20th Villain

So it begins. It starts. It is now happening. Through pain. Through tribulations. Through hard labor. Through endlessly nagging and bothering my friends and sometimes even enemies. The project is afoot. It is beginning. Starting. Developing. Commencing. Launching. Dawning. It is even opening. Now is the time for:

TOP TWENTY HEROES AND VILLAINS

I’ll start the post with the villain who made it to the twentieth place. Though at the bottom He still made it as one of the best. The twentieth, but still one of them.

And the Twentieth place for greatest villain goes to:








Liquid Snake

That’s right, Liquid Snake. The villain for the popular video game (Or as some would call movie) Metal Gear Solid. His mission, his goal, his objective was the evil plot of…… well I don’t really know what he wanted but I know he was willing to nuke something to get it! Now that means business. For those who don’t know, He took over a an island in Alaska where they were making a state of the art nuclear equipped walking battle tank, call Metal Gear. Only one thing could get in his way! Those bloody launch codes. But being the clever person he is, he simply hatched a plan to manipulate his hero-twin-brother, Solid Snake, to activate the launch codes for him. The nerve.

That brings me to my next point, why is he cool? After Solid Snake beat his old man Big Boss, who could provide a worthy adversary. Why his own twin brother with a vendetta against Solid and the dead Big Boss. Liquid provided a cool foe for our hero to fight against.

Another reason Liquid was cool was that he was somewhat mysterious. In the beginning, you only knew he had a similar code name and face as Solid did. It wasn’t until the end that you figure out that the two were clones of Big Boss and Liquid’s “Good” genes were given to Solid to make Solid the best soldier of all time (or the other way around. Liquid thought he was the insuperior one.) This gave his a cool edge. Also you never new what he was really planning or what his true goal was (ok, he just wanted to out do his old man, and kill Solid Snake).

But for the most part, at least to me, Liquid Snake rocked because he was manipulative, cunning, and in charge. Anyone who could order around a bunch of misfits like Foxhound knows how to give an order. Every rockn’ killer on that team gave reverence to “The Boss”. He could toy with Solid more that the military + Naomi could. Liquid Snake always seemed to plan a head of our best, even in the Pentagon and CIA.

Finally, how many people could survive a helicopter crash, an exploding mech, a drop from a Mech, and a jeep crash (while taking bullet hits) all in the same night! In the end a virus killed him (no, not me) and even then he came back in the form of an arm!

Down sides to this character? He seemed to babble and whine on and on towards the end (Fine! I do enjoy the killing! Now won‘t you shut up!). He seemed way to British to be an American soldier. And the coming back in the form of Revolver Ocolot’s Arm was somewhat stupid.
