The story was so simple when the games were still in 2D exclusive to old PCs. After the jump to 3D though things changed. Remember how in MG2 it was like “somehow Big Boss returned” but MGS5 revealed MG1 Big Boss was actually Venom Snake turned evil and the real Big Boss showed up in MG2 where Snake proceeded to murder with hair spray before ditching his date to move to Alaska and then kidnapped to do the Shadow Moses mission in MGS1?
This is exactly how it feels whenever I have to explain to my friends or brother about the series, luckily my uncle is a fan so he gets my jokes, he’s the only one in the family other than me that plays the games
To be fair, they each make sense in their induvidual games. It's only a mess if you're trying to explain all of them. Them all being "Snake" just means you know hwo the main character is.
Alright MF's here is what I know from the clips and snippets I know. Naked Snake was the first snake, trained by the Boss who tried to kill him then switched sides to big bad guys after revealing she was a spy. Turns out she was a double agent this whole time to fool the enemy into thinking she works for them, and let Snake kill her since there can only be one Boss. She died a patriot but was forgotten and tarnished, leading Snake, now Big Boss to create a secret organization that will serve the soldier instead of the country. To protect himself as he makes this new base, he had brainwashed and facially reconstructed a medic who was also his friend to think he was Big Boss, named Venom Snake. Venom's job was to make the Big Boss a living legend, but to also make all international focus on him, keeping the real Big Boss safe as he built the organization. Solid and Liquid snake are then created from Big Boss's DNA to be the ultimate soldiers
So after i read your comment what i understand is -Naked Snake is the Big Boss -Naked Snake kill the boss -Venom Snake is not Snake clone but he's Big Boss friend who got brainwashed -Venom Snake is the fake Big Boss -Solid and Liquid is Big Boss Clone my question is, what happen to Big Boss (Naked Snake)? and why they call the boss as mother? i dont mind for spoiler i never play mg and mgs but i know few part of mg and mgs story
Wait, so venom snake is just a random friend medic that been brainwashed? But how is he as skilled a Big Boss then? I didn’t play MGS5, but Venom snake takes on a lot of almost superhuman enemies. If he’s just a random medic, how is he skilled enough to do that?
@@abdulrasyiid The Boss was called a mother since she raised Naked Snake. As well the Boss being scarred. She is a mother to Revolver Ocelot who would later become a spy like her, mother figure to Naked Snake, and Mother to Special Forces. By the end of Peacewalker, after a lot of failure and shenanigans, he willfully accepts death by embracing Solid Snake who had a virus on him that would kill him. He told Solid to go and live in peace, not waste it fighting. As those were the Boss's words to him that only then did he realize. Since when she told him that in the past, he believed she had betrayed everything they believed in as soldiers. He died saluting the Grave of the Boss.
@@Crazieyboy15 During Ground Zero, and Phantom Pain, the coma the Medic was in was 7 years. In those 7 years, Revolver Ocelot was the one who had continually brainwashed the Medic in his coma, he is so engrained into thinking he is Big Boss, that he actually does move and think like Big Boss.
@@kurtsurban2081And after all... That medic was a professional MSF fighter (the first Big Boss organisation to die specifically in Ground Zeroes), so his skills are easy enough to believe.
Also, Liquid technically came first because they used him as a guinea pig to create a phenotype where every single one of the Dominant Genes would be expressed, thus creating Solid, and leaving Liquid with all the Recessive Genes as a result, but actually not because when Ocelot reports to Solidus he mentions that the inferior, A.K.A Solid, won, thus meaning that in actuality, Liquid was the Phenotype with exclusively Dominant Genes, and despite Solid being VERY much at a disadvantage, he still still managed to win simply do to his training and mindset.
It's actually quite the opposite; liquid believes that's what happend but at the end of MGS 1 when ocelot is reporting to solidus, he says that the inferior one won (Meaning Solid) and the whole time liquid believed he was the inferior one when in fact he was the superior twin.
The whole series just feels like Kojima got high watching an action movie and decided to make the silliest, most serious series out there to put cool ideas he heard in the first paragraph of wikipedia pages in among loads of political messaging.
"Also there's mom-fucking, a Dracula nightmare sequence, and a *LOT* of pissing, diarrhea, and unexplained anime superpowers all while trying to take itself *WAY* too seriously."

Good that you corrected that Venom Snake did fight Solid Snake, but Solidus and Solid never actually fought, it was Raiden who faced off against Solidus
Don't bring raiden into this. Seeing that he was also called snake for the first few minutes of his gameplay in MGS2 This is a never ending rabbit hole
To summarize the summaries, Liquid Snake should have stayed until mgs4. Not as an arm stuck on 0celot. That's like lowering him to Thing from The Addams Family
If you think this is confusing, wait till we start explaining Snake's bosses. That's "bosses" with a small "b", not Boss and Big Boss which have capital "B"s.
Me - Just say Big Boss is granted the name Big Boss because he beats The Boss. Also Solid Snake in the games you never really fight Solidus, unless you're talking about the animation graphic novel which Solid Snake was the one to take down Solidus rather than Raiden. Gabe - Raiden who's that? Me - Here we go...
*MGS IN A NUTSHELL:* 1. Snake kills the boss and becomes big boss but it turns out the boss was an ally faking to be an enemy. The boss has a wish that is passed to naked snake the big boss but also ocelot is revealed to be the boss son (he pretended to be an enemy but was a triple agent) 2. snake was then cloned into 3 other snakes. Big boss gets his base blown up by cypher so he gets revenge 3. Solid snake, snakes clone, kills big boss (naked snake) and blows his base up, destroying a nuke machine called metal gear 4.Snake kills liquid snake, his brother who is naked snakes clone. He destroys a metal gear again 5. After this snake fights solidous snake who was the president, and then the ghost of liquid snak also the clone of snake, Then liquid snakes ghost comes back throigh ocelot gets defeated again 6. Liquid snake is back and wants big bosses body. He takes big boss body but then snake kills him. Then the revelations happen. liquid snake actually died fighting solid snake and this entire time ocelot was pretending to be possed by liquid snakes conscience all with the goal of destroying the la li lu le lo, a secret society made originally by big boss but that split up into another society. But actually this entire time big boss was actually alive and it turns out that the big boss solid snake killed *see 2 for reference was actually a fake big boss that switched with big boss. Also the big boss body that liquid stole was actually solidous snake the clone of naked snake. Snake then kills naked snake through a virus planted in him during the events of *3 and finally destroys the secret society once snd for all, but before dying naked snake reveals one final thing: TURNS OUT THEY MISSINTERPRETED WHAT THE BOSS ACTUALLY MEANT AND NONE OF THIS WAS NECESSARY IN THE FIRST PLACE. Everyone dies, and solid snake lives for 1 year before dying. After this his friend fights a buff us politician (yes this actually happened) The chronological order of thense games is confusing as well. Metal Gear Solid 3SE, Metal Gear Solid 5 parts 1 and 2, Metal Gear 1 and 2, Metal Gear Solid 1, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Rising If you're confused don't worry it's more confusing one you actually play it lmao
Only one I didn’t understand is solidus and that’s because i have never heard of him before. As for the rest, I somehow understood all of it despite not having the MG lore downloaded into my brain.
Basically Solidus is just an evil former politician with robotic tentacles, nanomachine aging which kicked in earlier than Solid Snake and allegedly born before Solid and Liquid but that can be discussed, seeing he wa just the straight up clone made to replace him identically, but gene-fuckery caused him to be half dominant half recessive? I think I might strip a man naked and torture him with the information i know tbh (reference)
Solidus is the name of state where a solid becomes a liquid ( or the oppsite I'm not too sure), solidus snake is an antagonist in mgs 2. He is made after solid and liquid snake, and has double aging issues so ages even faster than solid and liquid. He adopted a kid named Jack, who later became jack the ripper, and then raiden. Solidus is also known as george Sears, and was the president of the United States at one point. I tried my best to not spoil too much about who he is as a person and his motivations and stuff in this description. If he seems interesting feel free to play mgs 2 or watch a character analysis video
"So if he's not a clone, and he's not Big Boss, then who is he?" "Just a man who sold the world." Now I have the David Bowie song stuck in my head. Thanks 😂

With the exception of 5, evety single mgs is feature complete and stack full of content and attention to detail to the point people replay them decades after that were released and stlll find new things

1. Snake kills the boss and becomes big boss but it turns out the boss was an ally faking to be an enemy. The boss has a wish that is passed to naked snake the big boss but also ocelot is revealed to be the boss son (he pretended to be an enemy but was a triple agent)
2. snake was then cloned into 3 other snakes. Big boss gets his base blown up by cypher so he gets revenge
3. Solid snake, snakes clone, kills big boss (naked snake) and blows his base up, destroying a nuke machine called metal gear
4.Snake kills liquid snake, his brother who is naked snakes clone. He destroys a metal gear again
5. After this snake fights solidous snake who was the president, and then the ghost of liquid snak also the clone of snake, Then liquid snakes ghost comes back throigh ocelot gets defeated again
6. Liquid snake is back and wants big bosses body. He takes big boss body but then snake kills him.
Then the revelations happen. liquid snake actually died fighting solid snake and this entire time ocelot was pretending to be possed by liquid snakes conscience all with the goal of destroying the la li lu le lo, a secret society made originally by big boss but that split up into another society. But actually this entire time big boss was actually alive and it turns out that the big boss solid snake killed *see 2 for reference was actually a fake big boss that switched with big boss. Also the big boss body that liquid stole was actually solidous snake the clone of naked snake. Snake then kills naked snake through a virus planted in him during the events of *3 and finally destroys the secret society once snd for all, but before dying naked snake reveals one final thing:
TURNS OUT THEY MISSINTERPRETED WHAT THE BOSS ACTUALLY MEANT AND NONE OF THIS WAS NECESSARY IN THE FIRST PLACE. Everyone dies, and solid snake lives for 1 year before dying. After this his friend fights a buff us politician (yes this actually happened)
The chronological order of thense games is confusing as well. Metal Gear Solid 3SE, Metal Gear Solid 5 parts 1 and 2, Metal Gear 1 and 2, Metal Gear Solid 1, Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 4 and Metal Gear Rising
If you're confused don't worry it's more confusing one you actually play it lmao
Cool.
What about Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker?
@@aleksandergowienka7597 I knew I forgot one. Actually I forgot portable ops as well
Venom snake, he’s just, a demon already and a phantom of the past
Doktor, turn off my cringe inhibitors! But raiden, this is madness! Do it!
"But really his name is just David..."
Perfect 😙👌
The snakes aren't even confusing after you play the games and know the spoilers it's just the villains surrounding it that are bat shit insane
Makes perfect sense. I don't see a problem here.
Well I mean Solid does kill Venom in MG 1
After playing each game at least 3 times and just finished a 4 and half hr video explaining all of MGS history.... this is so true lol
Only one I didn’t understand is solidus and that’s because i have never heard of him before. As for the rest, I somehow understood all of it despite not having the MG lore downloaded into my brain.
Basically Solidus is just an evil former politician with robotic tentacles, nanomachine aging which kicked in earlier than Solid Snake and allegedly born before Solid and Liquid but that can be discussed, seeing he wa just the straight up clone made to replace him identically, but gene-fuckery caused him to be half dominant half recessive?
I think I might strip a man naked and torture him with the information i know tbh (reference)
Solidus is the name of state where a solid becomes a liquid ( or the oppsite I'm not too sure), solidus snake is an antagonist in mgs 2. He is made after solid and liquid snake, and has double aging issues so ages even faster than solid and liquid. He adopted a kid named Jack, who later became jack the ripper, and then raiden. Solidus is also known as george Sears, and was the president of the United States at one point. I tried my best to not spoil too much about who he is as a person and his motivations and stuff in this description. If he seems interesting feel free to play mgs 2 or watch a character analysis video
He's actually making it pretty simple to understand.
"So if he's not a clone, and he's not Big Boss, then who is he?"
"Just a man who sold the world."
Now I have the David Bowie song stuck in my head. Thanks 😂
And the fact they used the knock off Midge Ure cover in the game is masterfully meta!
@@EFFCtoocool dude its a cover not a knock-off
@@brodudeguy5843 Bro, my guy :) You are correct but I would imagine most would say it's a cover by a relative unknown, very in keeping with the real identity of the player character in MGSV
Man all this lore surely will keep you waiting, huh?...
Wow, you made it needlessl more complicated than it should have been.
I have this conversation, weekly.
0:38 well I mean Yes AND No
Snake killed Venom so he does have SOMETHING to do with Venom 🤷🏾♂️
He's just realized that so he write the correction when he spoke about Solid and Venom
0:54 or MSX
I’m actually glad someone could comprehensively explain this in under a minute. I would have a hard time explaining.
People say Kojima is a prodigy level writer and then go onto recite this convoluted dribble of a plot...
He was NEVER a good writer, and most of the series was co-wrote. What he IS good at is directing the actual development of the game. With the exception of 5, evety single mgs is feature complete and stack full of content and attention to detail to the point people replay them decades after that were released and stlll find new things
@@alshabib58495 was good but story
@@alshabib5849 What a thrill
Venom Snake is not the man who sold the world ,It's Naked Snake
Easy. Three words. Spies and robots.
And there is also Raiden, he is a cool naked guy and then becomes a cool cyborg ninja who is kinda naked.
The Boss - She IS THE BOSS
John, Big Boss, Ishamel, previously Naked Snake - The Boss' disciple
Punished Venom Snake, Ahab, V, The man who sold the world - Big Boss trusted combat medic, his stand in
"Sons" of Big Boss: Solid Snake, Liquid Snake, Solidus Snake
The Boss : Mother of Oceloat and master of Naked Snake
Big Boss : Original Snake, main protagonist of MGS3:Snake Eater
Solid Snake : Main protagonist of MSG, he is a clone of The Big Boss
Hideo Kojima : He's god, like Morgan Freeman, but asian
Correction: Venom Snake DID have something to do with Solid Snake, but that is also spoiler territory.
I love Venom. He's a man of depth, and well, there's Quiet...
I understood that completely.
When he said "He's just the man who sold the world", I got chills. That song and the game are so dope
I mean What a Thrill this Lore is..
It's So Supreme if you ask me
The plot itself is like 10 times more convoluted
Makes sense to me, currently playing as venom snake in mgs5
"Just a man who sold the world..." 😞❤️
"his name is just david", literally the entire lore in 5 words.
Such an epic story of world-rending events that all tie back to one man's mommy issues
Venom Snake = Ground Zeros Medic
God, I love this. Trying to explain the overall structure of mgs to someone who has never played it is so much fun xD
NANO MACHINES SON
Wait wrong one
You could’ve just said he is just a franchise male who gets the fame in being Rambo in anime style.
Don’t get him started on Raiders whole side story.
Just "a man who sold the world" EPIC
Phantom pain 😭
This is so dumbed down and yet so accurate and chaotic. I love Metal Gear.
I like how this is being recommended AFTER I just spent a whole afternoon trying to understand the whole Snake clan.
Seeing that big boss is an idea. They are both big boss.
"So then he's Big Boss"
"Well yes but actually no"
"Just a man who sold the world" ...nah he's body double
“No, that is NOT Solid Snake!”
