I just recently finished MGSV, and I know there has been much contention about the story/ending. I want to know why because I think that Kojima has been planning this since the events of MGS2 unfolded. In fact, MGSV is for Big Boss the thematic analog of what MGS2 is for Solid Snake (Ground Zeros for Big Boss = Solid Snake's Tanker Mission & The Phantom Pain for Venom Snake = Raiden's Big Shell Mission), and because of that and the global theme of the sins of the father being repeated by the son (i.e., history bound to repeat itself), it had to be the way it was. He also gave us tons of hints with the early twin phantoms rising from the ashes Ground Zeros posters and David Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World (as in the lie of his identity).
So, when thinking about the story in this way, was it any surprise the way it unfolded?
