Metal Gear Solid: Philanthropy



Metal Gear Solid:Philanthropy is a fan-made, non profit movie made by Hive, based off the Metal Gear Solid series. It is set in 2007 just before the Tanker Incident in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. The movie received positive reviews from critics and fans alike for it's portrayal of Solid Snake and the creation of the character Pierre and it's Metal Gear design. However, it has also received negative reviews due to it's lack of character development for the character codenamed "DisGrace" and the other original character Bishop who replaced Otacon as Snake's Codec contact, and due to the main antagonist of the movie is only on screen for three minutes and doesn't appear to have a name.

Plot
The movie begins in Outer Heaven during the Uprising in 1995 as two Outer Heaven soldiers are doing patrol, and both are taken out by Solid Snake who claims "This, is war." before marching off to the fortress.

The next scene takes place in June 2007 and it shows Snake on board the Nomad with fellow Philanthropist member, Bishop who claims his father, a Senator had been kidnapped and taken to a war-torn nation and he needed Snake to rescue him. Snake claims that he "knows the routine", and that "weapons need to be procured on-sight, and there would be no backup." However, Bishop states that Snake would have backup as he hired two mercenary snipers. Pierre and a woman codenamed Disgrace. Snake agrees to go as Bishop states that if Snake succeeds, there would be no need for Philanthropy and the world would be rid of Metal Gears, forever.

Snake arrives on sight and quickly meets with Pierre who Snake quickly takes a disliking to as Pierre seems immature, brash and unfit for the mission as when he met Pierre, he was playing a Nintendo DS instead of waiting for Snake as told. Snake next meets Disgrace outside the city as her superiors throw a rock at her head when her back was turned. Snake offers her a place on the mission and she accepts. Later that night, at camp, Snake tells Pierre that on all of her missions, all of Disgrace's commanding officers had "bitten the bullet", whether it had been friendly fire, accidental drowning or from the enemy. However, the group meets an unknown entity who knocks out their sensors and starts to jam their communications with a loud screech before disappearing. The following morning, Disgrace implores to whether or not Snake was worried that he knew about her track record. Snake replied "I don't care if I die or not, as long as the mission is a success."
