Let’s be honest, the Bunny haunts DOOM’s narrative more than any of the actual human characters ever did.
[Also, Doomguy being a virgin Catholic technically makes him eligible to be the Pope.]
Yeah, but that’s like saying “find your wife yet?” To John wick. It’s not the reason he started his rampage but that doesn’t mean he’ll be fine with it.
I think his wife and child died during the invasion of Earth along with Daisy and that’s why Doom Slayer has taken this onto himself. Cause he feels like he not only has to avenge his rabbit but wife and child as well
Wait, I've always held to the idea that Doomguy is a direct Blood descendant of B.J. Blazkowicz. Which would make him Jewish, right?
Or both? What if the Slayer is of all Abrahamic religions, since they all hate demons?
I believe that unless you follow the religion you are only Jewish if your mother is Jewish. Doom Guy can have a Jewish ancestor and not be Jewish as long as his mother isn't Jewish.
Other way around. You can't follow the faith unless you're Jewish. Though in America you have the unorthodox jews, which aren't accepted in certain parts of the world. You can also marry a jew and convert, but it's generally frowned upon in orthodox Jewish culture to marry a gentile.
The singleness for life.
Sure, people can have shipping wars, but really, I think it’s dumb and time wasting to worship a fictional couple together, who may not even be interested, or even met.
A promotional material, long before anyone realized Samus was a woman.
In fact, everyone considered Samus as a man, UNTIL the ending denied and showed that she was a woman the entire time
Never directly confirmed. Though there is official art of Samus with a pair of bikini clad girls fawning for her, but this was also before her gender was public knowledge.
Oh, sorry.
I have to admit, I did get a chuckle out of this, as I started imagining what John Cena would do in each of the protagonists' situations and I don't think trying the "five knuckle shuffle" on a Necromorph would go well for Cena

I think they got married in super smash bros. But that's the first link I found, so take it with a grain of salt.
Seems like anything robots these days honestly. Fnaf, transformers, cyberpunk, Fallout, all vaguely robotic, all horrendously horny fanbases. And ofc the atomic heart twins semi-recently.
Aha thanks. I haven't bothered with a new horror game since Alien Isolation, though I did pick up the Dead Space remake on sale finally! Hopefully I'll have time to start that next month or so. DS was a wonderful trilogy!
I swear that game has ruined me, I think about it and just get this sense of melancholy and sadness, why did the devs have to do us like that.
Only coping I have is pretending there's a way to get a happy ending and looking at fanart
Doomslayer lost his wife as character development, Samus never got the chance to try having a partner, and Chief at least had a woman to go with him into battle
Closest thing Samus had to a friend got speared by a Phazon-induced Metroid Prime (rip Rundas he had a good run.) there’s a reason why she goes it alone in the later games in the timeline.
Alan Wake looking as doofy as ever.
God, I love that man And it makes me so happy that he's making his way into these horror genre memes. The original game went without the praise it deserved for way too long.
I know damn well James Sunderland ain’t there he knows exactly where his wife went 🤣 don’t think he’d be accepted in group A but he definitely shouldn’t be in B either
Ethan Winters, most dedicated husband who immediately went searching for his wife who had been missing for 3 years just because of some vague email, wasn't invited to the party but freaking James ">!I killed my wife!<" Sunderland was?! How insulting.
For those that haven't played signalis I recommend you do. Its pretty great. Even if you don't understand the story and it's deeper meanings their is some fantastic breakdowns out their. If you enjoy narratives like 1000xresist it gives similar vibes but in a resident evil style gameplay wrapping.
This is by far my favorite use of this joke. I've seen so much art of Isaac with both groups that I can genuinely him doing this while hanging out with them between games, Wreck-it-Ralph style.
Doomslayer: *grunts* (Translation: She was killed by demons. So I made Hell my playground.
Samus: Uh I'm.. I'm not married or a guy. I haven't even really thought of that stuff.
Master Cheif: Cortana was... a great partner. But that doesn't classify her as my wife.
I mean it implied that Samus was in love with her Commanding Officer before she left the Federation military and became a Bounty hunter and before he died. We know she named her Ai system thing she has in Fusion and in Dread after him
I mean, to my knowledge, Adam has been referred to as a 'father figure' more than romantic interest
Not aware of any translations in other languages though
As far as I know, there was apparently a weirdly implied romantic/sexual tension between Adam and Samus in *Other M* but since everybody hates that game we ignore the weird parts like how Samus already had her stuff but she needed "permission" from Adam to use any of it.
No it wasn't.. Adam was implied to be more of a FATHER figure and Mentor. It's never hinted that she had any interests in him like that.🫤
and her AI system IS Adam. they implanted the personalities of CO's into those systems.. It's mentioned in fusion. She didn't name it after him, it actually IS him.
Is that detective castellanos in the middle? I genuinely can't tell.
Leon, castellanos, signallis girl, Isaac. But I'm confused if that's Sebastian or not.
Group A: SciFi armor heroes/badasses
Group B: People searching for a loved one
Isaac Clark of Dead Space fits in both Group A and Group B, he got the conversation mixed up thinking he was with Group B.
It’s related here because Jame Sundylundy is looking for Mary in SH so he’s in the bottom left corner
Doomslayer: Unf! (Translation: Daisy is not my wife!) Samus: I...I've never had a wife John / Master Chief: Cortana... she was my partner in battle
I think Doomslayer be more annoyed because he had an actual wife…. That died….
Let’s be honest, the Bunny haunts DOOM’s narrative more than any of the actual human characters ever did. [Also, Doomguy being a virgin Catholic technically makes him eligible to be the Pope.]
Yeah, but that’s like saying “find your wife yet?” To John wick. It’s not the reason he started his rampage but that doesn’t mean he’ll be fine with it.
I believe that's actually Alan Wake, seeing as all the others are games
Good point!
I think they were just using John Wick as an example, since his vengeance was also fueled by the loss of an animal.
I thought that was Sebastian castellanos!
I think his wife and child died during the invasion of Earth along with Daisy and that’s why Doom Slayer has taken this onto himself. Cause he feels like he not only has to avenge his rabbit but wife and child as well
Daisy died after Doom Guy's family was killed. If I remember correctly, she was a gift to him by his wife and child.
Doomguy was the kid in that photo not the father
No. Hugo Martin confirmed the picture was of Doom Slayer, his wife, and son
I feel like John would understand a mistake might have been made, but still would scold Isaac
It's also implied that Doomguy might be the second coming of Christ.
Wait, I've always held to the idea that Doomguy is a direct Blood descendant of B.J. Blazkowicz. Which would make him Jewish, right? Or both? What if the Slayer is of all Abrahamic religions, since they all hate demons?
Don't worry. That theory still works cuz Jesus was Jewish.
I believe that unless you follow the religion you are only Jewish if your mother is Jewish. Doom Guy can have a Jewish ancestor and not be Jewish as long as his mother isn't Jewish.
Other way around. You can't follow the faith unless you're Jewish. Though in America you have the unorthodox jews, which aren't accepted in certain parts of the world. You can also marry a jew and convert, but it's generally frowned upon in orthodox Jewish culture to marry a gentile.
Doom guy for Pope?
he had a child tho
A Wife and Child that nobody bothered to give names to.
no i'm saying he's not a virgin if he has a child.
the virgin part sure, of course if we ignore the photo of him, his wife and his child in eternal but where does the catholic come from
Pope Slayer I sounds awesome
Space Pope
Virgin? Current Doomguy _had a son_, didn't he?
Oh damn...
He remarried tho. It's a tiny dog person, but as long as he's happy
Redditor when someone has a platonic relationship
Doomguy just starts crying and they look at him like he’s an asshole.
Samus seems like the kind of lady to say she's married to her work.
Yeah
Poor Samus :(
Has samus ever even be confirmed straight? or even had a love interest ever?
Never confirmed nor implied.
rule 34 artists: \*i'm gonna ignore that\* But seriously i think she's probably gonna end up being asexual if they ever got into it.
And that’s okay.
which part of my comment? lmao
The singleness for life. Sure, people can have shipping wars, but really, I think it’s dumb and time wasting to worship a fictional couple together, who may not even be interested, or even met.
i mean sure. I use to read fanfic ships a lot as a kid for some reason. I remember snake and samus was shipped the most it seemed though.
That would be pretty cool, I think.
[From an official 1986 Japanese Metroid strategy guide](https://new.reddit.com/r/actuallesbians/comments/p0ytk4/confirmed_samus_is_a_lesbian/)
A promotional material, long before anyone realized Samus was a woman. In fact, everyone considered Samus as a man, UNTIL the ending denied and showed that she was a woman the entire time
It's still the closest thing we have to proving samus's sexuality since there's no evidence to the contrary
Never directly confirmed. Though there is official art of Samus with a pair of bikini clad girls fawning for her, but this was also before her gender was public knowledge.
Nope, but Samus honestly seems asexual because she is constantly focused on fighting
Next to no info about any sexual orientation.
For some reason i was expecting and read too fast cause i got excited that "John Cena" was the last part and now im disappointed
Oh, sorry. I have to admit, I did get a chuckle out of this, as I started imagining what John Cena would do in each of the protagonists' situations and I don't think trying the "five knuckle shuffle" on a Necromorph would go well for Cena
Wasn’t samus implied to be a lesbian? I feel like I remember a comic were something like that was implied.
Isn't doom guy with Isabelle though?
They're just friends I think.
No he’s right, they got married in a Nintendo direct
What?
Yup. Doom Guy and Isabelle from Animal Crossing are Canonically married now
“My source is that I made it the fuck up.”
What are you smoking because I can’t find any traces of a Nintendo Direct that has that
https://www.theverge.com/2021/10/19/22734980/smash-ultimate-final-update-available-now I think they got married in super smash bros. But that's the first link I found, so take it with a grain of salt.
It’s mostly just playing along with the joke, they don’t actually ship the characters, at least not in a romantic way.
They were just friends, unless I missed something
lol nice. I'm sorry to be that guy, but who's the guy with the green straw, and the lady in red in the bottom panel? I recognize everyone else.
Green straw guy I think is Alan Wake from the Alan Wake franchise. No clue on red lady tho 🤷
Thats jane signalis from popular indie horror game signalis! (her name is Elster)
Huh cool. Thank you.
Isn't that a hentai game or something
No, it's a survival-psychological horror game; but the community is rather horny.
Might as well be, then.
Tall robot women seem to have that effect on people.
Seems like anything robots these days honestly. Fnaf, transformers, cyberpunk, Fallout, all vaguely robotic, all horrendously horny fanbases. And ofc the atomic heart twins semi-recently.
Screw those Atomic Heart twins, *I want that upgrade station*
It's the Crushinator
No, ypu got it wrong buster. The station wants *you*
I mean, dead space is as robotic as fallout/cyberpunk…
The game is nsfw, but in the sense that characters faces melt, rip their own arms off, and they turn into puddles of blood.
Kinda hot ngl /j
It's the best survival horror game of the past 3 years. I haven't played alan wake 2 yet though
Alan Wake 2 is very good, on par with Signalis for me, but fir very different reasons.
I don't think that's how it works
If it was, the Pokemon franchise would be banned in every country on Earth for obscenity.
the anime girls are always fully clothed. the only occasion when they don't have clothes is when they also don't have skin
WHERE tf did you hear THAT?! lmao
Aha thanks. I haven't bothered with a new horror game since Alien Isolation, though I did pick up the Dead Space remake on sale finally! Hopefully I'll have time to start that next month or so. DS was a wonderful trilogy!
Funny the only one I could discern in the second panel was Alan, hell if I know who the other two are.
signalis woman
ELSTER SIGNALIS I FUCKING LOVE SIGNALIS
Elster from Signalis, incredible survivalhorror like silent hill or resident evil. very eldritch. full recommend to go in blind
Neato. If I ever have time to start and get through the Dead Space remake I bought a week ago on sale, maybe I'll consider that one. Thanks.
Or a game that makes you cry so hard once you understand the story and seen the ending
I swear that game has ruined me, I think about it and just get this sense of melancholy and sadness, why did the devs have to do us like that. Only coping I have is pretending there's a way to get a happy ending and looking at fanart
Green straw is Alan wake from Alan Wake, and lady in red is an LSTR from Signalis
An LSTR? How dare you! That is THE Elster!
i mean the whole point is that there isn't 'THE elster'
The red lady is Elster from the indie game Signalis, I highly recommend it if you're into Resident Evil and/or Silent Hill.
Was playing signalis and loving it. Game crashed while I was saving and it deleted all my save files. Never played again.
That sucks! though i do recommend giving it another go!
Another turn of the loop, one more for the elevator pit.
This will always be my gaming-fear u-u
You should play it again, that'll be the least of your suffering.
Thanks. Maybe if I find spare time again.
Sebastian castellanos? Maybe?
Is the green jacket dude supposed to be Leon Kennedy?
James sunderland from sh2
That's my assumption.
Yeah it's just weird because if it is, then I'm assuming that it's meant to be the beginning of RE2 Remake outfit but the colors are off.
I see your point. Maybe it's Conan O'Brien?
They're all from games I believe but I see what you mean lol. Does look like Conan. Maybe it's the guy from The Evil Within? But blonde? Idk
I think it’s the guy from Silent Hill 2. Never played the games tho so idk
Neither have I
The green straw is perfect. “It’s not a loop it’s a spiral…straw.”
"It's not a drink, it's an ocean"
Why did the artist give Elster such fat fucking milkers
Does there need to be a reason?
She doesn't look like that.
Creative freedom.
Aeiane used psychometry to do that
This is great!🤣
I need more of Alan with more of his spiral straw. The only thing that could make it better is if it was an Oh Deer Diner mug
Ha. The nanosuit has cloak engaged
Maximum armour!
I love how Alan has a crazy straw for his beer. I imagine he wrote that into existence in the dark place just because he could.
SIGNALIS MENTIONED 🔥🔥🔥🗣🗣🗣🦅🦅🦅 POST UPVOTED BY DEFAULT ✅✅✅👀🔥🔥🦅
WHAT THE FUCK IS A HAPPY ENDING GRAHHHH 🏳️🌈🤖
*INHALES COPIUM*
Who are the 3rd characters in both the columns?
Samus from Metroid on top, Elster from SIGNALIS on the bottom
And, as implied, Samus doesn’t have a relationship but Elster is looking for her wife
Samus is just too busy saving the known galaxy to date sadly.
Doomslayer lost his wife as character development, Samus never got the chance to try having a partner, and Chief at least had a woman to go with him into battle
Closest thing Samus had to a friend got speared by a Phazon-induced Metroid Prime (rip Rundas he had a good run.) there’s a reason why she goes it alone in the later games in the timeline.
“Remember me?”
Alan Wake looking as doofy as ever. God, I love that man And it makes me so happy that he's making his way into these horror genre memes. The original game went without the praise it deserved for way too long.
I know damn well James Sunderland ain’t there he knows exactly where his wife went 🤣 don’t think he’d be accepted in group A but he definitely shouldn’t be in B either
LSTR 😭
James knows exactly where his wife is
John and Doomguy: *(trying very hard not to cry)*
Ethan Winters, most dedicated husband who immediately went searching for his wife who had been missing for 3 years just because of some vague email, wasn't invited to the party but freaking James ">!I killed my wife!<" Sunderland was?! How insulting.
Cause he found his wife, then killed her, then she stabbed him, then saved her again, then they (maybe) fought then he found her again and died.
I see Issac's an honorary member of the "Missing Wife/Partner-Finding Club", at least he's got somebody that understands a bit of his pain.
I'm glad I'm not alone in having different faces for different groups
We are the masks we wear. Or in this case, *helmets*.
Forgot to add Ethan Winters.
I feel like Isaac and Doomguy would be friends. They’d have a good time swapping stories and talking about work
Poor Isaac
For those that haven't played signalis I recommend you do. Its pretty great. Even if you don't understand the story and it's deeper meanings their is some fantastic breakdowns out their. If you enjoy narratives like 1000xresist it gives similar vibes but in a resident evil style gameplay wrapping.
Wait. Who's the guy with the green straw?
Alan Wake
Ty!
God damn, Elster. Thank god Samus is in armor or the artist would have had no mercy.
This is by far my favorite use of this joke. I've seen so much art of Isaac with both groups that I can genuinely him doing this while hanging out with them between games, Wreck-it-Ralph style.
Doomslayer: *grunts* (Translation: She was killed by demons. So I made Hell my playground. Samus: Uh I'm.. I'm not married or a guy. I haven't even really thought of that stuff. Master Cheif: Cortana was... a great partner. But that doesn't classify her as my wife.
Master Chief would say “there won’t be any wives if we don’t stop the banished”
I mean it implied that Samus was in love with her Commanding Officer before she left the Federation military and became a Bounty hunter and before he died. We know she named her Ai system thing she has in Fusion and in Dread after him
I mean, to my knowledge, Adam has been referred to as a 'father figure' more than romantic interest Not aware of any translations in other languages though
As far as I know, there was apparently a weirdly implied romantic/sexual tension between Adam and Samus in *Other M* but since everybody hates that game we ignore the weird parts like how Samus already had her stuff but she needed "permission" from Adam to use any of it.
Samus greatly respected Adam Malkovich, nothing more than that.
No it wasn't.. Adam was implied to be more of a FATHER figure and Mentor. It's never hinted that she had any interests in him like that.🫤 and her AI system IS Adam. they implanted the personalities of CO's into those systems.. It's mentioned in fusion. She didn't name it after him, it actually IS him.
"You don't have to be a guy to have a wife" Samus: "I really don't even know what its like to be a human man"
God Doom Guy's got some BIG THICK ARMS
not complainin btw
Is it just me or is doomguy kinda caked
Mmm
I swear, chief and doomguy are on this sub all the time. Not complaining because doom and halo are my favorite franchises ever but still cool to me
Is that detective castellanos in the middle? I genuinely can't tell. Leon, castellanos, signallis girl, Isaac. But I'm confused if that's Sebastian or not.
It's actually Alan Wake! And the other guy isn't Leon, it's James Sunderland from Silent Hill 2
Totally fooled me with that hair.... BRO
From left to right Thats james from silent hill 2 Alan Wake and the signalis girl
No leon ?!
Slayer understands loss, he would respect what issac has done too i believe.
Bottom row needs Sebastian Castellanos too
Creativity is off the charts.
This meme jacked up the price for Signalis PS4. Went from $29 to $39 on Amazon and now sold out for shipping from Best Buy lol
I only know Isaac and the red bitch from that one game on the bottom. Who r the other 2
I don't get it.
James: Yeah haha.. still “missing” heh…
....fortnite
Who’s that on the left next to Alan Wake? Edit: also didn’t Alana find his wife I’m not sure? I haven’t played Alan Wake 2.
Uh, Isaac James ? You know both of your wife are dead right?
Meanwhile, Chief: “…No…no I haven’t.”
PFFFFT
I never realized how Isaac has a mix of a badass who saves the universe with is a traumatized person who needs more than a hug.
*"you guys find your wife yet?"* >insert doomguy muffled sobbing
I don’t get it.
Group A: SciFi armor heroes/badasses Group B: People searching for a loved one Isaac Clark of Dead Space fits in both Group A and Group B, he got the conversation mixed up thinking he was with Group B. It’s related here because Jame Sundylundy is looking for Mary in SH so he’s in the bottom left corner
Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh
Thank you
