“Hero with a psychopath past that the villain tries to bring out to prove they’re the same” is such an edgy and overdone trope but goddamn did MGR actually pull it off (with the most absurd dialogue ever written for a game no less.)
Like, ok, so Monsoon attempts to make Raiden see his pledge of protecting the weak is some weak shit he tells himself so he’s not too concerned with being knee deep in bodies, and that he loves killing just as much as them.

And then Raiden’s all “Ok you know what? You’re right. I fucking love killing. The strong really do prey on the weak; No more of this superhero shit, I’m back to my murderous Jack the Ripper persona. It’s time to kill the shit out of weak people”
And Monsoon’s all “Oh good good you’re just like us.”
Then Raiden goes “Oh yeah also there’s no one weaker than people who prey on innocents and the under privileged who can’t fight back.”
