    They were right.

    Kojima should just direct a shitty movie where he gets to hang out with actors and tell them to do weird shit. That’s what he actually wants.

      It won’t happen because whatever movie he made would suck. He’s currently carried by the much lower standards for writing in video games. He’s just a Japanese David Cage with less shitty views.

        You’re not wrong perhaps fundamentally as yes MGS itself got some very messy writing, retcons and shit, but I also feel like “movie standards” seems like a strawmen at this point after about 15 years of capeshit, disney shit, sequels and reboots most of which are still extremely profitable and somewhat successful have just lowered those standards significantly.

        People like Nolan have achieved legendary success with barely above average quality overall so I’d put him a possibly like a Nolan tier below at the start, definitely above with experience. If the average person can say the love Nolan shit then Kojima would be more than fine. Standards are just as much about what the audience is willing to call good or bad.

        Sure I’d agree the best movies in history are on a completely different level of what he could possibly achieve, this is undeniable but you don’t need to reach that level.

          I think I agree . If Zach Snyder is allowed to make movies …whats the harm at letting Kojima make some movies ? Like I dont think Kojima is like a god tier story teller but im sure he could do better than Zach Snyders Rebel Moon.
