Metal gear solid v the phantom pain big boss series#
We've gone from controlling a mostly-human looking sprite on screen in a setting with zero narrative, to a series more increasingly cinematic with stories as entertaining as they are convoluted.
Along the way, many old series have died off, and many new ones have sprung up but the Metal Gear series has carved its way from a niche following, to a household name.

PC and console gaming both has gone through rigorous evolution since. These may not be "good" people by your definition, but they are nevertheless people who chose to act on behalf of those who could not defend themselves.It's been 28 years since the release of the original Metal Gear for the MSX. What was my point again? Oh, right, yeah, while you may subjectively look at a character and say "that's not a good person" I would argue that their goals, their hopes and dreams also have merit. Who himself sought to grant the power of the gods to the common people, and ultimately he pays for this sin against the all powerful for eternity. Each "villain" in the MGS series is essentially another retelling of Prometheus.

To free people and allow them to choose for themselves what kind of society they want to live in, what kind of people they want to be. They didn't want power, they didn't want to rule the world, all they sought to do was free it from the oppression of the Patriots. I suppose all of this is to point out that every antagonist in the MGS series (save for Volgin who is just a piece of shit) would be a hero had they succeeded. It's pretty depressing when taken into the greater context of the MGS series. That's his start of darkness, and his optimism, hope, and ultimately his humanity are stripped from him because every cause he comes to believe in is corrupted and perverted by the very war machine that destroyed his innocence (or naivety) in MGS3. Until his country betrays him by betraying the most important person in his life. Then you have Big Boss, who believed wholeheartedly in his country and its values. He got smacked back down by the Patriots because, ultimately, one man against the war machine of America is still just one man. He was trying to live up to the ideals set by the American founding fathers. Solidus was a war criminal who used child soldiers, but his goal was to free the world from the Patriots' oppression. The funny thing about all of the revolutions in the MGS series, the failed ones stopped by Solid Snake or Raiden, all of the antagonists in those games were actually noble people. Add into it the reason why Big Boss did what he did (the retcon in MGS4 that made the government and military industrial complex the villains of MGS and not the, well, episodic antagonists) and it gets even more clouded. I think MGS3 and Peace Walker did a lot to muddy the waters on that.

Even in MGS 4 he was full of regret for all the terrible shit he was responsible for. A villain corrupted by his own perspectives and warped ideologies is still a villain. Before the series became what it was, he was a straight up villain and warmonger. If we're getting that specific then the 'bad guy' is someone like Volgin who was just reprehensible. Sure, someone can claim that Big Boss had noble intentions or that he's not 'really' a bad guy in the grande scheme of morality, or even go as far as to call him an 'anti-hero', since that's the catch-all term for 'protagonists who don't act like typical heroes'. and feed them back onto the battlefield.' 'Start a war, fan its flames, and create victims. Big Boss thrives on a cycle of war and it's consumed his whole being. In the first Metal Gear, Big Boss is trying to establish Outer Heaven's military supremacy with their nukes and their giant robot nuke launcher. Nevermind the ordinary non-soldiers of the world. The guy is so disillusioned and hung up over the only woman he's ever loved that he turns into a war criminal, even using children to further his goals of destabilizing the world to create an ideal place for soldiers.
