I would like some sort of appearance from Les Enfants Terribles, especially from Liquid since he was only in one game. He's such a well-designed character, he deserves a second appearance to be a dick again.

Ocelot's always shit-stirring so it wouldn't surprise me if, say Big Boss and Kaz split up, we see him jumping between them, working both sides.

If Kojima were a genius, he wouldn't have had Big Boss even treated as a good guy anyway, especially in MGS4. And honestly, the Metal Gear series inserted controversial stuff all the time. Heck, this technically isn't even the first time Metal Gear had children being killed by the protagonist: Just shoot or punch a child in Metal Gear 2 and you'll see what I mean. Besides, the radio dramas also had Solid Snake having no qualms about killing children in one chapter. Heck, child soldiers have been frequently mentioned in the games themselves (Gray Fox (pre-retcon and post-retcon) and Raiden were all former child soldiers, and we even get a taste of what he experienced in the Make it Right trailers). There were references to human trafficking in Rising. Heck, Ghost Babel covered ethnic cleansing and several things that would have been very controversial even with adult audiences, never mind in a game explicitly geared towards kids. And killing kids is nothing new in gaming or even that controversial: Don't forget, Castlevania 64 had Malus being burned to death in the true ending. That didn't warrant any controversy, despite being much more graphically enhanced.

And regarding 90's comment about the LET, he already knows about them: Heck, the reason why he left the Patriots was precisely because of LET.
