I really appreciated this. It pointed out something I totally missed in MGS5 that Kojima had a perfect plot and character he could have done a ton more with and instead it more or less gets ignored. It's one of numerous reasons the game feels overall unsatisfying because you're not playing as Big Boss, so none of his character development from MGS3 and Peace Walker carry over, and since the new guy who becomes Venom gets no character development, he's wasted as well. So all you have left is Venom doing missions and giving people balloon rides until Skull Face Monologues at him(Skull Face is also wasted as a character).

Just gave this a re-watch after work the other day. By far one of the best vids you’ve put out in my eyes.

I found the game to be a bit to slow for me, or maybe im just not patient enough for it, However i enjoy the wild metal gear lore, so hearing this was very interesting and offered some good insight about characters i didnt know much of. Good work plague

Great work! This was very enjoyable to listen to.
