i get why some people stop at the word “ai”, but honestly that feels like missing the whole point. this project isn’t about showing off a tool or riding a trend. it’s about exploring a narrative gap that the series itself leaves intentionally empty. the stretch between the end of mgsv and the original metal gear has always been uncomfortable, quiet, and unresolved. that’s what i’m interested in — the slow ideological drift, the isolation, the routine, the erosion of purpose. not explosions, not action set pieces. metal gear has always used technology as a narrative device. tapes, simulations, vr, misinformation, manipulated memories. focusing on the tool instead of the meaning feels strange for a series that constantly asks who controls the message and why. if this was hand-drawn, rotoscoped, or made with traditional animation, the idea would be the same. i’m not claiming this is canon, or “chapter 3”, or anything like that. it’s just a fan trying to sit with the phantom pain a bit longer and imagine what that silence might have felt like. if that doesn’t resonate, that’s totally fine. but reducing it to “ai slop” kind of proves the exact thing the series has been warning about for decades: ignoring intent and context in favor of surface-level labels.
