Question: 10 Years On: What do you think of MGSV?

[starschwar]

My interpretation about Miller's betrayal:

As with most of TPP this is ambiguous, subject to interpretation. Here is one I somewhat subscribe to. I've posted parts of this recently, forgive my repetition:

I think Miller and Ocelot's post-credit conversation happens very early in the game - at some point before the Honey Bee mission. Miller was in the operating room - he knew Big Boss had both arms and no shrapnel horn - the Medic was the one with those afflictions, Miller saw it himself, asked the docs about him. When Big boss appealed to him to "tell me what to do, like before" - that's the moment. The moment he realized this truly was not the man he had been waiting nine years for. After recovering from captivity, he confronts Ocelot (post-credits conversation), and embarks on his multi-faceted revenge. Skull Face, Cipher, Big Boss - all of 'em. That's why he prioritizes the financial reward for the Stingers over "Big Boss's" safety, orders Quiet to be killed when she reached Mother Base - hell, I think he's the one who sent that jet after the chopper! That attack never happens if Venom executes Quiet. Promising "no lynch mob" while doing just that with Huey's show trial.

And - if I'm right. If he promised to make Venom and Big Boss's unwanted "sons" stronger that early? I can't rule out the possibility that Miller framed Huey for the outbreak and orchestrated Eli's escape, etc.

I'm probably giving this story way too much credit. But I feel like the pieces fit.
