#and of course markhor is 'snake eater ' in persian

[fancyshooting]

this is the smallest most trivial thing but you've already started reading so you might as well keep going

what does ocelot think about markhors?

what does markhor taste like?

PRETTY GOOD!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

the likelihood that this is just a coincidence is overwhelming but if it is a nod, then it only exists in the english version. the exchange in japanese goes like this:

Snake: "So, how does it taste?"

P-Medic: "(Amazed) I hear it's pretty tasty."

Snake: "(Delighted) Really!"

as you well know there is no "you're pretty good" in the japanese version. instead, snake says 「いいセンスだ」 meaning "good sense" which is kind of hard to apply to goat meat

#and of course markhor is 'snake eater ' in persian #apparently markhors are herbivorous except when it comes to snakes #wot's that all about! #btw 'you're pretty good' in the english translation mgs1 was lifted from the movie 'hard times' (1975) #if you even care... #charles bronson's in it #he's also in the magnificent seven which is mentioned in mgs3 #it's all connected #where you are going #COME BACK #I don't want to tag this #this is only for true ocieheads #pretty good! pretty good!! an obvious reference!
