Kojima absolutely needs multiple tard wranglers, because as you pointed out once he was without one, and had free reign and infinite budgets, his games became increasingly stupid, wasteful, and completely Westaboo'd.
Because you can explain so many of his bad decisions from MGS4/5 and Death Stranding as him just so hard trying to be an American Hollywood guy.
And what's sad is he clearly still has talent and ideas that should be refined. MGS5 could have been the defining open world stealth game, you can feel it getting just close to it but falling short. DS is fun once it stops trying to tell you a retarded story and just lets you enjoy the world and its mechanics.
But without that wrangler he puts too much focus on his nonsense stories and cheesy dialogue, and then forgets that the gameplay elements aren't supposed to just be bridges between cutscenes.
Funny how he fired the actual Hollywood writer, David Hayter, doing VA. The guy who also gave up a portion of his pay check for the GameCube remake to get more OG cast members back to boot.
He replaced him with the guy from 24, which was a big budget Hollywoodesque action series. To his Westaboo mind that's way more fitting than boring old Hayter the guy who made like 2 movies and is mostly just a video game VA.
It really is egregious just how much Kojima is influenced by generic Hollywood slop and how much he will simp for it, despite he himself technically being "above" them in most hierarchies.
