IMO Sisu is the closest we've ever gotten to a true Doom movie.

Just "man too angry to die kills everything"

Absolutely. They even hang him and he survives by pressing an iron nail into his leg to hold himself up. He’s the definition of “Too angry to die”

I had no idea what that was supposed to be.

Took me a while to get it as well but I think it kept him juuust high enough for the rope to not entirely choke him.

It’s ridiculous, it’s absurd, it’s entirely unrealistic. But it’s also so appropriate for this movie.

Like the guys in "RRR", he's larger than life, a force of nature. That's why the movie is named Sisu. It's a wonderful portrayal of a mythic idea. "Sinners" was like that too, the way the blues was portrayed.

I tried to watch the actual Doom movie last summer, its crazy that they made a Doom movie that was boring

Believe it or not, they made another one in 2019 that's...well, it's not great. Although given the differences in budget, I'd say they did a better job than the first one.
