Alright, this “Doomguy should be pope” meme going around is kind of irritating me because it’s based on information from the Doom novels that don’t really follow the canon of the games and go off into batshit stupid territory (the demons are actually aliens disguised as demons to frighten us, for example.) Flynn Taggart is not the Doomguy from the video games. We have no idea what the true Doomguy’s religious beliefs are because that is completely irrelevant to the act of slaughtering hellspawn.

HOWEVER! I would like to point out that Doomguy straight up dies at the end of the first episode of the original Doom, only for him to come back to life somehow. He then proceeds to keep kicking demon ass like death ain’t a big deal. Doomguy dies for our sins, then makes the demons die for theirs.

Why does Doomguy need to be pope when he’s already a demon-slaying, shotgun-slingin’, space JESUS?
