The fact that Kiefer Sutherland was introduced as 'Snake' only is already mysterious... They never confirmed that Kiefer Sutherland will be the voice for BIG BOSS, and this alone makes you doubt whether or not he will actually be the real big boss... Why weren't they specific in the Konami Pre-E3 show (calling him just Snake)? Don't forget that there are 4 Snakes in the MGS universe, and at the start of MGS2 Raiden was also codenamed Snake.

Python himself said that there was nothing more to add on the turning-on (eye-patch) animation unless it is featured again in upcoming trailers/gameplay videos, he already showed what he noticed and couldn't show more, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. But I doubt it's just a leaning animation... You can clearly see that he was already next to the wall when he lifts his hand towards his face, but that's a matter of opinions now. :)

I don't blame him for analyzing every little detail because Kojima is known for his mind tricks and we can never know for sure what's happening unless revealed in other trailers and in the final game. And again, I don't blame him for creating a reply video since Yong tried to ridicule him and some of his theories and Yong was mocked by his own viewers with some of his own reasons, so it was a fair reply by the 2 brothers.

Also, I really can't understand how someone who pretends to be such an avid MGS fan like Yong tries to debunk a theory when he doesn't know how to pronounce Frank Jaeger, saying Jay-ger... And this was noted by his own viewers, but whatever. :P

Anyway, I respect Python's theory and your opinion as well.

It's just a matter of time now before we know the truth. :) I'm sorry, but now you are just being ignorant. It's been long explained why David Hayter was dropped and why we have Kiefer Sutherland now, it's also been confirmed that he will voice Snake/Big Boss in both Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain. As I said before, it is a general theme that the player character is called Snake and it is no surprise that we're again playing as Snake rather then Big Boss but even then it is still Big Boss.

And you really need to look closer to the animations during that scene, he is holding onto the wall, he's not leaning onto it. It's a common action to rest a hand against the wall you are hiding behind, it's really nothing else.

As for YongYea, he did not at all try to ridicule Python, he simply brought in his own theory about it on request of his viewers, some did not agree with it but that is purely because you cannot please everyone. Not to mention that is is completely common for MGS fans to theorize and debunk theories, go to any MGS related forum, it's a daily thing. Also, really? You're judging his credibility just because he mispronounced Jaeger, which isn't even an English name to start with? That's just ignorance.

I want to try to respect you for your opinions, but when you're going to be ignorant over clear reasons about voice actors and credibility over someone mispronouncing a name..I'm sorry, but I can't.
