It's literally not. Doomguy appears in the games released in the 90's.

In eternal it was confirmed that they are the same character

That's the Doom Marine not Marine but Doom Marine and yes totally different protagonist which actually someone mentioned that Doom Marine faced off the Doom Slayer and died from the Doom Slayer it's those latest two DLCs in Doom Eternal. I don't know if it was confirmed but yeah info.

I just call the original Doom Guy "The Doom Slayer Guy" since well lore and all.

I know this is gonna activate Berserk in someone but 2016 Doom was perfect. Eternal came out and I just couldn't get into it. Like I own it, I tried twice to play it and quit. Idk, I grew out of that ADHD ♥♥♥♥♥. I don't need to hot swap all my weapons like a crackhead every .03 seconds. I thought the lore went completely off the rails too. Sometimes less is more. Maybe one day I'll try it again. I'm not too pumped for Dark Ages either if I'm being honest. That being said Its still Doom and I will own it.

2016 is certainly a better game than Eternal but I have no desire to replay it like I do classic stuff. They dropped the ball with modding too... and its a bit too late to care about modding thats coming to Eternal unless its some mind blowing sh!t. Kinda sad when a mod like Slayers Testaments feels better to play than the real game counterpart, then again its basically 2016 in the Quake engine with Quake movement so it doesnt surprise me at all really

Agreed.

Doomguy and Doomslayer are the same characters but not the same design and one is from the post Bethesda series.

In the same way that Classic and Modern Sonic are basically the same character they still are separate designs (and I prefer the former).

The idea of a lone marine surviving Hell and back is more badass than a demigod to me.

DoomGuy and Doom Slayer are literally the same exact person. Its just that the Slayer has been imbued with God Powers. This is explained throughout the events of Doom 2016 and in more depth in Doom Eternal BY THE DEVS MOCKING THE WOKE FAN THEORIES.

Doom Guy
- Doom 93/95/Ultimate
- Doom II
- Doom 64 (Secret Ending is literally the plot to the backlore of Doom 2016 with his arrival into the Demon Dimension)

Doom Slayer
- Doom 2016 takes place after the Secret Portal Ending of Doom 64. The lore found throughout 2016 confirms this is Doomguy and that he was subject to God-like Enhancement.
- Doom Eternal fills more lore, showing a video clip of Doomguy being found and enslaved. They indicate he was a lone man, that came through one of the demons portals, with a vindication to slaughter demons. Even shows him looking exactly the same as the Doom Marine on the cover of Ultimate Doom; scratches across the abs and everything.

Final Doom (Plutonia Experiment & TNT Evilution) are not story canon but considered filler episodes/levels to DooM II and Dommguys journey.

Doom 3 is not canon to the Doom Guy timeline. The dates of events conflict with the rest of the lore.

Quake Champions even provided an Easter Egg when they added the Doom Slayer to the roster, the rabbit foot trinket had the name Daisy; which was the name of Doom guys Rabbit in at the end of Ultimate Doom Episode 4.

Doom Eternal continued the easter egg Rabbit reference with random locations you can find a Rabbit in the background.

The Doom Games have more story than your Souls. The Doom Books are not canon tot he games story; but an alternate universe giving Doom Guy / Doom Marine the name Flynn Taggart.

The Lore of Doom games goes all the way back to Wolfenstein 3D (not the Atari Wolfenstein). So its the [id] lore. Wolfenstein, Commander Keen, Doom and Quake are all linked in the same Universe and Multiverse.

BJ Blazkowicz is the great great Grandfather of Doom Guy.
BJ is the grandfather of Commander Keen.

Pretty sure Doomslayer was a reboot character they only retconned because fans kept Hugo awake at night with all the tweets about "Doomslayer is totes doomguy" so he gave in and said. "Doom slayer is OG doom guy now, can I go to sleep please? My phone has been keeping me awake with the alerts!" Otherwise, DOOM(2016) was supposed to get out from Former id Software's shadow of legacy products because they just called it DOOM™ to pretend they're better and cooler than what a bunch OLD GUYS did. OG Doomguy best.
