Look, the kind of downfall Big Boss experienced in MGSV if it could even be called that is better expected from someone of Albert Wesker's caliber, NOT Big Boss who is more of a Magneto-type villain. In other words, he would not save the Outer Heaven resistance when they were in need because they'd pose too much of a threat to him, and would most likely leave them to die if not gun them down himself, not save them from NATO when they backstabbed him, and probably shoot any survivors for his own forces in Outer Heaven as well. In other words, he'd be more like Wesker in Umbrella Chronicles here, or his treatment of Excella Gionne in Resident Evil 5 here. You must be joking. Or maybe it's sective memory. There's a reason MG2 Big Boss saves people from the battlefield... He can always find more people to recruit, though. He didn't NEED to save the Outer Heaven Resistance at all, and if anything it would have actually been smart and even more dastardly to leave people to die on the battlefield if the going gets rough. It's not like he even needed to worry about his reputation anyhow, since his reputation was already tarnished with the end of the Outer Heaven Uprising when it was revealed he was playing both sides. That's what I'm trying to get at. They didn't need to have Black Collar be Kyle Schneider, for example, nor did they need to actually have him join Big Boss to repay him for saving his fellow resistance members. Just omit that, and keep in Big Boss's speech to Solid Snake and it wouldn't cause any particular conflict regarding morality.
