very cool you have no idea how helpful this is to new mgs fans,,, the community needs videos like these thank you!!

Don't make fun of my mic or my pronunciations plz

Calling Big Boss Naked Snake in refrence to any event after operation snake eater feels wrong to me. Because well.. lets be real, Naked Snake died with The Boss at the end of his mission. 😭 I've 100%'ed and replayed it hundreds of times at this point and still plan to play through it again and again. I love the whole metal gear series, even bought a whole ps3 solely to play MGS4 😂

Finally some mgs content that goes straight to the point!!!

Solid Snake is also in Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2. You left those out.

I think you could consider Raiden as a Snake at least up until he "becomes his own person" so to speak. He spends most of the game trying to be like snake and even has the code name at the beginning. He's supposed to be like a memetic copy of Snake rather than a genetic copy like most of the others except Venom. While the entire game of MGS2 is about him turning into his own person rather than a copy, the scene where he gets the sword has always been where I see him go from Snake clone to Raiden (which funny enough is filling the cyborg ninja role). If Venom counts I think Raiden should count as well at least to an extent.

You did an amazing job explaining all the Snakes..very clear and concise, to where anyone, including new would be able to understand..great job man!👏🏻

Even aside from the obvious physical differences between Venom and BB, I knew he wasn’t Naked Snake when it was said that he needed a translator for Russian. MGS3- Sokolov said “Your Russian is SUPERB!” Dead giveaway

Good video to show my few non mgs playing friends for Snake references, great work boss

Thanks for your contribution to the MGS fanbase with this short and understandable explanation! gonna send this to my friend that's thinking about getting into the series good video ^^

Thank you for making this video! I always support metal gear videos on KZfaq, so I'm going to share yours. Hopefully you gain some viewers and make more content! Looking forward to it 😀

Well done 👏 A good short summary for new comers

Great video! This world gets very complicated and I struggle with explanation videos because they’re 15 minutes long with all kinds of information that’s not important and bad jokes. Keep posting great content!

I already knew about all the snakes but I needed a little refresh and this video was perfect. Keep going man

Thank you so much for the help. Your explanation was quick and easy to understand

as someone just now getting into metal gear this was by far the best explanation i’ve been given, thank you!

Thanks, a great video, simple and easy to understands all the snakes :)

As a newcomer to the series i wanted to thank you because this was really helpful

I like how Solidus Snake was US President, yet that is a minor plot point of his story.

This was very educational.

I've HAD it with these monkey fightin' snakes on this monday to friday plane!

I am new and heavily intrigued by MG franchise. I have played MGS Ground zeroes and TPP , excited to play Snake eater remake on pc. Planning to buy PS5 just to play previous MGS titles. Found this video very helpful!

Can't believe that you didn't mention the MSX games, Metal Gear (1987) and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake. Big Boss appears as the main antagonist of the very first games, in fact MGS3 and other MGS games starting Big Boss are an explanation on how he became the main villain of these two games. The ending of MGSV also reveals that Venom Snake was the one who got killed by Solid Snake at the end of MG1. Solid started as a rookie in MG1. Seriously, MGS fans should stop ignoring these two games.

Thank you it gets very confusing with all of them so this helps very much

Metal Gear lore? What a thrill 😁

I've seen this comment in other MGS related video so I type it here! CTTO btw. Naked Snake (Big Boss): The Man who sold the world. Venom Snake: The Man who fooled the world. Solid Snake: The Man who saved the world. Solidus Snake: The Man who fought the world. Liquid Snake: The Man who defied the world.

Great video!

All my life I didn't know who's who but this makes it so much easier to understand

This is the best explanation ever. Tha k you

Appreciate it ❤

thank you my man

Thank you

great viseo buddy!

Venom Snake the best one

John or Jack for short is hilarious to me. I don't know why like as nicknames go there is no efficiency in it

Nice

great video

Many thankd

subbed, looks like quality content keep it up brother

I love this guy

This is a really good explanation video But I expected you would also include the original 2 metal gear games

Good job

great video 👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👌🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿

You forgot Solid snake is protagonist of MSX games as well.

The names that appear are the Actor that voices that Snake and does the motion capture for them, not their names.

Which is the most fine looking snake?

Naked snake or big boss is also in metal gear 2.

The Snakes sitcom

U missed a few! Cool video man

Not bad. Just missing the NES and some of the portable games.

Idk Why i decided to watch this if I already know all Snakes, tho this was an interesting video.

Hope everything goes well

Did you exclude the 8-Bit games? Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, because both Solid Snake and Big Boss were in those games.

No Raiden? *Insert no bitches meme*

Describing venom snake as a “fake” isn’t accurate. Both him and naked snake both contributed to the big boss legend so in that sense, hes just as much big boss as naked snake (naked snake says this himself in the cassette where he tells him the truth)…. This seems to be a common habit the mgs community has when labeling venom either as “fake” or not the “real” big boss.

Snake? Snakeeeee!!

Wasn't big boss also in portable ops?

discord.com/invite/NwU24FB32d I made a new lil' discord server. Not a ton of people, but let's build it up

What a nice family Grandma: the boss-grandpa: the sorrow Father and Uncle: big boss and ocelot Children: david, george and Eli

Thx

So many snakes....

Hoy, wasn't raiden called snake before receiving the raiden codename? Or am i remembering it wrong?

Solid Snake was in the original Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2 (Not to be confused with Metal Gear Solid).

Jack is as short as John is long. Just thinking of that is a strange thing but true to say the least, back in nam especially it was common but aye, the weird world we live in, eh?? 🤣🤣🤣

You forgot the original metal gear games when solid snake kills big boss twice

No mention on the original mg games?

the la-li-lu-le-lo.

Very nice video my friend! Have a sub and an upvote!

Actually you play as Solid Snake in Metal Gear and Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, and in them you first see Venom Snake and Big Boss

Yes because Jack is a shorter way of saying John....

hey sorry to point this out but Solid snakes first appearance was in Metal Gear for the MSX 2, not mgs1

Raiden was called Snake for a brief moment, not sure if this counts

I don’t think Naked snakes name is actually John, just Jack. The reason he told ocelot that his name is John is so that he doesn’t reveal his real name.

You really made me confuse 🤪

I think VS does know some languages other than English. Yeah the Sharpnel Thing is Quite Believable But There is an instance where U can see him speaking other languages. For example, Try Playing The Mission "White Mamba" without extracting the Kikongo Interpretator. You will see VS speaking Kikongo To Eli.

1:56 "old snake is liquid snake"? That's not true at all

Youre pretty good

Venom Snake was my favourite. He deserves a closure in a proper new mgs game.

Technically Raiden is also a snake, his original code name being snake

no acid snake?

You missed one: White Snake aka The Boss

Raiden would be lightning snake

I wonder what people do with the spare time that they have saying Jack instead of John. 😂

Having 5 ppl in a video game series that look alike is ridiculous lol venom just put it over the top

U forgot mg1 and mg2 for solid snake yes the Game boy color games are part of solid snake story

I think Metal Gear has the most amazing, yet the most convoluted story I’ve ever seen in entertainment. Also we need an MGS4 remake asap, I’m tryna talk to Drebin and the monkey again 😅

also gotta mention...solid snake is the main protagonist for metal gear and metal gear 2 solid snake Venom snake was Brain washed into thinking he was the real big boss but also got plastic surgery to physically look like big boss too solidus is slightly younger than liquid and solid also his accelerated aging is slightly higher than the twin snakes

Couple of corrections: -Solid, Naked and Venom also appear in Metal Gears 1 and 2, the very first entries in the series, which aren't mentioned here. Solid Snake was the original main hero of the series, infiltrating the enemy fortress Outer Heaven and destroying the ultimate weapon, Metal Gear TX-55 and killing Big Boss' Phantom (Venom Snake) in a final boss fight. He then goes on to end up "killing" the real Big Boss in Metal Gear 2 with nothing but a makeshift flamethrower (Venom died far more honourably). -Big Boss also serves as the main character of Portable Ops, which used to be canon until Kojima made his own portable entry Peace Walker, which basically replaced it in the canon. -Technically, it's wrong to call Big Boss "Naked Snake" as, well... Snake was Eaten. The Boss (and co.) chewed his naivete and innocence out over two gruelling missions (Virtuous Mission and Operation Snake Eater). However, Big Boss still preferred to be called "Snake" due to his inner shame and guilt over the title in Portable Ops (non-canon), Peace Walker and Solid 5: Ground Zeroes. By Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, Metal Gear, and Metal Gear 2, he was more than willing to refer to himself by his title. -Also, there are fans like "Afterlife Games" who insist that Big Boss was the true hero of the series and that he did nothing wrong but... He still went in hiding, created his own phantom doppelganger, raised his resources to get revenge on Zero and stage several uprisings, had a hand in the creation of TWO Metal Gears and yeah he definitely had to be put down by Solid Snake. I'll never understand fans of Solid 5 at all.

Ac!d Snake?

i love you

Bro what is that storyline

Wtf you mean they’re not the same person?

Yo mamma

medic snack
