Community reactions what the comments are saying · updated 15/09/2026

This week in the comments

A quiet week (22 comments) steeped in nostalgia: viewers stumble back onto older videos via YouTube's recommendations and keep cherishing the Intern as the Slayer's unlikely best friend. The mood stays upbeat overall, with a small pocket of holdouts still bashing Dark Ages.

The Intern, the unkillable best buddy

Fans keep spinning headcanons about the Slayer/Intern bond as an unlikely, endearing friendship — a running joke since the DLC's July release.

YouTube resurrects the trailer hype

Several comments mention YouTube's algorithm pushing this months-old video back into feeds, reviving the same enthusiastic reactions seen back in June.

→ see "The trailer sparks euphoria," a classic since June
A fringe still hostile to Dark Ages

A minority still calls the game a letdown, echoing the wider debate over the combat's identity since launch.

→ see "Has Dark Ages become an Eternal clone?", a running saga since July
Small lore curiosities resurface

Questions about which mod is shown, Hayden's fate, or the Slayer's floaty movement spark small side-discussions without adding new substance.

id Software layoffs cast a shadow

Flynn Taggart becomes canon

Dominant take
12 %

Confirmation that the Slayer is named Flynn Taggart, lifted from the '90s novels, delights much of the community and fuels theories about his soldier past.

« Flynn Taggart, it's official! »

The Wretch, forger of the Praetor Suit

Dominant take
11 %

Revealing that this mysterious demon crafted the Praetor Suit fills a narrative gap fans have awaited since 2016, sparking widespread appreciation for the DLC's writing.

« The Wretch is the only demon that Doomguy respects »

Daisy: a darker trauma than expected

Dominant take
9 %

The girl in the flashback turns out not to be his daughter but a civilian killed by mistake, brutally recontextualizing the rabbit Daisy and sparking intense interpretive debate.

« Man, that frames Daisy in a much darker light. I think it means he got Daisy to remember that little girl he accidentally killed and couldn't save. Can you imagine how much harder that makes Daisy's murder at Hell's hands for him?! »
