@@selemanecu actually, Jack was another alias for Naked Snake. The Boss says so in a codec call during Virtuous Mission.

One eye, doesn't smoke, Solidus. Two eyes, doesn't smoke, Liquid. Two eyes, smokes cigarettes, Solid. One eye, E-cigar, Venom. And finally, the one who smokes cigars, Big Boss
I’m not sure it’s electrical? I seem to remember a codec call between punished snaked and otacon/Hall.E in mgsv where otacon explains the cigar is actually made of a mix of herbs that affect perception of time. Please correct me if I’m wrong , I haven’t googled any of this

Venom snake explanation Venom is not some random medic he's you in the very first mission you create a avatar that represents you the player you put in your birth date your name you become apart of Big Boss' legacy
There's 6 different characters that have the same codename John, the original Snake goes by the codename Naked Snake. Later, he is given the name Big Boss. He starts out not accepting that title, so he continues to call himself Snake. Big Boss ends up in a coma, and his DNA is stolen during that time. And 3 clones are made, David and Eli who are twins, and George, who is a "perfect" clone of Big Boss. George becomes the second Snake when he adopts the name Solidus Snake. It's not clear when, butbits safe to assume it was before Big Boss woke from his coma. Because Big Boss is being hunted by the organization, CYPHER, they make up a guy to think he's Snake, and give him plastic surgery to look like him. He becomes Venom Snake. He's the third Snake. After Big Boss starts to solely address himself as Big Boss, he drops the Snake codename, and gives it to David when he joins FOXHOUND, Big Boss' organization. David's codename becomes Solid Snake. Once Venom Snake and Big Boss are both defeated by David, Eli resurrects FOXHOUND and becomes its leader. In order to oppose David, he takes on the name Liquid Snake, becoming the 5th Snake. Due to the colonel being an AI during the Sons of Liberty incident, he addresses Raiden as Snake only briefly. I hope this helps clear it up.
If it makes this easier. Just treat Snake as a last name of a huge family: Naked: The father of the house Solid and Liquid: Sons, Twins Solidus: Yet another son Vemon: Naked's adoptive (and brainwashed) brother. Who was mistaken for Naked all the time Raiden: some poor kid who hangs with Solid a lot. So was breifly mistaken as a Snake. Later when he finds himself, he starts using swords, tossing metal gears, kills an ex-president, and pick fights with a Senator
Naked Snake: became big boss. Protag of MGS 3, 5, and Peace Walker. Solid Snake: clone of big boss, protag of MGS 1 and 4, and the prologue of MGS 2. Liquid Snake: Also clone of big boss, dies in 1 and gets arm attached to another character which.... Takes his mind over. Don't ask. Antagonist of MGS 1, and technically 2 and 4 (again, don't ask) Solidus Snake: Another clone of Big Boss. Main antagonist of MGS 2. Only in 2. Venom Snake: dude pretending to be Big Boss. Protag of MGS 5. Everything else this dude mentions is irrelevant and/or just adds to the confusion. Raiden is not Snake, that was a troll by Kojima at the beginning of 2.
Metal Gear reminds me of being in 4th grade and writing a bat shit story for school, only to make the twist at the end, “BUT IT WAS ALL A DREAM.” to get out of actually having to connect any plot elements together lmao
Isn't his accelerated aging a result of Cipher's cloning process (either manipulated by Cipher directly or inherent to the cloning process because of the DNA samples of Big Boss being taken when he was old [something something telomeres getting shorter after multiple cell divisions])?
There are actually 3 clones - les enfants terribles : solid, liquid, solidus. Venom snake is not a clone, its just a human (not going to say who to not spoil) that was modified to look like jack aka big boss. There are also other "snakes" in the series but they are just derivations of these 5 persons
The main issue I have is that they clearly show the body of what’s supposed to be solidous snake in MGS4 and it’s missing the right eyeball which doesn’t make sense since solidous snake’s LEFT eye is the one that got got somehow, but whatever, let’s just say that in order to make it believable whenever was in charge of that swapped the eyes or whatever. Easy, HOWEVER, it doesn’t explain how Big Boss shows up at the end of MGS4 with ZERO burn marks. Burn marks that he would’ve received during his fight with solid snake in metal gear 2
I don’t have a source to give you but I remember somebody saying Cipher used Solidus’s body as a donor to repair Big Boss, either while BB was forced into a coma or afterwards. Not sure though and I could just be blowing smoke up your butt. It seems likely to me though
Actually it was explained in MGS4 in the final cutscene, but most people zoned out because it’s wayyyy too long. Basically Big boss in MGS4 is the same one who died* in MG2, his body was reconstructed using technology and Solidus and Liquid’s skin *I think he fell into a coma I don’t exactly remember.
The only thing I really learned from the entire metal gear series is that Hideo Kojima should always have an experienced and determined story editor right beside him at All Times!!!!
This is absolutely the best video I’ve seen that clears this up for gamers. And especially in such a short period of time! Not taking the time to explain the story link between everyone, but simply the distinction between all of the Snakes. Well done.
I have been playig metal gear series over 20 years, because its awesome. I just fell in love to these games when I very first time started playing mgs1 on my plastation. Last time I played mgsv was about two monts ago.
Raiden was an attempt to recreate/enhance snake using purely experience, like the case was with venom, but it failed because Raiden’s baseline was too different
Meh some rando they mind f'ed into believing He's Big Boss aka Naked Snake kinda sums up Venom Snake just fine. It's Liquid Snake that's the hot mess. What with the whole arm thing and possessing Ocelot. Which is never properly explained. Let alone his kid version being able to go all Sith Lord at the end of V.
@@clothar23he aint a random he was msf’s best soldier that big boss considered a friend and thats why he brought him on the mission as the medic. Venom snake is easily the best written snake besides big boss. And for ocelot big boss did say that ocelot used hypnotherapy into believing hes liquid how the medic believed he was big boss
i know pliskin is not snake but is he because when he gives us the socom pistol raiden can actullay give a shaver (easter egg or smtn you can actualy pick a shaver on the swimming part with raiden) when you do that u can see that there is no beard on snake on the codec
And I thoug Ocelot was a double agent by The Patriots and went into hypnosis with help from "0"s AI . That aside , Punished Snake /Venom Snake is "Medic" aka his best soldier (who I thought is Grayfox or he became later ?! ) The good thing about MGS universe is ,you could interpret a lot of lazy/messy design choices into a much better plot in your head-fanfiction. My only wish would be to close the gab between MG PP & Metal Gear 1 which was before Solid Snake infiltrated Outer Heaven. update: I did check Snake Eater Ending and he was a double agent named "ADAM" .
Its rly not that hard but most people only played 1 or 2 games in the series and thats why they get so confused. If you play all main entries preferably in cronological order ( starting with mgs 3) its really easy to understand
I thought they said in mgs4 that only solidus snake was a true perfect clone of big boss? Solid and liquid snake are only half clones of big boss. Each having either dominant or recessive genes whereas solidus had both dominant and recessive genes to be the perfect clone? So pretty much liquid and solid snake are more like sons of big boss rather than clones.
So basically The original, 3 clones and a body double Liquid , Solid , Solidus are the clones Naked Snaked is just Big Boss before he became big boss Venom snake is Big Bosses body double
Naked Snake (Big Boss also named John) is the original Snake 1972 “Les Enfants Terribles” project begins leading to the birth of Eli (Liquid Snake) and David (Solid Snake) who’re biological clones of Naked Snake, but they’re inferior. Then came George (Solidus) who’s said to be a perfect clone. 1984 a body double of Naked Snake wakes up from a coma, he’s had 9 years of brainwashing and plastic surgery to look and act like Naked Snake. His identity is the actual player who Big Boss chose to share his indentity with.
I allways thought that raiden being called snake in the beginning had to do with replicating the shadow moses incident to make any nobody soldier as great as sold snake (though it kinda didn't make sence since raiden actually has extensive combat training and is known as jack the ripper)Also is liquid ocelot actually just ocelot who brainwashed himself into believing he was being controlled by liquids arm for reasons i dont remember?
Venom *is* Big Boss now. No, he and Naked Snake, the two of them together are Big Boss. Also, fun fact: the Big Boss you face at the end of Metal Gear was probably actually Venom Snake who took over Outer Heaven from Naked Snake so he could go do other stuff. And since Vemon is kinda the player, you end that game fighting yourself.
I hate how Solid Snake in Fortnite is clearly based on the Smash variant, which is an amalgamation of Solid and Naked Solid Snake does not have a beard and these crossovers are muddying the distinction
Even simpler. There's only 2 snakes that really matter. Naked and Solid. Naked IS big boss, and Solid IS Old Snake. Solidus, Liquid, and Raiden are easily differentiated. Venom Snake isn't a real person. The end!
I appreciate the attempt to clear it up but, to be honest, parts of your explanation was just as confusing. I had to pause and rewatch parts of your video multiple times which I imagine is the opposite effect you're going for. With something as confusing as this; different characters with the same name and appearance, you need to be explicit when clarifying. That means no short off the cuff explanations and no having different snakes on the same screen when describing only one of them. Lol. In future, an example could be, "this is liquid snake. He is also a clone of Big Boss. Big Boss is also referred to as Naked Snake". Explicit and clear, instead of; "Liquid Snake is Solid Snake's twin brother". Edit: I still liked your video.
People who work for Wikipedia or other form of information Media should ask professionals or devs who is who because it really irritates me that they get confused it’s not hard to tell
I think this whole "confusion" only comes from outsiders who never played the series. Anyone who played these games will know who all the Snakes are. Seriously it's not as convoluted as it sounds.
Naked snake is the real bit boss the one that you see in middle solid phantom pain is it the real one but as in middle gear solid around zero that’s the real snake ak.ak naked-snake and raiden is not any of the clones a big boss
As someone who hasn't played MGS5 but has played the rest, can someone explain what the point of Venom Snake is? If he really is a random guy brainwashed to think he's Big Boss, the character sounds very pointless, irrelevant and didn't need to be part of the MGS story. I was hoping MGS5 followed the story of Big Boss after MGS3. Following some random guy sounds kind of lame story wise. But I'm probably missing a lot since I'm sure Kojima meant it to be deeper than that.
3:21 instead of you pointing out to the screen, why dont you just show us the image in the video? Sorry but its better you show the Snakes instead of your face.
chonological lore of metal gear solid explained badly (spoiler alert): the philosophers: exist also the philosophers: so any we started blasting. the boss: gets pregnant to ocelot people to me : you can't just describe ocelott's entire character with 7 words. me: ocelott in a nutshell: big boss rules! the cipher: what a good day to be not-dead one member: I diagnose you with to-die soon. patriot's AI : *exists* the rest of the characters: I am about to end this man's whole career.
There’s Solid Snake (David), Naked Snake (Big Boss), Venom Snake (You), Liquid Snake (Eli), and Solidus Snake (George). VERY simple.
Jack was also a temporary 6th “Snake” at the start of MGS2 before being changed to Raiden. Just love pointing out a trivial technicality.

3:21 instead of you pointing out to the screen, why dont you just show us the image in the video? Sorry but its better you show the Snakes instead of your face.
So wich one is the original snake??
MGS3 Snake Eater. Solid Snake.

Guess I have a degree in metal gear solid because I understood everything on the 1st playthrough.
Man, that's a galaxy level brain you got there.
chonological lore of metal gear solid explained badly (spoiler alert):
the philosophers: exist
also the philosophers: so any we started blasting.
the boss: gets pregnant to ocelot
people to me : you can't just describe ocelott's entire character with 7 words.
me:
ocelott in a nutshell: big boss rules!
the cipher: what a good day to be not-dead
one member: I diagnose you with to-die soon.
patriot's AI : *exists*
the rest of the characters: I am about to end this man's whole career.
