I was told to ask this comm about this.

Dec 28, 2006 16:25

I asked this over at a forum I'm on, and the second reply suggested I ask over here, since I am really curious about what could have possibly possesed Liquid to do this. So, I ask you...



Why isn't he [Liquid] wearing a shirt?!

This bugs me for no really good reason, like Naomi Hunter the so-called brown-skinned beauty, WTF. I mean... I don't mind that he doesn't wear a shirt, because damn that's a hot pixelated PS1-era chest. Mmm. *Fans self* But the game is set in Alaska. It's snowy out. There's rooms that you sit in to freeze a card key because they're in the middle of a permafrost layer and have no heating. Wouldn't a shirt make sense? >:

Oh well. Now I have to go destroy Metal Gear. Twice. Then have a manly shirtless fight on top of Metal Gear and then watch the Meryl ending because I got my brother to survive Ocelot's torure for me. :> Who wants to bet I don't like it as much as the Otacon ending because there's no real way to have awkwardly geeky jokes about 2001: A Space Oddesey with her? Also less slashbait, but whatever.

(All that is quoted from the forum post, btw.)

So. Why this bugs me, I don't know-- I'm not bugged by the fact that I've just started my third playthrough and Snake is now wearing a Bond, James Bondtux, or that the infinant ammo bandanna has 'infinity' embroiderd on it, or that they give me body armor when I reach the goddamn blast furnace. Okay, maybe the last one irritates me a teeny bit. >.> But I'll get over it. Maybe. But... Alaska minus shirt equals wtf. Why, Liquid, why?

Discuss, plz.

(And maybe discuss that Solidus is actually called by name post-credits after the second playthrough of MGS1. O_o Oh dear, I might have to like MGS2 even more now that I know he's not a total deus ex machina.)

(... And maybe discuss that Liquid is actually the 'superior' one, according to the same convo. O_o Hideo, you make my brain explode. You aren't supposed to throw in plot twists ten minutes after beating the game for the second time!)

2006, canon information etc
