These have been the doomguys throughout the ages, including the Karl Urban movie version, comics, and side media.
As you can see, aside from Doom 3 (which has been quickly tossed out of canon), he retains a very similar hairstyle, which is essentially an short, unkempt hairstyle of varying lengths.
I can't miss the forest for the trees if the forest itself is illusory.
I think some here should just chalk this up to 'mandela effect' and call it a day.

All the games have the same Doomguy in canon. No one is talking about Karl Urban or side media here.
So Doomguy:
B.J. Blazkowicz:
Idk why you're acting like they're so distinct from eachother lmfao. Literally Just give BJ darker hair, and he looks better than that render without looking lame and gay. You're still missing the forest. It's not mandela effect because people aren't misremembering. Like I said, I have no idea how he looks facewise other than being a beardless dude. He's a helmet to me. He is a prior marine though. Make him look the part (he looks better in that Eternal render you posted for example). His face looks weird as shit in the OP, his hair looks like it's done with gel, his beard looks drawn on, and he's wearing bondage gear. Lame. And. Gay.

They are distinct in both head shape, facial structure, and hair style.
How can this be when his face was on the manual and in-game of the very first Doom?
It is a mandela effect because you've created your own version of Doomguy and you're saying the new one doesn't fit the template. Were you instead thinking of Sarge?
They wear similar armor so I'd understand the mixup.

Feel the same way.
I have been waiting since 2001 for a game featuring Sarge, Phobos, Wrack, Crash and Major as a fun co-op campaign in some sort of Halo: Reach-style situation where they all canonically die at the end in a blaze of glory, and all that's left is a hint in the ending scene that Doomguy will finish the job.

It's fine, I don't think there's anything wrong with his face. Removing the helmet to begin with is unnecessary

Fuck outta here ID with your bullshit
Dude looks like a generic fantasy mong
Why does he look in the face just like the dickheads at Wingstop who hand me uber eats/doordash orders when I'm out delivering food lmao?

Biggest mistake was giving DOOM a fucking story as if it was a movie game. They've lost the plot at id.

Once they pulled in the Demigod nonsense it was already over.
Doom 3 keeps winning. You were just a normal dude where things go terribly wrong and you fight to win.
They really tried to make some Marvel ass Cinematic game experience out of modern Doom.
If they kept things minimalistic like in Doom 2016 they would have something great but after Eternal's story and now Dark Ages it's not terribly interesting.

Yeah, I'm still confused by this even being a thread...we've seen the dude's face for multiple games now. He always looked liked this.

Such a simple premise that works so well in videogames. It's believable and easy to get immersed into.
Meanwhile all the Marvel-esque shit of the last few games made me cringe and skip it all. At least the gameplay in Eternal was really good (imo) and made up for the story without any problem. TDA seems to double down on the story so fuck it, I have no interest in that + Simon Says first-person parrying. What the fuck is that lol.

We have known what he looks like since OG Doom...

Eternal would be fine if the DLC didn't introduce it's nonsense. Even if Eternal had a tiny amount of it. They just went full ham.
When I watched Mortismal's video and got 10 seconds in to see that BUMPER CARS was still there instead of proper glory kills I clicked off the video. Not to mention the ugly MMO color coding with the UI and enemy bullets. Gotta love Modernization.
I was already annoyed with Captain America Shield but now a Spear? Like guys Doom is all about the guns! Space Marine 2 is running circles around Doom it isn't even funny.
