Punch Clock Hero Discussion
Working Title: Punch Clock Hero: From YKTTW

Vulpy: I disagree with Solid Snake as a Punch Clock Hero, frankly. I might agree that he started as a soldier primarily, by the end of the first MGS game, he could have easily retired. And he tried to. But he always finds his way back, despite the vicious Plot Relevant Age Up. Snake tries to convince us that he's just an old soldier, but didn't Raiden have a speech in MGS 2 about heroics being made of more than a sense of duty? I see Snake as more of a Martyr, trying to suffer himself so the rest of the world doesn't have to.
