I'm very inclined to believe that "She was a bitch" was more than enough to suffice as "explanation" for most people. Especially the target audience of 3-to-9 year olds.

It's like, you go into "Oz, The Great and Powerful", and now the Witch is infinitely LESS interesting than she was before. I'm generally not a fan of these things. At least when they try and ascribe "epic backstories" to what is ostensibly children's entertainment, and doubly when they try and make you empathize with the villains. They're villains!

It's a far cry short of finding out that Big Boss was secretly the HERO of the Metal Gear Saga all along, rather than the villain, is what I'm saying. Most often all you do is lose the mystique.
