>Solid Snake calls Liquid Snake "Liquid"
>Liquid Snake calls Solid Snake "Snake"
Explain this.
Uh they're two different fucking people, it's not like they're clones
>>387661264
Call someone "Solid" right now and think about how fucking stupid it would sound to call someone that.
>>387661264
This. The only thing ever in this series to not make any sense. Ruined the whole thing for me
>has super badass operative force
>doesnt storm the capital
why are they so incompetent
haha i would but i gotta go drain the snake pfpffff heheehe
>>387661264
>Everybody calls Solid Snake "Snake" on the codec
>Including Liquid when he is undercover as Master
He is probably just used to calling him that.
>>387661451
>Liquid is any less awkward
I imagine people don't think it's as strange since it's just what kojima did, if he actually did refer to him as "Solid" no one would bat an eye
because there's only room for one snake and one big boss
>>387661264
writer perspective, to avoid confusion when talking about A snake
in game, idk, I guess he wanted to have the same codename but call himself by liquid because his brother and everyone else already calls solid, snake, same goes with solidus.
Same reason why Big Boss at the end of MGS4 isn't voiced by Hayter, it would've made sense, but it would've been confusing.

yep, household name
no one considers a game called metal gear weird either, same goes for big boss, a fucking stupid name that now sounds bad ass solely because of the stories attached to that name.

As far as Liquid knew Solid was the desired outcome of the 'Les Infantes' project, and Liquid was the unwanted leftovers. This makes Solid represent the idealized default, and liquid the imperfect variation, thus solid is referred to simply as Snake, and Liquid requires an additional designation. It's a constant reaffirmation of Liquid's inferiority complex.

It's a legitimately good representation of the inherent privilege of white males.
Liquid was pretending to be Snake's mentor in the beginning.

But Liquid is whiterer than Solid...
