  • The Doom Slayer has gone by many names over the years The Marine, The Unchained Predator, The Outlander and The Hellwalker. The man who ripped and tore his way through Hell itself. This man is the hero of the Doom series and has a deep backstory to go with it where travelled Phobos, Argent D'Nur, Hell and many other regions in the universe.
    What connection did he have to the Dark Lord, who was Daisy, and what made him so powerful? In this video, I explore the lore and story behind The Doom Slayer in Doom.

      @@joshjohnson132 I mean, myths are as real as any other story telling method, even a lot of biographies take liberties with the truth to make it more captivating, maybe only slightly, but theres been a few times where i will read a biography and notice that the writer contradicted themselves multiple times.
      every generation has had its myths and story telling techniques that are unique to them.
      i wouldnt say books and games and tv are separate examples, as they are distributing methods used to release the product to the audience it is intended for.
      a book isnt written to be a book, the book is used to contain the story the writer wants to tell.
      same for games, tv, and even music to a certain extent.
      many of the ancient myths we see as trying to claim authenticity and truth are usually translations of translations copied between languages countless times over generations and distributed gradually across the world, garnering new meaning with every retelling.
      so, something that originally could have been intended to be entertainment could be continually retold until people either believe that people thought it was true, or end up thinking it is true themselves.
      think in terms of the bible, the greek myths, and tales of king arthur. I have met people who just assume king arthur was a real king. he wasnt, obviously. but it is an example of what i am on about.
      whose to say that once technology used to play games has been grown out of fashion, and we have progressed far beyond the need for consoles to take part in entertainment, and only retellings of the events that happened, such as in videos like this, and the information being translated and reused over and over for millennia, people might think we thought this was real too.

    I'd like to add to the part of where the Hell Priests trapped the Slayer in the Cursed Sarcophagus. A lot of people were confused as to why they did it, if he was basically defenseless while he was in stasis, why not just kill him? Because the Slayer, after being blessed by the Seraphim, became a Primeval. Like Davoth the Dark Lord, which is why the Slayer could kill him and vise versa. Primevals in the Doom universe are unmatched in terms of their Powers unless fighting a higher being. The only beings that can kill Primevals are other Primevals or something higher. The reason why the Hell Priests didn't kill the Slayer while he was in stasis wasn't because they didn't want to, *it's that they couldn't if they tried.* So the only way they could see to stop him was to put him in stasis and lock him away. The only fight the Slayer really had to take seriously was the Dark Lord himself, because he was the only one he knew of that could actually defeat him.

    If I recall correctly the lore of hell implies, they have taken over multiple universes and I think timelines, also that Doomguy/Doomslayer has traveled too an alternate universe version of his own. I think before he got empowered, he was already close or was super human as a marine.
    Considering you have to be very strong or durable to take fire balls of argent energy which is said to be at the temperature of the sun, also the fact he runs fast at a consistent pace and hold many weapons, even before he gets the enhancements like berserk.

    The bane of demons, the harbinger of their doom
    With his trusty weapon in hand, he sets forth
    To vanquish the forces of Hell and save mankind.
    From the fiery depths of Hell they came
    An army of demons, bent on destruction and death
    But the Doom Slayer would not stand idle
    He rose up, a beacon of hope in the dark.
    With every swing of his mighty weapon
    He cleaved through the demonic hordes
    Leaving a trail of destruction in his wake
    As he fought to save humanity.
    The legends of the Doom Slayer are told
    In hushed whispers, for fear of his wrath.
    For he is the Unbreakable, the Unchained Warrior
    The eternal guardian of mankind.
    His hatred for demons burns like an infernal fire
    Fueled by the souls they have claimed
    He will stop at nothing to vanquish them all
    And bring an end to their evil reign.
    So let the demons tremble and cower
    In the face of the Doom Slayer's might
    For he is the Master of Doom,
    Unyielding, Unforgiving, Incorruptible
    He is without mercy.
    He is the Ultimate Predator
    A force to be reckoned with, feared by all demons
    He is the end of all ends, their destroyer.
    Rip and tear until it is done.

    Excellent work, as always. Like you said, it's still a mystery as to how he ended up on Argent D'Nur but many think Hell connects all dimensions and time works differently there, maybe the demons deliberately sent Doomguy there to unwittingly tell the Khan Makyr about Hell, knowing she would want to use it to further her agenda. We know Davoth had his eye on Argent D'Nur when he tricked her into building the divinity machine.
    It could also explain how Olivia Pierce was suddenly morphed into the half-machine Spider Mastermind, what seemed like an instant to us was actually years of agonizing torture and work to build this super-demon, or maybe I'm just overthinking.

      Thanks buddy! Always appreciate seeing your kind words. I think you have a great point there. The Hell dimension has properties that the developers still haven't fully explored so it is highly likely. I like that idea too!

      The thing about the spider mastermind is that it wasn't just Olivia Pearce's soul inside it, but also a piece of the dark lord himself. It says in the codex how it's a union of two minds and before we fight it there's a similar sounding voice ordering demons to kill the slayer before he reaches the spider mastermind's nest.

    @Guiscardr Před rokem +13

    Final Doom’s brief story beats slot into this pretty well: there being nothing left for Doomguy on Earth after Doom II, he takes a marine command posting around Jupiter's moons, ever alert for the possible threats from the new UAC teleporter experiments. That two smaller invasions happen really solidifies a determination to end Hell in Doom 64, as the demons evidently won't stop trying. And the repeated failure of the teleporter experiments would really ram home a resentment of Hell-linked technology and people like Hayden, as we see in Doom 2016.

    When a protagonist only excels if the player’s rage is focused into the speed, knowledge of every demons’ weakness, and mastery of every little nuance of each weapon… When a player’s resolve is unmatched, only then the Slayer can succeed.

    Doom 3 and The Resurrection of Evil might be the link as the Marine in that game requires the Soul Cube to take down the Cyber Demon and was either destroyed or trapped between dimensions to seal off access to the human realm. Considering that the Soul Cube is a vessel of sorts, it is quite possible if it were trapped between realities, that it could very well have acted as a transferral point for the Doom Guy/Doom Slayer leading him to wind up on Argent D'Nur. However, this is if we consider that the events of Doom 3 take place in a separate universe and were transpiring in parallel to the others.

I loved working on these "main character" videos but they take a lot of work so as I'm working up to them, I'll be doing shorter, more manageable videos.

    Imagine an actual good movie adaptation of Doom. Doom Slayer comes home one day to find his home burned, and his pet rabbit killed. The sound of an imp catches his attention, and he glances up. He rips the imp to pieces in the most satisfyingly brutal fashion, literally tearing it to pieces. He then picks up his super shotgun, loads two shells, and cocks it.
    It would be John Wick with demons.
