Why did Kojima ruin Big Boss by turning him into some Che Guevara character in Peace Walker?
>leads sandinistas tryint to stablish a comunist regime in costa rica >main antagonist is a CIA station chief >is literally compared to Che Guevara ingame >looks exactly like Che Guevara
Don't Kojima know that Che was a sociopath, rapist, cruel executioner that killed many innocent civilians, including women and children in favor of an evil dictator and a broken, corrupt regime that is, to this day, making life hell to people in Cuba?
Jaxson Lopez
Is Kojima, dare I say... a hack?
Andrew Morgan
MGS3 had a good balance, by making the USA and the USSR equally as corrupt and evil, at least their organizations, that played by no rules and were immoral as fuck.
But Kojima seems to have leaned more and more to idolizing the left on subsequent games...
Caleb Perry
Another retard Sup Forums fag right-wing cuck whinning about shit he learned from USA propaganda.
Face it, che was no saint but he lead people to freedom along with Castro. Are u such a retard to discuss things you only saw on TV or heard your righty shitty parents said?
It's the most commie Metal Gear ever made but don't forget Big Boss establishes PMC bussiness model which is a free market for army services, which has a capitalism base, supply and demand. There's no state in outer heaven and the fact they support private army and their other ideals I'd say big boss was always an ancap faggot.
Austin Anderson
yeah freedom from the internet and thootbrushes lol
Ethan Richardson
I mean, even MSF logo has the ancap flag colors on it
Carson Ward
Thats the point.
Michael Carter
Even Cubans hated Castro and Che. You're likely the one who got hit with the propaganda cool-aid.
Also, if a rebel kills innocents in his own country then he is evil, not the voice of change
Evan Morales
>Face it, che was no saint but he lead people to freedom along with Castro >freedom
It looks like you are the one being fed leftist propaganda.
Most biographys of Che are based on his writings heavily edited by Castro's regime to serve as propaganda.
Fuck off with this ''freedom fighter'' nonsense...
Brayden Lewis
I really don't think you know how Cuba was like before them.
Reminder that Cuba has an extremely high literacy rate and good healthcare
Elijah Thomas
>good healthcare HAHAHAHAHA THE STATE OF FIRST WORLD COMMUNISTS
John Nelson
You mean a primary color and black? wow, FUCKING PROVED, CASE CLOSED GUYS!
Camden Butler
What're you talking about? You think just having free healthcare and fudging literacy numbers makes your country a paradise?
Eli Williams
This has to be bait...
Is this the reason engineers are working as cab drivers to make a decent living?
John Taylor
Don't get me wrong, Castro and Che are shit tier, but they made Cuba better than it was before
Carson King
for themselves yeah, the rest still lives in poverty
Jack Phillips
This I can understand. They were still monsters who shit on innocent people to boost their own power and wealth.
Dominic Butler
Cuba would have been much better today if Castro never took power.
When the fucking USSR say to you that your country is unsustainable and threaten to cut the financial aid if you don't put your shit together, this is how you know you have stablished a really, really bad system.
Oliver Barnes
>this is what college going, trust fund using, antifa supporting faggots actually believe
I don't think YOU fully understand what life was like for the average citizen under the reign of the communistic government and Castro...
Ayden Long
Nah, Cuba sucks right now, but it's better off with Che and Castro than without
As opposed to any other capitalist latin american country?
Well, yeah, but at least after the war, they weren't being fucking massacred and tortured
>Cuba would have been much better today if Castro never took power. Do you really want me to show you how shit tier batista was?
And I don't think you understand how life is in latin american countries that the US fucked up either
Hunter Lewis
Is this the power of american education?
Kayden Hill
Big boss is an asshole
Aaron Gray
>Well, yeah, but at least after the war, they weren't being fucking massacred and tortured wrong
Gabriel Diaz
Far better than life in failed Soviet states.
Zachary Gonzalez
It's really not. Remove the communist party from power and watch, the quality of life for the average Cuban will improve greatly
Aaron Flores
>As opposed to any other capitalist latin american country?
Nigger, Chile is a fucking paradise compared to Cuba.
Not a coincidence that it is practically the only right leaning country in south america...
Oliver Phillips
>And I don't think you understand how life is in latin american countries that the US fucked up either where do you live
Grayson Robinson
Compare how Poland and Czech Republic turned out rather than Guatemala and Paraguay
Lol, reminder that le free market fucked Mexico up in the 90's
Are you fucking saying that Chile is the only capitalis country in latin america? Uruguay is doing much better, and it recently had a left leaning president
Mexico
Isaac Flores
Please, tell me how North Korea is also better of with Kim Jong Un than without...
Oh, wait, you don't have to go to a parallel universe to figure it out, just look at fucking south corea, you brainwashed commie scum.
Cooper Wilson
No. My dad us from Cuba and left when Castro had a death grip on the government. He said it was absolutely shit, and he took EVERYTHING from the people and left them with nothing, all while the party leaders and regime sat in their ivory towers.
People were literally being lined up and gunned down in the streets, like the CoD 4 mission where you play as the president of the middle eastern country or whatever.
If people would rather sit on a tire boat for possibly weeks than stay in your country, you know something is fucked.
Christian Bell
>
I mean its certainly possible, but not because batista and his cronies were greater humanitarians. castro was no saint, and no one should ever idolize him. however its pretty irresponsible to ignore the effect the US played in destroying the cuban economy with sanctions because their dictator of choice got unseated by a populist with an opposing ideology.
Xavier Sullivan
The che figure is cool, what else do you need? Its a fucking videogame
Jose Anderson
im sorry youre retarded if you think cuba is better than mexico
Hudson Morgan
It's OK, once MGSurvive and a new trilogy come out, you'll be begging for him back. Yeah, every Metal Gear since 2001 has been pretty dumb, but they were more entertaining to follow and play. It sucks that Kojimbo became obsessed with a character that didn't even need expanding, but what are you gonna do?
Jack Fisher
Mexico has its own problems, the biggest is that it's on the American border so generally the good Mexicans flee to the us while drug cartels and corrupt politicians fill in the gaps left by those immigrants
Sebastian Hughes
>Uruguay is doing much better wrong
Ayden Smith
>And I don't think you understand how life is in latin american countries that the US fucked up either
the US succesfully stopped a comunist cue in Brazil, supporting the military dictatorship in 1964.
As a brazillian myself, I thank the US and regret how the military gave up. Just look at Brazil now, after years of left goverment.
SAVE US AGAIN, USA, PLEASE!
Chase Young
Che Guevara represents more than who he actually was and what he actually fought for. He is a symbol of a revolutionary struggle, a hero, he is larger than life, because he dedicated himself to spreading his ideals all over the world. His life was struggle and fight against what he percieved the evils of the world, just like BB's entire life is constant warfare.This idea is in general a throwback to middle 19th century, when you had inspired revolutionaries, fighting for freedom of nations, like Garbaldi, Mierosławski, Bem. (or Colonel Aureliano Buendia)
Che is a patron saint of revolutionaries, even if he was a cunt, commie and you hate him for multiple things, his image trenscended ideology.
Parker Green
Why does Sup Forums praise Big Boss by constantly assuming that he's some James Bond character like in Snake Eater?
> Leads Paramilitary groups in Zanzibar Land (Venom)/Outer Heaven > Is main antagonist in first (Venom) and second game > Is literally made out to be a military organization > Looks exactly like a BBEG
Doesn't Sup Forums know that Big Boss was always a sociopath, pervert, cold executioner that killed whoever and whatever got in his way, much like an evil dictator in a broken an corrupt dream free from government that, to this day, had to be fixed and carried out by his subordinate and clone because all he really did was make life hell for the people of the world?
Jose Cook
South Korea is fucking horrible right now. It's fucking disgusting that most of their life is spent in a cubicle and most of their teenage years are spent studying and being beta autists
I really don't think your dad lived before the time of the revolution, and I don't think you know how bad it was before.
Also, if your dad chose to escape to the US, either he was a richfag who got BTFO or an opportunist
kek, Cuba doesn't have people working they're ass off until they're 60 years old or narcos beheading people and bribing the police
You have it wrong, most of the people who go to the US illegally are opportunist trash who engage in cholo culture. Besides, I'm sure they should have fun picking fruit in fields
Overstatement I made, but Uruguay isn't doing bad at all
I'm sure you don't know the history of your country, before the military junta, it was doing fine. How cucked do you have to be for wanting the US to support another puppet?
Cameron Rivera
>your only allowed to mimic murderers in videogames if they killed the eternal jew's enemies
Fuck off, murderers are cool to represent in videogames regardless of their ideology
Bentley Bennett
Yes, his image means more, but only based on lies. The right thing to do would be to fucking EDUCATE POEPLE so they know better, instead of idolizing murderers.
also >because he dedicated himself to spreading his ideals all over the world. His life was struggle and fight against what he percieved the evils of the world
completely false. He enjoyed most of his life with money he never earned, traveling on his motorcycle and enjoying a life of hedonism until it no longer satisfyed him. His parents were high society, despite being shit at administrating their welth. Overall he lived pretty confortably.
Owen Rivera
>Cuba doesn't have people working they're ass off until they're 60 years old or narcos beheading people and bribing the police
yeah cuba doesnt have cars or computers, doesnt have soap or thootbrushes, sure its safer than mexico since its a dictatorship, but if you think the goverment just gives them all to have a better life than you
Nathan Phillips
Solid Snake > Big Boss
Wyatt Jenkins
>South Korea is fucking horrible right now. It's fucking disgusting that most of their life is spent in a cubicle and most of their teenage years are spent studying and being beta autists
how, so much worse than life in north korea. You just showed me the truth, user, thanks!
Leo Gray
Guess Kojima saw the mini series film Che" when he made peace walker
Is there a single Kojima game that isn't a rip off of some movie like blade runner/escape from ny/lethal weapon ? Does the man have an original bone in his body ?
Wonder what death stranding will wind up being a complete rip off of
Asher Butler
Sup Forums doesn't care about Metal Gear, and evidently neither does Kojima. I don't really know why Sup Forums likes Big Boss, the only time he remotely has any character in MGS is during MGS3, and his entire character is determined by his relationship with The Boss, a character with no character, and a relationship that is nonexistent.
tl;dr Retards like MGS3 and Big Boss. Even in Metal Gear 2 he was just a big bad, like his name implies. Headcanon is a neurological response to cover for shitty writing.
Ryder Taylor
It was doing fine BEFORE the commie president took power. Just imagine how Brazil would be today if Lula took power in 64.
We would be a bigger Cuba today.
Grayson Ward
It was an easy parallel to draw from with respect to Big Boss being a charismatic, militaristic leader.
I don't think Kojima necessarily did it as an endorsement, but who knows. The tape conversations surrounding him are strangely enthusiastic.
Mason Bailey
Nope. Everything he makes is a rip off of western media
Julian Johnson
>South Korea >Horrible They have a high standard of living and are extremely well educated. I would pick South Korea over Cuba any day of the week, even with thousands of missiles pointed at Seoul
Listen buddy, Castro was a monster. A real beast in human skin. Sometimes rebels are like that, and often the best military minds make awful rulers.
If you grew up in Mexico going to school there, then you were likely fed a bit of propaganda through that as well.
Cuba is not a nice place to live.
Henry Wilson
...
Tyler Diaz
Yeah, Kojima is the definition of style over substance.
Just because he has a good eye to make things look good and appear to be deep (just look at his MGSV trailers), people naturally assume the story has more meaning and substance than it really has.
Ethan Gutierrez
How about comparing SK to NK. Comparing South American shitholes that were always shitty to determined Mid-European countries (that not only always opposed Communism, but also establushed communist-lite establishments before the fall of the Union) is apples to Oranges
Jacob Roberts
I'd rather go without a car than be beheaded, but alright
Did I ever say NK was better? i was just saying that SK is a stupid pathetic country
Yeah, I actually agree with you, Brazil in 64 was doing better than today, but Brazil before 64 was better
Lol, have you seen how life is like in SK? Government censorship is through the roof and so many people die alone. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Cuba is a good place to live, but it says something if I have to hesitate between picking Cuba or SK
>Listen buddy, Castro was a monster. A real beast in human skin. Sometimes rebels are like that, and often the best military minds make awful rulers. yeah i agree with you 100% here
>If you grew up in Mexico going to school there, then you were likely fed a bit of propaganda through that as well. Nope, grew up in the US, but if you think Mexico has socialist propaganda, you're extremely deluded, and you're consumed by propaganda.
Jaxson Taylor
Exactly. At the end he literally says he will be a terrorist
Jaxon Jenkins
That's the point.
Think about his ideals when making Outer Heaven dude
Camden Flores
>Did I ever say NK was better? i was just saying that SK is a stupid pathetic country
You say that from Mexico? Mexico could only dream of becoming something like South Korea. Hell, I wish Brazil was in the same rout as sour korea...and I would rather die than living the rest of my life in Cuba.
Christopher Sanchez
He was a fairly fleshed out character in MG2. It's the only time I ever found his character interesting.
Michael Bell
>Cuba was better before Che and Castro
You guys forgot to add "if you were a rich foreigner"
Jordan Bell
No, that is NOT the point.
Big Boss never raped anyone, never executed kids or unnarmed, innocent civilians, never served directly under a communist dictator.
The parallel makes no sense.
Nathaniel Evans
If you were poor and miserable before, you were poor and miserable after. The only difference is Communism kept the benefits of time from ever reaching Cuba. They're literally third world tier.
Justin Robinson
>The only difference is Communism kept the benefits of time from ever reaching Cuba
Well that and all those sanctions done by the US
Jacob Hernandez
Cuba's central planning was so laughably bad that even the USSR gave them shit for it.
Even for communist standards it was a failure, if that don't tell you anything, nothing will...
Charles Howard
But the point is not the persona of Che Guevara, it IS his image. Kojima does not have any ethical obligation to Correct the Record, but to make good games. The murderer has been idolized for many years now, just like many others were, but that is the exact reason, why Big Boss is compared to Che in PW. Seriously, it simply does not matter what kind of a person he really was, it matters how people percieve him and he is a symbol, nothing more. Romantic revolutionaries move people.
Luke Jackson
Because of Communism and the missile crisis...
Asher Lopez
Very improved, much nice!
Cooper Hernandez
Looking forward to kill you on the coming race war
Brody Allen
I'm now honestly curious about what it will rip, though since he has Del Taco with him, he could make some of the usual horro movie plot for kojima if he really wanted
Jordan Lopez
yeah the state department even said so
Jordan Bennett
Its funny how the faggot commie will completely ignore your pic, because aparently a spic knows best of the country than its own inhabitants
Dylan Barnes
>crl+f caramel >phrase not found
Justin Howard
And the Bay of Pigs
Charles Butler
I can understand that a sandinista rebel would look at BB and see Che, as a positive thing, but Kojima is helping spread lies and disinformation that would propagate this misleading image.
He isn't at fault for creating the cult on Che, but he sure as hell is at fault for spreading it even further with bullshit like this.
Ignorance can never be defended, people need to be educated.
Joshua Ramirez
That's failing to mention the totalitarian government that would breath down everyone's neck and shoot your loved ones in the street.
Andrew Green
>Small group of rebels overthrow corrupt government that was run by a much larger government over seas
I don't understand this is the kind of shit Americans brag about with their Founding Fathers? If they weren't Commies would they still get this much hate?
Ryder Hernandez
Manipulating peoples images and spreading misinformation was a well known tactic of the USSR to keep people in check.
Do you really support this practice on this day and age? Don't you think would be more productive to enlighten people on the truth instead of keeping the status quo because ''le epic freedom fighter'' looks cool on t-shirts?
Jacob Robinson
>leads sandinistas tryint to stablish a comunist regime in costa rica
Why would you ever disregard potential allies?
>main antagonist is a CIA station chief
You do know BB at this point hates the US, right?
>is literally compared to Che Guevara ingame >legendary revolutionary military dude is compared to another legendary revolutionary military dude
woah
>looks exactly like Che Guevara
Because Kojima is a hack
Gavin Ross
The USSR was medding in other countryes during the cold war, if the US had sat on his ass during that time we would be living in comunist hell today (aka regular comunism).
Nicholas Davis
No he took kids and used them as soldiers. Outer heaven/ Zanzibar land is a communist nation.
Benjamin Barnes
>Why would you ever disregard potential allies? the sandinistas were more trouble than they were worth.
>You do know BB at this point hates the US, right? No, he just hated the CIA and maybe the goverment in general, not the US as a whole.
>legendary revolutionary military dude is compared to another legendary revolutionary military dude
Not a valid parallel, as I said before.
>Because Kojima is a hack
he sure is.
William Young
>The US was medding in other countryes during the cold war, if the USSR had sat on his ass during that time we would be living in capitalist hell today (aka regular capitalism).
Nathan Martin
The Russians put nukes in Cuba because there united States put nukes in turkey. It was a dirty war of politics and proxy battles
Ryan Long
Yeah but MG autists find 'clues' everywhere. Remember the Chico = Quiet stuff?
Daniel Green
I'll take capitalist hell over comunist hell any day of the week.
Joseph Sanchez
tbqh i'd rather live in Mexico than in SK.
If I lived in SK, I'd fucking kill myself, no joke.
Kayden Sanchez
The US had also just tried and failed to invade Cuba.
Asher James
If the USSR won, we wouldn't be discussing this on an anime imageboard with our computers, we would be working at some factory for the glory of our great comrad leader.
Carter Bell
>literacy >was 80% before Castro came to power All the better to read state propaganda with. Why couldn't they have just made it a republic?
Brayden Long
ok, enjoy.
Mason Ross
because kuwabara like quiet prision
Brayden Jenkins
You say that like a nigger country wouldn't be doomed regardless of what regime it adopted.
There are many, many great capitalist country's to live. There has never been a good communist country to live.
Thomas Young
>yeah freedom from the internet and thootbrushes lol More like freedom from being debt slaves and the united states of Israel lol
Kevin Phillips
>regime it adopted
damn you dont know shit about politics do you
Jaxson Hughes
Yes, people from Cuba sure are the more free people on earth because of that.
They must feel so grateful, to have such honor...
Ian Taylor
Sure, just selectively ignore the rest of my post. Very convenient.
Hunter Moore
I went to Cuba on a mission trip. The image you're trying to convey of some sort of dystopia is not reality at all.
Jonathan Parker
tell me what regimes are and how one adopts them, and what they have to do with capitalism and communism
Isaac Perry
You know that most places in Africa are in shit condition because the rulers manipulate the economy so its impossible to have a real, capitalist free market or any possibility of development, right?
If you think that represents capitalism, you are retarded.
