Thanks and sorry, I'd had an all night marathon of reading metal gear history and I was pretty broken by the time I wrote this. And I mixed up the main two games of my childhood Metal Gear experience! The franchise is pretty vast now and Kojima's consistently demonstrated he can make almost anything tie into the continuity. I've read endless pages for characters with seemingly brief appearences that he could easily pull out again and twist with in future. He's created a ton of characters and from a vast and detailed alternate world and he likes his mindfucks... Little restriction in fiction, so it's kinda futile and frustrating the convolution of dicussions we do... And he knows that... And I guess it's part of the drama that builds us up to the game, gets us to lose sleep over, and then we end up sleep deprived saluting a gravestone in the local graveyard and... no, nevermind.

Only just discovered people theories about Chico being Quiet that I'm currently finding hard to process. It kinda works, but I think in this case the controversial stir might be a little more mundane and adolescent. Tryna stir some attention methinks. Have we matured enough for the inclusion of a transgender character? I certainly hope so. However, I have a feeling the LGBT might object to Chico's motivations to change his gender, so he can't violate sexually rather than ordinary choices some people make to finally feel themselves. In fact, the only bit that makes sense is the mutism as he has been weak enough (but y'know a kid) to talk twice in rather brutal situations and betray his Compas, MSF, even Paz if you listen to the tapes.

And the other idea that she has autotrophic abilties like the End still doesn't explain why she is scantily clad. The 100 yr old beardy sniper didn't wear a thong and fishnets and he was in a more temperate environment than the sun and blue skies of the trailer featuring Quiet... Though he did nod off a bit.

I know I am going to enjoy what's coming but Kojima's choices in the creation of the sexy sniper better be pretty justified otherwise it will dampen the epic grittiness and meaness of the rise of Big Boss from the ashes like a suspect sock in a teen's room with Kojima's new pin up model tacked on their wall.

But I think I can trust him by now...

And I rattled the too much again.
