In my opinion Kojima was trying to send Snake out similarly to how Frank Miller sent Batman out in The Dark Knight Returns and I think it can actually be seen as a send up to the earlier work.
Can the story in MGS 4 really be called any more ridiculous than most of the stories in entertainment media from Japan that is also considered to be quite good?
I don't think there is any way MGS 4 is more ridiculous than FLCL for example. Yet FLCL tells an excellent story.
