Gotta Love Metal Gear Solid

There is a ton of explanation though. Not in MGS2 because a lack of answers was kind of the point but there isn't a real explanation for why magic is in LOTR either. Its just a part of the world and it takes itself was more serious than MGS which can be very lighthearted and jokey at times. Also if you talk on the CODEC they go into stupid amounts of detail on the tech and mystical aspects of how things work in MGS. Its not fun to listen to though.

From what I've seen, the times that MGS likes to make jokes are some that are just way too dumb to be funny, like Volgin grabbing Snakes' dick, soldiers on patrol getting distracted by porn magazines or most of what Johnny Sasaki does. All of this while either the world hangs on the balance, the world has been consumed by war or while you sneak through a base overtaken by terrorists.
Besides, I've never heard why exactly the Pain could control bees, why Volgin had lighting powers (and got the rank of fucking colonel while being a tool so big that he could unscrew a Mars sized bolt). It just feels weird and out of place. Just sticking some tactical gear on your superhumans does not make them believeable. In fact it just makes them look even sillier.

Fuck it, then. I guess we just have different bullshit thresholds.
