And I can see where you're coming from. Connecting all these characters too much would be ridiculous in a way.

But I think it might be good to develop the backstory of some of the most beloved villainous characters in the franchise, like Liquid, Decoy Octopus and Psycho Mantis. Exactly! Admittedly it's why I wouldn't mind it, as long as they actually bother to flesh out the character enough to warrant the connections (that way, at least the connection isn't necessarily what's important, but how their roles actually mean in regards to the connection). At least in this case, I'm referring to Skull Face anyway, as Liquid being Eli seems like no-brainer route and it'd be a waste not to reveal him as Liquid.
