The Cipher thing is weird too cause they're acrually going after XOF who is also opposed to Cipher and they become aware of this pretty early on and still keep calling them Cipher. It could have been done better sooooo much easier too, cause now it also leaves questions in the backstory of other characters. Cause apparently Vulcan Raven was at Outer Heaven during the first game and Snake just didn't run into them according to Mgs1, same with Ocelot having been in Zanzibar land during Mg2. Ocelot's nickname Shalashaska was given to him when he was eith the soviets in Afghanistan, he says so when you get tortured. Sniper Wolf being an orphaned Kurd who Big Boss finds. Grey FUCKING FOX'S entire backstory now makes no sense and he used to be a really major character. Big Boss was a sympathetic villain but by the end of his day an absolutely unforgivable piece of shit and Solid Snake is the hero of the story. I resent the Big Boss mythologizing thst was done within canon and by fans he became what the stsr wars prequels made Darth Vader.
