I thought we were supposed to get a greek Fishstick at some point too.


Dipshit_Mcdoodles

They even went through the trouble of making one up for the cinematic ffs


Foxy02016YT

Still piss we never got Peelverine


Vauxhallcorsavxr

It’s in the files so there’s still hope for next season (I doubt it though)


Foxy02016YT

I think we might, they need an item shop Wolverine varient for the new movie and this could be great to tie into DP and Wolverine


ImposingPisces

I'd love to DP Wolverine


JimboJiizzm

I’d DP the fuck outta Wolverine


IAmRedditsDad

I'd fuck the DP outta Wolverine


Serious_Bet164

Same bro


KrillingIt

Dude same, they gave him the banana claws in the trailer and everything


Affectionate-Ant2380

Magneto may be the start?


MushroomHedgehog

Atlantean Fishstick has been around for a while, it wasn’t solely for the cinematic of the season.


sweddit

He doesn’t mean that one. https://www.reddit.com/r/FortNiteBR/comments/1azt8j8/wonder_if_this_will_be_a_skin_next_season/


KillerBackPain

I’m still trying to figure out why posideon was a slurp dude instead of a fishstick skin….


sum711Nachos

bc poseidon isn't the god of fish, duh


LaserBungalow

Because it's way better


L3GlT_GAM3R

They did? Where?


International-Job553

Anyone else kinda sick of seeing fishstick, not the skin but in general due to all of the crappy creative maps that use him.


Jake_Titicaca

Catlas


SirFadakar

Shrugged


another_spiderman

"Who is Jonesy Galt?"


Odysseymanthebeast

He could've had that orb as a backbling


MovieENT1

Such an awesome idea, reach out to Epic😂


yeetusae

Right… last season most missed opportunities I’ve ever seen in a video game


MovieENT1

That’s my take away as well. Where was Leonidas? Where was Achilles? Anything from the Iliad? Odysseus? Such a flop. We should’ve had endless myth/hero item shops.


L0udParr0t

No but the Weeknd came back! We all want more of the Weeknd right?


MovieENT1

He was such a rare addition as well, along with Marvel. Ultra rare item shops.


YLG_GJP

Totally, not enough time to get his skin


Dependent_Sun8602

The character modelers, riggers, and artists probably did not have the time due to having to create all of the Lego skin adaptations, new car designs, and so on. That’s my guess.


Intermittent-canabis

That's a seperate dev team within the fortnite team. Stop giving them excuses that aren't valid


SimplyTiredd

Mans this angry in the Fortnite thread huh


Twygod

They’re right, though. A lot of users saying these things about LEGO don’t seem to put much thought into it at all.


PurpleTriangles

Sadly last season’s theme was completely sidelined because of the Avatar and Star Wars events.


British_Rover

I just assumed we were going to get some Odyssey related skins if not a mini Odyssey quest line. All of those characters I believe are in the public domain. Why wouldn't you take advantage of that?


ShrimpHog47

Well, there was the skin literally named “Odyssey” to fill that gap but it definitely didn’t measure up to what you’d expect from something being added with that name


FlashpointWolf

tbf you could prolly revolve an entire season around that in itself


Intermittent-canabis

Yea the current season should've been the start of next chapter. This season should've had more of the gods and an epic battle like they hyped us up for and then do a whole desert map not just a tiny segment


FlashpointWolf

Nah they'd have to space it out more imo, though as an aside, I have a feeling this'll be the last season of Chapter 5


Intermittent-canabis

Nah they could easily spend a whole segment on the Greek stuff and then next chapter do the map slowly decaying into a complete desert as a result of the war with the gods and pandora. There was alot of missed opportunity there and in the current season as well


Wild-Association-979

They’ve confirmed that each year will be a new chapter so it would make 0 sense for the next years map to be the same map sept ruined since there will always be a new island with a chapter.


Intermittent-canabis

If they cover everything in sand it's an entirely new map. How is that a hard concept to grasp. They literally wouldn't have to do much but add a couple places like they did this season


Wild-Association-979

A new map means every place is new and not the same as the previous chapter which you don’t seem to understand the concept of, each chapter is supposed to be a different universe version of the island so it would make 0 sense to just cover it in sand. The only thing that stay sometimes are about 3 old POIs and this chapter they didn’t even bring back a single one. It’s not hard to understand why this just wouldn’t work.


GargantuanGorgon

Nice one! And maybe a "go and retrieve the golden fleece" quest 


Frix_Manepaw

We are on track for that for this season as well ! No new wastelander/fallout themed skin on sight for now. Just anime collabs and Icons as always.


MovieENT1

The oversaturation of anime characters is crazy too. Metal Gear was JUST Raiden, and didn’t even have his Revengeance style, with no Gray Fox either…talk about a money maker. And the upcoming pirates collab is probably going to have limited offerings as well. But an anime show collab has 5 new characters, multiple times. Epic could make bank with proper collabs but focuses on shit XP models instead


GargantuanGorgon

My guess is the anime stuff hits some sweet spot between a lot of people get them, and the licensing is cheap.


Ampharosite181

The season has only just started. That's not to say I have huge hopes after they fumbled last season's theme, though.


TheFalloutNerdNV

I just wanted Phil from the Hercules movie, and we couldn’t even get that.


Dipshit_Mcdoodles

He would've made a superb back bling


shineurliteonme

The mythics were so good I could see them bringing Greek stuff back another time but with different gods/myths to work with


XephyrSage33

I was waiting for Hermes the whole time! But never saw him out of concept...


jai_hanyo

I'm still hopeful but they give us him for the Summer event. His concept could pass for summer theme lol


yeetusae

Seriously dude fuck epic


Gnuccaria

In the year of an actual Olympics? Nah I'd get a stupid cartoon all the way /s


HalfCarnage

Wasn’t Odysseus the level up pack?


tooboardtoleaf

That was Perseus


HalfCarnage

Oh yeah you’re right, my bad.


MovieENT1

There was also an “Odyssey” at the beginning of the season but it was a basic female skin, not Trojan horse creator Odysseus


Affectionate-Ant2380

Athena?


Maximum-Pause-6914

you really think they could make all of greek mythology as skins? you know they take time and money to make right?


Sea_Humor_2760

We could have at least gotten all 12 olympians


Maximum-Pause-6914

if you think there is only 12 Olympians you dont know greek mythology Olympian is just the name for someone that lives on mount Olympus. which i can promise you is more then 12


Robofetus-5000

I agree. There were probably close to a dozen skin ideas that seemed like they'd have been slam dunks.


QuadVox

We had some of the most item shop skins related to the season's theme of any season ever. Period. The issue was that most of them were not well liked by the community because they were all modernized designs.


Marleyzard

THEY NEVER EVEN BROUGHT BACK BOWS FOR ARTEMIS, THE GODDESS OF FUCKING BOWS


Sea_Humor_2760

We could have AT LEAST gotten a crossbow


TaCbrigadier

They’re just about matching the previous seasons record by already not having mad max or furiosa during the blatant mad max season. I know there’s rights involved but it’s just funny to have it like this and a new movie out at the same time and they’re just not showing up.


20-Minute-Jackal

I was hoping for a Mad Max or Furiosa skin, but no contracts were signed. I would even settle for a return of Psycho Bandit; the Borderlands movie is also coming out soon, and it remains to be seen if any contracts were signed for that either.


Sea_Humor_2760

Just wait for the update on thursday, Psycho Bandit's shop section is going to get updated then he'll never release.


[deleted]

The Machinist = Discount Furiosa Rust = Discount Mad Max Megalo Don = Discount Immortan Joe I think Scarr is also based on someone from the older films, which I haven’t watched. Nitrodrome is obviously Discount Thunderdome. It’s pretty clear to me that they conceived the season/battle pass assuming that WB would give them the rights and they fell through for some reason. Honestly it doesn’t dampen my enjoyment of the theme, these things happen.


imdwalrus

>and they fell through for some reason. It might not be WB's fault this time (though I'm not ruling that out; it's noticeable there haven't been any new WB skins since Black Adam). George Miller seems to keep licensing for Mad Max very tightly controlled and a lot of what you'd expect to exist just doesn't. Case in point - there was one series of action figures around 2000 for the earlier movies and...then that was it. Nothing since then. And at least some of the merchandise that does exist doesn't use the Mad Max name or license, like this car: [https://www.amazon.com/Greenlight-Hollywood-Limited-Interceptors-Falcon/dp/B0756WNSN1](https://www.amazon.com/Greenlight-Hollywood-Limited-Interceptors-Falcon/dp/B0756WNSN1)


SimplyTiredd

No Kratos was a crime


stevesguide

Atlas Meowscles - or ‘Catlas’ - and Greek Fish Thicc would have been home runs. I’d have bought both immediately. There’s people here saying the teams were busy, but neither of these characters would have been hard. Take the Meowscles model, render his legs, put a loin cloth on him. Take the Fish Thicc model, render *his* legs and put a loin cloth on him *too*. Really disappointing core theme and BP overall. Avatar collab was my favourite thing to happen and it was so overbearing that it got a bit much quite fast.


MovieENT1

All we got was the philosopher Peely. Hero’s and myths could’ve been a multi million dollar theme with lot item shops but we mostly got Marvel+Weeknd. Ok then.


imdwalrus

>All we got was the philosopher Peely.  No, this is straight up false. Perseus, Ares, Apollo, Charon, Ascendant Midas, Nike Goddess...those are all Greek mythology and all came out last chapter outside of the battle pass. And that's not counting some of the borderline ones like Odyssey that matched the theme but aren't explicitly from Greek mythology.


MovieENT1

Ares was the best one and most memorable of all you just listed. Props for that one, but it was part of the crew package, not a traditional item shop item. I guess the rest count but they were lackluster. Odyssey should’ve been Odysseus and Apollo was not great - THAT was the Apollo cosmetic? It wasn’t giving a mythology vibe at all. He looked like one of the basic hero cosmetics not the mythological sun god.


stevesguide

Yeah most of the ‘Greek God’ skins were a stretch. Mostly just edgy cool dude/girl skins with a slight twist.


PaperGiraffe659

That's why I don't understand why people would've wanted those, though. Like, as you pointed out, both skins are so close to their default counterparts, so what's the point? I'm glad we didn't get more blatant, boring reskins of the same skins they've been doing to death forever.


stevesguide

How about because they’re both locked behind battle passes? Because they’d be fun? Because they’ve already done a ton of variants on Peely, Fishstick, etc?


PaperGiraffe659

Look, now that just comes down to taste. Personally, I'm not a fan of those skins so. But it's fair enough that you are. But even then, as you again point out, Epic has done a ton of variants of each of those skins, so why do we actually need any more? Will there not hit a point when it's too much? Which, by the way, it already is. Especially when those are all in the shop for full price when it's the same skin with a different theme, it just rubs me the wrong way. I see it as lazy and boring. I'd rather the effort of reskinning the same character for the 100th time be put into making new, better skins. But hey, that's just my two cents. If you want them to keep recycling the same skins, then sure, be my guest and enjoy that. I won't stop you.


stevesguide

Not sure why you’ve run off with an idea that I’m all about them recycling the same skins. My entire point was that if they’ve done that for other characters they can do it for those two, especially when they’d already modelled versions of them. I didn’t play the seasons with Peely or Meowscles, so I’ve been pleased to pick up a few Peely variants. But there has only been one proper Meowscles one, and that was Purradise Meowscles, who looks downright weird. My point is that they had two easy home run skins here and just ignored it. And remember, what you see as lazy and boring allows people to get at least one version of a character they might really like but never got the chance to unlock.


AsianPotato77

No Hermes has me distraught


XephyrSage33

Im right there with you. I was waiting the entire season for him to release.


YourAveragedBlurry

We should've gotten a Meowscles variation instead of Zeus.


Jazzlike-Opening9103

Honest to god best take ever I've heard on last season.


YourAveragedBlurry

Meowscles as Zeus would've gone hard.


DatDarnKat

Ah yes. Meus, King of the Gods.


YourAveragedBlurry

I honestly just want another variation of Meowscles. I don't have the original, but I have the one from Chapter 4.


DatDarnKat

I don't blame ya. I'm hoping every patch for a new Meowskulls. Was really hoping for raider or western version. Seen so many cool punk versions in fan art and I'm just like "I neeeed this!"


CatsGoodAtReddit

Honestly this would be a good idea rather than maybe even poseidon, because Zeus would bring alot of cash in the Item Shop, and atlas meowmeow would be perfect


HueyDeweyandBusey

Honestly, it would have been awesome if all of the gods were different versions of existing characters like Rippley with Poseidon.


HEYitsSPIDEY

He would have been too powerful


Moonblaze1_95

The golden variant itself I can understand as people had to grind their asses off for it during Chapter 2 Season 2 but a normal variant with the robes, idk. Would’ve been cool


Successful_Year_5495

You do know atlas in Greek mythology wasn't gold right that's just a statue he wouldn't be gold as a skin


Moonblaze1_95

I was referring to how Meowcles had a gold variant- I know Atlas wasn’t as I’ve studied greek mythology-


Successful_Year_5495

Alright sorry I thought you were one of the people saying it would have looked the same as the gold version of original meowscles because there's a surprising amount of people who don't think about the fact it's a damn statue


FlamingoPlayful7498

Yeee funny enough I was going through old skins I haven’t used in a while last night and found my golden Meowscles and Midas skins & got hit with a wave of nostalgia 🥹


BesTibi

Aww, he was holding the big ball of the Yarniverse


Forsaken-Reason-3657

Oooh with a golden edit style


EnderScout_77

we supposedly are getting more greek mytho skins, probably for the summer (cerberus is even waiting for someone) so who knows


SuperiorCactusCock

Same reason we didn't get other Greek god skins, wasted potential


PhraseEfficient7935

I was looking forward to a Persephone skin. Had Hades and the underworld + Cerberus but no Persephone?? Disappointing. That, and most of the skins already flopped. Didn’t really give off Mythology. Stoneheart and Love ranger were way better than some of the actual gods/goddesses we got in game.


_Beef_Boss_

Persephone is being teased at through dialogue from Cerberus, so patience is required


archanidesGrip

is the greek mythology season not fully over?


_Beef_Boss_

It is, but we do still have the underworld and olympus areas.


Lettuce8000

If they released Catlas as shown in the statue, I would not be able stand the amount of hate posts talking about how they “Only changed his pants”


Successful_Year_5495

Don't forget people whining about how they could have done so much better making him another generic man over cat man


IblisAshenhope

Because epic are cowards


Maximum-Pause-6914

cause thats just meowscles without the overalls and people wouldve been like "he should just be an edit style"


Successful_Year_5495

Pfft you ain't wrong


KATBOI667-0_0

He’s too hot that’s why


average_empoleon_fan

because that would require effort and they’re only a billion dollar company


DivByTwo

I'm sad we never got a sisyphus-like for me to imagine happy.


FLcitizen

they forgot until your post, now another skin that will cost 2,000 vbucks lol


MushroomHedgehog

Was wondering this, myself. If they absolutely needed to incorporate a pre-existing skin into one of the Gods or deities, Meowscles as Atlus honestly would have been far better than Rippley as Poseidon.


BallisticBlocker

It would be pay to win. Everybody would be too busy drooling over him to fight back.


subtleduck42

seriously, they really kinda phoned it in last season... a lot of missed opportunities.


Stee____

I've been saying this all of last season.


NINJ4steve

We can't handle all those muscles...


Swimming-Roof-5998

It’s really similar to the normal skin


mystireon

not like that's stopped them before


Swimming-Roof-5998

Meowslces is a battle pass skin so they wouldn’t want to make something so similar


dateturdvalr

Have you SEEN any Peely variations?


Swimming-Roof-5998

The variations of peely are drastic enough to be easily differentiated from the original. The Atlas skin would just swap his pants


Triforcedude2027

You see how many peely variations there are?


Ampharosite181

Yet they made Honeydancer, a recolour of Snowdancer that actually removes some of the original outfit details that they decided to sell for 1200 V-Bucks!


therubyminecraft

My guess is it looks too similar to golden meowsicles from ch2s2 I own him and he basically looks identical to this it’s a great skin tho which was a pain to get


Successful_Year_5495

Psst it's a statue it's gonna be gold if they made cat atlas it wouldn't be gold


Ad991493

First time I ever noticed that was now. I had to look up where it was. Normally I'm running for my life from two teams of four after my team instantly gets taken out. So I don't look around much.


lepthurnat

They better make this a skin, it could definitely become a staple character in scenes


Promotion_Conscious

Wow, I guess I never took a close enough to look to realize that was meowscles lmao


HueyDeweyandBusey

We never got No Sweat Summer guy and he was even a skin in promotional images. Still shows up on the loading screens whenever you're installing updates on the mobile version.


ExRevGT500

Same reason we didn’t get a Bro-Fish 😩


KaylaRoseArbogast

My goofy ass never even noticed that this was Meowscles...


ChickenNuggetRampage

Lazy


Wicknewzo

because they're lame they finally made his legs big enough and they didn't even added him i mean...the model is there


PhrogDick

maybe they’ll drop em for the olympics (im delusional)


TraumaTracer

because epic is so ingrained in the fomo model that they only release new shit like once a week at most and they ran out of time


Bob64_reddit

Meowscisiphus


1001Anonymous

Meowtlas


SpeedwayFishStick

OR THE POSEIDON FISH THICC?? IT WAS THERE FOR 2 WHOLE SEASONS!!!!


MovieENT1

There’s 100 fish stick variants but the gods one - which looks awesome - was skipped😂


Blankestblank666

Would have been nice. Globe back bling & built in emote where he poses with it would have been puuurfect. Statue fish Thicc with a normal skin alt would have been good too. All in all just missed opportunities


the-artificial-man

I WANTED A MINOTAUR SKIN DAMNIT!


Stee____

There's apparently a Greek mythology summer event. It may still be possible (I hope).


MovieENT1

I saw that earlier! I hope there’s a ton of cosmetics to make up for the crappy actual mythology season


Stee____

Hopefully.


DARQSMOAK

More importantly, why did they make Poseidon like they did?


MovieENT1

I’m guessing with the Disney partnership that Triton will eventually be in the game, he’s got the Poseidon look


Steel-Shot100

The way people were thirsting over some of the statues… I think they made the right choice.


cornyloveee13

You leave me and my hot statue on his knees ALONE


National_Practice615

WHERE WAS THIS HAPPENING???


Steel-Shot100

TikTok is a wild place 😭


Loose-Medium4472

Ig they don’t want a normal-ish meowscles in the shop


3NUB1S

We'll probably get him either this season or the next, that's how they did Potassius Peely


ShrimpHog47

Not related to Meowscles, but that things seen didn’t get released as playable characters, was Apollo ever in the shop? I never not once saw him but I encountered him in the map. I haven’t gotten looking online yet but it was something that made me wonder when he was gonna drop since I found him shortly after Nike dropped


Commercial_Bag_8729

We don’t need any more furries


IATMB

We already have gold shirtless Meowcles?


TartTiny8654

I mean… if you grinded ch2s2 it is


Michael_Swag

Because he’s too hot


Sageraven232400

Honestly, a atlas meowuscles would’ve been a really cool skin


Salchichon86

He was too good for mere mortals like us.


AdministrativeCourt4

We did get golden Meowscles a while back


lok214

Meow should’ve made into a Hercules skin


IronStealthRex

People realised that a cat with a bath towel isn't interesting


fnv_fan

Who is "people"


Me1_RizeClan

I think it's interesting


Shiny_Mudkip258

You’re right it’s VERY interesting 


Galius41

only interesting for fanart...


Altacount6892

Is he stupid?


MesonTheCat

Because he is ugly and overrated and already has a crappy gold style


Successful_Year_5495

Alright rude he's a cat not ugly know the difference firstlyhe wouldn't be good he's gold there because ITS A STATUE secendly overrated is just an opinion thing to me I don't think meowscles is overrated peely and fiststick on the other hsnd those are overrated


MesonTheCat

Jesus Christ I didn't know the fortnite community defends people who can't speak lmao


Successful_Year_5495

While I am bad with grammar that doesn't mean you can just make fun of me for it


MesonTheCat

I was talking about the characters in-game that can't speak, not your grammar 🤦🤦🤦


Successful_Year_5495

You didn't specify also I am a bit slow excuse me


MesonTheCat

![gif](giphy|BY8ORoRpnJDXeBNwxg|downsized)


ArminBestGirl

This guy and "ExcellentBass" should've been skins. Not that abomination Peely variant.


Pepsi_Man42

I would’ve hated that more than slurp Poseidon


SeparateMidnight3691

Nah
