10 Video Game Villains That Were Totally Right
8. Big Boss - Metal Gear Solid
Big Boss from the Metal Gear series is the perfect example of a villain who's not right because he secretly tries to accomplish something good but because he exposes that the idea of doing good was doomed from the beginning.
The reason why Big Boss is the unequivocal bad guy of the series is because he's the leader of a rogue military group that seeks to plunge the world into an endless conflict. This said, his vision of a world where everyone is a soldier fighting for themselves comes from a rather sensible and sympathetic place.
As a former member of the US military force, Big Boss experienced the misery of a soldier's life firsthand. From the disgrace of his own mentor to the many injustices against regular combatants, the boss has seen it all and realized that war cannot be stopped, but what's worse, the people fighting in it fight only for nations that don't even care about them.
Whenever Big Boss is confronted for his crimes, he doesn't try to act like a hero among the fallen soldiers. He simply lets his adversaries know the side they fight for isn't any less bloodthirsty than him, only more heartless.
