Forum:Was Snake an agent of the Patriots all is life ? *Spoilers*

Was Solid Snake an agent of the Patriots all is life without him, and us the players knowing until the very end of MGS4?

Let me explain: In MG1 and MG2, Solid Snake is sent to stop the "evil" Big Boss. According to the "official" story of these games, Big Boss and his Outer Heaven want to make a the world a world for soldiers, spreading war and chaos everywhere.

In MGS1, Solid Snake is sent to Shadow Moses to stop Liquid Snake. Liquid Snake is now a "evil terrorist" who started and insurection and must be stopped, again according to the story we learn in that game.

In MGS2, Solid Snake stops Solidus Snake. Altought apparently the whole freakin' game was just a test organized by the patriots, Solid Snake still tries to stop someone who is against the Patriots.

In MGS4, Solid Snake is sent to stop Liquid Ocelot, because again he wants to take over the world...

And then at the end of MGS4, Big Boss tells you the shocking truth: Liquid Ocelot was actually a "good guy" (in a way) who toyed with Solid Snake so he would destroy the Patriots. Why did Liquid Ocelot go trough all that trouble ? Oh yeah because Snake's mission was supported ( Partially trough Debrin and Rat Patrol 01) by ... the Patriots themselves ! This all means that Snake, until the very last part that the Patriots did not expect(end of Act5), did the work the Patriots wanted him to do ! Solid Snake was an agent of the Patriots!

And after you tought that was shocking, Big Boss pulls out even bigger shockers: The Outer Heavens Big Boss built in MG1 and MG2 were not for global-scale warfare, they were only to create a place free from the Patriot's control, meaning it was the Patriots themselves who, directly or indirectly, sent Solid Snake to do their dirty work. Solid Snake was an agent of the Patriots, sent to destroy what the Patriots perceived as a threath.

In MGS1 and MGS2, the "antagonists", Liquid and Solidus were defenitly "evil", but their first main direct goal was to destroy the Patriots. Who did the Patriots send to eliminate the threath ? Their agent, Solid Snake.

So the question I cannot find the answer to is this: At the very end of MGS4, when Solid Snake learn all this, that he has been manipulated by the Patriots all his life, why... why dosen't he do anything !? It's like he doesnt even realise it ! Like he can't or doesn't want to think about it. He has absolutly no reaction ! The whole concept, after it as been told to Snake, is not discussed at all in the rest of the epilogue.

As anyone here ever tought of this ?
