Why does hate-filled Kaz suddenly care so much about a children that if I hurt one he decides to end the entire mission?
Why does Venom Snake rescue children instead of just gunning them down? What does he and Motherbase gain from some worthless children?

Because Konami wants to make a profit.
Because Kaz doesn't want another Chico situation to happen.
Because Venom Snake is generally a nice guy.
When I watched the trailer I was pretty damn sure Big Boss recruited them.
When I listened to the prologue about how this band of child soldiers were beating the shit out of local professional militarists I thought of a dozen possible connections to supersoldier gene therapy and such systems since they were lead by Liquid.
But no. Miller just wanted to collect them for the same NPO that's paying MotherBase to collect bugs.
Nevermind Big Boss joined the army at 15. These 13 year olds are precious and delicate
Because it's like totally profound and stuff, man!
He never wanted Quiet around. He just pretended to be nice and be her friend.
Kaz is haunted by his past. He's guided by the trauma of what he's lost. He had a troubled childhood and thinks he can atone for his sins by giving some child soldiers a future.
Venom is a genuinely peaceful person who is more interested in saving people than killing them or sending them out to die. The memories of Big Boss in him are constantly conflicting with his true intentions. He initially tried convincing Kaz that they were naturally good soldiers and could be useful to mother base, but gave no resistance to Kaz's plan of educating them.
Also the game was unfinished as fuck
>Because Kaz doesn't want another Chico situation to happen.
Sorry what Chico situation? Where he made retarded mistake of not alerting the base to an enemy saboteur because he thought she was hot for days? Or where he went AWOL to do something suicidal and wound up spilling secrets because he was in love the aforementioned saboteur? Or where he died in a somewhat unrelated assault made on Motherbase?
'cause I gotta say I don't see how any of those are adverted by opening their base up to more pubecent kids. "chicos" if you will.
Where did you get this picture of me?
Censored by Konami, you were originally able to kill child soldiers and they were going to be a more common sight once you got to Africa, hence the removed cutscenes featuring them.
Unfortunately few games have the balls to let you kill kids now that the games are far more mainstream.
There was even a free Source game called "No More Room In Hell" from some no name devs that caught flak due to the game having zombie kids.
big boss would've trained the kids to be child soldiers
venom isn't big boss, he's a pacifist
He literally said they should train them, bit Kaz changed his mind because he always listens to Kaz.
but*
You're wrong, he didn't want to train them. He says an education would "be better than a life with a gun in their hands"
Neither Kaz nor Venom want to make them into child soldiers but no doubt Big Boss would've, that was his entire thing in MG1
Because games today are for pussies and they don't want you to see children being killed. But we know that the real Big Boss didn't have any trouble with killing children if it was beneficial for him.
A better question is why didn't they ever just fucking snap Eli's neck? Fucking Liquid I swear. That kid was nothing but a volatile douche in every cutscene.
I knew they wouldn't but I really wanted Ocelot or Venom to beat the shit out of Liquid
...but user... Eli gets the shit beaten out of him 3-4 times in the game. Twice he's a mini-boss so you get to do it yourself, one time Venom snaps his arm, and another time Ocelot ruins him with ease in a short CQC fight.
That wasn't shit
He's actively fomenting rebellion on a military base and just gets a few scrapes
I wanted to really kick the shit out of him
Remember that Venom, Kaz and Ocelot are all against the concept of child soldiers and are keeping them in Mother Base attempting to educate and help them get a proper life, so it would be wrong to respond to Eli's violent ways with more violence. A core theme of the game is "Retaliation breeds retaliation", nothing good comes from trying to get revenge.
Big Boss would probably kill them or train them as one of his own like with Chico, but Venom proves to be merciful and calmer.
Is this a new meme?
yeah
No, facts are not memes.
Why is so there so many metal gear threads on Sup Forums everyday? Just make a Metal Gear General on /vg/.
Should have at least worked harder to keep him from others
It was clear that he was the problem but they didn't work to tackle it effectively
I understand the themes of the game but the characters don't. Venom and Kaz were already consumed by vengeance on varying levels, it's not crazy to expand it to Liquid
Oh boy. You rascals and your Quiet talk.
Why didn't kid Solid appear in TPP?
>Patriots didn't make a female clone of Snake
Missed opportunity desu
Oh boy, you Delusionists and your denial.
There was a good story analysis video about MGSV and Venom snake but I forgot what it was called. Basically Venom acted like his idolized version of Big Boss. He took the moral high ground a lot in the game because that's what he belived the real Big Boss would do. The legend of BB, or his meme influenced his actions. BB built this legend about himself to hide his true side. Venom merely bought into it and contributed to creating the illusion of BB.
Because he was still in Anerica with his handlers
Liquid had escaped or gone off the reserve or whatever they called it
>but no doubt Big Boss would've, that was his entire thing in MG1
Yet somehow it's Venom who runs the show in MG1.
Also the whole "I'm already a demon" thing and the Oni motif all definitively apply to Venom and not BB, yet somehow Venom ends up as the model boy scout who saves child soldiers and doesn't kill Quiet.
Face it, they hyped up how controversial this game was going to be and pussied out at the last minute. The story is probably so sparse because a lot of it involved said controversy and they dropped it at the last second. I'd like to think that Konami was to blame for that and the friction between them and Kojima was due to him not backing down on his creative choices for the sake of broader sales appeal, but given some other cut lines that almost certainly originated with Kojima (like cutting some of MM's already recorded lines to make him easier to self-insert) I'm not so sure anymore.
