    I absolutely ADORE how you match the greenscreen lighting as you're actually there, in the game space. Can't say I have seen it before, it's pretty original!

    “Huh? You don’t like girls?” and “They gave me psychotherapy to destroy my interest in men”, iconic lines

    It now strikes me that MGS1 is the start of a common thread in Kojima’s endings: a mystified force, initially perceived as natural and/or inevitable, is placed within its proper social and historical context, and then subverted, though not necessarily overthrown or destroyed outright. We see this • in Snake’s advice to Raiden at the end of 2, • in Eva’s revelation of the Boss’ will at the end of 3, and • in Sam and Lou’s victory over aging and death in the final shots of Death Stranding.

  • @solfell_
    Excellent analysis as always! Looking forward to the rest of the story <3 Also the otacon and snake riding off into the sunset ending is really the only one that matters to me, gotta be real. Thank you for including it lmao

    The ending of MGS2 marked me as a person, it's message striked to me when I didn't knew what was going to happen in the future, I felt lost and fearful, Snake's final monologue told me that It was in my hands whom I want to be, and it is my responsibility to live up to myself and the people that will come after me, fighting for a better future, and not letting my past define me In other words, Metal Gear made me trans (Im so excited for the next video ☺️☺️☺️)

    i adored your recent vids, and I'm really stoked for this one!😊
  • Yes!!! I've been hoping you'd eventually revisit the series like this. Discussions around Metal Gear tend to be more interesting when they come from a personal space. Like with the codec calls, it's less about the rote repetition of facts and more about what they mean to the person saying them. I'm sure the best is yet to come ❤
  • I dropped everything just to watch this and I can't wait to see the rest of this series, best of strength to you
  • @nargames
    Woah how did you greenscreen yourself into these environments and match the color that's pretty cool
  • @mikedrop4421
    I'd say you're worthy of such a property. The care and attention you put into your writing, the ideas and intent behind the words, visuals, aesthetics and editing feel honest. That's probably the biggest complement I can give a creator. Thanks for putting out something that makes the world a little better.

    I loved how you mentioned Solid Snake’s anomalous and symbolic survival of FoxDie, it’s my favorite part of the game but somehow always left out of the discussion. Great vid!

    How to beat Psychomantis: "Nope, that's the cup with natural milk in it, I just thought really hard about putting it in this cup." (Lil' victory sippy)
