Get's captured, blabs, gets rescued (Peacewalker). Get's captured because he's a dumbass, get's tortured, probably has sex with Paz, blabs, get's crippled, get's rescued, [dies]. Hey, Peach doesn't blab at all. She gets captured and rescued, yes, but she doesn't blab at all. Nor does she even have sex at all, and I don't recall her getting crippled anyhow. I think the only time she actually DOES have a similarity to Chico besides capture and rescue stuff is that she did die at least once (and ironically NOT from being captured by Bowser. In fact, Bowser was allied with her and Mario at the time. I'm referring to when Dimentio temporarily killed them in Super Paper Mario).

And for the record, we're not even sure if Chico's dead yet or not.

That flashback theory makes sense. But if Kojima goes all Fight Club on us, I can't express how disappointed I will be. That's such a lame cop out, and this coming from a guy who loves post-moderist films.

Yeah, agreed, not to mention the Fight Club route would generate a lot of plotholes regarding Ground Zeroes (for example, how can Big Boss torture Chico and be in front of him if Big Boss was several miles away at Mother Base with at least one person to vouch for him [ie, Miller]? Even for a legendary soldier like him, that's impossible. And that's not taking into account the fact that Chico and Paz witnessed Skull Face.).
