Mistaking Big Boss for Solid Snake has Given Rise to the "No! That is not Solid Snake" Meme

"No! That is not Solid Snake" has become a meme after many news outlets mistook Big Boss for the character when reporting on Oscar Isaac being cast in the role.

But, aren’t most of the outlets using a picture of Punished Snake, not Big Boss?

yup hahaha, so even this article is getting it wrong

That is an actual quote from MGS2, where the meme came from.

@Vanfernal We realize that, but the title of this article states that people are “Mistaking Big Boss for Solid Snake,” but people are actually mistaking Punished Snake for Solid Snake.

Should have just used the meme to point at Oscar Isaac with. The guy is NOT Solid Snake. Looks nothing like him.

Thank you!

He doesn't have the voice, either. It's going to come off as a bad cosplay with a person doing a try-hard voice impersonation. I know Snake isn't tall, but isn't Oscar kind of too short as well? Like, seeing him stand next to other characters might also look off...
