…This game is going to open with Rosemary and Little John getting butchered or something, isn’t it? >_>
To be fair, the idea that Jack can’t escape the battlefield and just keeps getting dragged back into blood and chaos makes a lot of sense. God knows Snake was lured back into the fray a good half-dozen times after he thought he was done for good. But the whole idea in MGS4 was that Jack isn’t like Snake. The happiest ending Snake can ever hope for is to fade quietly into the shadows and die peacefully a few months after the game ends. But Jack gets the “Beauty and the Beast ending,” as they called it. He gets to find his humanity again, settle down with his wife and kid. After a lifetime of carnage, he finally gets to live. I mean, really live. And I just keep thinking that no matter where this game goes, whether it’s good or whether it isn’t, there’s no better ending they could ever give him than the one he already has.
