Metal Gear Misconceptions?

[ballisticola]

A notable Metal Gear misconception is that Quiet from MGSV:TPP was a new character, when this was in fact Ricardo "Chico" Libre from Peace Walker and GZ. It isn't made explicit in the game but this aligns with TPP's ambiguous style of storytelling. We didn't know for certain if Huey was guilty either, but one decides based on the available evidence. There is overwhelming evidence for Quiet's identity but sadly this remains unrecognised by the wiki as well as most of the community. I think about this every day and I will one day be vindicated.

You are joking, right?

Anyway, there are loads.

• Kojima hating the series and never wanting to make it.
  
• Kojima saying he only made MGS4 because of death threats, even though the only time he talked about the death threats he talked about how is was involved, and the only thing he wasn't doing was directing.
  
• Miller physically trained Solid Snake, even though Campbell literally introduced Snake to Miller in MG2.
  
• Miller was working for Skull Face in GZ, because the actor Crispin Freeman voiced a soldier (during the attack on Paz) the sounds like Robin Atkin Downes.
  
• That Meryl died in MGS1 and MGS4 retconned her back into the series, despite the fact "In The Darkness of Shadow Moses" clearly states all three got off the island safely.
  
• That the Patriots would have never let Big Boss back into the US, which misses the point of PW entirely, with Zero orchestrating the whole event to bring Big Boss back to the US.
  
• That leads onto people thinking Zero and Big Boss were literally at war with each other, when it was actually a cold war, and the worst it ever got was Paz losing her shit in PW...which Zero warned her of.
  
• FOXDIE being responsible for Snake's aging.
  
• Nanomachines explain the mysteries of the series...when at most it explains two things, and those two things are seriously debatable or even provably untrue.
  
• Speaking of which, Vamp had healing powers. Naomi literally says it. The nanos only enhanced them.
  

I could go all day long LOL
