I can't believe you used that pic for MG.
And TSWFFGBTS is about murdering hero figures so not sure where you were going with that.

I admired Big Boss so much when I was a kid. Truly a based man.

This. You should have picked BB.

Yah OP why you use that image? I mean, i like Rising, but its still kind of the black sheep tone wise.

Also, never got to much homoerotism from mgs, just people super comfortable with themselves. Id define MGS as being kind of a form of magical realism. There is a surface level appearance of groundedness, but it has a surreal feeling suffusing it.

Agreed. 4 was kind of messy, but I think it ended most of the characters really well. The boss was definitely one of my role models growing up. Giving yourself up for an ideal, even when it completely ruins you and what everyone thinks of you. Plato would be proud, she'd definitely pass the Ring of Gyges.

Gratuituous butt shots, ripped, buff men, Raiden running around naked in MGS2, and nut grabs in MGS3, how has Kojima gotten away with it?!?

Otto Skorzeny's memoir, probably an influence if only visually with the scars and eyepatch; did plenty of spook shit after the war, including terrorist type symposiums in Spain. Robert Duvall's character is a splice of him and von Stauffenberg in The Eagle Has Landed [Young Michael Caine Lead, Churchill Assassination attempt]

There was a group of a few Ivy League types 'advising' FDR called The Philosopers/Wisemen or something close to that affect. Anthony Sutton's Wallstreet & [Bolsheviks, Nazis, FDR] trilogy and Joseph Farrell's post-war Nazi diaspora research approximate something akin to that idea of transnational elite coordination. (Protocols of Zion are something the S3 AI might have written, for further context.)

Shalashaska (also a type of curved saber in middle east) -- Operation Typhoon histories for what Miller was advising for the British/Zero, Russo-Afghan stuff for Ocelot (9th Company film is kind of the Saving Private Ryan of that for Rus, but better)

Fiction for MGS is harder, maybe Barbusse's WWI novel for combat and surreal.

Because he’s not a prude.

>oh, that Big Boss

Oh, I finally got it!

The things They Carried. Has a good amount of that serialism and the confusion of war. Doesn’t have a set moral and instead just tries to describe experience.

I.... don’t know why I posted that

The Takeshi Kovacs trilogy

I'm more curious as to what Kojima's sources were or who advised him.

>>14767204
Quick rundown on this character? I've never played the games.

Solider betrayed my his country and played like a pawn rises above the nationalism usually instilled in the armed forces to create a PMC for Ex-soldiers without a home and uses this band of mercenaries to wage war against one of his ex-colleagues/friends who was instilled with the same values but goes about reaching the same goal by a different means, mainly through co-opting governments

The X Files and 1984 were an inspiration for the secret organizations in the story. Other things were taken from numerous movies and media like Mad Max, Terminator, and 007. He also said he read Coin Locker Babies and a novel called Gaspard in the Morning.
