Liquid Snake

Mostly just asking out of curiosity. I assume she might have the most positive opinion of Solid just since he seemed to have the best understanding of her will, but curious what y’all think.

So I’ve followed metal gear for years, but only recently I had a realization that I do not in fact have a concrete idea as to why Ocelot transplanted Liquid’s arm onto himself, or why he hypnotized himself to become Liquid. Liquid’s personality claims it was purposeful, and that he “chose” ocelot. Which, being dead, is impossible.

I have some ideas? That might explain it?

In Mgs2 he often complains to Solidus about the arm acting up (because at this point it is actually liquids arm and his psyche is taking over). It’s my thought that he specifically got Liquids arm as a means to create some plausible explanation for his cover of working with Solidus. Although why someone wouldn’t find requesting that particular persons arm as suspect is beyond me. 

And then in MGS4, it’s possible he had obtained the arm and kept it, solely to use it in his insurrection against the patriots, and the hijacking of SOP, which required Big Boss’ dna. Maybe he had suspected Liquid’s DNA would suffice, and that is what caused him to obtain the arm in the first place, so he could have it at this pivotal moment. Even though Liquid’s dna ends up not working. 

As for hypnotizing himself. Maybe it was to incite Snake into pursuing him? I mean he was already doing world ending things so that should’ve been enough, but maybe if it wasn’t Liquid, Snake wouldn’t have been so quick to act? 

Maybe becoming Liquid was part of his confrontation with Kaz in MgsV, “I will make his Phantom stronger, and train his son to destroy him” “And I will stop you, and train the other son”. Although this seem like a bit of a stretch cuz Ocelot wasn’t desperate or coming at it from a vengeance angle like Kaz was, he was just explaining his method to defend Big Boss. It was less personal for him and more of a duty thing. Also not like him and Eli got along particularly well. So some personal need to “become him” kinda would come out of nowhere. So that probably isn’t it.

Also it’s not mentioned in the wiki article why. So PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME MAKE SENSE OF THIS😂😂😂

What if Eli(Liquid) its a clone of Kazuhira Miller instead of being a clone of big boss?

If Volgin wouldn't have fired that Nuke, America wouldn't have had to prove its innocence. They wouldn't have sent Naked Snake to kill The Boss, so Naked Snake would never have become Big Boss. By not becoming Big Boss, there wouldn't be a cult worshiping him. That means they wouldn't clone him, so no Solid, Liquid and Solidus Snake. Same thing for Venom, he wouldn't become Big Boss' phantom and would remain his true self. America isn't controlled by the Patriots. Maybe controlled by the Philosophers though. Big Boss never meets Kaz and never creates MSF. No Outer Heaven and no Zanzibar either. All of that happened because Volgin fired that Nuke. Crazy, when you think about it.
