Doom Eternal - Why The Doom Slayer Spoke Finally Explained 

Fun fact, The Doom Slayer had two different voice actors throughout the game. Doom Eternal: Matthew Waterson The Ancient Gods: Jason Kelley

Stays silent for years Practically just says fuck you Starts being silent again

What makes it even harsher is that The Slayer stabs Davoth BEFORE he says "no", meaning he didn't even say "no" before striking him down. He struck him down first, then said "no." He literally had NOTHING to say to him.

You can see the pure hate in his face when he stabs the Dark Lord.

"I want guts. HUGE GUTS!" "Rip and TEAR!!!" "Demons! They're everywhere! Must kill them all!" "No"

Agreed! The way Doom Slayer offed Davoth was like just another Tuesday. Most MCs during the final boss battle be like afraid of how strong they are and need time to prepare and get ready but not Doom Slayer no. He freed Davoth, tried to spawn-kill him which didn't work, then faced him in a 1v1 combat and killed him the first chance he got. No monologue, no nothing, just a major fuck you and everything you stand for. Davoth was not even a threat, he's just another Demon Imp or a Marauder in a cooler armor, nothing too special. Doom Slayer doesn't have any authority above him, but if he did and someone asked him to kill a seemingly impossible entity like a full-fledged god, he'd do it with efficiency no questions asked. Just results.

What’s truly ironic about this is the fact that not having anything to say usually results in silence. But the Slayer had *so* little to say, that he actually said “No” instead of just remaining silent. Brilliant.

"stopped uttering a single noise" Pain grunts: "im bout to end this mans whole career"

Funfact: King Novak's visual design is based directly on Lemmy Kilmister, founder and lead singer for the metal and hard-rock band Motorhead.

As far as why Doomguy went quiet, I disagree. He went quiet for so long because man (and possibly demon) fear the unknown. Then when he finally speaks, it spreads even more shock.

I'm gonna miss your eternal lore videos man, they were super fun to listen too.

I’ll be honest, when I learned that Doomslayer hadn’t talked for potentially an entire century and no one knew why, I thought it was because he refused to speak until every demon, the beings who took everything from him, was either dead or trapped and sealed off from everyone so they could never hurt anyone ever again. For one this makes him more human, but also it makes sense for his hatred for demons.

Davoth was just another tally mark on his shotgun, nothing more, nothing less. only reason the slayer spared Davoth the breath that carried his reply, and spoke not a whisper to either the spider mastermind or the icon of sin is because Davoth was the only demon that would have even understood what he said

I actually think Doomguy showed a LOT of restraint and (obviously deserved) cruelty here. Let me explain. Doomguy lost his entire life. Imagine losing any chance at a normal life due to the corrupt military you joined. You disobey their orders in a fury, and attacked your commanding officer, causing you to be demoted. And likely around the time you would contact your wife and son, that same military opens a portal to Hell itself due to some eggheads in a lab not having foresight. He watched all demons kill everyone except him: his friends, his annoying acquaintances; his brothers and sisters in arms, his potential friends and other ties; his love of his life and his precious son. He lost everything, and it was his fault, he may think, "if only I didn't attack my commander, everything would've been fine." In his rage of losing literally everything, he didn't care about himself anymore. He wanted to get revenge. Slaughtering several demons and those damn UAC cultists. And, in turn, you temporarily saved earth, only for it to be in vain and teleported to another world before you could fully end the threat. Your rage festers, you still need to stop and end them. And now, your guilt has led you to a gladiator arena. You, overtime, get trained by the people of honor here to tame your rage. You may have lost your other life, but maybe this one won't be as last time. Your words proved you wrong, though, as corruption seeped in the very fabric of this society. You choose not to speak anymore as you caused another collapse and livelihoods to vanish, all while corruption lingers. Who knows how many entire worlds has fallen to the demons' influence. And after you end so many threats to your homes, you finally find the source of this universe's torment, the one who did it all... You. You see yourself, and seek to destroy that monsterous visage. And as you finally do, redeemed by your people, this blight on your life and who know how many more wearing your own face has the nerve to try to be above you. You could've tortured him, you could've shamed him in many accounts, but you chose instead to impale this graven image; and watch the light fade from his eyes, and simply deny your foe their glory in one word: "No." You now realize what you did. You saw a fraction prior, but you literally saved *every single world and its futures that was effected by hell.* Including your own. You did it. You saved everything and everyone. The overwhelming feeling consumes you in relief, in self forgiveness.

Okay, Master Chief in the Doom universe... would he survive, and vise versa? I think MC would struggle with the Doom arsenal, where The Slayer would rip and tear, until its done

it's not the fact that he doesn't do it before, it's the fact that he does it after striking him down

Doom Slayer is an ultimate gigachad. Dude has been quiet for so long that he finally speaks after completing his goal.

He will return when he is needed as demons aren't always from hell in the doom universe.

Wow, what a resolution! Doom guy literally nailed Davoth with a firm, direct and brief monologue! Really many plot twists this installment had, I loved it and thanks for these thorough content analysis! See you soon!

There might be even more to it. If a god is powered by the belief of others, if the Slayer admitted he was the creator, that might have been enough 'faith' to allow him to continue to exist. The Slayer's denial is the real killing blow. "As a god , you are only as powerful as those that follow you." - Aigis Assuming the quote's logic then if he could get the Slayer to admit he was his creator, he'd be able to draw on the Slayer's strength. By denying him that after the stab, death was certain.

I always figured he took a vow of silence, as a result of everything being torn away from him, in the bloodiest way possible.

I agree with you on your opinion and I want to add something to it. I think that the creator admitted to himself that Doomguy was the superior warrior. And that at the last moment he tried to latch on to the last thread of satisfaction that he could grasp: that Doomguy was his creation all along. That the creation finally outgrew the Creator, thus the Creator could feel satisfaction of their final work. He probably wanted to see the same arrogance or some traces of the Creator in Doomguy to feel that he could live on in his creation in some guideful way. But Doomguy knew it right away and scraped him off his boot like mud. Doomguy wasn't a pawn in the Creator's schemes and he never allows himself to believe that because that little thought is the seed of doubt that would one day abandon his life long mission.

What about Doom Slayer/Doom Guy being related to B.K Blazkowicz from Wolfenstein / Spear of Destiny? And then Billy Blaze from Commander Keen ?? They are all apparently related in on way, with Billy Blaze being a distant cousin.

I wish at some point there’s a open world DOOM game with actually starts of the doom slayer lore like super speed super strength Like there would be titans roaming the world and the doom slayer with all his powers has to kill then 😅😅

In the wise and eternal words of the Doomguy himself "No"

What I would like to see is a theory that somehow brings the Doom 3 Marine into the lore of Doom Eternal.

Hey you know, it was a direct question. Way more than any other would be bad ass ever tried to do to get him to speak. And it only cost him a tickle down his throat from getting impaled as its cost

4:25 I like how the Dark Lord farts menacingly

The Silent Avenger, The King Sentinel, The Doomslayer, lending his ears to the orchestra of carnage amongst the deserving, plead for mercy upon the wrath they have birthed. And he will turn his back and say, "No."

So the scene where he breaks out of the coffin naked and he's mumbling "rip...tearrrr" is not him speaking or is there something I'm missing?

"Guts, lots of guts" "rip and tear!" He says those lines too y'know....

GONE! lol I’m dying. At that part. I gave you a sub I can’t even believe this is the first video of yours I watched you have great commentary!

Many unaswered questions...What happened to the moon? Who wreck down Samuel hayden robot body?

I'm guessing that he isn't even speaking english, he's probably speaking an ancient language

The doom guy reminds me a lot like myself. Going through loss and, what feels… a life full of trauma, all I do to communicate is through actions and at least most of them, is not the right way but at the same time, understandable.

His first words were "NOW I'M RADIOACTIVE! WHAT ARE WE DOING TO OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE? OH THE HUMANITY!"

You forget the glasses man ...

Well he actually spoke before that, when he was still a marine and was with sentinel knights, he spoke when he said "rip and tear" and was talking about guts

Introvert Grandma explaining his journey through Twitter

What's the explanation behind the ending of tag2? What happened to doomguy? Can he now die and is he mortal now that the dark lord is dead? Why even preserve his body if he's now "useless"? I didn't quiet understand the end

Doom is the reason I subbed dude don't stop if anything do gameplay while you wait

Thank you midnight for everything about doom eternal,PC all stuff

A man of culture with that swagger souls cup

Idk how I found you bro, but I’m glad I did

Is that a little doggo borkin in the background?

sheesh you’re looking like the doom slayer himself 💪 looking good man keep it up

"Please let me know what you think about this topic in the comment section" No

whats even better is the fact that he says no AFTER he kills the guy. he heard him, or maybe he didn't

Here's a theory, it's a nod to the SS2 ending. Which Doom Eternal has an Easter Egg to.

2:26 I see the russian badgers guacamole gamer fart 9000

Playing Halo music on the outro to a doom video? Truly cultured.

I feel like DS coulda had an orders of orders of magnitude angrier and despiteful tone after all this time, but TBF to the actor, there's no amount of acting skill, probly even voice manipulation through software, that could match what DS musta felt at the time. ^ Also then again, being able to contain the anger like that is also impressive in its own way.

Whats the song/ost name at 2:02?

yes the midmorning guy uploads!!

Could you do a death battle style video where you put the doom slayer against… say postal dude? And account for every game?

Brutal doomguy sounds very diffrent than this boy, brutal doomguy is like: HAHA INSULTS GO BRRRRT

an another video is this going to be a frequent thing?

3:06 how big of a Warhammer nerd am I that I instinctively thought you were gonna say "It is stated in the Codex Astartes"?

You know, I always thought Doom]guy t]didn't speak to teach the lesson of "Actions speak louder than words", but this a hell of a lot better explanation.

Shawty bad with the sketchers on

Imagine the voice actor taking the script for the Doom Slayer and there Is Only One word

Baron if hell: AAAAAAAAAAH

Hearing a doggo in the back... Translation for Dog confirmed.

Push up form pretty good

We smoking that Davoth pack

Is it just me, or would General Zod be the perfect actor for this role.

yk everytime midnight makes a vid about the ending of AG 2 im just hoping for the confirmation that tthe slayer didnt lsoe his powers

Could guts from berserk able to survive in and on King Kong's skull Island universe ?

"Do you have anything to say to your last lore video?" "No."

Whats the soundtrack at 2:02

I love that he’s using the guacamole gamer fart 9000 yes that’s actually a gamer subs drink

I love how your dog I'd translating everything you're saying fir all the other dogs that don't understand English.

They should have made it a System shock 2 ending reference and have his just say "Nah"

He waits to speak until after striking him down.

Do you think Master Chief could survive the Doom universe? And vise versa?

4:37 but in the end it has to be this waaaaaaaaaayyyyyy

He spoke in the comics, didn't he?

I swear I thought I was clicking on a Tank Fish video but then I saw Doomguy and i was like wtf

That was his last wish I would have said said something else for him to know he has my approval he deserves it because that fight was awesome 😎👍

I like to believe that the Doom Slayer is singing the music in the games

But he isn’t like the rest. He gets stabbed, not slashed

Watching this and then playing Quake 3 Arena right after is weird, since Doom does chat with a unique personality(even pulling a "Your Mom" joke), although it's just text.

can you do gameplay on doom 2016 multiplayer

It's all true trust me. Also I'd like to say if they make a live action movie about me I want Karl urban to play me

I’m glad I’m not the only one going back to the HL2 OST (love that background ost) hopefully we got that rumored HlA2,spin off or Hl3 soon

The Doomslayer didn't say just "no", he actually spoke the Sigma language, the way he used his deep manly vocal cords should been a dead giveaway, it was the "no" of disapproval.

You should make a video on if davoth won.

I miss the sword most...

that wasn't the first time he spoke though

Indeed

But he said the quote "rip and tear"..

Doom Slayer speaking like a boss

3:43 the only thing I know for real there will be blood shed

5:12 ¿eso de fondo es un perro ladrando? No te dejan trabajar tranquilo, "Medianoche"

I feel like "No" is such a thesis for the game. It has the same vibes as Neo's iconic "No" at the end of the first Matrix. Just a resounding and unequivocal rejection of all of this bullshit. They all need to die. Not open for discussion or articulation. Just... No. It's perfect 👌

5:40 so you mean davoth is the father of doomslayer ??

Bro saved his breathe for the ruler of hell

Bro I waited 8 minutes to hear him say 'no' Actual chad move though 😂

Let us end this era with the end.
