History WMG / MetalGear

* Logically, then, Solid Snake is also [[Main/SpiderManTheAnimatedSeries Captain America]], which...well, [[http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_l77xiavx1h1qdnspco1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAI6WLSGT7Y3ET7ADQ&Expires=1333648477&Signature=JmwRQcvabq8CgwTeSh3AapPH%2BhI%3D yeah, actually.]]

It is revealed in MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain that [[spoiler: Venom Snake is a second Big Boss given fake memories and made into a body double for the real one, who is off building the real Outer Heaven in Zanzibar Land at that time. The original MetalGear is about the real Big Boss using Solid Snake to get rid of the "Phantom" Big Boss/Venom Snake, who hijacked Outer Heaven from him. The misleading codec calls and lies from Big Boss later in the game are all from Venom who you're trying to kill, while the truthful codec calls early in the game are from the real Big Boss who is still your commanding officer during the course of that game. The real Big Boss is the one you fight in the sequel.]]

* Important to note is that in the Japanese dub, the younger Big Boss, Solid Snake, and Solidus are all voiced by the same Seiyuu (and even in Big Boss's appearance in Metal Gear Solid 4, he's then voiced by that same man's father). This leaves only Liquid as having a different voice, somewhat jumbling up this theory.

Well if James Bond's birth place is called {{Skyfall}}. Then Big Boss's birthplace is actually called Snake Eater.

[[WMG: The entirety of Metal Gear Solid is a fantasy concocted by [[ModernWarfare Roach]], [[spoiler: and also his DyingDream.]]]]

** The reference is most likely directed towards the classic war movie TheWildGeese, featuring a group of mercenaries.

Solid Snake's voice is different from Liquid's despite them being twins. And Big Boss sounds nothing like his perfect clone Solidus. However, both BB and Solid are heavy smokers, which might have altered their voices, making them raspier. If they hadn't smoked, they would sound like Solidus and Liquid respectively.

Well if James Bond's birth place is called {{Skyfall}}. Then Big Boss's birthplace is actually called Snake Eater.

Otacon... o-ta-kon... Konota.. Konata! They're both self-professed otaku, and well, somebody back me up on this. (This implies ''nothing'' about a connection to SuzumiyaHaruhi.)

And the dominant and recessive genes really work that way in the Metal Gear universe as well. Think about it, Big Boss ends quite a bit of his lines with question marks, just like Solid Snake. Liquid doesn't, why? Because he has the better/dominant genes and the ParrotExposition is inferior/recessive because constantly repeating things back in the form of a question was seen as useless. As for Solidus? Who knows, he might have gotten more ParrotExpostion if he had even more screen time.

[[LargeHam It would explain his flair for theatrics.]]

With ''MetalGearSolidVThePhantomPain'' bridging the gap between ''MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGear'', the bridge will likewise be gapped between ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' and ''MetalGear2SolidSnake''.

With ''MetalGearSolid5ThePhantomPain'' bridging the gap between ''MetalGearSolidPeaceWalker'' and ''VideoGame/MetalGear'', the bridge will likewise be gapped between ''VideoGame/MetalGear'' and ''MetalGear2SolidSnake''.

* Those "soldier genes" are actually the SuperSoldier Serum inherited from his father.

[[WMG: Raiden is an alternate-universe [[Franchise/SpiderMan Spider-Man]]]]
* Think about it. Raiden is a [[ButtMonkey Butt Monkey]] rookie hero, following in the footsteps of a [[CaptainAmerica legendary Super-soldier]], who later becomes a superhuman with super strength, and has a [[ComicBook/Venom monstrous nemesis]]. Sound familliar at all?

* Solid Snake would've obviously died of old age by MGS5. However, as Liquid Ocelot and Screaming Mantis show, it's perfectly possible to use nanomachines and hypnosis to brainwash someone into having another person's personality. Solid Snake is one of the greatest soldiers who ever lived, and the government would find it incredibly useful to get a new one. Hell, maybe they plan on using this technology on more than one person at a time, so that they can get an entire army of Solid Snakes. Over the course of the game, the conditioning slowly slips away, and the protagonist regains his former personality.
