top 5 soapghost moments that happen in the game* >:)
*not sure i’m using the terminology correctly but i hope this makes sense anyway
ehehehehehehehehehehe >>>>:)
5: the cutscene where they first met is sooooo funny to me. soap's little shoulder tap. the way ghost's soul visibly leaves his body. this was in fact the moment that made me as obsessed with them as I am <3
4: graves' betrayal scene!!!!! I love how ghost is Looming in the shadows like he does and soap is right up there with alejandro (and I'm ALSO obsessed with how graves' dialogue color turns from blue [ally color] to red [enemy color] halfway through the interaction. peak cinema). and the SIDE EYE!!!!!!! ghost using soap's real name !!!!!!! I'm obsessed with them ur honor !!!!!!!!!!!!!
3: their BANTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! right after the betrayal scene they're separated and wounded in an unfamiliar city while being hunted down by a literal army, and they spend the entire time bantering at each other over comms and telling bad jokes to keep spirits up. it's soooooooo insane of them <3333333
2: ghost's unmasking scene <3333 (I couldn't find a shorter clip so the section I'm referring to ends at around 1:31) I loooooove masks as a narrative piece (part of the reason why I'm a dc fan <33) and in ghost's case it's SO !!!!!!!!!!!! his backstory is fairly complicated and I have sooo many thoughts about it so for the sake of keeping this at a reasonable length and also on-topic I won't include the ramble <33 but all the context you really need is that ghost never takes off his mask, ever. (I like to compare it to kaz brekker's gloves; the mask fills the same role for ghost and his trauma as the gloves do for kaz <333) and the look on soap's face when ghost does take it off literally lives in my brain rent-free at all times
1: THIS SCENE. THE SOAPGHOST SCENE OF ALLLL FUCKING TIME!!! the way soap trusts him so completely to watch his back. the way he only says a few words ("watch the window") because he knows ghost will pick up on the rest. the raw, audible relief in ghost's voice when he hears soap is alive. the way ghost takes the shot when it could have very easily hit soap instead but soap trusted him to take it. the way they immediately revert back to bantering even though soap was like .5 seconds away from death literally a few seconds ago. they're insane <3
some honorable mentions that were too small/minor to be considered for one of the Favorite Scenes but I like them regardless: the very last cutscene shows the whole team sitting at a bar, and ghost and soap are sitting by each other <333 there's also sooo many little moments in the missions/briefings after the mission where soap and ghost were stranded in las almas where they had some fun banter <3 and there were also sooo many moments where they saved each other (other than the Big One in the list) and like. there are too many moments to count. but they're the ultimate battle couple <3
#dw the terminology was soo correct <333#and even if it wasnt <333333333#anyway i <33333333 am soooo obsessed with them <3333333#ghost's backstory is SO !!!!!!#soap's doesn't have as much detail (there's hardly any info on his childhood) but <333 i've taken Liberties <333#but god.#ghost is literally sooooo trapped by the narrative it's insane#he's become the very thing his enemies tried to turn him into he's dead symbolically and emotionally and narratively#AND his callsign is ghost and he wears a fucking skull mask.#i just <33333333333333333333333333333#when the traumatized babygirls are haunted by the narrative <33#i care them SOO much <3#leo 🌻#the thing i love about the 141 (strike team soap and ghost are both part of) is that everyone is soooo fucking insane (affectionate)#but its like. everyone is a different Flavor of insane. they have Variety <3#yes the game is military propaganda yes my version of it is much gayer and much less government sanctioned <33#although to be fair. they do canonically go vigilante mode quite often <3 and i love them for it <3333#they're a fucked up family of fucked up individuals who do fucked up things to keep the world safe <3 what else is there <333
