How I think Doom 3 fits into the Doom timeline cannon.

[Dubbag]

So we know about the the journey of the Doomslayer through Doom 1,2,64,2016 and Eternal. But where does Doom 3 fit? Well I believe that Doom 3 actually takes place between 64 and 2016 and that the Marine in it is not the Doomslayer but just a normal man. At this time, the Slayer was entombed. Thus the demons attacked mars in Doom 3 without fear of being destroyed by him. The reason why they were so slow and weak compared to the events of the other games is that  they felt they had no reason to use as much power or force as would have been necessary in the later games with the slayer awakened. They were just killing normal humans thus got cocky and careless and underestimated their opponent. This marine in Doom 3 showed them otherwise. Anyone else agree?

You know in the final levels of DOOM 3 they kinda hint quite much the lore that have been in Eternal (ancient civilization, war with the demons and of course the existence of the DOOM guy)
