History Fridge / DoomEternal

** ''The Ancient Gods'' reveals that [[spoiler:the "Father" of the Maykrs and the Dark Lord of Hell are one and the same. With this in mind, the most likely explanation is that the Maykrs and demons look similar because their mutual creator has a SignatureStyle - Furthermore, the Maykrs covering up their natural features with armour and masks might have been motivated by a desire to distance themselves from their creator after betraying him.]]

* ''The Ancient Gods Pt. 1'' give you literally everything possible from a fully upgraded Slayer with one exception, the Crucible. Why? Because it is currently embedded within the head of the Icon of Sin, and thus unusable until he can reforge it, if he chooses to do so.

** Additionally, Christian Mythology holds that demons and angels are the same beings. This is normally shown with demons looking like angels (See Good Omens). However, Doom is inverting this, as the angels look like demons.

* A core theme in both ''DOOM (2016)'' and ''Eternal'' is how people justify their actions. The Doom Slayer acts like a silent, uncompromising {{Jerkass}} with NoSocialSkills, but he is a JerkWithAHeartOfGold who never hurts innocent people, and only targets demons as well as those who consort with them. In contrast, there is the UAC and its members who present themselves as "saviours" of humanity but betray their fellow humans in pursuit of power and demonhood, while the Maykrs have angelic appearances but made a deal with Hell's forces in exchange for energy that'll save their dying planet/empire, energy that comes from horrifically torturing humans until they're left as transformed husks once their souls are extracted. Thus, the ''DOOM'' reboot series presents AnAesop: People who try to cover up and justify their evils with good intentions are actually NotSoDifferent than the monsters and demons themselves. The fact that the Khan Maykr is actually a demon-looking alien queen underneath her angelic armor/mask emphasizes this, as she's revealed to be a hypocritical, arrogant, and self-righteous mass-murderer hiding behind a carefully-crafted facade while the Doom Slayer is completely willing to save humanity and is honest about his goals despite his flaws, and is as a result portrayed in a more heroic light.

* When the Doom Slayer arrives in Sentinel Prime, the Khan Maykr tries to presuade him to spare the last Hell Priest by promising to return to him "what the Demons took from [him] so long ago." What exactly is she referring to? She is referring to the Doom Slayer's family, of which you can find a [[http://www.reddit.com/r/Doom/comments/fr4ie0/doomguys_family_photo/ photo]] of if you look closely at the floor below his computer desk in his headquarters. No doubt that they were killed when the demons invaded his own Earth back from ''VideoGame/DoomII'' and despite that he saved his own homeworld, he couldn't save them and the guilt and remorse he feels about them is so strong, he can barely keep the last piece of memory of them left without tearing it in two and throwing it away, as if deliberately forgetting them is his only way to cope with the lose. The promise that the Khan Maykr is just like that of the promise given to the Betrayer about his son, and she likely hopes that it'll convince the Doom Slayer to relent his RoaringRampageOfRevenge. But he knows better than to listen to her false promise and continues to seek out the last Hell Priest because he personally knows that only by slaughtering every demon and their allies on sight can he stop them from tearing more families apart and save people from the suffering he'd suffered by the demons' hands.
