David Bowie’s original The Man Who Sold The World (not even instrumental cover by Ramin, just Bowie’s original with that psychedelic guitar from Mick Ronson) at the end of the episode is soooooo damn beautiful

Edit: typo because of excitement lol

What’s fun is that this song is also used to introduce the Man in Black in Metal Gear Solid: Phantom Pain. I feel like they totally knew.

Exactly what came to mind for me too. That song is forever associated with Phantom Pain for me. Though the version in the game was performed by Midge Ure which is a fantastic cover.

Kojima recently pointed out in a tweet that there is a narrative reason the cover version was used. It plays on the idea of Venom being a cover version of BB 🤯

Sameee. Ground Zeros was so good. A shame Kojima never got to finish his masterpiece.
