PythonSelkan keep refering to Raiden, but you can clearly see he is not Snak from the begginign as you can see his blond hair under the mask, and almost immedeately change his codename from snake to Raiden and show you glimpes of the real Solid Snake. You basially know you are not playing as Snake since the very beggining.

But what I do find funny is how they state that they are true analysts yet when someone points out a whole in their theory their response is usually something like "no you are stupid, we are awesome" just check their counter videos against YongYea.

And when the game itself disproves them (how they said Big Boss ing Ground Zeroes was voiced by Hayter) they simply drop and don't even mention it. So I just want to see how they will react once the game is released. Yup! And in MGS2 the switch from Snake to Raiden was done, not because it was a shocking plot twist and nothing else, but for the story purposes. We were given an alternative view to Solid Snake and we got to play as a character who actually had real human feelings. It was a great move in terms of storytelling. Playing as Big Boss' body double in a game that's supposed to show us Big Boss' transition from hero to anti-hero, would be as pointless as playing as Solid Snake's body double in MGS4, a game that's supposed to show us the final chapter of Solid Snake's life. It would be absolutely f*cking terrible storytelling. So unless Kojima has lost his mind or really doesn't give a shit anymore, the theory ain't gonna be correct.

That said, PythonSelkan will probably never mention the theory again after the game is out and they'll just start theorizing about something else. But they'll probably try to take credit of the fact that Gray Fox appears in MGSV. They'll be like "See? We told you Gray Fox was going to be in the game!", even though anyone who has read what's supposed to happen in MGS' storyline in the 80's knows that Gray Fox has to appear in MGSV. Already the fact that the game takes partially place in Africa is confirmation to me that we will be meeting Gray Fox and Naomi at some point in the game. Unless of course Kojima wants to retcon a huge chunk of the story, and that ain't gonna happen either.
