Playing through MGS V, I fucking love this series and this game but ngl, I can’t help but think so much of MGS is nonsense, which I’m totally fine with.

But I haven’t really done a deep dive into the story or it’s commentary, so it’d be cool if someone more uhh analytically inclined could explain this shit to me if it’s worth explaining.

Edit: really cool to play in Afghanistan, not cool to be killing Soviet soldiers

A lot of MGS is just copied from movies, animes and mangas/comics Kojima and his friends liked. The good stuff inside there comes from Kojima genuinely having good politics, the bad stuff comes from him coping american movies and some weird horny brainworms he have.
