Doom1Guy defeats the Spider Mastermind, steps through the hidden doorway and 'emerges from the door to see the green fields of Earth!'Ģ.

So the only seemingly logical explanation seems to be that:ġ. But Episode 3 sees you step out of a portal onto the fields of Earth. But 'someone was gonna pay for what happened to daisy, your pet rabbit' implies that Doom1Guy has gone on a rampage after his discovery at the end of Episode 3. It says 'next stop, hell on earth!' implying that you weren't previously fighting on Earth. It's not clear where exactly Episode 4 is even happening. The spider mastermind must have sent forth The upside is that all of this makes it easier to just accept any Doom game and any PWAD as starring 'THE Doomguy' since, you know, you see his face and all. So yeah, it doesn't make any sense and it's not supposed to. Then of course Doom 3 wipes the slate clean, and apparently Doom 4 is going to do it again. Then in No Rest For the Living I guess you got bored of that since you pop back down to Hell to take out another Cyberdemon who I guess took over Hell and was threatening Earth or whatever. Then at the end you decide to STAY IN HELL FOREVER to stop demons from ever returning. Then Doom 64 claims that you didn't actually manage to wipe out all the demons on Mars (despite not ever actually fighting on the surface of Mars before) during the now apparently classified demon incursions, so you are sent back to finish the job.

Then Ultimate Doom apparently retcons BOTH of these to suggest that Ep4 takes place on Earth just after Episode 3 and just prior to the events of Doom 2.Īnd then there's TNT and Plutonia, which both have their own storylines about reformed UACs and more hellspawn. But then in Doom 2, the backstory claims you ended up back on Mars and came back to Earth the normal way via spaceship while being celebrated as a hero for your deeds, only to find the world devastated once you arrive, and Doom 2 starts there. Doom 1 ends with you emerging from a portal from Hell to find yourself back on Earth, which has already been attacked (gasp!).
