Yeah, MG2 Big Boss was so honorable and heroic, amiright... Who said anything about him being a hero in MG2? I just said that's not the right way for him to become a villain. I never said he wasn't a villain. He's an anti-villain at best. Think Magneto.

Again, if they really wanted to make him a pure villain, not anti-villain, but standard, irredeemable evil type of villain, they should have omitted Kyle Schneider or at least rewrite his speech making clear he hated Big Boss because he killed his resistance after NATO and only joined to sow discord from within. Again, Albert Wesker is the kind of villain you should look to, not a single good bone in his body. Yeah, I've seen the X-Men movies and played the Resident Evil console games that feature Albert Wesker. As for Big Boss, he did try to kill his own son and became war wacky as Robocop 3 would say. He did redeem himself in MGS4 though. Yeah, though I personally felt that they didn't do a good job on Big Boss's villainy or Solid Snake's heroism in any of the games save for maybe MG1 (many times in the games, Solid Snake felt more like a villain than an actual good guy, it doesn't help that Kojima for whatever reason ruined his happy ending in MG2 by effectively turning Solid Snake into a psychopath who revels in killing people based on testimonies by not only his enemies, but even his friends.). If you're going to make a villain or a hero, best do clear-cut. I dislike ambiguity, really, not to mention we quite frankly have already got too many mediums where heroes are bad guys and villains are good guys and leaves more confusion anyways. Darth Vader was also an anti-villain, yet at least the Star Wars franchise both pre-and post-Disney takeover made clear he was evil without mucking it up by having him do heroic things as Vader until he saved Luke from Palpatine.
