
Id say this game is one of the hardest to understand through youtube videos, you eloquently elaborated Solid snakes story. Thank you.
Solid Snake was always my favorite super hero.I hope there will be a comic book one day
He was my favourite hero because he wasn't super...he was the underdog that came out on top due to strict training, perseverance and determination to do the right thing despite the odds. Hes the embodiment of integrity and toughness
I think Solid Snake is one of the best antagonists written, especially in video game media. I hate how everyone seems to love big boss. Big Boss is is not likeable in my opinion, his rep as the greatest soldier is a lie, as the boss threw the fight and he forcibly recruits children and others to fight in his private army. Solid Snake was born with no advantages (recessive genes) and no family, treated poorly by everyone, yet he literally gives everything he has to give the world freedom. His reward a reduced life span and death via premature old age. The real and only hero of the metal gear series.
Antagonist?
Recruiting children?
@@0Chino13 his private army had child soldiers in it. You rescue some in MS V. Sniper Wolf was also a child when she was recruited.
@@jamief1263 remember, it't not bb, its venom, and he wanted to get them out of the battlefield, knowing that all that they know is war, leaving them in some kind of orphanage wasn't an option. maybe bb wasn't doing the right thing with sniper wolf, but he did the good with chico, its a shame that he died when the helicopter chrashed.
They could have made an awesome movie with any of the snakes, it would have worked with all the military tech, cqc action would be as sick as john wick
Escape from New York
Nah lol they’d mess it up
The director of kong is making one
It's in the work, oscar isaac cast as solid snake (for now). Kong director is making as the previous comment said.
Solid Sрiс
"The Full Story of Solid Snake"
Video length is only 23 minutes.
That's cute.
Right? Should be a minimum of 23 HOURS
Where is an official coverage of him? I would love to see an hour long one
@@olearris I don't know but it would definitely be long hahaha
I am 40 years old and I originally played MGS1 on PSX when i was a teenager. Over the years I've played all the MGS games, multiple times. However there's often been several years between my play throughs.
Thank you for making this video. It's allowed me to understand / piece together a lot that I'd missed due to the long intervals between my playthroughs.
You could do an entire saga on each of the Metal Gear characters.
Yeah that could be fun! Who next? Big Boss?
@@XPlore1 Can't go wrong with Big Boss! I also second your emotion at seeing Big Boss at the end of MGS4, blew me away.
@XPlore
Big Boss, absolutely.
Other than Solid Snake, he's the most fleshed out.
Videos on Big Boss and Venom Snake would be my vote.
Well done.
You have a new subscriber.
Keep up the great work
Maybe raiden could be the next big boss. Right❗❓🌟✌😁
MGS literally found me as a kid and I'm glad it did.
Amazing video can’t wait to see more content, keep it up!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! :)
Your explanation is remarkable, thanks for this man, really appreciate it.
Great video, would love to see ones on Big Boss and Raiden too, keep it up!
I never thought I could love Snake more. But as a Husky owner, my love just multiplied exponentially!
One of my favorite video game characters ever. Even better is the 2 voice actors for Liquid and Solid totally embrace it long after MGS. The Grinch song they did was hilarious!
My favourite lyric was,
"You're an ass hat, Solid Ssssnaaaake"
Great video!
@@phillydelphia8760 lol
Dude such a great story in a short time you rock and missed nothing...keep going. Do the same but for Big Boss
Thanks! We will get around to it soon! :D
this is such an excellent video, the combination of cutscenes for context and cinematic effect and your commentary of the story is such a short but complete telling of this crazy story. subscribed!
Wow, thank you! :D
Such a well made video! Great Job!
Thanks so much! :D
1:16 - no, not TRAITS, the GENES. There is a very big difference between the two. If Liquid had actually received all of Big Boss' positive TRAITS, Solid Snake would basically been a deaf, blind scrawny runt that wouldn't have survived. But receiving recessive genes would simply mean that Solid would have gotten blue eyes instead of brown, etc.
from what im told, snake DID get the recessive genes compared to liquid. Weird huh?
@@Ghost1170 Except solid snake has brown hair canonically, like big boss, that's a dominant trait.
@@khatdubell Because as much as people love to think Kojima is a genius, he's actually pretty ignorant about the subjects he uses as plot points in his games.
Solid had physically dominant traits, but not necessarily the mental.
Whereas liquid is the inverse, physically recessive genes (in appearance) but likely the superior in other facets.
That's why he believed he was the inferior one up to his (first) death.
(Edit: spelling)
the elusive Gaseous Snake
Awesome breakdown. I learned a few things. I've always been a fan!
I think Solidus is suffering the same condition as Solid he’s also aging rapidly
Before he was a solid snake, he was a liquid snake.
finally someone who explained this from a to z in a clear way. nice going man!
Love metal gear and anything to do with metal gear so any videos regarding metal gear I’ll love lol good content 👌
Awesome video, keep them coming!
Thanks! Will do! :D
Thank you for this video. My favorite character in a videogame
Brilliant video dude
This was awesome, would love to see one for all the mgs characters, mgs1 fav game of all time
Amazing history video of one of my favourite characters!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice illustrations of Solid Snake they look really good
Amazing video. You’re pretty good!
Great video, loads of info! Looking forward to seeing more content 😀
Awesome, thank you! :D
who says this? "I look forward to more content" LOL
Excellent video. I have now subscribed.
Amazing video.. thanks. My favorite videogame character ever
Love this man! I played most of the game and loved it! And this video helped me to understand it better. Good job!
“You’re pretty good” 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! :)
That’s for confirming most of the things I only thought I knew, now I know😎 Fun video
GG on the video dude big boss would be proud!!!
Haha. Thank you! :D
Considering how dense MGS lore can be, it's very impressive how you managed to keep on topic
I never understand why people don’t notice the story plot points taken from the films “Twins”. Everyone is always pointing out “Escape from New York” and “Terminator”, I’ve yet to see one person to it.
When the credits rolled in mgs4 and then showed bigboss' name, i had effin goosebumps
And until this day, i havent fully understood mgs completely despite not skipping cutscenes (as I often play and watch other pros play it)
Thank you for this video, my friend.
Lastly, Big Boss and Solid Snake will forever be legends!
I find it pretty cool that the "canon" version of MGS involves the graphics of the PS1 version but the voice acting from the GameCube version is canon because the accents are gone and Snakes exaggerated voice makes a debut.
Both are canon, MGS4 uses some screenshots from Twin Snakes during Liquid Ocelot’s speech before the final boss.
Twin Snakes appears in the Metal Gear timeline and in Guns Of The Patriots the poster that Otacon had in his lab on Shadow Moses is the same one from Twin Snakes.
GREAT BREAKDOWN!
10:40 it is revealed that ocelot was never really possessed, but rather took on the role of Liquid and had psychotherapy done to recreate, or mimic liquids personality and psyche.
21:07?
Phenomenal video!
It just dawned on me that Venom Snake's mission was to die at the hands of Solid Snake
Good video, creative use of MGS1 snake skin in the phantom pain. Let's just say i'm one of your fans ;-)
Yes an in depth discussion about Big Boss like this video would be great! 👍
Very well made synopsis on Solid, bravo
Glad you liked it! :)
Love this game, been playing every version from ps1,ps2 psp and ps4
Still Mind twisting story and gameplay.. my high rated favourite games.. thanks for bringing the complete story👏👏👏
I thought they were called "Sons of Liberty" after they acquired Arsenal Gear. Weren't they Dead Cell before the big shell incident?
My all time favorite fictional character ever since my childhood.
Yeah ...same, but its strange to say that about a character that first began as a generic antagonist with a comedic name
My child brain unfortunately didnt understand the mechanics of MGS 1 when it came out so i gave up. Recently, as a man, I've gone back and played the series and am happy i did. The story of Big Boss and his sons is incredible, Solid Snake is the coolest soldier protagonist of any video game series.
Jaysus - Amazing summary skills
Hey man do alot more characters of the MGS series i would love it. Good work, keep it up boss
Thanks! Will do! :)
@@XPlore1 mgs content can make a youtube channel by itself lol dont know if its your cup of tea but you got a sub .
I would love for hideo Kojima to really nail down the story and write a series of books. Also a story of snakes last years with otocon and sunny would be cool. Especially if sunny turned out to be a combination of the two men who raised her. Smart and tech savvy but also a kick ass special ops soldier.
This is the best explanation of solid Snake I've heard I would love to see one for Big Boss and liquid snake not much is known about liquid snake
Glad you liked it! :) We will get around to more soon! :)
@@XPlore1 thank you 🙏
Looking forward to Big Boss and liquid snakes backstory
The name of the “Big Shell” is another hint to the story line and misinformation theme in mgs2. It was all an unnerving illusion
Awesome!🤘
Awesome video!
Thanks! :)
I'll sub to u pal keep up the good work
Great video
Beautiful
"I'm no hero. Never was, never will be..." *smokes a cigarette*
It's amazing this story managed to remain connected with all the retcons that happened. I mean even this video does not make a lot of sense with the plot twists and gotcha moments, yet somehow it's what makes it so special.
I remember getting introduced to MGS with MGS 4 (I know) played that game like 12 times and still it made no sense. Eventually I went back and played every other entry that ever came out and while I had the full story it still made very little sense but enough for me to become a fan forever.
fantastic games, possibly my favourite series.... the stories in each game is fantastic....however they dont link with each other very well at all.... thank you.
Retelling mgs4 and that big boss ending always tears me up
I started at mgs4. I got stuck on the third act. So I looked for all the previous Metal Gear Solid game and the played 1, 2, and 3. I then went back to 4 and got passed the third, fourth, and fifth acts to beat the game. I have never enjoyed a game franchise as much as Metal Gear Solid. I the got peace walker and MGS5: Ground Zero and Phantom Pain. But 4 will always be my favorite. Cause started with Solid Snake.
This is great! Thank you for the breakdown! Where is your tip jar?
9:34 "Philanthropy" an anti-metal gear organization is an NGO ((non-government organization)) the person who funded the organization is Natasha Romanenko and Snake and Otacon are the co-founders of Philanthropy
Correct
"Kept ya waiting huh"
@Revolver Ocelot hmmm... You're pretty good
Great fkn video!
Glad you liked it! :D
It is not 2023, and I finally understand the story of metal gear solid...thank you for finally closing up this chapter and allowing me to move on lol
I remember when i had my playstation 2 mgs3.. and there was ingame ads about the Ps3 and metal gear solid 4,, great times
good stuff!!👏 👍
Fun fact: Meryl shares her last name with a Suikoden character.
Its spelled differently though
I wish We had a Metal Gear Solid 6 that takes place just before Metal Gear 1 and 2 that gives us more insight in Big Boss and Snake's sort of Father/Son relationship.
