Crazy Idea; what if..

What if Ivan Radienovich was the

real EVA? I mean, Ivan, Iva, Eva. I'd buy it, and it would certainly make for an amusing and interesting story point at the end of the game.

Agreed. 100%. That really really makes no sense. The two are nothing alike, other than being blonde, but so is Volgin. I dont quite see the idea or need behind your post.

As a Raiden/Raikov fan, I have to say that theory is redundant.

I think he means since the real EVA was a man, and ivan could be that man. Maybe.

Doubt it, could be possible, but Volgin knew Raikov for years, probably before EVA defected, so it is extremely unlikely it is him, if at all possible. Also, surely he would have acted sooner or perhaps shown some signs . I think EVA didn't show up because of ADAM (Ocelot), either due to request or by finding out he would be there two may have caused some problems.

You're right, it is a crazy idea, but basing theories of the fact that two people share two individual letters in their names just doesn't work, I'm afraid.

I mean, I quite literally don't understand what his theory is, but below is my response after reading everyone's replies. (Warning: MGS3 plot spoilers below)

Maybe I should have said stupid idea.

Basically, 4urentertainment had it right. Since the real EVA was male, what if Ivan was that EVA.

I was never posing it as a legitimate theory, just something I thought would have been a fun story idea. Snake knocking out / killing the man who was there to help him.

I wasn't bashing you, or anything. I just didn't understand what you were pointing out, at first. :blush:

Yeah same. Sorry about that. I get you now. I thought you meant Raikov was EVA (blonde woman) etc. And it is possible that Raikov was EVA, though I could have sworn they were American, and that Volgin had known him for years.

Anyway, like I said, not a real story point just an alternate universe "what if?" type proposition.

Aside from the stupid name correlation, it would also be amusing that Ivan got the feminine codename of the two, and may actually explain why Snake had the mask in the first place? I never really did many codec calls, did they ever explain that?

To be honest, I would have liked to see more of the Volgin/Ivan relationship explored other than a crotch grab on Snake and hesitation when wearing the mask in your fight with him. It's never really clear at all what the deal is between them, whether Volgin just castrated him after making him his bitch (thus the crotch grab) and them actually forming a relationship on that, or whether they were like brothers in a battle and Volgin knows of an old war wound, or even if Ivan was an orphaned adolescent in the battle of stalingrad and Volgin saved him and raised him like a son.

If I recall correctly, if you picked 'I like MGS2' then the explanation was that he wore the mask to keep his identity secret from the crew members on the plane.

That explaination is what I heard directly from SIGINT.
There is that bonus scene you get to see for selecting "I like MGS2", though.

Let's compromise, though ~
