#skull face

A short MGSV animatic with the song "Devil in Disguise" by Marino (the first verse), where it first shows Venom (in the "you think the devil has horns? Well, so did I" part), and then Skull Face for the rest of that verse. I'm not even certain it makes complete sense thematically, but the idea came to mind.

I just BARELY got into this in SusAnim but there is something so interesting and sinister going on between Sigint, Zero, and Skull Face with each of them occupying a different rung of this kind of "in control but unseen" ladder as the ladder relates to world affairs and public perception. Like Zero is connected to the Philosophers so he pulls a lot of weight internationally, but the Philosophers are also a secret society so a lot of that weight is invisible and can't be outright discussed. Sigint has access to Zero and by proxy, the world of the Philosophers, but he's a black man in mid 20th century America so his capacity to effect big structural change is limited to whichever of his ideas Zero deems worthy of financing. Similar thing going on with Skull Face where Zero trusts him the most out of anybody, but because he's at that highest level of trust, nobody else even knows he exists. I think they could be a megatoxic throuple if I'm being honest.
