>The death of the parent and the loss of the guiding light

When did you realize MGS3 was Kojima's most spiritual game?

The same thing happens in several other Metal Gear games.

Always knew, midwits get filtered by The Boss's character because they take her way too literally when she's supposed to be an archetypical character.

She was fine in this game, but grew annoying in later games when everybody started speaking so highly of her like she was Christ himself.

That's very much intentional though, she's clearly supposed to be a saint'like figure. Even if she didn't want that herself. It's perfectly in line with the recurring theme of idol worship in the MGS series

Not really, other MGS games are more about the loss of faith in authority. In MGS3 its something much more personal and tragic (mother/mentor)

How often do we need to repeat this theme in increasingly retarded ways

Its like poetry, it rhymes

In terms of story

MGS3 > MGS2 > MGS1 > MGR > MGSV >MGSPW > MGS4
