What makes the blue armor more resistant than the green one?

[Fonze]

Welp there goes my like budget; <3 DW great thread/responses

 

I should prolly add something on-topic to validate this post's existence, maybe about blue vs green light absorption/wavelengths, lost souls being both waves and particles, and [insert joke here] but I don't feel like reaching... I like stupid threads like this and the mordeth chicken thread that look at silly ideas more seriously and innocently; always fun to look at things from purposefully different or even off perspectives and see where you wind up.

In fact , the two armors have the same size and they seem also to have the same weight because our hero can always run at lightspeed.

Actually, the armors are designed to be so lightweight (UAC scientists and engineers are very good at what they do) that they do not encumber the wearer in any way, while still providing varying levels of protection. Hence, Doomguy never slows down, regardless of whether he's wearing armor or what type of armor it is.

By this logic, a pistol, 2 shotguns, a minigun, a rocket launcher, a plasma rifle, a BFG9000, 100 shotgun shells, 100 rockets (each one the size of Doomguy's torso), 400 bullets and 600 cells weigh as much as one pistol with no ammo.

You also forgot a chainsaw.

Again, the weapons were clearly designed by UAC engineers and weapons experts (again, very good at what they do), so that they would be so lightweight as to allow for the warrior of the future to carry all of them but still retain maximum lethality. Why else would Doomguy happily charge into a demon-infested base armed only with a pistol unless he knew that pistol was super lethal?

 

By the way, you're also forgetting about the spiked brass knuckles.

I never had the chance to read the Doom novels. Is blueium actually a thing in that? I honestly wouldn't be surprised since the Revenants wear T-shirts and pants.

From @NoneeLlama's synopsis of the Hungarian Doom novel "A Pokol Kapui" by Damien Forrestal (I think it was that novel):

 

"... and the revenants wear jerseys ..."

 

(No, I didn't make this up. See the thread below.)

 

 

As for the English novels, I only read the first one, but I don't recall it delving into the difference between green and blue armor.

The English novels also hilariously misinterpreted revenants. The armor and dried blood were now a white shirt and red shorts, leading Fly to compare it to (and I quote) "a skeleton in lederhosen". Just how bad were the authors' monitors back then?

Uhh, I believe the canonical Doom Movie already explained that it was because he was pure of heart. Get ur sources straight, scrub.

 

First of all, I must apologize for the late reply as ever since I leaked some vital UAC armor secrets, the UAC have been searching for the culprit. They don't know it was me who leaked it yet. But they've been monitoring us employees so I have to be careful when I type otherwise, they'll catch me. About your question... Ah yes, I believe you mistook Agent Reaper for Agent Doomguy. Though it is true that Agent Reaper survived the C24 incident because of his pure heart, that incident did not have much to do with Hellspawn invasions.

Sincerely,

A UAC Intern
