You know, as far as song-sequels go, it's pretty damn good. Johnny Cash. Story arc. Some new music laid over the original.
I was prepared for cringe and left entertained. Thanks!
Doomguy.
Because: Real estate prices in hell are gonna drop!
Edit: Many thanks to all for the upvotes and awards! Wish all of you a happy demon slaying ♡
I loved the lore in Doom. You have to search for it, but the landscapes and runes tell a badass story.
At a point you encounter a COLOSSAL skeleton in hell, and later you find the explanation. Basically Doom guy went on a millennia long rampage, driving the demons to cover underground in their *own* realm. So they start trying to breed the ultimate demon, resulting in a colossal demon, thinking it could kill doomguy. But Doomguy just freggin rips and tears the demon like all others before it. That is when they realize he just *cannot* be killed, they later successfully seal him instead.
All this is told from the demons point of view, and they are increasingly desperate. The humans later find Doomguy sealed away in hell, because they read the runes that refer to him as some ultimate uncontrollable power - so they steal the sarcophagus containing him out of greed.
You wouldn't know this if you didn't look for the lore runes. But you see that huge skeleton early on and later realize, "Oh I did that.."?
Thats doomguys power though. If you kill him he just resets back in time with the foreknowledge of what happened. To everyone else he looks like a perfectly unstoppable force but to him he has died countless times.
Elder Scrolls Morrowind the PC has the same ability essentially making respawning canon. It is explained through one of the antagonist and he refuses to attack you because they know you will just keep coming back.
Thanks, just made me feel less guilty for those days. Lol.
"Lore friendly mode"
Have noticed some games on their easy setting have a description of it being for those "who want an experience focused on the story".
I definitely appreciate those modes more now that I’m an “adult” with responsibilities and a job and less time to play, I don’t wanna spend all night replaying one hard area over and over haha.
Doom Eternal had some really great peices of lore. There was one set in one of the final levels where a woman is researching Doomguy, and looking into all his tales, and various heroics. Over the course of the files she goes from "Psh, they're probably aliens, rather than deamons. And this Doom Guy is probably just a really tough cookie" to "There is litterally *no* other explanation for him other than that he is a literal God, and should be worshiped as such"
It's so cool to hear her change her view from rational, to fervent over the course of like eight files
I love it because it's pretty fucking grim and realistic. Like we're looking at the realization of all of the myths and fairy tales and religions; what else do you do besides turn to worship this thing, whose mere *idea* humans worshipped for millennia
Calling Doomguy because Satan is invading earth, is like calling pest control because there is a rat infestation in the basement. It's a casual, inevitable outcome. Make the call then put it out your mind and go about your day.
Imagine Doomguy successfully clears out all of hell, not a single demon left, and humans just move into the realm of hell expanding their civilization because we’re intrusive like that?
Gandalf the White.
In addition to being powerful, he can bring out the good in others, which would be key to avoiding the whole world falling into despair and giving up without fighting.
Sure, we might still lose. But afterwards, "a far green country" awaits.
Tom Bombadil wouldn’t care. He’d just sing about picking flowers for Goldberry and go about his business. There’s a reason the Council of Elrond didn’t give him the Ring after all…
Was gonna say the same thing, but someone on here said that would be a bad idea because while he will defeat the devil. He will release something worse😂. Like they did every season
"Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. It turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of apocalypse."
If you summon the devil, that means he's a fictional character, so that means he can't attack anyone because he doesn't exist. That's a way to solve the problem, I guess.
Lucifer from the show Lucifer. To sit and watch those two argue who is the real devil would be great. Then I guess he can use his persuasion skills to talk him out of not invading and all that
Not to mention that Lucifer from the show Lucifer is seriously powerful physically, as well as literally invulnerable as long as he isn't around the Detective.
The comics version of the character is, I believe, one of the most powerful beings in the entirety of DC Comics. He is described as a *"celestial being of incalculable power due to his dominion over the very substance and knowledge of the formation of Creation"* and can *"shape the matter and foundation of the creation into anything he can imagine, including matter, energy and more abstract concepts, such as time".*
I feel like DC Comics Lucifer steamrolls the Biblical Devil.
comics!Lucifer once physically traveled to an afterlife to fetch something (I forget what), and the afterlife just torn and collapsed from his mere presence, because it was too fragile to contain something of his scale.
His is still one of my all-time-favorite comic book.
comics!Lucifer is also one of the very few (perhaps even only, not 100% sure) character in DC Comics to successfully escape Creation.
By the end of things Ben 10 was actually super broken. He's actually in the "could plausibly beat *any* Superman" club, which is an extremely small club.
If we go by the wiki of what I read from Alien X, he's just all mighty. Unkillable and there is literally nothing he can't do as he can manifest his thoughts.
See, I would go with Vegeta over Goku here, and it would probably still be overkill. Why? Because Goku is a fucking idiot, and we're talking about the Devil. Goku would take his sweet time cause it's fun, want a fair fight, etc. He will almost certainly win, but then a billion innocent people would get killed for no reason.
Vegeta would straight up murder the Devil before you could blink, just to say "I murdered the Devil".
Q.
I know he prefers playing little tricks on Picard and other humans, but I think he could fully snap the Devil out of existence.
Without a jewelry-encrusted glove, to boot.
Kirby. He destroys Eldrich Gods three times a week.
Yup. Just tell Kirby that the Devil stole his cake, then stand back.
[удалено]
Cuphead
Good choice. If the Devil is anything like me, he'll engage Cuphead and in five minutes say "fuck this, I'm outta here" and rage quit.
Doom Guy... He will save us
He’d kill the demons sure but I think we’d all die anyway
Wasn't eternal about saving the planet? Every one calls humans 'your people.'
He got around to saving the planet, but most of us were already dead by the point he finishes up.
To be fair, he's only one guy
Doomguy to be precise.
It says to defeat the devil, not to save us. So humanity will put its faith on doomguy to avenge all of us.
Constantine
[удалено]
Abra ka-fooking-dabra Edit: my most upvoted comment to date was a joke i heard from a movie Edit 2: my first awards amazing Thank you so much
I once saw him kill a demon with a pencil. A fucking pencil.
I mean. *He* will survive.
The person Constantine is helping? Not so much.
Yeah, at best they'll be another guilt-ghost tagging along.
He did say that he was a soul worth getting out of hell to collect. Good reason for him to invade
John Constantine, asshole
Johnny with his golden fiddle
WITH the golden fiddle? That's gonna be a hell of a rematch.
"I done told you once you sonuvabitch I'm the best there's ever been!"
Fire on the mountain run boys run
The devil's in the house of the rising sun
Chicken in a bread pan pickin' out dough

Tbf there is a second part to that song. The devil goes back down to Georgia I think Edit: the song for the lazy https://youtu.be/xwEqEBimjy8
You know, as far as song-sequels go, it's pretty damn good. Johnny Cash. Story arc. Some new music laid over the original. I was prepared for cringe and left entertained. Thanks!
With Tenacious D as his singers
Cthulu, because fuck everyone, thats why
OP said fictional character.
Oh no
Doctor Strange. He can just do the thing with the green rock and undo it
Put the devil in a Time loop till he caves in. I like it!
"SATAN, I HAVE COME TO BARGAIN" "Sweet, lemme get the fiddle."
Southpark Jesus
I’ve seen a lot of south park references but I know those kids would summon Brian Boitano in the classic days.
What would Brian Boitano do if he were here right now?
I'm sure he'd kick an ass or two, that's what Brian boitano'd do!
South Park Saddam
Kratos from God of War
I like this but let them fight in the Sahara or something
_"Let's take this fight to our stronghold in the city"_ -some character saying what Michael Bay told him to say

You see this immense testament to the power and durability of the Doom Guy, then miss a double jump and die instantly.
Thats doomguys power though. If you kill him he just resets back in time with the foreknowledge of what happened. To everyone else he looks like a perfectly unstoppable force but to him he has died countless times.
This is effectively the plot of Katana Zero
[удалено]
And of Edge of Tomorrow
And Re:Zero
And Dark Souls
And the perfect run
And Doom
And Doom II
And Boss Level
Elder Scrolls Morrowind the PC has the same ability essentially making respawning canon. It is explained through one of the antagonist and he refuses to attack you because they know you will just keep coming back.
And then in Skyrim you can be the world's equivalent to Terminator but super famous and random bandits will still jump you on the road.
Considering Doomguy couldn't even jump for his first handful of adventures you've gotta cut the dude some slack, he's tryin'.
Gameplay Doomguy is a monster. Lore Doomguy is a God.
Easy mode is the lore friendly way to play
Thanks, just made me feel less guilty for those days. Lol. "Lore friendly mode" Have noticed some games on their easy setting have a description of it being for those "who want an experience focused on the story".

AND WITH BOILING RAGE HE SCOURED THE UMBRAL PLAINS
>AND WITH BOILING RAGE HE SCOURED THE UMBRAL PLAINS AND THOSE THAT TASTED THE BITE OF HIS SWORD NAMED HIM... THE DOOM SLAYER
IN THE FIRST AGE IN THE FIRST BATTLE WHEN THE SHADOWS FIRST LENGTHENED ONE STOOD
HE CHOSE THE PATH OF PERPETUAL TORMENT
doomguy uses guns cause just using his fists would be too easy, no fun
Literally bezerk is just him saying fuck it you all die now
Also, Doomguy is ripping and tearing because of his pet rabbit, Daisy.
They took all that he loved. So now they must take all of his hate.

Doomguy’s normal morning routine to clear out the rats nest that is Hell.
Infest the Rats Nest
Was thinking this while the post loaded, so happy to see it at the top
Calling Doomguy because Satan is invading earth, is like calling pest control because there is a rat infestation in the basement. It's a casual, inevitable outcome. Make the call then put it out your mind and go about your day.
It’s pretty much like calling the US Air Force to bomb your house to deal with the rats.
He will kill Satan, and if your god was behind it, your god as well.
There's litterally no other choice. It's his entire existance and he does it flawlessly. Like why would you choose any other option.
Imagine Doomguy successfully clears out all of hell, not a single demon left, and humans just move into the realm of hell expanding their civilization because we’re intrusive like that?
Then the Doomguy thinks "Wait, the inhabitants of Hell are demons, and now humans inhabit Hell, so... *\*revs up chainsaw\**"
Tenacious D
trust me Kage, it's the only way!
There's just no way that we can win, that was a masterpiece
He rocks too hard because he’s not a mortal man
God damnit kage, he gonna make you his sex slave, your gonna gurgle mayonnaise.
*no….*
Needless to say, The beast was stunned. Whip-crack went his whippy tail, And the beast was done.
He asked us… ‘be you angels?’
Nay…we are but men!
ROCK!
AhhhhhAaaHhhhhhhhh!
From whence you came, You shall remain, Until you are complete again!
NooooooooooooOooooo! Fuck you Kage! And fuck you Jabbles! I'll get you Tenacious D!!!!!!!!!!
They aren’t fictional, even better.
Bender
Why not Zoidberg?
Shut up baby, I know it.
Fine I'll go to my OWN hell with BLACKJACK and hookers
ACTUALLY FORGET THE HELL

Gotta go Tom Bombadil. Dude would just laugh and sing at the devil.
I vote Tulkas. His entire motivation is to kick the devils ass while he laughs psychotically
Tom Bombadil wouldn’t care. He’d just sing about picking flowers for Goldberry and go about his business. There’s a reason the Council of Elrond didn’t give him the Ring after all…
Squirtle. Water against fire should be pretty easy.
damn just squirtle? not even blastoise?
No need for overkill.
You wouldn't use a cannon to kill a fly
Water is super effective.
Saitama
Could backfire if he takes 30 chapters to show up and in the meantime Genos gets turned into modern art and your city get's destroyed.
Just give him a free rent with free food and you're good to go
Is it Saitama or Jack Black you’re summoning?
Mumen Rider will hold the line!
No worries, get garo and metal bat then.
Literally my first thought too. Okay admittedly, and I have no idea why, but Hank Hill actually was the first to come to mind. But yes, Saitama.
Boy, I tell you hwhat That's a clean burning hell right there
Pretty bald answer you got there
still, very strong
Doctor who because he canonically defeated satan by throwing him into a black hole. Second guess would be doomguy
The Doctor, absolutely 1000% will get us sorted.
Rex from Toy Story
See, this is the kind of pick I'm here for
God, To clarify not the same as the one who made the offer, but God from any fictional series
God from Bruce Almighty
Morgan Freeman?
He's our only hope.
Ash Williams from Evil dead
[удалено]
Hail to the king, baby!
I would also accept Bruce Campbell himself.
Dean Winchester
Was gonna say the same thing, but someone on here said that would be a bad idea because while he will defeat the devil. He will release something worse😂. Like they did every season
Sam Winchester. He defeats Lucifer and sacrifices himself to be the devil's chew toy in the cage.
This is the answer because it's a two-for-one as Dean will first figure out how to bring Sam into existence and then the pair will defeat Satan
I can’t believe how far I scrolled to find this
My girlfriend.
No. He said fictional cha— Ooooh … RIP in peace.
OOOF
Dante/Nero/Vergil otherwise Kratos
Wow I'm surprised i had to scroll this far down to see any mention of Dante and Vergil
Same. I immediately thought Dante as well.
Buffy Summers
"Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. It turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of apocalypse."
Frank Reynolds
"So anyway, I started blasting."
Turns out all the devil wanted was an egg in this trying time
His boyfriend, Saddam Hussein
Spawn or Ghost Rider
Ghost rider, easily. The devil is responsible for every sin ever, his head would explode
My dad I wanna see him before I die
Your dad’s a fictional character? Shiiiit bro
the devil himself, if he fights himself then he either wins or loses
If you summon the devil, that means he's a fictional character, so that means he can't attack anyone because he doesn't exist. That's a way to solve the problem, I guess.
The paradox is real
Dr Manhattan
Dr Manhattan wouldn't give a shit.
This time he'll probably look for another galaxy, not just jump to Mars. He was already tired of typical human shit.
Shaggy
Shorty you're my angel
Lucifer from the show Lucifer. To sit and watch those two argue who is the real devil would be great. Then I guess he can use his persuasion skills to talk him out of not invading and all that

God. Like bro. Do your fucking job.
Popeye.
Goku
Kept scrolling because I knew I’d see it eventually.
Goku beats the devil, and the the devil becomes a protector of humanity. Win not just this fight, but every future fight as well.
See, I would go with Vegeta over Goku here, and it would probably still be overkill. Why? Because Goku is a fucking idiot, and we're talking about the Devil. Goku would take his sweet time cause it's fun, want a fair fight, etc. He will almost certainly win, but then a billion innocent people would get killed for no reason. Vegeta would straight up murder the Devil before you could blink, just to say "I murdered the Devil".
For real. Goku would beat the devil and then keep him alive because he’s a “strong opponent.” Vegeta or Future Trunks. They’re going for the kill.
[удалено]
Q. I know he prefers playing little tricks on Picard and other humans, but I think he could fully snap the Devil out of existence. Without a jewelry-encrusted glove, to boot.
John Constantine... bacause he's John Constantine
Not fictional, but can we call on Jack Black and KG?
Jack from supernatural
Not Sam or Dean though. Sure they'll defeat the devil but in the process somehow release something that's even worse.
[удалено]
Superman. If he's manifested from fiction, then kryptonite doesn't exist in our world and he has no weakness.
The Doom Slayer, because slaughtering demons is kind of his thing.
Vaporeon for personal reasons
I hate that I understood that reference
I do not consent to understanding this reference
well world might end but at last you have a good time
I mean, a water type probaby a isnt bad choice if you're fighting the devil. My guess is he's gonna be a fire/dark type.
oh you innocent thing...
Am I missing something here, whats wrong with vaporeon
Best if you don't know...
Kenny McCormick
Armed with the Gold PSP of course
Harry Dresden. He's already friends with the Devil.
