Riches to Rage: The Story of Colonel Volgin

Рет қаралды 22,258

Volgin is one of the most memorable parts of Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. From his electrokinesis to the unrelenting cruelty he displays throughout the story. Then his return to the series again in Phantom Pain was a decision to reinforce his role in Snake Eater even more.

I find it pretty interesting that the only reason Venom was spared from Volgin's wrath was because he didn't have those blue eyes he hated so much

If only Skull Face took notes of this. Then we wouldn't have that awkward Jeep ride where he laid out his grand plans to the wrong guy.

And Volgin might’ve grabbed his balls in one of the fights a little realizing it wasn’t snake

I like how MGS3 has a villain that you’re not entirely sure you want to fight with The Boss, and also has Volgin who’s just a sadistic lunatic you can’t wait to finish off.

@samuelantoniocastillomeza5034 Ай бұрын

I like how Volgin is just plain evil and all around a monster. That adds contrast to many of the other antagonists and also makes very satisfying for his 2 downfalls.

@channel45853 Ай бұрын

and after all that, he falls to Big Boss's double, in his last moments, learning that he had been majorly douped

It’s ironic that his name is derived from the Volga River; since especially during his Man on Fire phase he is a lot more susceptible to water.

I know everyone says Volgin knew Venom wasn't who he was because of the eyes. I say we know Volgin has a much more effective way of finding out how much of a handful someone is.

The man knows his crotches, but considering how he became a Fire-Monster-Man... thing. God, that just made me imagine during the encounters with the Man on Fire what if he had an instant kill move where charges at you, and if he grabs you, he grabs Venom’s crotch

Honestly I have thought that primary inspiration for Volgin was Bison from STREET FIGHTER In both cases they are "supervillain" dictator type antagonist, that has massive military power, but also skilled in supernatural psychic power. Especially considering that his father 01:07 looks nearly identical to Bison

Kind of weird Metal Gear never did much with the whole superpowers angle. Between Volgin's Electricity manipulation, the Sorrow's Telepathy and Psycho Mantis's telekinesis you'd figure we'd get more soldiers with insane powers rather than just fancy tech.

THANK YOU for mentioning that volgin genuinely cares about raikov! it’s one of his few redeeming / humanising character traits and people overlook it so much when it really adds a more realistic aspect to his character - that even people who seem irredeemably evil are still human. those two genuinely care about each other (raikov is pissed at snake in portable ops for killing volgin) and it’s their only positive traits lmao

@syrentide 3 күн бұрын

unlikely, especially when you consider the difference between how he treats tatyana / eva and raikov. tatyana is covered in scars, but raikov isn’t; he commands tatyana, but he waits for raikov; he doesn’t care for tatyana’s wellbeing (literally not caring that ocelot wanted to try and kill her, saying “do as you like”), but he’s violently defensive of raikov ("i will make him pay for hurting ivan”, “you will pay for what you did to ivan” / “i will avenge ivan”) plus, the whole interaction if you wear the raikov mask during his boss battle!

@enenra6417 I will say I never got that impression maybe it's confirmed in a codec but from my perspective he's gay and tortured Eva for his sick pleasure since hurting her would motivate sokolov.

@enenra6417 Ай бұрын

@blindjustice5695 nah Eva wasn't messing around with the boss it seems that the boss saw her more as a kindred spirit due to their similar backgrounds. And after the torture scene Volgin tells Eva to meet him in his room even after he just 'killed' Sokolov. Also Sokolov says that Tatyana was Volgin's lover
