Liquid was just fucking class anyway. Who else can shoot two F-16s down with a Hind-D in a blizzard? Plus it was the same guy who played Kanada in Akira among other things.

It was the distraction that the Colonel made for Snake...where we see someone in the beginning leave in a HIND-D.

Later they go into that the HIND shot down both F-16s.

Solidus was pussy compared to Liquid.

Never really saw Liquid kill anyone himself though- for example, him killing Grey Fox in person, rather than just using Metal Gear Rex, would've been cool.

We just don't see any prowess- like really, how hard is it to kill one guy, even if he's some sort of 'Cyborg Ninja', with Metal Gear Rex? Basically, all we know is that he somehow kills two Vipers with a HIND-D, kills Grey Fox with a mech ten times his size, getting his arse kicked by Snake througout. I would've liked to *see* him "act like a Snake", so to speak. Show, don't tell, in essence.

But he was English and every bad guy from Hollywood is English and the English are all inherently evil as Hollywood has shown us and don't play fair (because they burnt churches full of innocents like in that documentary, The Patriot) and so beating a single master soldier with a nuclear equipped walking tank with twin-Vulcan cannons, ATGM missile launchers and a freakin' free-electron laser is the absolute English thing to do!

Though Cornwallis and Tavington's Torie subordinate weren't psychotic.

That Tavington guy was the best part about that shitty movie. I cheered when he killed Heath Ledger.

I think Tavington was actually based on a real guy.
