All jokes aside, Monsoon is pretty spot on. The very definition of meme goes beyond funny videos and images; memes are ideas and concepts which can easily spread. To become a meme is to embody an idea or concept. And to top it all off, memes are designed to spread. The moment a particular meme gets recognized enough, it will infect all who view it with its ideas, and turn them into potential carriers.
As Richard Dawkins elaborated on the meme "Ideas are like viruses" so does Monsoon extend upon Mr. Dawkins' conclusions. -A meme applied from MGS2 to 4 to Risings: Revengeance the birth, the maturation the conclusion. Lest these are the ramblings of a drunk man on the genes of culture trough extraordinary media on Christmas eve. Merry christmas or what ever your next long vacation is tovarich, toveri, buddy, friend or adversary!
Raiden is a psychopath, and Solidus exploited that in his childhood. Somewhere between that and mg2 Jack managed to bury it, part of that was due to meeting his wife but should have been explained more for sure. We just know he's very mentally ill, as he said "I learned from a young age killing felt good... REALLY good..."
He was kidnapped by the patriots and made him as a subject (mgs4) then after mgs4 incident, he’s body was upgraded into that oh and if you’re wondering he’s aging looks well it went through the years coz... every person ages oh and he’s 41 yrs old in that game
@Benjamin Marston1 1) There's something called "re-playability" and enjoying a game chief 2) Are you a goddamn speedrunner or are you just playing the game in Easy/Normal? Because there's no way a normal MGR playthrough only lasts barely 2 hours
3:26 That shift in Monsoon’s face is the best shit ever. He was just trying to fuck with and demoralize his enemy by gaslighting Raiden, while also making a good point about Raiden’s blatant killing. But then when Raiden AGREES, and in a tone that suggests it’s something he already knew, you can see in Monsoon’s face that he fucked up, and probably would have ended up better off just fighting Raiden from jump.
The sadness behind the "you've lost your mind." when he realises he just made his opponent several times more dangerous and bloodthirsty after Sam did such a good job demotivating him into literally not fighting back.
I like the detail that because Sam was intending to fight and kill Raiden, when he was about to Unsheathe his sword, he had his finger on it’s trigger.
@@TheFirstCurse1 I just saw it as trigger discipline, it was going to be a fight to the death, and you should never have your finger on the trigger of a gun when it’s aimed at something you aren’t intending to kill.
I remember sending this speech to a professor in college once as the weekly assignment we had to do of sending in a tumblr post. He sent out an email saying no posts of the "meme" variety after the first time, trying to be so philosophical and poetic and deep on tumblr of all things. So. This was the first thing I sent directly after that lmao. A whole speech on memes.
@@unknownfactor6489 Unfortunately not, I wish he did in some note! But, it did feel like he was a lot more harsh towards me in class after that lmao. Far more critical of anything I showed or did.
Depending on the subject he tought Monsoon's speech can be an entryway into speaking about at least a couple of things on a deeper level. Evolution (Dawkins) and online culture off the top of my head. Maybe it just wasn't relevant to the subject at hand. Bending memes (the funny image/video variety) into teaching can be nice if it works though.
@@jon9828 The thing for this was he was my poetry professor and said at first if it was an image or anything we found interesting to post it on our tumblr page for him and others in the class to see and wasn't even things we just showed or read to the class in class.

@@purpleperfection6304 How the fuck is Stains Of Time your favorite? It's the worst boss theme of them all BY FAR. It's still decent but I can't see why you'd like it THAT MUCH.
@Rebel Propaganda The Hot Wind Blowing is FAR better than Stains Of Time. I don't know how you could dislike that godlike boss theme. Maybe you're a hardcore American nationalist?
Little detail; when Raiden punches the ground Sam looks genuinely confused, verging on shocked. Having combed through his cutscenes, I can honestly say it's the only time he's ever visibly been surprised, including when Armstrong took his arm. To hurt a man, or even kill him, is one thing - but to shake him up, make someone like Sam worry? That's a whole new level of power. Stuff like this is why MGS/MGR are just fantastic series.
I guess a positive way at looking at this is that to be truly free, you must be honest with yourself, and find out what you really believe in. But at the same time, you also have to accept who you are, flaws and all. Recognize you are human, identify your strengths and weaknesses. In short, know yourself, but also accept and love yourself for who you are.
Yes because if Raiden really WAS just Jack the Ripper, just someone who loved killing, he would never have gotten this far. This acceptance was only one step on a larger journey. It's his unstoppable will that truly sets him free (as we see with Armstrong)
I would be more surprised on why they didn't attack him while he was removing the sword. Like, he stood there for more than 20 seconds, with both of it's hands occupied and his head down.
@@The_D_ray Dude, are you kidding? If I impaled a guy who had killed dozens to hundreds of my comrades and he not only survived, but started laughing and _turned off his fucking pain inhibitors_ in front of me, and be scared out of my mind. I'm honestly surprised they attacked _at all_ after that
Man, there is something intensely satisfying about seeing hero characters abandon all pretenses that they were "Paladins of Good" in a way. Raiden here acknowledges a part within all of us. A Rage, an Anger, a Fear and Pain that motivates many of us to fight. Raiden tried to make some sense of it, to fit into the "Law and Order" of the world, but in the end; he is just a force of nature like the villains. Which isnt necessarily a bad thing, We've seen plenty of times within this series people weaponize "good ideals" to do bad and "bad ideals" to do bad. Raiden here presents the conventional "Darker" parts of our personalities and utilizes it to do tremendous good albeit in a somewhat hypocritical manner. He switches from lawful good to chaotic good in this scene. He does what all of us wanted him to do, to Let er' rip, fuck the talk of ideals, we know he is justified. A moment where the villains hoped to crumble his world view, they instead get him to see clearer than ever before. He will be a raging force for good; forever and always.
4:49 bit of a crack head theory but I think that "No!" is a final tinge of guilt he feels knowing what's going to happen to the soldier when he stabs him. He knows that's going to be what pushes him over the edge and he knows the soldier is going to die but he doesn't have the strength or the want to resist it so all he can do is mutter a protest in the vain hope that he'll change his mind and save himself.
4:50 i was thinking about that "no" Raiden says and i got two options about it 1° Raiden is denying Jack's return and feeling bad to bring it back, but he knows he needed to do it 2- He just saying "no" cause they can't kill him no more
I think it's actually a final message to Monsoon, a warning not to attack him, otherwise he'll stop holding back and unleash the other half of his personality....of course, that being the half that can't be stopped.
He expected Raiden to be just like what said said he was: weak, moral, blind to what the world really is. But Raiden (or rather, jack the ripper) is the complete opposite
@@unknownfactor6489 i think he mean that he fight because of pain, Raiden persona is fighting for the weak people like him when he was young so they don't have suffering pain that he once experienced, but Jack the Ripper fight because he like to kill, enjoy hurting people, makes them feel pain
@@ProudElizabethHusband HOLY SHIT. I never fucking realized that. I thought that it was just some cheesy edgy line they put in that made no sense. But now... GOD FUCKING DAMN!!!
What I always loved about this mission was that you spent most of it learning that the soldiers you fought had their fears and doubts suppressed artificially so they could focus on fighting. They weren't psychotic killers underneath, they just had tech to make them fight like that. So the moment the one guy stabs Jack in the gut and he just laughs? That hesitation as the soldier steps backwards? That's those fear inhibitors FAILING. They're not enough anymore. That is the moment that man's brain re-learned what fear is and shidded his cyborg pants in absolute terror.
honestly, the best part about this is Stains Of Time kicking in just before it starts as you get the zoom in of the sadistic grin on Monsoon. I lost it when i saw that shit
Yes! Im guessing many people don't take metal gear rising seriously because of how over-the-top it is. I understand though, the game is pretty goofy. But some(not all) people don't seem appreciate the game much, and just enjoy the memes. Kinda sucks
I think it’s really interesting. Monsoon is a very apathetic character. Very closed off and cold to the world and an extremely Nihilistic character. But he seems the most augmented out of the winds. Obviously Mistral has her arms and Sam only has the one arm. Sundowner has those panels but monsoon is clearly the least human both physically and mentally. It’s the whole “if you replace every body part with a machine are you still human debate.”
Raiden is entirely machine aside from his brain, though I know what you're going for but it doesn't seem like the intention in design, rather that it was meant to display how much he'd sold his life to Desperado and the PMC life; that there was no going back for him, no redemption of his character he's a prisoner of his own ideologies as much as he is a prisoner of war, they all drove him down a cold, chaotic, relentless path
Monsoon really thought he had Jack with his whole social darwinist speech and Jack basically went, "You know what? You're right. Killing's fun, so how about I kill you?"
Internet memes are still memes though. Ideas that are powerful and influential because of their ability to spread so far and so quickly, even transcending generations and becoming immortal.
Now in this scene Raiden had become more like gray fox the original cyborg ninja... The way of speak, the way of enjoying the pain... How badass they look... Although i enjoy hearing gray fox's voice in the original metal gear solid the way that he speak like corpse... Both Raiden and gray fox was my favourite characters...
this is after mgs2 AND mgs4 (easily recognized by him saying "After the Patriots, (referring to how him and Solid Snake beat the Patriots in mgs4)i thought i could have a normal life.")
I like how monsoon and Sam are almost opposites Monsoon has a lot of enhancements and talk a lot ( like a lot a lot) Sam has minimal enhancements and doesn’t talk all too much
Raiden journey Mgs 2 : "i was trying to be someone i wasn't by loving what wasn't real" Mgs 4 : " i am lightning, the rain transformed" MGR : " i think its time for jack to let it rip.!" Dude just went from running fools errand into a man who fight for what he believes in (kinda ironic since thats that armstrong wanted)
A quote i remember if someone can tell me where its from it'd be appreciated. "I beseech thee villian. attack them, Taunt them, ridicule them, KILL them. But never, NEVER take everything away from the hero. For when you've taken everything, their friends their family their ideals, then they will become something worse than you villain. Worse than you can imagine. They will become a monster. And no one. Not you, the forces of good, the demons and magic creatures of the land, not even the gods themselves! will be able to stop them." This quote rings in my head everytime I see this exact scene and I i cant tell if it makes it more epic or more scary.
Jack, you've forced my hand, i'm going to make an image of you being portrayed as the Crying Soy Boy Wojack image with a Strawman Argument vaguely reminiscent of your own without addressing your actual point, while I will be portrayed as the handsome drawing of a muscular chad character that is framed in a way to be winning the argument with ease.
Feasting on the insides of your enemies. How easily you ignore the loss of life when it suits your convenience. So tell me: who saves the weak from the man who saves the weak? Kill or be killed Jack. Phnom Penh taught me that. Yes, you aren’t the only one to grow up on the killing fields. War is a cruel parent but an effective teacher. It’s final lesson is carved deep in my psyche: that this world, and all it’s people are diseased. Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke. We are all pawns, controlled by something greater: memes. The DNA of the soul. They shape our will. They are the culture - they are everything we pass on. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair... All memes, all passed along. You can’t fight nature, Jack. Wind blows, rain falls, and the strong pray upon the weak. Sam tells me you see your weapon as a tool. Something that saves lives - a means of justice. Now there’s a pretty meme. Exquisite! It’s spared you the burden of all the lives you’ve taken... ...absolved you of guilt when you enjoyed it. That is until the illusion was broken. Don’t be ashamed. It’s only nature, running its course. You have no choices to make. Nothing to answer for. You can die with a clear conscience.

I know what you're going for but it doesn't seem like the intention in design, rather that it was meant to display how much he'd sold his life to Desperado and the PMC life; that there was no going back for him, no redemption of his character
he's a prisoner of his own ideologies as much as he is a prisoner of war, they all drove him down a cold, chaotic, relentless path
Remember Buggy the Clown? this is him now, after giving up on being a pirate.
Heh
Feels old
Raiden getting close to monsoons face :"... SLOW BEEEEEAM"
0:52 Monsoon says:"fisting"
I also hear this))))
what i love most about this scene is the random cat that shows up and the guard gives the cat pets
Love how raidens voice changes, as he starts to accept the ripper part of himself.
Monsoon really thought he had Jack with his whole social darwinist speech and Jack basically went, "You know what? You're right. Killing's fun, so how about I kill you?"
5:14 when you stub your toe
it's weird seeing "meme" used in its original meaning when now the word has been reduced to simply being synonymous with "joke" or "funny thing"
0:43 sam's little chuckle always gets me. it's so anime-like
Didn't you know the entire Metal Gear is anime?
@@mossfinder7516 Please don't compare this masterpiece to that weeb cringe
@@Quick_footy1 I am not comparing, I am -making the mother of all omelettes here- drawing the straight line between both
@@mossfinder7516 cant fret over every freg
@@Quick_footy1 Oh boy someone is on copium
Jack the wood chipper
Europe's meme ban final boss
5:38 Underrated line.
Monsoon is so flamboyant, he wears heels like a true chad.

The Chad: Monsoon, of the Winds of Destruction
1:40 And thus, the most legendary concept embodiment was born.
Raiden speech and monologue was thrilling and I loved it
Hey look, someone remembers back when memes didn't refer to internet memes.
Internet memes are still memes though. Ideas that are powerful and influential because of their ability to spread so far and so quickly, even transcending generations and becoming immortal.
I love how Mosoon say "memes" in a very serious way
Memesoon of The Memes of Destruction
2:05 we kind of are controlled by memes lol
If you think about it, before "Among Us" was released, the word "sus" was fairly unused compared to after.
Now in this scene Raiden had become more like gray fox the original cyborg ninja... The way of speak, the way of enjoying the pain... How badass they look... Although i enjoy hearing gray fox's voice in the original metal gear solid the way that he speak like corpse... Both Raiden and gray fox was my favourite characters...
1:51- 2:15 wise words from a video game
There are plenty of games with great life philosophies. Deus ex franchise can be one of them
@@OMM94 that's what's dope about this media, it let's them show concepts like that in a way that's palatable
Ehh edgy fake crap
Religion is a joke is my favourite
When I first saw Jack become Jack the Ripper my reaction was "Where were you in Metal Gear Solid 2?"
this is after mgs2 AND mgs4 (easily recognized by him saying "After the Patriots, (referring to how him and Solid Snake beat the Patriots in mgs4)i thought i could have a normal life.")
Buried deep inside of him
@@rbraunbeck96 if only he let it out in MGS2 I would have loved his character.
I like how monsoon and Sam are almost opposites
Monsoon has a lot of enhancements and talk a lot ( like a lot a lot)
Sam has minimal enhancements and doesn’t talk all too much
My name is Monsoon, of the sussy impostor
Raiden journey
Mgs 2 : "i was trying to be someone i wasn't by loving what wasn't real"
Mgs 4 : " i am lightning, the rain transformed"
MGR : " i think its time for jack to let it rip.!"
Dude just went from running fools errand into a man who fight for what he believes in (kinda ironic since thats that armstrong wanted)
Monsoon is pretty powerful he survived so much when raiden was in ripper mode
My name is monsoon of the winds of distruction 😎😎
A *memes* of justice
Hah... haha.. ha
Uuuuuuuuuuh
A quote i remember if someone can tell me where its from it'd be appreciated.
"I beseech thee villian. attack them, Taunt them, ridicule them, KILL them. But never, NEVER take everything away from the hero. For when you've taken everything, their friends their family their ideals, then they will become something worse than you villain. Worse than you can imagine. They will become a monster. And no one. Not you, the forces of good, the demons and magic creatures of the land, not even the gods themselves! will be able to stop them."
This quote rings in my head everytime I see this exact scene and I i cant tell if it makes it more epic or more scary.
I learned young that killing your enemies felt bad. Really bad. *starts crying*
I don't know why the way monsoon's hips just jiggle wiggle at 0:33 is so funny to me
😳hips don't lie
As a son of Khmer Rouge survivors, I can most definitely justify his viewpoints?
So... Raiden is canonically a masochist?
*He'll harden response to physical trauma*
For that grunt having his face being covered he showed so much emotion in his minimal screentime
"Now there's a pretty meme. Exquisite!"
Now this line is a meme. Exquisite!
the meme man is coming back
Monsoon: We're the same you and I!
Raiden: *goes bonkers*
Monsoon: No wait not like that
Bro monsoon has the same voice actor as scarecrow in arkham asylum
I have never played this game but I was definitely not expecting the bad guy to go on a rant about memes
2:25 How about "full of shit"? Is that a meme?
No, Patrick, "full of shit" is not a meme.
"No it isn't you fucking amoeba."
This sequence is basically a tutorial on what to do when some tool on the internet gets all "debate me" in your mentions.
"I think It's time for jack... to let er rip!" has to be one of the exciting quotes especially when cool ass music is there after it
I get an adrenaline rush every time I hear it, it’s so fucking cool.
To let it rip!
He's a beyblade
Beyblade Metalfu- gear
Someone: "balls"
Every man in 5 mile radius: 6:43
Jack, you've forced my hand, i'm going to make an image of you being portrayed as the Crying Soy Boy Wojack image with a Strawman Argument vaguely reminiscent of your own without addressing your actual point, while I will be portrayed as the handsome drawing of a muscular chad character that is framed in a way to be winning the argument with ease.
Grass grows,sun shines and brother I hurt people
Wind blows,rain falls and the strong prey upon the weak
It's all coming together
Fav cutscene in the game
5:20 do you know this soundtrack name please?
When monsoon says "Kill him!" i never noticed jack whispering "no"
I thought that was just the minion since Sam made Raiden hear their inner thoughts
WAIT HE ACTUALLY SAYS MEMES!?!? I THOUGHT IT WAS A JOKE
There's no villains or heroes, just nature.
Feasting on the insides of your enemies. How easily you ignore the loss of life when it suits your convenience. So tell me: who saves the weak from the man who saves the weak? Kill or be killed Jack. Phnom Penh taught me that. Yes, you aren’t the only one to grow up on the killing fields. War is a cruel parent but an effective teacher. It’s final lesson is carved deep in my psyche: that this world, and all it’s people are diseased. Free will is a myth. Religion is a joke. We are all pawns, controlled by something greater: memes. The DNA of the soul. They shape our will. They are the culture - they are everything we pass on. Expose someone to anger long enough, they will learn to hate. They become a carrier. Envy, greed, despair... All memes, all passed along. You can’t fight nature, Jack. Wind blows, rain falls, and the strong pray upon the weak. Sam tells me you see your weapon as a tool. Something that saves lives - a means of justice. Now there’s a pretty meme. Exquisite! It’s spared you the burden of all the lives you’ve taken... ...absolved you of guilt when you enjoyed it. That is until the illusion was broken. Don’t be ashamed. It’s only nature, running its course. You have no choices to make. Nothing to answer for. You can die with a clear conscience.
When I first played the game monsoon almost made me throw my pc against the wall
Don't, you have to sell it to pay your debts.
"Troll or be trolled, Jack. Jake Paul taught me that"
1:49
secret on the right keep looking right and wait a cat appears
I didn’t really think he said it and I stand corrected
he actually said memes the dna of the soul
Ironic how his name is monsoon and the fight takes place during a storm
