LORD OF BOOTY posted:Honestly, the batshit plot really accounts for a lot. If they just did a direct adaptation of Snake Eater, without any of the fourth-wall stuff, it would be a bad loving rear end movie and wouldn't really require them to touch any of the extra-weird stuff. The problem is that Snake Eater has a loving long climax, from the Volgin fight, to the chase scene, to the Shagohod, The Boss, then the Ocelot stand off and finally the whole denouement with EVA's tape I mean can you fit that in a 90 minute movie in a way that makes sense

For the climax you could skip the entire first Volgin fight (just have him take cover in the Shagohod as the bombs start to go off), keep the chase and have the Shagohod destroyed earlier in the following fight so you can have a fistfight with Volgin. Everything from the Boss to Eva's tape is already paced like a movie, so that should be easy. In terms of pacing, you could trim massive amounts of fat from everything that proceeds the first infiltration of Grozny Grad while moving the cooler bits (The End, The Fear) to after the escape from the sewers. Also, a film could fix the problem that MGS3 has with its massive info-dump at the end of the game. Or just do MGS1, since that's basically Escape from New York meets Die Hard on an arctic island. Personally, I'd like it if the film told a story that the games haven't already covered. I want to see the Cobra Unit tearing poo poo up during WWII or some of the stuff Big Boss did before Peace Walker.

I'm weird in that I'd mix together the plots of Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake and Metal Gear Solid to make something that works on it's own. It's not like there aren't already multiple MGS timelines, thanks to the PSP games.

Turns out he read somebody's creepypasta, thought it was real, and didn't bother to put forward high school level effort to check his sources. Do you have a link to that? Because I want to read on how a guy who has people helping his research hosed that up

A Metal Gear movie could go a few ways. If you want the most freedom, adapting the original Metal Gear games would both give you the most room to work with (because they were retconned to a comical degree anyway) and be the natural starting point of the whole clusterfuck of a franchise. If you want to start from the start, period piece MGS3 would work, and gives you a trilogy (possibly) of Big Boss' rise and fall as a hero leading right into Metal Gear. And of course you could just adapt Metal Gear Solid. Kinda funny that it's basically the Star Wars of video games, except the prequel trilogy detailing the main villain's rise and fall to evil was actually better received for the most part.

Virtuous Mission is basically the prologue and I can see it being about twenty minutes itself. You'll need at least ten minutes dedicated to ~~~the ladder~~~.

I think the whole reason Jordan Vogt-Roberts even got the job was Kojima being impressed with Skull Island.

But it was something dumb like somebody uploading their creepypasta to the wiki page about a real asylum, and the Lore guy just stating it like it was fact without any sort of checking. That was all it took to find it: quote:Danvers Hospital is tricky. The information about the 100 patients was something I found in two places: wikipedia and a Reddit post echoing a lot of the same details, but with extra things like numbers. Here’s where it gets weird though. I use the Evernote web clipper for a lot of my research, grabbing the full text of webpages for off-line / later reading and planning. The wikipedia article on the Danvers State Hospital had a paragraph about the missing teens, the woods, and the tall man. But when I go back to the website to look for it again, the paragraph is gone. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:MobileDiff/661148066

The guys who make The Dollop also got in trouble for plagiarising articles almost word for word for multiple episodes, I've never understood why people who make the living doing shows like that can't ever do the bare minimum of coming their sources unless they get external pressure and/or have fans willing to do unpaid labor for them. The Lore guy is just especially egregious because he's not really funny or interesting and on top of not adding anything to the material his voice and delivery is terrible. And apparently he was a professional author before the podcast.

MGS has a character get an arm transplant from a terrorist, and then he hypnotizes himself into believing he is the original owner of the arm. They use the terrorist's voice actor when the guy thinks his arm has taken him over with the spirit from beyond the grave. He hypnotizes himself into believing he has a haunted arm.

MGS3 film should just start with the virtuous mission ending showdown on the bridge, smash cut to credits following the bomb blast, which all told is maybe 15-20 minutes of run time and that leaves you a solid 90+ to do the rest without seeming truly over stuffed.

Firstborn posted:MGS has a character get an arm transplant from a terrorist, and then he hypnotizes himself into believing he is the original owner of the arm. It's even better than that. Ocelot really was possessed by Liquid Snake in MGS2. But sometime after MGS2, Ocelot took control over his body again. But he realized for his plans it would be better for people to believe he was still being possessed, so then he hypnotizes himself into believing he's still possessed.
