>Also it seems the whole...Billy Blaze, who was father of Doomguy" was also his (Tom Hall) idea.

No. Excuse my french but fuck that shit, let's not even give that thing a chance to live.

That was the assumption of some dumb motherfucker with poor reading comprehension who replied to Tom Hall's tweet where he confirmed that Blazkowicz was Keen's grandfather. This is a relationship that has been present ever since the release of an official strategy guide for Wolfenstein 3-D back in the 90s.

It was never assumed (up until very recently) that Keen is/was Doomguy's father.

Keen is assumed to be an 8-year old kid during the events of the first game, which were assumed to occur in the time of the release of the game (1990). The events of Doom (1993) have been assumed to occur at a pretty distant time from ours, maybe 200-300 years later.

Like someone said already, for Keen to be Doomguy's father:

-Doomguy should/must have been born around 2005-2010
-Keen should have retained (or perhaps increased) his level of intelligence during his adulthood in order for humanity to make the jump to Mars and colonize both Deimos and Phobos and start dabbling with inter-dimensional teleportation.

Which is something reaaally hard to believe, even for a videogame. Basically you're asking me to assume that Keen's the founder of the UAC, and Keen genuinely the goodest and purest boy on Earth for him to found the company that ultimately dooms (huhuh) this planet
