Couldn't agree more 214. It just seems like Kojima couldn't come up with a better explanation to the coming events. Worse imo is how quickly it's explained away, Ocelot says what he's going to do briefly, then apparently it works. We see/hear no in depth explanation other than 'hypnosis son'.

Even for Kojima, this was too out there for me. For this entire plan to succeed there seems to be too many variables, he has to completely get 'rid' of The Medics memories of his life up until that point, but did he suppress them, or somehow remove them completely? or did that shrapnel in skull cause full amnesia? so he was essentially an empty vessel?. He has to somehow give Medic most/all of Big Boss' memories and experiences. How did Medic suddenly know how to seemingly use any and all weapons, did Ocelot or Big Boss explain every weapon in the world so he'd know how to correctly use and care for them?

It wouldn't have annoyed me so much if they went deeper into explaining it, how long did it take? how sure were they it would work? How did Ocelot know enough about Big Boss' emotions and mentality to ensure this 'creation' wouldn't just be some psychopathic killer with the skills of Big Boss? or go off because this Big Boss' mentality was slightly different to the real one? How did he transfer not only those emotions and mentality but how did he make Medic as skilled as Big Boss?

I mean for this to work Venom had to be exact copy of Big Boss, would a Medic, any medic even one of MSF be as well-trained as Big Boss? I don't think so, not by a mile. How did he have memories of Kaz and Snake if he wasn't there? did Big Boss just offer his entire life story to Ocelot with no lies or forgotten moments?

Poorly explained major event bugs me =p or maybe there's some secret cassettes out there explaining it all and I just haven't found them.
