RE: MGS vs. KH: One thing that helps me comprehend the MGS story is the real-world(ish) setting and straightforward timeline. The world of MGS was the same as ours until about the early 1960s or so, and the timeline is linear, so if you are confused about something you can just go back chronologically until you hit something you do understand, and then work forward. The story of KH takes place in an entirely fictional world, and it also seems quite nonlinear, so that isn't available.

MGS is a more abstract series overall, much more concerned with presenting themes than narratives. in MGS2 and to a lesser degree 4 even the integrity of the game space falls apart textually.

Yeah that's fair, at least with MGS it's all just on Earth but things are different in some way. And Resident Evil's story seems to be people constantly trying to weaponize the new Alphabet virus or some kind of parasite. Still can't wait for them to fully put androids in since they're not a Blizzard property and we won't have to worry about corruption at any point.

KH is completely linear in release order other than one prequel and one game released after 2 that takes place at the same time as the game released between 1 and 2. So not that different from MGS. MGS even has more prequels as Big Boss became more and more of an actual character.

I fully trust that MSG would be just as complicated as KH if it had as many canon spin offs and was allowed to spend as long in development for a mainline game as KH3. Like if AC!D was canon and MSG5 took 10 years to make.

Also resident evil 7 had dlc that had you hunt down food for an antagonist's birthday party killing horrible fungus golems wearing silly party hats and also dlc that had you play as said antagonist's wrasslin' brother that had you suplexing said horrible fungus golems while eating bugs for health And I’m not sure but i think the resident evil 2 remake has you play as the giant tofu man, again

I feel like the main thing separating KH from like MGS is that MGS is based on a genre that's all about crazy plots that don't necessarily make sense when subjected to Earth Logic, while Kingdom Hearts is based on "What if we took characters from popular movies for tiny babies, and characters from our popular video game series, and put them in the same game?" It'd be like taking Sesame Street, throwing it in with Megaman, and then turning the whole thing into an allegory of the Hegelian Dialectic or whatever. It may or may not be interesting, but it's certainly a weird choice to make with those properties. Especially when they do all this poo poo by piling on increasing amounts of OCs who are unrelated to either property.

Resident Evil is great because every installment is at least a little bit fundamentally different in tone, so when you look at summaries or character bios you get fun moments like "Leon S, Kennedy is a young police officer who survived by the skin of his teeth during a zombie outbreak, barely managing to come out alive due to his quick thinking, tenacity, and help from his friends. He later went on to Rambo his way through an entire Spanish village, a castle full of parasite cultists, and an island of heavily armed mercenaries to save the president's daughter."

The Disney parts are mostly self contained side stories that resolve themselves in world. It’s really just a Square JRPG that has some Disney characters I guess.

Disney is way more lax about this poo poo now know, and part of the backstory of KH is all the worlds used to be connected in one big world. It's possible that will return after the plot culminates in KH3. Disney Infinity mixed their properties all over, so it's entirely possible going forward the series may be allowed to get up to some real hijinks.
