All I can tell you is that the way Chico was dealt with for The Phantom Pain was total garbage.

SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT (why are you at a wiki if you don't want to see spoilers?)

Chico being killed off in the chopper, effectively off-screen, really bugged me. Prior to the revelations that Paz in TPP was a hallucination, I was livid that they killed Chico off without so much as a death scene, whereas Paz who demonstrably exploded was good as new.

Of course then I learned that Paz was in fact, not actually alive. In a way I'm angry still, because what was the point of Ground Zeroes if both of them just died anyway? All part of Kojima's "phantom pain" I suppose, like not including the end of the game for example.
