The prisoner they're searching for is at the top of the canyon. Get that prisoner first because they'll kill him when they catch him.

Yep. Like a combination of Zazu and Marvin the Robot. He's been wiping these guys metaphorical bums for years and he's just stopped giving a shit.

I enjoyed how Otacon wound up being the exact opposite of his dad. Takes responsibility for his actions... doesn't hide behind being "just a a scientist"
This, my friend, is the power of japanese anime.

I also loved how the fact that i set off 40 alarms, had Quiet knock half the base asleep, and then proceeded to take a tank halfway up the camp and just wrecking shit had no effect on either Skullface or the XOF. Imagine if you drew the straw for guarding the first two sections of that fort that day, you knew you were going to get fucked up just so Skullface could have an intimate monologue with the fake big boss.
This may sound strange, but Huey actually reminds me a bit of Walter White from Breaking Bad, insofar as his "art" feeds into his ego and he doesn't care if he hurts people along the way. The compulsive lies and constant betrayals just enable him to keep making WMDs.
Not saying he's Breaking Bad levels of brilliance, but I couldn't help but notice the similarity.

How does Skull Face inspire such loyalty in his troops?
I thought he had that Gene charisma going on for a sec in mission 30, but nope. He's just a domino masked dude who tortures children and gets crushed by pillars. One XOF soldier abandoned him, one, and that was when the Metal Gear he thought was on his side crushed the dude next to him.

Didn't they insinuate that the troops didn't know skull face went rogue at some point? Just following orders from the top I guess.
Great, now I see Eli as Jesse Pinkman.
"And this is how you repair Sahelanthropus."
"Yeah, Science, bitch!"
"Come fight me, Snake! Bitch!"
I'd say good insurance and dental health care.
Actually, why didn't gave he himself parasite powers? He had no trouble given them to Quiet.

Benefits and 401K.
The hospital scene is so horrifying that I can't begin to make sense of XOF as people. It doesn't surprise me they'd follow a sicko like Skull Face.
I get chills when the one XOF troop drags away the patient who was grabbing your leg. The way he screams as he's dragged off to his death... Fuck XOF, man.
Haha, I love this

You know what this reminds me of? How turning the water back on to the village spreads the parasites and how the Diamond Dogs are not affected by this revelation one bit.
It could have been a cool scene with realizing Skull Face has been playing you like a damn fiddle. But it turns out he didn't expect you to do it, doing it made no practical difference, and that was pretty much the only time anything like this happened.
But surely you'd ask questions when Skull Face orders you to put a bomb in the vagina of a girl that looks convincingly 16 years old.
"Don't worry about it, it's all part of the Major's plan".
Although Neiteio brings up a good point with the hospital massacre. I'll assume the parasites-who-do-what-they're-told were involved.

I think this scene from the trailers is where we would have seem BB's reaction to what went down at the Oil facility. Kaz just tells you that they had to burn entire villages to stop the spread of infection over the codec in the final game.
Just as effective I guess :\
Maybe he didn't notice his super-sexy sniper Skulls were missing because they're invisible most of the time anyways

The way a guard talks about them in GZ, I'm going to go with them all being kept alive by parasitomachines.
How bothered was Liquid Ocelot when we were wiping out the Frogs in MGS4?
They are just tools to them.
XOF seem like the kind of "professionals" who sleep well at night no matter what they do
I'm not a vengeful person, but it was satisfying seeing the Man on Fire kick their ass.

This only happens in the middle of a Code Talker tape where Kaz seems rightfully upset about it but Incredibly Calm and Level Headed Ocelot and Code Talker are all "well we couldn't have known, no blame on us, oh well."
Code Talker goes 'yup, this was no one's fault. certainly not our fault, or in particular, not the fault of the guy who has started signing my paychecks. nooope'.
You know what would have been cool to see?
A scene you could stumble on of Ocelot talking to the AI pod.
You don't have to confirm that he knows but maybe have the dude talk to the cyber ghost of his dead mother.
But nope, I guess Eli shouting stuff from MGS1 is easier fan service.

Soldiers do a lot of fucked up things IRL, this is hardly surprising.
It's like the old saying: Don't bite the hand that feeds you delicious chemical burgers

Quiet was a goon and nearly dead. The parasites would either work or finish her off.
Skullface had no reason to drink the green goo because the process isn't guaranteed to leave the host alive, as we've seen in the hospital.

There will probably be more... for only 2000 Mother Base Coins!
Yeah, the parasite powered people look fucked up. They constantly have seizures and behave awkwardly. And if the parasite mutates, it's zombie time. Quiet lucked out mostly, except for the part where she had the english strain parasites too.
Code Talker is just one ballsy mofo, Skull Face was probably waiting until the kinks on the parasite technology were worked out.

Yeah, XOF is no better than the sick fucks who performed vivisection experiments in Japan during WW2, etc. Soldiers have raped people, made them eat their own feces, etc. If you're in the business of doing bad things, like Skull Face, I imagine your employees aren't much better. Everyone in XOF is probably a psychopath that enjoys being able to murder without legal repercussion.
But for 9 years, not for a country but for a domino mask wearing clown?

Hitler was a goofy lil' man with a funny-looking mustache.
Skully's fashion sense probably didn't undermine their warped sense of patriotism, which itself was probably a way for them to rationalize guilty pleasures.
Just speculation on my part, but I think XOF is fuuuuuuuuucked uuuuuuuuup.

We have Skull Face now. That's all that matters.
Are you a secret super spy on a deadly mission? Do you find that hiding dead bodies in lockers or mounds of grass is tedious busywork? For a nominal fee we'll send our best agent to ghost yours and clean up the mess he leaves behind. Skull Face is a dedicated professional; an invisible ghost with a skull for a face. He'll hide your bodies, bag and tag your Cobra Unit remains and wake your sleepy agents in the field. OSP (On-Site Procurement)? No problem. We've got it covered. We'll happily fly our Skull Face into the combat zone and strategically place weapons and items for your agent to procure. For more information contact Major Zero on 555-7357 for a quote.

Pretty much.

I mean, they have to have tit parasites, right? Metal Gear Solid 4 uses Naomi's bra as a plot point, but
So clearly she has an invisible bra made of parasites
If only every supervillian had some fashion sense.
Ah, boob parasites. The best kind.
I remember how Code Talker said the first generation of boob parasites only compelled the host to wear wet T-shirts, but as they evolved the host started shedding clothes and rolling around provocatively in the water instead.
The boob parasites also emit electromagnetic waves that compel cameras to zoom in on the host's wet, veiny, jiggling fun-bags.
I had repressed memories of this character. Y u do dis to me.I mean, they have to have tit parasites, right? Metal Gear Solid 4 uses Naomi's bra as a plot point, but

Someone really needs to remake Snake vs Monkey but include an elusive skull face instead of the apes.
