Fuck Naomi - Tumblr Posts

hi Lina! Just out of curiosity but what is your opinion on Naomi Hunter, especcially in mgs4?

Okay. First of all, I'll always have time to say that I hate Naomi. But I'll explain why.

If we go back only to her era and role as a character in "Metal Gear Solid," She is consistent and quite self-conclusive; a dark character, driven by revenge. I already hate her enough for what she did with Foxdie and for injecting it into Snake… but well, things happen.

Regarding what is narrated in Nastasha Romanenko's book and in "Metal Gear Solid 2," She turned into… crap (in my POV). Naomi manipulated Richard Ames and got involved in the project he had to create Foxdie (Something briefly mentioned in MGS) and the creation of Vamp's immunity is directly her fault.

Knowing all that, let's go to MGS4; knowing the modus operandi she had with Richard Ames (who discovered the truth through conversations via codec), it's even more obvious that she'll do exactly the same thing to Hal. She is a femme fatale, used to using men as a tools for her own purposes. This is an unnecessary pain for him.

I also hate her "Mary Sue" side here: She knows how to do everything out of nowhere and is even smarter than Hal? God, please give me a break! Why did Kojima and his scriptwriter do that? You told us that Hal is almost breathing and hacking the Pentagon with air, creating things and coming up with clever solutions, and then you put him in a corner just to give backup to Snake? in my eyes, they reduced Hal a lot as a character in MGS4, even though I love him deeply in his older days, I would like to see him more involved in the hacker stuff, along with Sunny and without Naomi. It might be more interesting to see them fight for a solution than to have them be under the shadow of her "highness" Naomi.

And I really think that bringing her back was absolutely unnecessary; I still think that part of her lore could have been carried on by new characters because if we remember, in Nastasha's book they tells us that she has the COMPLETE Foxdie research (Please remember that Foxdie was not entirely Naomi's invention. She joined the project in order to make "her" intervention and tilt the project's progress in HER favor): they could have easily introduced a new scientist or a couple of new characters.

I really hate all this poorly executed character "cleansing" in her, she feels like crap to me; SHE IS NOT GOOD, NEVER WAS, AND NEVER WILL BE: let her be crap until MGS in peace. I could talk about it for hours. I feel like there's so much to explain and dissect, but this is the most condensed version I've managed to do, and for it to be understood in my shitty English.
