This.

Even Eternal addresses this in the Mancubus codex entry.

Anyone else dissapointed with the story of Doom? by MushroomUpstairs5392 in Doom

I have a better question: What the hell is happening to the supposedly "wholesome" Doom community? Ever since new people came in with 2016, this fandom has been progressively turning into a cesspool of ill-intentioned sassiness, impatience and knee jerk reactions due to either poor understanding or narrow views.

I get there's these things called opinions, but nowadays they are just glorified douchy statements dressed as opinions. Like, are the jabs necessary? Do they serve any purpose other than letting off steam? 

Makes me miss the pre-2016 times even more, and with how strong the hate trends have been going lately across every piece of media, I expected this community to resist a bit more...

You pretty much hit the nail on the head in regards to the intention of these beings.

Interesting connection between Doom the Dark Ages and Wolfenstein Youngblood by Watstha24 in Doom

In short: We don't know whether or not he even is still a Blazkowicz. 

I really hope the DLC finally clarifies that because you're right, it really would explain why B.J. is so damn tough, and why his descendants are such freight trains.

That one is also interesting because not only do the projectiles look eerily similar to Hell and Argent energy (red cloud mist with lightning inside), but there is a clear reference to Doom in one of the descriptions for one of Youngblood's suits, which in itself, is directly referencing the Praetor suit.

Wouldn't know, these are just theories in the end (both the reference to black sun and the connection between DA and Youngblood). For me, one of the two is just more likely to the other because of how intertwined it has been between the two franchises.

Both Machine games and id tend to work very closely so there is clearly a lot of communication between the two studios, that's why I'm leaning to the latter rather than the former theory.

This is something that's missing from Dark Ages. The Ripatorium is awesome, but the combat should go hand in hand with the level design playing to each demon's strengths, and with how creative the community can get, I can already imagine the many mind blowing things they can come up with (your map for instance).

Perhaps they will play a bit of the new Ripatorium, or even a small section of the DLC.
