People are like “Doomguy is a murder machine with no feelings and his only pleasure is murder”
And I’m like “Dude ended up in this fucked up situation because he was disgraced after refusing to open fire on innocent civilians back on Earth, would rather sacrifice himself if it meant saving what’s left of humanity and had a pet bunny named Daisy”
I really, really hate it when people say or portray Doomguy as just a mindless sociopathic killing machine who cares for nothing other than murdering demons. Doomguy clearly cares about saving people as evident by the fact he looks down at the corpse in the beginning of DOOM 2016 and gets pissed off when Samuel Hayden told him fucking around with Hell was “for the betterment of mankind.” Olivia Pierce also taunts him about not being able to save people, further implying he actually does want to protect people. Also lets not forget how he backed up Vega.
Doomguy may take great joy in slaughtering demons, but that’s just because they’re made of pure evil and he’s a goddamn hero. Doomguy is chaotic good, end of story.
Also, remember how in Doom II, Doomguy literally fought the demons on Earth all by himself, as every other soldier was dead, and he personally flipped the switch to deactivate a forcefield keeping the starship full of human civilians trapped on Earth? He stayed behind, knowing he was doomed to die, to ensure that the last survivors of the human race could escape.
That’s not an evil mass-murderer, that’s a true hero.
