[OVERANALYSIS] Real world parallels for the parasite in mgsv :pp - misteral999 - 02-08-2025
ok so here it goes
as we know the parasite plays an extremely important role in the lore of mgsv:pp
and its a type of bio-weapon that includes these symptoms: (please on your good will add or delete symptoms because i might have missed or added some by mistake)
1- infects a certain group ( based on language/mothertongue/race or...)
2-the infected person will not realize it got infected till the virus gets its core deep into the body organs ( lungs ?!)
3- it has a maker ( didnt came out of thin air)
4- the core of its pandemic process is speech and air of course
5- physical signs will be visible when already virus has got controll of the body
6-has a vaccine ( dont remember this part but i guess it was in the game)
7- could be used to make a super soldier and save him/her out of lethal injuries ( in quiet case of course)- and yeah it has defenitley some serious side effects ( made quiet the quiet we know, literraly)
...........................................................................................................................
ok so these were all the symptoms i could think of. as mentioned above feels free to concern yours.
OPINION (self):
i dont know that much about bio-weapons and shit but he closest thing i can make of is a comparison between COVID19 and the parasite so here goes nothing :
1-both have a maker ( i dont think a virus such as corona that shook the world on that level and emptied the places that were populated up to the throat and nobody would have thought such venues- squares and town streets get empty like a desert till the judgment day- came out of thin air
1.1-no one know for certain who made it ( roll your eyes plz
)2. both gets pandamised through the air ( parasite by speech- corona by coughing-sneezing)
3- both have vaccines ( so there is a way back, thank god
)4- the infected person in both might not get acknowledged of being infected till late ( in the beginning of the pandemic of corona when the death toll was high and for i guess a loong time no one knew what are we dealin with, i guess we all heard that symptoms varies and some had covid without even knowing and some even died not knowing they got died because of covid or when the symptoms would have came to the surface and people got sneez and cough and fever and... it was too late or the infection was in a advanced stage that could prolong the recovery period)
5- both had it lethal cores deep in the lungs ( by making the breathing process hard for the patient)
.......................................................................................................................
DISADVANTAGES of covid compare to parasite :
1- no super soldier shit
2- couldnt be centralized ( i mean the parasite infected who the makers wished but the covid cut even the hand of it allllegggged makers
ADVANTAGES : none that i know of.
share your take and of course this is just a silly thread not much, do not take it seriously

fetuses seem like a better parallel to me, they fit everything on that list except for 4 and 7 (although all super-soldiers would technically come from them)/s

Kojima predicted COVID-19!!! (Twice?)
I feel most of these similarities are similar to a lot of pandemics, no? But I like that you listed ways coronavirus is weaker than the vocal chord parasite. It’s like Death Battle. What do you think is the closest real life comparison to FOXDIE? And what’s more advantageous, Vocal Chords or FOXDIE?

I like where you're coming from but I think it's more like that Kojima predicted the Spanish Flu personally.
