The Doomslayer is simply a modern Christ figure. He willingly sacrifices himself to descend into hell for no other reason than his hatred of demons.

Anyone else see an angry garden gnome in the picture?

Alright then. Glad we could sort it out.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Okay, so we agree there's no problem here?

No one has ever used the Italian singular of that word in English. As a loan word, it does not have to follow Italian grammar rules, and similar to pasta, it can be used both as countable and uncountable (i.e. a generic category term without plural).

But the singular was never used in the tweet.

That means you’re porn brained.

 

They look so damn similar, from the style and color of their armor down to their behavioral traits. Seems like Bungie simply saw the success that Doom had over their Marathon series and thought to themselves "you know what our next game needs? A massively overpowered super soldier in green high tech armor who spouts sarcastic one liners in the face of an overwhelming alien invasion" and went to town with that concept. And it worked like a charm, they cranked out six massively successful games before id/Bethesda decided it was time to reboot the Doom franchise 2016.

Perhaps it was payback for them to give Doomguy the Crucible in the reboot games (which looks a lot like the energy sword from Halo), but I can't help but think these two are essentially the same character.

 

I'm sure you'll have no trouble recognizing who this is...
