So I don't quite want to restart the "was Strangelove/Boss reciprocated or not" thing, but I just now realized that I do kinda wonder whether the Boss would be more proud of Otacon as a son than she would be/is of Adamska and John?
Because I sorta feel like she kinda would have to be.
The Boss's thing is loyalty, and Ocelot is. Not. Also he's a crazy torture cowboy that overrelies on showing off and tricks.
Also his end goal was the world devolving into chaos and endless war and. I sorta feel like that's the last thing she'd ever want.
...One of my favorite things about the Boss and Ocelot in MGS3 is the palpable air of disappointment she has in him. In this AU where they live together, I really want to see more of it, and the way she snarks at him about how he would be just as bad at health class as Volgin is such a good example of it.
Big Boss has 99 problems and he's all of them.
The Boss was interested in science and felt understanding it was important, and Philanthropy's "To Let The World Be" really does seem like the most succinct summary of her beliefs.
Yeah Otacon was probably a lot closer to The Boss' actual meme than Ocelot ever was. So y'know. Good job, Strangelove. Though Ocelot is loyal, just to one specific guy he didn't meet until he was 20 and the way he goes about carrying out BB's orders/doing what he thinks BB would want him to do even if he's not actually right about that is... interesting, to say the least. But there is loyalty there. Hell, there's enough loyalty there that he does measure up to his mom in one arena, if you ask me.
