So why did he punch the mirror?

I dont remember everything but I guess it was him breaking his old self, admitting and accepting his current role and walking back to his duty

Because Kojima was proud of having attended Movie Making 101.

>>379491962
Because Big Boss was on the other side.

>>379491962
I'd punch a mirror too if I starred in such a shitty game and wasn't even Big Boss.

>>379491962
>"God damn it, Big Boss. You could have fucking told me earlier in person instead of waiting and giving me a fucking cassette tape."

>No John you are the Boss
Great stuff kojimadrones

>>379491962
He is not a reflection of Big Boss anymore, guess thats why.

V is an inverted version of MGS2. And it ends with your character losing himself entirely instead of becoming his own man.

He shattered the illusion

>>379491962
Are you saying you didn't punch your screen at that scene?

>>379492048
I took it as him realizing what he's become and being angry at it and disappearing into the smoke signifying him accepting his impending fate (whether that means killing snake and continuing being an enemy of uncle sam or dying to snake)

>>379492573
This. It also explained the S3 plan, it had been done before.

Why did Venom's theme only play like once? it's so fucking good and it's rarely used. There's so much good music in this game that just felt wasted

He saw Bob in the mirror.

>>379491962
After the time skip he appears in the mirror again, but bloodier than ever. This means that after years of doing what Big Boss wanted in the name of Big Boss, he feels guiltier than ever.
Him punching the mirror is his last attempt at reverting back to his old self, shattering the image of the 'demon'. But it's too late, because he's killed by Solid and erased from existence (it's why he walks in the smoke).

The audio mixing in TPP is weird. BGM isn't loud enough, and stuff like the helicopter noise is way too fucking loud.

>>379493419
Because he has two themes.
V has come to is his 'heroic' one and plays when he does good things.
Venom is the one that plays when he does/ says villainous things.

I remember reading some youtube comments from some pseudo intellectual about how deep that ending is. Something along the lines of, "dont you get it? YOU, the player are big boss. Youve been the boss all this time. you built up dd and mother base. You beat metal gear. YOU are the ultimate soldier. What a genius kojima is and if you dont agree then youre just a few iq points below the average.

It's funny because that's actually what below average IQ Metal Gear fans actually believe

SHOW YOURSELF CARAMEL.

THEY HAVE PRETTY MUCH ALREADY CONFIRMED THAT DEATH STRANDING HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH SILENT HILLS, GET FUCKED.

>when you realise that Venom signed his death sentence when he agreed to be Big Boss
It hurts. He was the closest to realising what the Boss really wanted. Fucking Big Boss and his manipulative words.

It doesn't matter how you look but who you are

>>379494360
Well he is right. Why else would they make Venom not have any character, as well as a make him be a silent protagonist.

>>379495502
He is a stand in for the player, but only because the player needs to feel the consequences of Big Boss' action directly.

The player is meant to feel betrayed at the end, to want revenge against Big Boss. Unfortunately, Big Boss has become a manipulative bastard, calling Venom a 'friend', despite taking his life away and giving him the burden of his sins to carry.

>>379491962
Breaking a mirror is seVen years bad luck.

>>379495502
there's lots of different interpretations. It's just too easy for anything even semi abstract to attract weirdos like >>379494360 this anon is describing.

You can go with the player insert, you can go with him having DiD and actually being BB. I personally wish the game was more abstract and touched on venom not really knowing what the fuck is real and what isn't. I feel like too much was explained.

A huge issue with this game being the way it is is that it's a series of details autistically being hammered over your head, so people get used to that and take on some authoritative stance on how the game ends, which comes with a lot of people telling other people they're wrong because they want closure.

>>379494360
>YOU, the player are big boss. Youve been the boss all this time. you built up dd and mother base. You beat metal gear. YOU are the ultimate soldier.
he is correct, that is the message kojima wasnted to pass
the part he is wrong is that it's not genius, it's retarded.

People say it's Venom Snake giving up on his old self and accepts that he's nothing but a phantom; he crushes demon snake (his guilt over his terrible actions) and left is just Big Boss.

Though my headcanon says this is also Venom Snake rejecting Big Boss, right before he gives up.
