Meryl, wasn't weak ..she was wreckless and had emotional troubles throughout the game..which gave her the spotlight as main female protagonist due to the amount of drama her backround provided to the game.

For example, remember the whole encounter in the ladies restroom were Snake meets her the second time..she dumps on Snake with all her troubles and Snake tells her to wash her face and get it together ..thus emphasizing the cold mentality of duty that makes his character what it is.I'm not saying that she was weak because, there are no weak characters in MGS..and if Meryl wasn't in MGS ..well MGS wouldn't be as good as it is without everyone that's in it.(Mei Ling, Nastasha,the mouse that ate the PAL key..etc..) i'm saying she's not the greatest..they(Konami) need to work on making her better/tougher(not too tough ) if she's to return. Which i think is inevitable.

Now if Meryl had some the same characteristics..... of say Sniperwolf for example then that would be a great character.Which i think would happen because of the incident Meryl had with Sniper Wolf in MGS1, yes if they did bring her back she would have to have a whole diffrent mind set, no more trying to prove herself or anything like that.If she would come back in MGS3 like that then yeah that would deffinately own..but if she came back exactly the same then..

[personally i thought Naomi and Sniper Wolfs backround stories were a bit more compelling.]
