The MGS games make no sense in the ways that you've already pointed out, but at the same time there is a lot of very well thought out plot that does make sense in the context of the universe that he's built.
In short, lmao it makes no sense and it's one of my favorite series.
The overall plot is honestly really fucking good, it's just Kojima has to put in vampires and a dude who shoots bees out of a gun made with bees. It's great
"He's called Vamp because-"
"He's a vampire?"
"No. I mean, yes, he is a vampire, but he's called Vamp because he's bisexual."
Never change, Kojima.
"I sure hope no bisexuals come out of the water!"
While I will agree Kojima put a lot of thought into it, the phrase well thought out does not apply with the soft-retcons and lot of dumb shit that happens in the games and implied to happen behind the scenes. (A pregnant Boss allowed to partake in the D-Day landings and giving birth in the middle of said landings being just one of many obtuse examples.)
I didn't say that EVERYTHING was well thought out. I also said that it makes no sense. But I do think that a lot (ie not all) of it was well thought out. Things like what you're talking about are I would say extremely minor nitpicks in terms of the overarching plot and character motivations and that type of thing. Also, I find it hilarious that you say Big Boss since he was never pregnant as far as I'm aware lmao
