I'm just not really fond of Doom Slayer, he was very edgy in the first reboot and while they do turn up a bit of cheese in Eternal, I just don't really care for him.

Not that Doomguy has much charm outside of supplemental material and fan content, but I still like him more.

Same. Maybe i'm just a crotchety old reactionary but back in my day we just needed some random frothingfash guy with a the-doohickey super shotgun and a sicko-power chainsaw to... well I don't think anyone was saved but he definitely killed a whole fuckload of people.

The whole " doomguy is actually a magic space demon with a magic sword" thing has been very "eh, i guess, whatever the kids are in to".

Aren't they canonically the same dude?

Eternal heavily implies this.

actual spoilers of Doom Eternal if you're into that sicko stuffMF-SICKO

Doom Guy goes to hell one too many times, loses his mind, and gets Hulk'd
