Geez, what a depressing read. It doesn't matter that Venom Snake's not the original Big Boss. The struggles, hardships, battles, victories and losses in Phantom Pain all belong to Venom Snake and Diamond Dogs. Placing MSF on such a high pedestal, when they're practically the same organization in terms of motives and ideology, seems like a really nonsensical position to take. Maybe the twist wasn't entirely necessary, but it barely affects plot of the series at all. SPOILER: Big Boss has been a manipulative warmonger since 1990's MG2. This comes off as one of those foolish "Big Boss is the REAL hero of the story" arguments, that some sections of the fanbase have promoted since MGS3.
