 <html>No, but seriously, playing through the entire series again after having (once again) beaten Metal Gear Solid V is making me appreciate the series’ side characters a lot more. It’s not ACTUALLY a series about Big Boss and his sons. It’s a series about Big Boss’s legacy and the people who were affected by it. In Metal Gear Solid, Snake works with Hal “Otacon” Emmerich. Thirty years earlier, in Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker, Naked Snake works with his father, Huey, and they’re largely identical in most ways, so identical that one has to wonder for a minute if Snake was the only subject in the Patriots’ cloning program. But if you played MGS2, you already know they &lt;i&gt;/aren’t/&lt;/i&gt; the same because Huey goes nuts and drowns himself and tries to drown his stepdaughter in a vengeful murder-suicide after he catches his second wife molesting Hal. “Revenge” is explored in MGS5, where we learn that Hal &amp;amp; Huey are pretty much only identical in appearance.</html>
