all sort of decried the doomsday
generalmente descartó de antemano

There are obviously many ways this idea could be expressed. Here is one.

neutral  Wilsonn Perez Reyes: Temo que se pierde la connotación de "doomsday" como algo de consecuencias "apocalípticas", "catastróficas", "fatídicas".
5 hrs
  -> De acuerdo, la frase se presta para varios giros. Creo que seria importante escuchar comentarios de los colegas del foro. Saludos.
neutral  JohnMcDove: Tiendo a verlo como Wilsonn, pero sin contexto adicional es difícil decantarse por la opción óptima.

  -> Es verdad, casi nada de contexto. Creo que me mantengo en mi giro linguistico de la frase, respetando y agradeciendo los aportes divergentes.

Otro par de opciones.

También podría ir por el lado de "menospreció" lo que calificó de "hecatombe" - desastre, catástrofe...

Saludos cordiales.
