Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance from memory... and Big Boss for some reason

[cupcake-plays-a-game]

Watching RTGame’s playthrough of Metal Gear Rising Revengeance makes me realise it is so funny how this game exists like how did PlatinumGames make a hack-and-slash in the Metal Gear universe where the final boss is a 6'7 neoliberal anarcho-libertarian American senator from Colorado who fistfights you with nanomachines so he can get elected in 2020 off of war-profiteering political clout in order to end the military industrial complex

Propaganda

"The weak will be purged and the strongest will thrive — free to live as they see fit" — your classical fascist (in denial) American politician, who sponsored his own PMC Desperado in attempt to achieve his dream of "reborn our of ashes America". You may know him by one of two memes: either "Nanomachines, son!" or "My source is that I made it the fuck up!" (he didn't actually say that, but he definitely would say that). Born in Texas, raised in South Carolina. Played football in collage and is an ex-Navy, also an actual senator. Has enhanced himself with nanomachines that allow him to be stronger than a literal cyborg mercenary. If you haven't seen it, I can't recommend enough to watch his entire reveal as a character in the game.

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance — Final Chapter

[but-a-humble-goon]

Okay but literally the only actual difference between your average republican politician and Senator Armstrong is Armstrong's honesty, his charisma and his will. That and the fact that he actually gets what he deserves in the end.

Mistral’s entire segment is already hilarious and insane on account of it being Mistral (and Metal Gear Rising in general), but it really reaches a new level when you find out this mysterious benefactor and his ideals that she’s referring to is fucking Armstrong. The scene is completely recontextualized knowing she’s borderline swooning over “Don’t fuck with this senator” and I’m just trying to imagine how that even happened. 

Did he go on that big hammy motive rant as he beat her up, and then Mistral was like omg I’m in love with you…r ideals!!! Did he offer a handshake when it was all said and done and she accepted? Come to think of it Armstrong also offered a handshake to Sam after defeating him, and got his employment as a wind of destruction. Is this how Armstrong recruited all of the others, just beating the friendship into them like the Shonen trope? And since it worked multiple times before, it’s why he’s so totally blindsided when Raiden doesn’t play along (because this dude really is convinced he’s the hero who befriends his enemies to save the day, as a foil to Raiden)?

A year ago I started writing a fic where Armstrong topped Sundowner because I wanted to mess around with the idea of robogenitals and y’know power dynamics and allat but I stopped after a scene where Armstrong slapped his ass and took note of how it sounded like hitting an exercise ball
