Doom (series)/Awesome

Video Games

 * Best Boss Ever: DOOM 1. E2M8. The Cyberdemon. Admit it, you wet 'em the first time you saw that giant sumbitch.
 * The Guardian in Doom 3's Hell level, capping off the Best Level Ever.
 * Maledict in ROE. A more adrenaline-pumping fight you have to look for.
 * Crowning Level Of Awesome: Doom 3's rendition of Hell. Unlike the original Hell levels, which were pretty much like normal levels only with stone walls, a red sky and a lot of blood splashed around, the Doom 3 version is a warped Fire and Brimstone Hell floating in an endless dark void and filled with nightmare imagery. The art design is amazing. You're also robbed of all your equipment, including your goddamn flashlight, so there's no comfort from the darkness and the only light you will see is the red of infernal flames.
 * By the end of Doom II, once the Big Bad Icon of Sin (John Romero) gets iced, the epilogue states how Say what you will but the result of that is that the Marine himself, the player has effectively and indirectly
 * The Marine from Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil has one too. When Maledict/, the commanding demon of the hellish forces, demanded him to give him the Artifact, The marine instead shoved it in its throat, killing it..
 * A meta-example would be beating any of the Nintendo Hard megawads at all, especially Deus Vult.

Film

 * Say what you will about the Doom movie, but the first-person action sequence near the end of the film was made of all sorts of win.
 * That scene was one of the two things that paid for the ticket, the other being The Rock's line:
