I know that's impossible for the kids to conceive of these days. This was while Hugo was claiming that Doom has always been about the power fantasy and a roid-raging hero who is never afraid of anything. In particular, this quote from Kevin Cloud in the ''Doom Survivor's Strategies and Secrets" official guide was quite informative and almost the exact opposite of something that Hugo tried to assert at one point: This got bad to such an extent that I started adding content to the Doom Wiki to ensure that the erasure of history wasn't being parroted there. There was in fact a quite troubling deliberate effort in the marketing of both 2016 and even more in Eternal to recontextualize the series as "always having been about" the themes present in the new game, rather than those being the innovations of the newer games' creators. And the thing is, the originals were never intended as "cartoony." They weren't afraid to use primary colors, or to throw in some sick humor like a rabbit head on a spike being your "pet rabbit Daisy" but absolutely none of it was ever employed in a way meant to make you take the game's world less seriously.
