The reason this game isn't cringy is that the game doesn't take itself too serious It knows exactly when to be goofy and when to be serious, deep or edgy The balance is important and very hard to do imo
No its cuz those lines have the correct ammount of emotion in it Its cringy when the character for example only got cheated by their girlfriend and they go full stoic killer mode, every line they say would be cringy because they are emo-tional from a stupid reason, thats what edgy actually means In this example you know the lines have meaning and not just there to make the character look good, thats why they are not cringy
They already had the formula perfected in the MGS series in that it was mostly serious but it also had random completely ODD bits thrown in to give it some quirk. MGR kinda flips that formula on it's head, it's mostly quirky and 'batshit insane' but when it gets serious it does it bang on
That's something that used to be common place in media as a whole. Some of the best pieces of art have always been balanced, whether it's for kids, adults or all ages. Nothing has to be ALL serious or ALL goofy.
Because he is a politician attached to his ideals, after all, he does what he believes is right, from that point of view he is much better than any real politician
Well see, Armstrong is fictional and has no effect on the real world beyond being funny, bringing joy into peoples lives for being memorable and a well received antagonist, real world politicians aren’t fictional, the mark they leave on the world at large is very real If Armstrong was real, he’d be hated too
he's not wrong about the whole "cringey on paper but cool while in game" thing, because not only does the context for it's usage matter, but its execution as well you can have the coolest fight scene in your head or greatest storyline thought out, but if you're unable to properly write it or visualize it for others, it just falls flat

3:52 Just a reminder that the phrase "make america great again" was popularized by Ronald Reagan first, back in the 1980s, long before Trump used it. That is likely where they got that from.
@@Moloxer Look it up. One google search of "Reagan Make America great again". First search result is from the Smithsonian Institution. Maybe you should put in some effort before calling something BS.
The VAs did such a phenomenal job throughout the entire game. Individually the lines should be cringe, but the context, characters, and VA performances really bring it all together. The game is not only memeable, but legitimately memorable because of how wacky but well-executed the characters are.
I mean, hard disagree. The only really good performance in the game is Armstrong. Everyone else ranges from bad to okay. Raiden especially has some really terrible line reads.
Because Armstrong didn't want to subjugate the weak, he wanted them to become strong. Raiden is the perfect person who encapsulates that vision, someone who was a vulnerable orphan, one that struggled and thrived.
@@QuintBlitz The main problem between Raiden and Armstrong was that they had different views on what they thought weak was. Raiden viewed the weak as the vulnerable and downtrodden in society. Armstrong viewed the weak as people who were weak of character and constitution. The people that couldn't control their baser urges and so let their lives be dictated by them. I think Riaden's view was more well intentioned but naiive. Armstrong's view was more logically sound but was too extreme. I think if they somehow could have met in the middle things would have turned out so different but that wouldn't have been as exciting to see.

@@justan0therpleb599basically he’s trying to turn America, and most likely eventually the world, into a societal state where anyone with lots of money or physical strength can wage wars whenever and against whoever and have essentially zero consequences.

Kind of on brand when you think about it, especially in the context of mgs. Ideas and concepts being boiled down and regriuated while the original meaning gets lost in translation
@@PokeBattlerJaze Ironic, but you're right. We are so overwhelmed by internet spewing funny images with infinite permutations, that the concept o passing ideas and philosophies to other people, sounds like entirely different thing, while it's the same, just undiluted. However I guess it's easier to influence others with simple, easy to relate image, rather than with a complex thought. Even this game has so many "memes" that in its simplicity forces you to think about a bigger picture while still being funny and captivating.
To be fair, memetics is mostly unheard of and quite irrelevant to the modern zeitgeist. The area of study was able to identify and define memes, but had little to no practical application, and as such is just one avenue of research largely forgotten by time. The meaning of meme in memetics doesn't really matter in a modern context, especially in comparison to the huge influence of internet memes.
*Me stifling laughter when terminally online Charlie doesnt know the "Make America Great Again" slogan wasnt invented by Trump or Armstrong but Reagan*
@TP-pq9xx Simply an issue with US presidents being stupidly old. But good luck getting the constitution amended to allow for 30 year old Presidents... or to forbid convicted criminals from running for office.
@TP-pq9xx "Reagan was also the first senile President" But the difference is he only became senile after he was president and even if he had Alzheimer's during, he wasn't in office long enough for it to really have an effect on his decision making.
Raiden is Armstrong's dream come true. Steven was willing to turn the world into amoral borg'd up psychoes just so they wouldn't be compliant, conforming and fearful indistinguishable masses. But along to the big picture came a man who endured, and grew, through more than all of the rest of his allies - and he didn't lose his morals. Their misunderstanding was what they considered the Weak. On retrospect, it comes as no surprise that the man who grew up in the comparably safe, developed and civilized modern western world thinks weakness is an indicator of a lack of strength as a trait of character found in the like of limp-dick lawyers and chicken-shit bureaucrats, and that the Liberian unwilling child soldier considers weakness to be the indicator of innocence, as strength to his eyes being what you ensuring personal safety with - a lack of it resulting in being preyed on by anyone who wants what you have enough to take it by force.
every line in this game hits because every character says them with absolute conviction. There's no tongue in cheek "look how cool this guy is" no they 100% believe every word they say and deliver it with absolute seriousness
i dont know why you make this 2 years after the time that the game was in its popularity peak but damn watching this really took me back to 2022, i wish the game got randomly revived again (it wont)
Correct me if I’m wrong, but I’m pretty sure Armstrong is voiced by Alastair Duncan, who also voices Celebrimbor (from the middle earth games) and Mimir (From God of War)
Armstrong was such a hype surprise when I first played this game. XD I thought he would be like most of the politicians in Metal Gear, a figure head that can't really back up their talk. But not only could Armstrong talk the talk (As nonsense as it was) but he could also, mostly certainly, walk the walk. Lol
Please don't misintrept this statement as hostile, but to hopefully put things into perspective, there are billions of things that you yourself don't know which would garner the exact same reaction that you have to people not knowing what is, in the grand span of history, a fraction of a blip.
