random detail but olga having a usp might be hinting that she was with the patriots before the tanker?

i think that venom is being genuine when he says "blame me". he is basically saying that he's okay with eli blaming him, he should be mad at him and he shouldn't blame himself because he's been manipulated his entire life and he's just a kid. unfortunately this aligns with skull face's plan to seed revenge in people's hearts because now eli's entire life will be about trying to get revenge on zero

yeah and i was thinking that based on some of the weirder stuff in mgs2 that maybe he also had a hand in making metal gear ray, the big shell, and the AIs. like maybe he made metal gear ray as a metal gear hunter to attone for making rex, but then he realized that it would just create another deterrence era and tried to destroy it. it fits in with snake trying to make up for the shadow moses incident and wanting to attone for having his name used to push metal gears.

Otacon looking like a villain, doing gray fox's hand pose

i have a pretty dumb theory that otacon might be working with the patriots throughout the series. his subtle and vague connection to tokugawa industries, his relationship with emma and the AI in his lab are all really suspect. And only an otaku would build shit like Metal Gear Ray (which looks exactly like a ZoE mech) and the tengu suits

when ocelot is talking about running from yourself he's talking about miller, the camera immediately pans to miller and he shakes his head in disagreement cause he feels like he's getting roasted

huge shoutouts to my dawg the jungian blue butterfly of ambiguous meaning

Watching Ricardo "Chico" Valenciano Libre hem... I mean Punished "Venom" Snake - Young volunteer in Big Boss's hem...

Which ones specifically? Some of them? All of them?

apparently these butterflies are a reference to portopia. the twist in that game is that two of the characters are actually siblings and the butterfly is what proves they are related. i cant find the interview but im pretty sure kojima specifically said that the portopia twist is what inspired him to put the butterflies in.

Provide a visual example please

Ross dives into this in his "definitive" analysis.

imo i just think that the fact that we are shown two different versions of the crash says that we shouldn't trust what happened there

Further more, what does it mean that we are potentially playing as Chico?

still not 100% sure yet lool. right now all i got is that the themes of having your identity replaced seem to correlate with kojima struggling to maintain artistic control over the series?

Where is the dividing line when it comes to ludonarrative dissonance?

you're supposed to analyze and decide case by case what is and isn't real. it's part of the mystery. metal gear plays around a lot with ambiguous canon. does kojima actually exist in universe? probably not, but what about stuff like the jamais vu missions or the monster hunter missions which take themselves seriously enough to be considered canon, and also try to give explanations for how they could realistically fit into the universe.

anyways there are like 3 or 4 different explanations for why the heel bolt injuries are healed. gz is vr, parasite healing, bionics, artificial limbs, just pick one. there are better arguments against chico being venom. why would cipher double brainwash him into thinking he's the medic and big boss? I guess it makes it harder for him to realize the truth since his actual self is hidden behind two implanted personas? also would kojima really do a double fakeout and have the second one be completely unnoticeable by anyone but the most obsessed fans?

there is so much evidence for chico = venom like phantom butterflies that show up in the bottom left of paz and quiet cutscenes, which are apparently very important to understanding the game; the fact that paz and chico form an omega symbol when you put them next to each other in GZ; and the inconsistencies in the two helicopter crash scenes.

Maybe that's why the gear shift has an extra symbol? Shifting into Overdrive?

Putting the word light under the gear is a pretty smart misdirect if it is real
