There was barely anything left unrevealed. And this is why I make it a point to avoid any trailers after the first two or so that have been shown for any game I might be interested in. At least in that regard, MGR was a pretty big surprise for me. Heck I didn't even know about Bladewolf and the Winds of Destruction except for Sundowner and Sam in the "Make it Right" trailer, so needless to say I actually had a fun experience with all the new slew of characters. That said, I personally wouldn't be too keen if Skull Face turned out to be Mantis's father unless they give a good enough portrayal in regards to his connection to Big Boss as an antagonist. Because if they bring him in out of novelty of having Psycho Mantis and his dad around and leave it at that, I'd much rather have a new character that forges their own connection with Big Boss. Luckily for me, despite my interest with Revengeance (and interest in games usually leads to me obsessively watching every possible trailer available), I actually didn't watch the trailers for MGRR either so it was a relatively new experience for me.

And I can see where you're coming from. Connecting all these characters too much would be ridiculous in a way.

But I think it might be good to develop the backstory of some of the most beloved villainous characters in the franchise, like Liquid, Decoy Octopus and Psycho Mantis.
