Can someone explain the philosophy of the MGS series? MGS3 is one of my favorite games but I never understood the ideas of The Boss and how they played into the later series. I get the anti-nuke stuff but the rest kind of just goes over my head.

Let the world be, Jack
Let it be, A-let it be
No seriously, The Boss went to space and had that overview effect austranauts experience. They no longer see borders, they see the world as a whole and can no longer understand why humanity is fighting itself.
And she just wanted for people to do their own thing without forcing your will on the world.
Is that even possible? Probably not, it's pretty dumb overall if you ask me
Zero misunderstood it and wanted to unite the world by controlling it all no matter the cost. Big Boss had a perverted understanding of that and just created his army where borders and nationalities would not matter and just wanted eternal war.
Yeah uhm and war is very bad.

The Boss' will and her speech at the end of 3 are essentially the catalyst of the series.
Big Boss and Zero both misunderstood her will, and created their own organizations to promote her will, and both of them thought she wanted a world where soldiers are always needed, when in reality, she wanted the opposite of that or some shit.
Thanks to this, 50 in-game years of pointless shit goes down, climaxing in her 90 year old son pretending to be a flamboyant clone of her other """"son""""" fights a different clone of her other """"son""""", leading to her real son's death and the clone trying to an hero but he gets interrupted by Big Boss and some dude in a coma so he can talk about how much pussy he missed out on

End of PW sounded like Big Boss no longer gave a shit about her will though. The whole thing is just kinda fucked.

Because Big Boss was autistic and though 'Oh, she betrayed me'.
War is bad mkay? also you can't really control everybody no matter how hard you try, you are only left to try to be a good person and hope everybody else is trying as well
