Getting some facts wrong probably but I heard David Hayter never met Kojima personally, nor was he his choice for Snake.
And I think he even retweeted Blaustein once: That one MGS localizer that Kojima hated and is why Twin Snakes exists.
So it’s funny if MGS fans use him as an authority over what MGS is as if he still doesn’t hold a grudge on Kojima because of MGSV.
An interesting phenomenom is when adaptations/remakes/etc make a story change that makes the story worse.
A basic example is I think Games of Throne not letting a female character be evil, so when she does something bad in the show, it doesn’t make sense.
Maybe I forgot what that was because I never read/watched GOT but there’s other examples like this.
Also, was it Kevin Smith or Seth Rogan that wanted to make a reboot of Darkwing Duck where he’s a loser and one character turned out to be fake?
This, along with the Velma show and the Golden Axe comedy cartoon represent the worst of Millenial nerd culture: Abusing different properties into shit that has none of the appeal and feels like outright parodies.
Same thing with what Adi Shankar did to Rayman in that show.
