Liquid sure rambled on a lot about Big Boss, his philosophies and the old days of war for someone he had never met. Though the idea he hadn't met him is a completely valid from how his speech was worded, I always assumed he had met the man myself personally. I don't see that as a retcon, but I could be missing something. I don't see this as Null 2.0.

If he was a kid at the time trying to kill him but failed, then became a POW as an adult whilst Snake infiltrated Outer Heaven and killed him, it would explain why he feels Snake "stole his chance" for revenge. I think the bigger retcon would be Big Boss meeting Solid Snake when he's a child.

We know Snake was pretty oblivious about his relationship with Big Boss through his life until MGS1 where Liquid explained LET to him, whereas Liquid doesn't have to be oblivious in this game which is one of the cool things about bringing him back and having him interact with Big Boss in my view. They can confront the elephant in the room in the past without contradicting anything.

If there's any retcon with Eli I suppose it is the fact that... I'm pretty sure that isn't the Middle East or England lol. Is it supposed to be Africa? Is he supposed to be leading an army of child soldiers? That sure as hell was never mentioned, but I suppose I could buy it with proper explanation. An addition to someone's backstory isn't always a bad thing.
