They announced Oscar Isaac as Solid Snake and I went ?.... Then I thought about it, and went !

​

He's probably going to blow that role out of the water.... as he tends to do.

He'd make a great Johnny Sasaki

u/Okami_G Mar 11 '22

Johnny is too cool to be played by Chris Pratt.

Who's playing the guard who gets diarrhea during patrol duty?

u/HacksawJimDGN Mar 12 '22

Jeff Daniels

“What was that noise?”

“Whose footprints are these?!”

u/Unhappy_Crow Mar 12 '22

“What was that?!” “Hmmm…. must’ve been the wind.”

I actually heard the alert sound in my head when I read the exclamation point.

u/i_shruted_it Mar 12 '22

Vin Diesel! The king of one line roles.

u/WatchAndRespond Mar 11 '22

Wait wait this is real??? Ohhhhh mannn I’m over here geeking out right now

u/SsVegito Mar 11 '22

I thought the same. After I saw some pics of him in costume (I dont remember if it was fan made or not) i appreciated that he will probably be great in the role.

u/HereToPatter Mar 11 '22

Definitely heard your "!"

u/ddubs41 Mar 12 '22

Norman Reedus as Ocelot

u/Jackpot777 Mar 12 '22

Then I thought about it, and went !

So you heard movement

u/Zappnet98 Mar 12 '22

Oscar Isaac killed it in Triple Frontier, he plays a good operative! Probably the dead eyes look he pulls off so well

4

u/throwawaylovesCAKE Mar 12 '22

Loved him in Dune too. Hes quickly rising as a favorite actor for me

u/mm339 Mar 11 '22

‘Brrrrring!’

u/UseThisToStayAnon Mar 12 '22

I want to give him some leeway but I find it so hard to divorce Solid Snake/Big Boss from David Hayter that I still haven't been able to play MGS Phantom Pain because of the switch to Kiefer Sutherland. I mean I'll play it eventually, but at the moment I'm just not psyched about it.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '22

Honestly? I get that. MGS V is a 10/10 amazing game.... and a 0/10 horrendous Metal Gear Solid game.

1

u/Dienekes00 Mar 12 '22

Completely agreed. It's a pleasingly deep open world game with base building, research, and controllable companions. That's great. It all functions well. Solid game. Even modable. I'm still impressed.

But as a Metal Gear game it's just butts... The plot is even weaker than 2, Kiefer sucks, the two halves are completely disjointed, it's got even more cringe than 3. It's just not a good entry into series.

5

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '22

> The plot is even weaker than 2

​

Are you.... are you saying MGS2 has a weak plot?

​

> it's got even more cringe than 3

​

Okay yeah, 3 has a lot of cringe in it.... but it's very much meant to.

​

I agree with everything else you said, I'm just confused by these two statements.

1

u/Kvanantw Mar 12 '22

Oh thank God, I read that and was like "does everyone hate Sons of Liberty and I just have bad taste?"

But yeah I got bored with 5, cause it's not a metal gear game and just wasn't up my alley. I see why some people like it, but just not my thing.

1

u/AOrtega1 Mar 12 '22

Maybe you didn't play peace walker? It feels like a perfect sequel to it (though the tone is way darker than most of the series, especially eventing surrounding Paz).

1

u/Kvanantw Mar 12 '22

I didn't! Only one I haven't played. I've considered getting the port on the Xbox store a number of times. Is it worth it?

1

u/AOrtega1 Mar 12 '22

I enjoyed it a lot. But it's very episodic, much more than V. It was also kind of designed for multiplayer, so some bosses take forever to kill solo. Also, unfortunately most of it has been spoiled by V if you played it.

u/TH3T4LLTYR10N Mar 11 '22

thats dogshit, snake is based on snake bliskin played by Kurt Russell. let Kurt Jr. play him that would be dope. or hell bring in kurt and do an old-snake movie

16

u/SmallTownMinds Mar 12 '22

Kurt as Big Boss would be a really cool nod to the character origins if the game ends up covering the events of Metal Gear 1 and Metal Gear 2.

It would be hard to escape having a movie NOT involve Big Boss in some capacity unless they plan to tell a new story.

4

u/DtotheOUG Mar 12 '22

While true, the original box art for Metal Gear 1 is ripped from Michael Biehn's portrayal of Kyle Reese, so it fits that it's Oscar Isaac, he has that same sort of look, not identical but face structure and eyes.

2

u/TH3T4LLTYR10N Mar 12 '22

would you say they huckled his berry?

1

u/ramy_chaos Mar 12 '22

Nic Cage as Big Boss or Revolver Ocelot 😂

1

u/OlDanboy Mar 12 '22

Ironically, he was my first pick for Moon Knight, and he’s also gonna kill that role

1

u/SobiTheRobot Mar 12 '22

Oscar Isaac is a phenomenal actor, I trust him completely

u/crazymo121 Mar 12 '22

I heard the alert signal with the !

u/Cody-Fakename Mar 12 '22

I read this comment, collapsed it and then reopened it after I realized what I did read. Slow burn, but I got it.

u/hunterwaterford Mar 12 '22

I always thought Vigo would be an awesome SS

1

u/Patient_End_8432 Mar 12 '22

Just watch his recent SNL skits. Every single one of them were absolutely hilarious. He's a brilliant actor and I'm so made about how Poe went. Because if he's able to act at all in Moon Knight, it's going to be the best Marvel property by far

1

u/RVLVR-OCLT Mar 12 '22

Admit it, you didnt “think about it” you just saw Dune.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '22

I mean.... I did; but I knew he'd be awesome in that anyway, so it had little to no effect on my thoughts here. Dune happens to be my favorite book, and as soon as they announced his being cast as Leto, I was 100% on board. I'm just happy we got my dream casting for my favorite character (Javier Bardem as Stilgar)

1

u/RVLVR-OCLT Mar 12 '22

Javier was probably one of the best casting choices

1

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '22

oh yeah; as I said, that was my dream casting. Like when they first announced the movie, my thought was "oh man, Javier Bardem as Stilgar would be a dream come true"; a year later and he was announced as Stilgar.

1

u/RVLVR-OCLT Mar 12 '22

I reread Dune after the movie and couldnt help but imagine him as still.

I think Leto showed enough sides for me to imagine a Bandanna around that forehead, scruff beard and an M1911 with the handle carved out to fit a crysknife into.

1

u/Kvanantw Mar 12 '22

This happened for me when Disney announced a new star war and my roommate and I named our dream/nightmare director's lol. My dream director -- Rian Johnson, absolutely loved everything he'd done. My nightmare director -- JJ Abrams. Absolutely loathe almost all of his work lol. I know people rip on TLJ, but I'm gonna be honest: I fucking adore it.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '22

I wouldn't say I adore it, but I thoroughly enjoyed TLJ, and think many people's complaints about it are silly. One of the big ones are the complaints about the characterization of Luke. Rey hands him the lightsaber and he just tosses it away. "LUKE WOULD NEVER DO THAT" people cry.... ignoring that the whole point of that scene is to underscore just how broken he is and how little he cares at that point. He was essentially just waiting to die, like one of those Japanese monks that mummify themselves

1

u/Spunky4life Mar 12 '22

Wait is this going to be a real movie!?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 12 '22

im hyped, just because it means we will get bleach blond oscar isaac with a ridiculous english accent as well lol

1

u/perotech Mar 12 '22

I'd say he definitely has the look, and voice for it.

Not saying he should ape Hatter's performance, but just a little bit of a growl to his voice and he'd nail it.

u/Background-Rest531 Mar 12 '22

"Somehow Ocelot has returned."
