Well, in Metal Gear for Nintendo, snake had brown hair, and in MG2: solid snake, he had brown hair. So why did they make it blonde in Metal Gear for Playstation? I think they just change things to their liking sometimes, contradicting past events.

They didn't change things to their liking.
They didn't forget that Snake's hair was blond
They never changed his hair to blond.
Solid and/or Liquid Snake never dyed any of their hair colors (why would they do that?!).
It was just the lighting effect in the briefing session that made Snake's hair look blond.
Solid Snake having the dominant genes meant that he had the dominant war capability genes that Big Boss had. Having dominant hair color genes has nothing to do with that.
You see, the dominant gene is the gene that shows up (whether physically or mentally) and the recessive gene hides in the body. The recessive gene is also passed on to other offspring (for example if Snake decided to have kids) and both the dominant and recessive genes will be passed to the children and can either transform to the other side (recessive to dominant/ dominant to recessive) but will be passed regardless. This doesn't mean that blond was dominant or if it was recessive. We don't know unless Hideo Kojima wants to tell us. But it's not that big a deal.

nope.
Snake got brown hair,u can see from his eyebrows(is that right? i dont know english well)
i think the blonde hair was only in the briefing to underline that he seems liquid and because the room is dark. oh,and big boss too got brown hair

No, YOU have you pay attention to the story. After the credits roll a black screen comes up and you hear Revolver Ocelot conversing with the Presdient. Ocelot clearly states that the Dominant one failed to the inferior. In other words, liquid didn't know he had the dominant genes and solid actually had the recessive genes.

but maybe,big boss got recessive genes from his parents,maybe they was blonde,and his grand parents was 1 blonde and 1 dark "haired"

Did any of you notice when you play MGS 3 and get a good look at Snakes hair its all brown, if you play TTS or Substance and get a good look at Snakes hair it's brown with blonde streaks.

Keep in mind that Snake is not Solid Snake in MGS3

I know that Snake is not Solid Snake in MGS3, its big boss, im saying everyone is arguing that Solid is blonde well I think he dyed his hair to not look like Liquid, thats why he has blonde streaks in his hair, because he probably was blonde himself, and before he went in to Shadow Moses, he cut and dyed his hair to not look like Liquid, but that's just my opinion.

Anyways there are alot of sudden changes in games, movies that the audience just expect to ignore. Just let this one passed because I'm pretty sure, Solid Snake is now really intended to have dark hair. if you look at all the conceptional drawings, I think the mission brief from the original MGS wasnt really released. Just mostly what he looks like from Shadow Moses.

that was a year ago when i posted that ^^^^^^

yup.. me and you Jaycee were part of the beginning of this thread a year ago......... i say just let it be..

a continuity error.. nothing more..... no need to argue about the DNA facts or what brand did Solid Snake used to dye hair.. this is my last response on this thread........ just let it die.... no need to continue pointless debate that has been going on for a year on this forum...

If u look closley at snakes hair during the cut scenes u will see faint high lites of blonde like he just quickly dyed his hair and missed bits and pieces of his hair. he probably did dye his hair before the briefing probably at his house. or w/e.

Never played the 2nd MGS game not sure but could the old man in the pic in the pages before not be Big Boss but actually Liquid Snake? No need to be harsh?

Have you played MGS on the PS? He has brown hair in the game. Snake has NEVER been blonde even in the original MG games. Even his collectable figures give him dark brown hair. Solid Snake & Naked Snake had BROWN hair, end of this thread. Someone close this thread please.

I always considered it to be grey. Furthermore, to the person saying that Snake is the recessive one, blah blah blah, the science isn't realistic at all, it's a well known fact that dark hair is dominant to blonde hair, so on that basis you can't use the science in this game to answer the question at hand.

No, if you had watched after the credits you would have known that Liquid was made to believe that he was the twin with the recessive genes when actually he was the one with the Dominant genes which makes Solid Snake's dark hair a recessive trait, which means that he could never be blond and the odd hair color in the briefing scene was most likely caused by the fluorescent lighting in the medical room he was in while getting the shots for the mission and in addition to that the tape they used to record the briefing you can clearly see that is in black and white, so the reason that his hair looks blond is due to the effect that the lighting had on his hair and the black and white camera pick it up as a bright color making it look like it was blond, see there always a rational explanation for every thing in the MGS world.
