Comment out some Zero Context Example. Epiphanic Prison goes straight to escaping and say nothing about the prison part, and so is just misused.

Cloning Blues has been renamed to Clone Angst and redefined to only be about people angsting about being a clone.


* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:Subverted. Snake starts to get depressed when he realizes he's really an AI recreation of Big Boss at the end of Peace Walker, but Rushmore steps in to point out that Snake is a RedeemingReplacement. When he gets to the final simulation against Ocelot, only Amanda's freaking out about not being "real", but Snake [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan snaps her out of it]], and Strangelove is actually thrilled to be a subject of the very technology her original pioneered.]]

The last thing [[Franchise/MetalGear Snake]] remembers is a monster storm battering Mother Base, the offshore headquarters for his mercenary company. Afterward, he and a small number of allies find themselves washed upon the shore of a brave new world, with nothing but the simplest of weapons to defend themselves with. As they try to dig themselves out of the Stone Age, Snake discovers that his neighbors are some of history's most notorious warlords and conquerors, most of whom have some sort of weird superpower. Can Big Boss and his Army Without a Nation build a civilization to stand the test of time, or is the Legendary Mercenary doomed to an eternity of war?

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Snake gives a lengthy one to [[spoiler:Ocelot]] during the final battle, until the latter is so broken that he tells his forces to stand down. In the same speech he also gives one to ''himself'', and by extension [[spoiler:his historical self in absentina]] over keeping a nuke at Mother Base, wondering to himself if he was such a BloodKnight that he really just wanted an excuse to fight the whole world, and after [[spoiler:conquering the world twice over, he's realized how pointless and trivial it is.]]
--> '''Snake''': You know what else I’ve learned in the past two years? It doesn’t matter what the hell your good intentions are. Make everything peaceful, make everyone know the joy of combat, make everyone free, advance your country beyond others, fight off the uncultured masses, whatever. Everyone wants to make the world a better place. But life is short. Most of us never get to live to see our dreams fulfilled. So then history judges us on what we did. The actions we took in pursuit of our dream. And what did you do? Huh? WHAT DID YOU DO?\\
'''[[spoiler:Ocelot]]''': I…\\
'''Snake''': [[spoiler:Stabbed everyone in the back until there were no backs left to stab. Made more money than anyone else and spent it all on war, which just pisses away the greatness of human life. Tried to turn all of civilization into an engine that had no purpose but to destroy itself.]] That’s your legacy. “Know the fullness of life?” Really? You made life not worth living. For anyone.\\
'''[[spoiler:Ocelot]]''': But it's [[spoiler:your dream!]]\\
'''Snake''': [[spoiler:[[HeelRealization I was wrong.]] You need to stop. And I…I need to stop. We don’t need to fight anymore.]] …god, what the fuck was I even doing keeping that nuke at Mother Base… did I want the whole world to have an excuse to gang up on me, so I could fight them all? [[spoiler:Now that I actually have fought off a whole world…it seems so trivial.]]
