Venom Snake has to be smoking a fat blunt the way he be fast forwarding time with it equipped

Since I’ve been replaying Metal Gear Solid V, I’ve realized that Skull Face has really grown on me as a character. I used to think he was one of the lesser villains in MGS thanks to him not having a lot of screen time and him being killed off fairly early into the game, but I realized I was completely missing the point of his character. Out of all the characters in the series, Skull Face might be one of the most important and impactful since he inspired the creation of FOXDIE and more importantly crippled Zero, thus preventing him from reconciling with Big Boss and potentially avoiding the events of the rest of the metal gear series and the creation of the war economy. Skull Face is responsible for pretty much all the suffering that took place following Ground Zeroes and no one will ever know, since he was effectively erased from history. Also, while he might not have much screentime, he certainly makes the most of each appearance and completely steals the show whenever he’s on screen.
