This took almost 2 months to make lol

fun fact: doomguy actively chose to stay in hell after saving the earth from the demonic invasion to prevent anything like that happening again by simply killing all the demons in their home turf

Whos here after the Revelations DLC?

This is unbelievable. The concise manner in which you outlined the entire lore and highlighted the armor was phenomenal. Bravo

@keganmemestar4465 2 years ago

This is less of an amour analysis and more of a lore recap, which is fine because you did a great job at condensing it into a 30 minute YouTube video.

Fun fact the armor isn't as powerful as his skin and also should be stated that it is confirmed that the doom slayer infuses his weapons with his power which means he could go to a random store that sells guns buy a glock or something and can go slay gods

and after they locked the Doom Slayer away they went to grab lunch at the nearby Wendy's

I still love the detail that the doom slayer doesn't respond to the Dark Lord's request until AFTER he's struck the final blow. His "No" is made even more powerful because he said it after he "struck his creator down"

The Doom Slayer is a man of his word, literally, singular word.

I think he removed the bicep armor because it simply didn't fit. He was extremely atrophied after being in the tomb, and once he started killing again, he got significantly more muscular, particularly his biceps, which grew 2-3 times in size

0:18 in canon it basically is indestructible, no matter the the demons, or anyone else throws at it, the armour never gets so much as an extra scratch on it

The ending "Let you fight forever, just do it somewhere else."

From the Doomed Marine to THE Doom Marine....

I've gotta say, it's a hell of an origin story..

@KOuntryMuxcle 2 years ago

Indestructible by lore, fodder by game mechanics but still awesome as shit!

@evad__1131 2 years ago

the thing is, even though the suit blocks his agility, he doesn't need to be agile. because why would you need to be agile, If you're faster than any enemy can even process. Doom Slayer is just Him.

I feel like that last “No.” is a lot more significant than a lot of people realize. It’s actually a perfect reply that encapsulates the Slayer’s entire journey. He’s not there for the glory of killing god, he’s there because he’s pissed and he’s going to destroy anything that he feels is responsible, god or not. To the slayer, Davoth isn’t a god, he’s just the final obstacle.

Regarding Samuel / Samur reveal in Eternal, from what I understand Samuel was still a brilliant man who cheated death, it's just that the Seraphim transferred his consciousness into a human body that being from the Hayden family, and he still lived as a human and still got cancer but he still cheated death. I'm not sure when Samuel started to remember he was the Seraphim but I'd imagine it was probably when he learned he could transfer his consciousness into a robotic body.

You know its bad when even the demons pray for the sarcophagus to not open

A person once said, "the Doom Slayer's armor doesn't need to be strong to protect him. It needs to be strong not to break from his own force."

21:40 Remember that the Doom Slayer had a backup of VEGA with him after the end of Doom 2016 campaign. VEGA may have assisted the Doom Slayer in making improvements to the Praetor suit.

In Wolfenstein RPG; the final boss is the Cyber Demon... before being cyber

The Spear of Destiny was used to impale the Balgar Demon, whose right & left leg were severed

But this demon swore this: to seek revenge on the descendants of BJ Blazcowitz
