Seriously, Big Boss saga is awful, Kojima ruined the chance to flesh out a tragic character, with each new game Kojima ruined his arc and characterization, he was Anakin Skywalkered,

MGS3: a naive, aloof and innocent version of Solid Snake, a troubled soldier in a mission to kill his mentor, Operation Snake Eater was his shinning moment but MGSV completly crapped on that with XOF/Skullface involvement in the shadows.

PW: We learn that Miller was the brains behind MSF and pretty much the inventor of the entire PMC concept in the metal gear verse, we never saw Big Boss as the ultimate charismatic leader, in fact he was still crying about The Boss and was pretty much a glorofied errand boy.

MGSV GZ: zero character development, just another mission, the entire point of this prologue was Venom genesis.

MGSV TPP: we learn that Big Boss is a hypocrite and a coward, he dislikes clones but he is okay with a memetic cloned also created by Zero, he uses an entire hospital, medics and patients as meatshield just to escape from Skullface/XOF, put a big bullseye on Venom and goes away on irrelevant missions while Venom builds a better version of MSF, deals with a doomsday biological virus more dangerous than nukes, fight against XOF and the overpowered Skulls / Quiet, destroys the most powerful Metal Gear ever and finally defeat Skullface, he pretty much put a HUGE dent on Cipher as a whole, something Big Boss never could do.

Screw prequels If it's of any consolation, Portable Ops actually DID paint Big Boss in a very badass light, and is arguably one of the best Big Boss prequels this side of Snake Eater. That game is proof that Metal Gear series doesnt need a fucking hack like Kojima to tell a decent story, sadly, this stupid fanbase like to crap on that game just because is not made by their God. Funny enough Rising also has more respect for the canon compared to the last couple of Kojima games.

Yesterday I beat Spec Ops The Line and man........ now THAT is how you make a tragic story about men becoming demons. Indeed, Spec Ops:  The Line is AWESOME. One of my favorite games.
