Talk:EVA

From the Metal Gear Wiki

For the sake of it I just suggest we call EVA by the Code Name Big Mama when dealing with MGS4 information because that is the name she'll be mainly know as through out the game even thought we all know her as EVA

We were planning to. But thanks anyway? --Fantomas 09:21, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Big Mama

Why did EVA get redirected to Big Mama? Shouldn't it be the other way around? Ocelot youth 15:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Because that's the name she's using now, so I just thought "why not?" People who are new to the series will think to type in "Big Mama" and they'll be confused when they see "EVA"... I dunno, I just thought it was a good idea, hehe. --Fantomas 18:30, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

This is why I suggested we break up the character pages. Now it'll be confusing for people looking for Eva. We have two pages for Revolver Ocelot and Liquid Ocelot. --Drawde83 22:31, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

It would be better to have a page stub for big mama just saying the basics so that new contributors have something to work on.--Drawde83 23:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I don't think she's so much "previously known" as EVA... doesn't the MGS4 integrated site still call her EVA? It's just like Snake is now being called Old Snake.Ocelot youth 01:40, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

I really didn't think this would get this much, urr... "backlash", so to speak. I'll change it back... --Fantomas 06:26, 3 June 2008 (UTC)]

I assume there are two pages for Liquid Ocelot and Revolver Ocelot because (as of this time, pre-game release) they are treated as seperate characters. There aren't seperate pages for Naked Snakes and Big Boss or Solid Snake and Old Snake. Perhaps naming the article EVA/Big Mamma would put the issue to rest, since she apparently uses each name for approximately one game.Major Wolf 22:19, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

SPOILER ALERT!! Does it really make sense that Big Mama tries to save 'Big Boss's' corpse at the Volta? You know what my question is if you've played the game already. Also, does it make sense that she tries to reach out to Liquid Ocelot with the apple? Noobicane

For the first one: yes. She loved Big Boss. She loved him as a person, as a friend, and as an idol. For the second: also yes, because Liquid is her son, and I'm assuming her and Ocelot we're good friends because they both had a lot of respect for Big Boss. --Fantomas 22:39, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

I wouldn't say she loved him as an idol or a friend. She obviously fell in love with him in 1964. Naturally, when she thought Big Boss's body was incinerated, she went crazy and tried to save it even though she ran into fire.

I would say she loved him as an idol. After all, her Paradise Lost army is built on the philosophies of Big Boss (in that, she takes in War Orphans for her army, as Big Boss did in Zanzibar Land). --Fantomas 00:53, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
