I think part of the reason why the Doom movies have sucked so bad is because they've been from the POV of UAC security guys and not Doomguy (also making it aliens and not demons, which i think is what doom 3 did? Which, incidentally, is partly why doom 3 is also Not Very Good). And like the thing is, from the POV of anyone who isn't Doomguy, it absolutely is a survival horror. Those people are scared for their fucking LIVES. From Doomguy's perspective, this is just another Wednesday. He's barely breaking a sweat. And this is where the experience diverges, because the Viewer expects a movie to be a gore fest rip and tear delight, but these random UAC idiots are just not equipped to handle a demonic/alien invasion. You came to see a demon's chest get cracked open with someone's bare hands, but instead its the demons doing the cracking.

The other reasons the movies sucked so bad is because they weren't animated.

#not fallout #kal talks #i dont think you could tell a good doom story in live action. animation is 100% the way to go in order to portray the kind of combat #that would make it fun and interesting to watch #also the thing is like. i think it would be really interesting to have a survival horror offshoot where youre some random uac security dude #just trying to make it #because the tonal shift when doomguy shows up sounds like it would be funny #you hear distant heavy metal and youre like...... huh #hiding in a closet and theres a chainsaw revving in the distance like oh jesus #idk i feel like both doom movies had potential #even in annihilation where they imply that doomguy is a woman which i didnt actually mind. doom annihilation felt very accurate to #the first doom game #because in the first doom game doomguy just WAS that random uac security guard just trying to make it #he wasnt special or anything at that point in time he just had a shotgun and determination #i dont even know where inwas going with this. I just wanna talk about doom lmao...#doom rambling
