Sons of liberty still had snake doing shit and not just mope around being a depressed asshole after the tanker chapter. the president shit was also still followed up with the patriots. MGS2 didn't just have kojima say "that plot didn't really matter, here's a complete deconstruction of the MG 1+2 and MGS out of nowhere bro". it treated the previous characters with respect while also working in its meta commentary.
*eyes glow* Did anyone just compare MGS2 to TLJ?
Well, lets see, one is a subversive post modernist masterpiece that speaks directly to our modern age as if it was made yesterday, the other is the last jedi.
Snake wasnt the focus because Kojima understandably didnt want to be limited to following JUST him, besides, Raiden was meant to be the player that fanboyed over MGS 1. Solidus was an amazing "villain" that had you agreeing with him for the most part, even tho he himself aint the nicest person. The patriots were scary and mysterious until the MGS 3/4/5 over explained them but the ending of 2 left us hooked, wanting to know more and see what would happen next, TLJ just made me lose interest.
MGS2 was just mocked because it dared to not jerk Snake off and force him to keep him the center focus, Kojima got punished for focusing more on the plot than the character (without mentioning that I think him already foreshadowing Snake's accelerated aging at the tanker chapter was already an indication he wanted to put the Solid Snake character to rest).
Sorry, I sperg-ed out when one of my favorite franchises is mentioned in comparison to a fuck keep like TLJ.
Hey, I didn't say Sons of Liberty wasn't a million times better than TLJ, just that I think that's what Rian was going for, but failed miserably.
