  • Liquid is one of the most beloved figures in the Metal Gear series, from him being a foil too Solid Snake too his pompous attitude, Liquid Snake has cemented his name in the history of games. He's even what Hideo Kojima considers too be the Ultimate Antagonist of Metal Gear proper. Which in part is what makes his final boss fight such a special thing.

    I thought that the dominant/reccessive gene clones was stupid...
    ... until I remembered that Solidus is the baseline clone, meaning that they were trying to find out if the genes that created the best soldier are reccessive or dominant. And if neither were the case, it would mean that Solidus would prove that the soldier genes were a combination of them rather than a single set of them.

As a human Gray Fox was enhanced by the perfect solider program and was able to move so fast that he blitzed a room of armed soldiers before they can react, he was also unaffected by Metal Gear D's explosion. Metal Gear D is the strongest Metal Gear by the time 1999, in 1974 Huey tells Big Boss that only an Atom Bomb would be strong enough to damage Peace Walker. Then during Shadow Moses Snake defeats Gray Fox again while he had an exoskeleton, which is stated to increase strength and speed by several times.

    It's an utter shame mission 51 from MGSV was cut. If you watch the deleted content footage, for me, the big stand out was Pier Stubb's performance as Eli... a lot of it was dialogue was recycled from in MGS1 but it was well acted as a homage to Cam Clarke's Liquid and foreshadowing for who the young soldier would become. Criminally underrated.

Plus, there was a third brother Solidus, not counting Nero from DMC4 and 5 as their "third" since there's a revelation about that at the end. The emotional ties for both were awesome but the Metal Gear Series is the only one to make me cry. Lmao

      I would've loved to see liquid and solid teaming up to take down the patriots once and for all.
      Maybe have a game where you play some parts as liquid and some as solid.
      Liquid would have more action packed and explosive gameplay while solid would have the stealthy missions.
      They would have different methods of meeting their goals which could create a conflict between the 2.
      I could go on forever but i really think it's a shame what happened to the twins.

      It'd be more of a run-and-shoot title -- an action-to-stealth ratio between that of _Solid_ and _Rising._ It would take place over 15 years, so Piers Stubbs could voice the first half, and -James Flinders- Cam Clarke could voice the second half. He would have to locate and destroy a nuclear-equipped walking battle tank that could end the war for his side. He would reunite with Третий Pебёнок, and, a formidable gunfighter. He would also encounter a certain giant shaman, a certain beautiful and deadly sharpshooter, and certain a master of disguise (disguised as a certain Master, which gives Eli an idea). It would end with him flying up to a certain Nuclear Weapons Disposal Facility.

    I love liquid as a villain. He was just so iconic and I really liked how he was so persistent in not losing that he possessed the son of a medium. I love the grit and will of liquid. I also love how opposite solid is, he wasn’t like liquid, if he were solid’s only reason for not falling the same fate as liquid is due to him not holding the same feelings towards big boss and his twins, only seeing it as a job and not a way of proving himself to the world that he is superior. Solid doesn’t do it for himself, he does it for others. He saved Meryl and didn’t want to take the chance of killing Frank jager when he was aiming his stinger at liquid. Plus he saved Olga gerlukovich which came into his favour. It was liquid against the world and it was solid amd friends against the ODDS

Once Liquid "awakened", he was horrified to see Big Boss's body. He dyed the gray hair blond, and let it grow out. For about the first third of the game, he deprecatingly refers to himself as Liquid Boss.

      Trust me bro this series is awesome, if you wanna get into the games but have zero knowledge on the game here’s where to start.
      Try going for snake eater,
      It’s a good game to start with Since technically it’s the first game where the series starts.
      It won’t be so complicated and the story is pretty straight forward, and you don’t really need much knowledge of the msg series at all. It’s basically the start of the whole series.
      The gameplay is
      👉pretty😸good👉 to today standards so it won’t feel too off. I understand that mgsv can be a lot for a first time player to the series (trust me I know lol) but once you get into it more and more you’ll realize that “damn this is pretty cool series!”
      Anyway sorry for going off topic, start with snake eater.
      Then after that try going for peacewalker, now I haven’t played this game but I’ve seen the cutscenes of it. Basically it was like watching a movie 🍿
      I think while watching them I was hooked already by the story alone lol. Then after that go for ground zeros. I got the mgsv and ground zero bundle and man that whole part made more sense after experiencing mgs snake eater and peace walker. I remember when I first played both games I was “wtf is going on!?” lmao
      Then there’s the really older games (like MSX old)
      For that I just watched story recaps since I don’t own that kinda stuff, start with mgs1 then mgs solid snake, the story for them are really good tho. Then there is MGS SHADOW MOSES. That’s when we get to meet liquid snake. After that son’s of liberty and then mgs4 and finally revengence.
      I know that’s a whole lot but I’m just giving you a map on where to start and where to end if you want to get into the series.
      If you’re not interested that’s okay 😊 but give it a try, it’s pretty good lol

    Okay hear me out. What we really should have gotten, would have been Metal Gear Liquid game. Think about it. Before MGS3, Big Boss was pretty much a warlord of a jingoistic country, who just happened to have a few positive interactions with people (mostly introduced in MGS1). Then MGS3 made him a fully fleshed out character, and gave a great origin story for him. I am not saying that Liquid should have been retconned into being an anti-hero or something, but there is room to develop him. Imagine playing a MGS game, but with a villain protagonist, who is an expert and using vehicles, and who's main goal is to prove his worth. Also, Ocelot would naturally fit in there as a mentor figure. Imagine Ocelot and Psycho Mantis as your codec crew lol.
    I feel sorry for Liquid, because he totally got fucked over in this series. He had one great game, where he was a popular villain. Then he was brought back as a weird arm spirit ghost and did nothing (not to mention that it was the worst part of the MGS series, and kinda took away from Ocelot too), and then he just vanishes, as he is actually not in MGS4 at all. And then he shows up in MGSV as a bratty kid, who has his boss fight cut out. They did him dirty, and his own game, would be the only way to do this rather popular, but misused character some justice.

    Liquid snake was never a recessive clone in the end. He was the dominant clone all along and snake in the end was the recessive clone. Liquid was confused and was used through out his life like a pawn.

    It is so obvious that Naomi hunter and frank Jaeger/cyborg ninja were brother and sister. I mean jaeger is German for hunter, but when I was a kid that was one of the biggest plot twists i had ever seen video games, besides Kaz Miller actually being liquid in disguise.
