Well, since we know you're joking, there's really nothing to argue about.
Yeah, Snake was awesome as hell in the first one. The first one still remains one of the great cinematic masterpieces of videogaming. When Snake takes out Liquid in the Hind D helicopter, the camera pans down in front of Snake. As the helicopter blows up, the flames shoot up behind Snake. "That takes care of the cremation." What a fucking badass!
