      Quiet is fluent in Navajo, which she does speak a little in the story, but since not many other people speak those languages so she mostly does not talk.

      @rrtt1 8 років тому +20

      Quiet doesn't use sign language because she wasn't sure till the end of the game is she wanted to kill everyone or not basically. The run down is she was sent to kill Snake, but was defeated and extracted, so her back up plan was to use the parasites to kill him (and herself) but she wasn't sure if she wanted to do that since Snake shows mercy to her and she ends up falling in love with him. It isn't till the end of the game she finally admits that to herself when Snake goes out of his way to rescue her. Also someone pointed out she can speak Navajo but doesn't exactly get to interact with the only other person on the base that can speak it since she's locked up 24/7.

    • @degen83
      @degen83 8 років тому +4

      rrtt1 Pretty much. Since we're dropping spoilers now Navajo is the only language the bio weapon will not be activated with, so if she speaks any other language she will turn into a bioweapon and kill everyone. So she does not talk since she does not want to kill everyone.

    The real issue isn't the fact that she can survive with taking energy through her skin. The real issue is the fact that she can sustain her powers that way. This is the list of amazing powers Quiet has:
    1) She can dissipate into a puff of black smoke and teleport short distances.
    2) She can turn invisible. Which by the way deflects sunlight in order to work, which would invalidate her power.
    3) She can run at insane speeds. Faster than a car at the very least.
    4) She can jump the height of a small building.
    5) She has advanced reaction timing and depth perception. She is seen shooting the pilot of a fighter jet through the cockpit in mid flight. And she is seen firing bullets through spinning helicopter blades. She basically has bullet time eyesight.
    There is no way in hell these Parasites follow the Laws of Physics in any meaningful way. Water and sunlight simply cannot power these abilities. It'd have been better if they called it magic, at least it'd make some degree of sense.

      Just Noob Nah that's a Native American language, and a small one on top of that, and maybe fictional (I never looked into it) on top of THAT. HOWEVER Native American languages are legendarily difficult to learn as a second language, hence the code talkers in WWII. Teaching a handful of Diamond Dogs Mohawk (or whichever) would be far more difficult than teaching her, say, Russian.
      Side note, why can't she just write stuff out? Like, "Hey, I don't speak English b/c im infected with an English strain of the parasite. Can you guys give me Russian lessons sometime? Love, Quiet"

    Second because it's basically a Bond movie poured into a video game

      I think Austin chose Quiet primarily because of discourse à la "she's _yet another_ needlessly sexualized female character" vs. "nuh uh, she'll _die_ if she puts clothes on, she _has to_ walk around half-naked". Austin probably wanted to check whether the in-game reasoning she's so scantily clad makes any goddamn sense or not. Of course in reality Quiet is fanservice that they just made up an excuse for.
      There's more insane stuff to look at in MGS, but videos about those would have probably gotten way less visibility. Quiet was quite a popular character with a "controversy" around her, so UA-cam algorithm go brrrr! I can't blame a full-time UA-camr for taking advantage of all the arguments about Quiet to get those views 🤷🏼‍♀️

    @DJKillPoP 6 років тому +147

    What I've always thought was funny is all of the chat about Quiet. Let's ignore the "language recognizing parasite" that's introduced in this game, nuclear toting giant robots, a fuel-less robotic arm in 1984, a military base in the middle of the ocean that no one knows about, an absolute removal of physics when it comes to the martial arts sequences, and such accurate plastic surgery to conceal the identity of the "pawn" (in 1984 mind you with 1984 technology) that everyone, even his closest friends don't realize it's not really him. Let us also ignore from previous installments of flying people, psychics, ghosts that can psychologically affect you, mind control, nanobots that can control entire people/nations, ninja cyborgs, a vampire that can also suck cyborg fluids, skullface, the parasitic skull army, that weird firey bastard that has the psychic ghost/teleporting child thing in a straight jacket that can soak bullet and rechannel their energy whose entire existence is impossible and NEVER explained, a girl with a bomb the size of her torso IN her torso being smuggled and no one noticing it let alone it not killing her by existing in her body, the act of cloning throughout the series, single man being able to take out entire armies, etc. etc. etc. It's fiction. Why the obsession (over 30 videos on youtube btw) of "debunking" only Quiet is weird. There's literally millions of other aspects to Metal Gear that make absolutely no sense and is scientifically impossible. But, like noted, naked women get views. Here we are 2 years later and this video has 1.1mil views. I'm sure if Shoddy had done a video about how Psychomantis can't actually be telekinetic or psychopathic, it'd get 100 views and wouldn't pay the bills. Kind of ironic a video trashing a concept that was used to draw revenue is only created to draw revenue off that exact same concept.

    To be fair, you blatantly ignored that the functions you pulled out for Quiet are not performed by HER, per se, but by a symbiotic organism that replaced her skin and lungs. While the total energy requirements ARE bullshit, everything else IS plausible depending on what magical process the organism in question uses. In theory, all she would need would be a plausible is to be able to absorb 8.3 MJ (or 2000 kcal) of energy from sunlight and a few trace minerals from her environment. The bullshit comes out to be the energy requirement.
    The sun provides an illuminance of ~1.3 kW / m2. Let's make out math easy and assume her exposed skin has a total surface area of .65m2 that gives her a maximum energy input of 500W from sunlight at 100% efficiency. Assuming she spends 8 hours per day sunbathing she would be able to absorb 500W *60 sec * 60 min * 8 hr or ~14.4 MJ. However, the best solar panels on the planet operate at only ~20% efficiency and plants average ~24%. That means that she would need to be at least three times more efficient than a green plant at absorbing incoming radiation from the sun.

      Quiets lungs are burnt to ash. Her insides are all kinds of messed up due to stuf that happens in the story before you recruit her. She didn't get these abilities until after that happened. Before she was just another soldier, but after she got all those abilities, some of which are the photosynthesis.
      Now we all know its all bs anyway and an excuse to justify a character design. Personally I'm fine with that, but this video only looks at that one claim when in order to deal with that claim you should also look at the other things that she went through to get there.
      Though that would be telling some spoilers for Quiets story, but it could be done in a way to not give away the overall story spoilers. at least not more than Austin already hinted at here.

    The MGSV companions are D-Horse, D-Dog, D-Walker, and... Quiet.

    • @finn_underwood
      @finn_underwood 7 років тому +6

      Dead Or Alive Modelling Agency The in-game cutscene camera says othetwise. It so clearly focuses on Quiet's clevage and ass at times for no reason other than sex appeal.
      One could make the argument we're seeing fron Snake's viewpoint, but A: It rarely does this, so doing it now it very obviously suspisious, and B: Just because she's a badass doesn't mean it's still not exploitation. The designers used her body to exploit the male gaze to make people like the game more so it would sell more. They very clearly made her a sex-symbol (just because she's badass doesn't mean she isn't also a sex symbol). The best proof of this is the only time we see a topless or half-naked man in the game in an even remotely sexy light would be if you equip your character and your guards in swimsuits. This is an optional thing that's relatively hidden and not in-your-face about it. Quiet, however, is ALWAYS in sexy attire, the cutsenes focus on her body, and the only time you can actually cover her up is if you unlock one of her cosmetic costumes (of which only one doesn't have her boobs exposed and jiggle physics active) and it costs credits to start a mission wearing that, meaning that you have to pay in-game currency to make her decent.
      It's exploitation. There is no sexified, half-naked male that the camera focuses on in a sexy way, and the only decent clothing she has is unlocked after you've built up her relationship meter, and it's one of the later unlocks at that.
      Just because she's a badass doesn't mean it's not exploitation.
      Edit: Yes, I know your name "Dead or Alive modeling agency" suggests your comment is a joke, but A: I've seen other people use this argument seriously, and B: I didn't want to leave that comment without a response, as I'd feel like I was basically agreeing with you.

    • @finn_underwood
      @finn_underwood 7 років тому +1

      Fine, "Pandering" is a more accurate term here.
      Look....
      I think you're trying to make the argument that Quiet dresses like that because she doesn't care and/or is confident enough to deal with the inevitable gazes she gets from the men on Motherbase and Snake.
      That she dresses that way because she chooses to.
      But the thing is...
      She breathes and drinks through her skin. It says so right in game; she cannot wear normal clothes; she needs to be as naked as possible at all times in order to live.
      And who, prey tell, wrote this restriction into her character?
      The writers. The game developers.
      They literally forced her character to wear skimpy outfits.
      Like, she doesn't chose to wear skimpy outfits; she NEEDS to.
      ...So, what motivations did the writers have to do this?
      She's forced to dress slutty. It's irrelevant if she wants to or not; she's required to in order to survive.
      So it's not like she's choosing to dress this way.
      ...Think about the reasoning behind _why_ the writers did that.
      And then consider that there is very clearly jiggle physics implemented, and consider how there are cutscenes which focus entirely on her breasts and butt.
      ...Pandering. Plain and simple.

    • @finn_underwood
      @finn_underwood 7 років тому +1

      My initial argument was that her being in skimpy outfits was exploiting the sex appeal angle.
      The game designers made her near-nude specifically, and for no real other reason, than sex appeal.
      You seem to agree with this.
      So... The reason I have an issue with this pandering?
      It's insulting.
      This doesn't just apply to MGSV; any media that resorts to sex-appeal-exploitation and pandering is just insulting.
      It's as if the designers of the game think I'm some immature teenage boy who will get aroused by some random out-of-nowhere shot of some breasts with no real context other than "Hey look, females exist! Aren't they hot?"
      It's demeaning and it's a cliche that seriously needs to stop, but that's not my point;
      Quiet's outfit is a stain on MGSV. This obvious, blatant sex-appeal actively lowers the quality of the overall game, as it's a prime example of how the developers didn't feel the game was good enough to sell itself, and instead felt obligated to throw in sex-appeal.
      It's something critics can target, and with good reason.
      ...Regardless, it seems as though the initial argument of if this is exploitation has been resolved; while our definitions of the word may vary, we seem to both agree her outfit is designed with the sole intention of sex-appeal.
      Going to my original comment... as I said, it's not like the designers were being subtle about this exploitation and pandering. If they are going to do it, at the very least they could have gone all-the-way and made a joke out of it.
      Hence the joke name, "D-Cup".

    Its fine to not want to go back and play the other games, but because they are all a part of an interconnected story, you have no justification in saying the plot makes no sense and is overblown. Its like opening a book and reading two chapters from the middle - not a lot is going to make sense. There is also an awful lot of information about the parasites in the game and in quiet that you seem to just not know - if you want to fairly call it nonsensical, you'd have to account for all the information the game actually gives, which you evidently didn't, because the game does clearly state that its not Quiet herself performing photosynthesis and etc, its the parasites and symbiosis they have, which makes all this infinitely more plausible at the least, and you have no way of disproving as there isn't a real world equivalent of the parasites to compare the ones in game to. This isn't supposed to be a justification for Quiet's attire saying that there's no way kojima had her the way she was for sex appeal, this is just the proper clarification of game lore and story you ignored. And if they are going to put in some shameless sex appeal, isn't it also fine to simultaneously be justified in the plot too? Not just upheld by some weak reason either, but a key point that the entire story of the game hinges on.

    I'm sorry if I missed anything big from skimming over the rest of the video but after your lizard DNA splicing argument I realized that you completely missed the fact that [SPOILERS] her DNA isn't spliced at all and she is covered with millions to billions of parasites on the surface of her skin that are more like symbiotes because they are the ones doing the breathing and photosynthesis and drinking, they are the ones that can change their melanin content to blend in and make her appear "Invisible", and they give those abilities to her in return for living on her body. That's why saltwater can kill her, because it kills the parasites, and I will give you the argument that they couldn't possibly give her enough energy through photosynthesis to possible support her unless they are godly good at it but I think this is a fact you are completely forgetting about in your argument. P.S. I know I'm late to the party, I just got this game though. TL:DR HER SKIN IS COVERED IN PARASITES!

      Video game logic is why we look the other way when bullets are only effective in cut-scenes or when your character can eat a ham to regain health. Video game logic does not extend to the stupidest, most ill thought out justification for having titillation in a video game, ever. The concept makes no sense, no effort is put in to have it make any sense, and worst of all, there was no need for that BS. Kojima just decided that stupid was better than admitting he designed Quiet the sex appeal to be sex appeal.

      @jorger1818 8 років тому

      Lenny Face Using food is a terrible analogy. See, the problem here is the fact that the graphics are simply outdated (at least in the case of the first two "Solid" games). They're PS1 graphics, back when 3D models were basically brand new for video games- you can take literally any N64/PS1 game and compare it to any game made past 2008 and people would obviously say that the newer one looks better. It seems like a stupid reason to completely dismiss a game, though. So what, the game looks like crap and that puts you off completely? Whoopdie freakin doo, I guess you'll never be able to properly try classics and games that have been hailed as revolutionary just because you can't handle it when the game doesn't practically look like real life.
      I guess my point is, graphics shouldn't be a primary factor in judging a game and they definitely shouldn't be the only thing you consider when looking at a game. Games were originally made to play and graphics and story weren't that much of a concern until some point near the end of the SNES/Genesis era. Well, graphics were always an added bonus, but it's not like people went to go buy a megaman game because it looked cool even if they hated megaman's gameplay.

      Either way, he can have his reasons, doesn't mean I won't call him out on making stupid and lazy excuses.

    While I don't want to be "that guy"...Did you not get to the part of the game that tells you about how her skin and lungs are in fact not her at all, but a basically a colony of symbiotic organisms? Now of course her outfit is fanservice as much as it gets, but it also makes this video about "possibilities of human skin" but not about Quiet at all, whatsoever.

    • @buca117
      @buca117 8 років тому

      The video doesn't even discuss the topic of skin. It's all about energy and nutrition, both of which Quiet's human inside still depends on.
      Besides, photosynthesis, being the plant version of breathing, doesn't provide energy on its own. And even if it did, it would still take an inordinate amount of solar efficiency to pull it off. For reference, a single square foot of typical solar panel has roughly the solar-to-watt efficiency of 14%, which means it produces about 10 watts. It takes ~2300 watt/hours to equal a 2000 Calorie diet, which means you'd need 230 square feet of solar panel to equal a human diet in energy.
      Fourteen percent, incidentally, is around the average efficiency rate of a plant.
      Beyond even _that_, there's the sheer amount of mass that needs to be absorbed. You think all that brown stuff that you crap out every day is just food? No. Like urine, feces is the waste products of the entire body. Old cells that don't work anymore make up a huge part of feces, just like old water that cells can't use anymore make up a huge part of urine.
      Your body needs physical nutrients to make new cells or your body would slowly crumble from the inside (ie, starve).
      And, as explained in the video, you simply can't gain that kind of mass from the air. You need to find a much more efficient way of intaking it, and the way almost every organism on the plant has evolved to do this is to eat.

    • @Cheers-kun
      @Cheers-kun 8 років тому

      I guess the simple version of what I said can be boiled down to "It's not possible to talk about scientific possibilities of something you don't know the properties of." such as colonies of 'alien' parasites that form or perhaps replace organs of other organisms in such a way as is described, while the game never really goes into specifics.

      VariantAEC
      Actually, we do. We even know if we had omniscient eyes and could see the entirety of the electromagnetic spectrum, we would know we live a black universe where all matter looks like glass. Think about how X-rays can go through your skin because their size of the wavelength.
      So limiting the wave spectrum to just visible, oh shoot, glass still looks like glass. Why is that? Because glass has a crystal structure,so we can correctly assume structure is directly correlated to reflection.
      In chloroplast case, the structure it chose is very heat efficient. Plants are really good at catching green wavelengths, but instead of being pink (anti-green), it prioritizes catching other wavelengths because absorbing green all in the surface of leaf could risk damaging it. So chloroplast catches green in layers instead.

    • @Rajoovi1
      @Rajoovi1 8 років тому +2

      Well the most obvious answer why something is any colour is that the specific object absorbs every other colour except the one we see, which it reflects. So yes, we know why every molecule is any given colour. We just don't know exactly what causes that colour to be reflected instead of other ones. Except for the ones we do. Science. I think.
