Metal Gear Solid is a story about Adamska "Ocelot" Shalashaska trying to manipulate the world into getting rid of manipulation with side characters Snake, Snake, Snake, Snake, Snake, and Jack.

By the end of MGS4 liquid leaves ocelots body through battle with solid snake and he explains the whole plan. He wanted to use the system against itself. He realizes that power is a flat hierarchy and there will always be a dominant and submissive force. Ocelot decides its best to reset the world and let us decide again. He gave people a second chance.

I don't think he can be considered a hero by any measure. He backstabs and murders lots of people, he loves torture for the sake of it and he wants to bring the world into a constant state of warfare because that's what Big Boss wanted.

@miki49 Жыл бұрын

@@TheIrland09 Not quite. He respected Big Boss, and looked at him as a rival in the sibling sense as they “shared” the same mother (The Boss being Ocelot’s actual mother as well as Naked Snake’s figurative mother), but he wasn’t doing Big Boss’ will, he was doing The Boss’ will. What actually happened: Ocelot worked for the Patriots as a triple agent to take down the Patriots to allow all to live and let live like the Boss wanted, not to create a nation of soldiers without sovereignty, like Big Boss wanted. I agree that he did a lot of questionable things to get there, but that’s where the moral grey of the series shows itself here, as many would agree that some sacrifices would be worth making for the protection of the world/vast majority. People often misinterpret Ocelot’s feelings towards Big Boss. He’s not his disciple, his minion, his fan, or his drone. Again, Big Boss is more of an older sibling who he respects and wants to be better than, and succeeds (as he actually understood the Boss’ will and gave his life to be the unsung hero who achieved it).

I view him as the hero of the story only loyal to big boss because he is the closest thing to having The Boss (his mother) in his life. Big Boss is the closest thing he has to a family and ocelot views him as his brother because The Boss raised Big Boss. so he risks it all for him. In the end I feel like all of his betrayal was for the loyalty of his family and their legacy.

@joshjeffers325 2 жыл бұрын

Fully agree. The ultimate question in the series is what is a soldier loyal too? Duty? Your nation? Yourself? Turns out it’s love and friends. Ocelot loved snake like family. He took over the entire world because he loved his friend. A soldier loyal to the people closest to him.

I feel like MGS4's explanation of Ocelot brainwashin' himself was such a waste. Once it was revealed that The Sorrow was Ocelot's dad, it would have made sense that Ocelot may have developed some sort of ability to contact the dead, and Liquid attached to Ocelot's psyche easier 'cause of the arm. In retrospect, most of the story of MGS4 was wasted potential really. There were some great scenes, but the overall direction isn't as tip top as the lore before it. Damn you, fan service!

Ocelot complied with the Patriots for so long in order to pull all the right strings to lead Solid and his crew to EVERYTHING they needed to end the Patriots rule..

The reason Ocelot killed the real Donald Anderson is because of the fact that he knew his real identity as one of the founding members of the Patriots. The Patriots were not Ocelot’s “masters”.. He is/was one.. And given the fact that he in a sense went on to raise Liquid, I don’t think he wanted Liquid to know that he in fact was the very group of people he was going after.. knowing that the real big boss wasn’t dead.. therefore Ocelot knew the entire time they’d never get the real remains of Big Boss..
