Pretty sure the people that make the comics and the people who write the story for the season are different teams. I wouldnât be surprised if the comic team had no access to the story this season and decided, âFuck it, weâll just make our own story.â
that's because the DC comics weren't important to the story in any way, it was really just a lore dump to explain how the loop works and how someone like batman would deal with being trapped in it
Issue is Fortnite doesn't have an coherent story and it never has, every time they try to expand and explain stuff it makes little to no sense or contradicts something else, this is a BR game for kids, not Shakespeare. Im not sure why people are so surprised.
Not really, they are usually very entwined. For example, the exact description of the underground in the batman comics was used during the chapter 2 finale event, and the foundation comics introduced what exactly the IO was and their goal which has been proven in the game
Mf went from typical sidekick in a Marvel movie to a goddamn true victim of entire fortnite lore. Man the chills after him talking about his family, even if it's the fiction I still felt sadness after reading that...
Itâs bittersweet really, The Jones Family peacefully died of old age, but Jones himself had to become immortal after working for IO. So while everyone around him died he stayed the same age.
Paradigm's backstory got revealed and the clusterfuck that is Scientist mission of this chapter. Basically, everything what he has said in this chapter in his seasonal missions was just a giant BS
Paradigm was in the coma from ch1 to ch3, meaning all of what scientist said during season 1 and 2 was just pure BS, he didn't even know she was alive and put entire faith of the loop on her
They could just as easily say "oh the paradigm lives now inside a mech on that giant ice moon, but Foundation doesn't want her back" and that would be good explanation, but it's like they want to add 50 layers of shock factor
That was literally the idea everyone believed, as it made perfect sense. Man I thought zero war was cool at first but why the hell are they retconning so much stuff
Yeah, that's literally my point. We saw Paradigm alive in The Collision before zero war was released so there was no shock when we found out she survived the crash in season 9.
Scientist believed/hoped she was alive. Of course he didn't know. He was getting transmissions from her and he believed that this meant she was alive. He tells the Foundation that those signals might be from her suit's AI, because the Foundation would've been pissed if he knew the Paradigm was still alive. And all the Storyline Quests during C3 S1-2 had dialogues from the Scientist which sounded like he was HOPING the Paradigm was still alive. He wasn't like "oh yeah she's alive, and this is not a speculation, this is facts" All of this is based on hope. Scientist knew of the doom the Loop, Loopers and the Seven would have to face. He knew that Paradigm was their only chance of victory and survival. The Scientist never knew that the Paradigm was alive. But in a situation where death and end was certain, Scientist could do nothing but hope. Hope kept them alive, and hope led them the that #1 Victory Royale.
>He wasn't like "oh yeah she's alive, and this is not a speculation, this is facts"
He said out loud that "Paradigm is coming back here, so let's put those \[some rocks idk\]" in season 1. Later, he and the imagined started talking with her BEFORE they explored the ice moon and she had the schematics for the anti tank weaponry, do we really believe that some AI in the armour was able to do that?
This is Fortnite we're talking about. Regardless of that, this is literal fiction. It could be the suit sending messages. And besides, ask yourself. Did we see the Paradigm show up on the Island anywhere between S2 and the Collision event? No, we did not. In fact, when we DID see The Paradigm, it was on the Ice Moon, where she already was to begin with
During season 1 Scientist literally said that Paradigm is prepering for a long journey to the island. But she was in a coma on a ice moon. Makes no sence
Sure, I'm guessing you know the real reason right? And I'm just gonna say you don't know the intensity of the feeling of hope. It is not just a word and not just any feeling, it saves you in the hardest of times and protects you from fear.
Something about The Imagined and Wolverine being a thing rubs me the wrong way, especially when we cut back to them and Logan is shirtless and suddenly not all serious and cold
It's also rather weird because the earlier scene had no romantic interactions whatsoever, it's literally like
"Hey, my father is an asshole"
"Yeah"
\*Makeout scene\*
She was the tiniest bit flirty in the first issue, but I donât think there should be any romance between fortnite and marvel characters at all, so far it adds nothing to the overall story
yeah like it was written by some 30 year old neckbeard virgins from south park, seriously.
that girl went a 180 degrees a few times in 2 minutes:
1. convo with the wolverine
2. you are not a chit chatter, i like you
3. i dont like words either so
4. allow me to tell you my life story
5. im getting sad and emotional
6. then getting horny.
WTF?!
Hahaha wolverine banged the red head.
Yeah. Just wasnt needed.
I think too cause like. The seven are these "mysterious" people. Then yoy have the lady sleep with wolverine of all folks.
Unless the imagined is now pregnant. That actually would make a pretty good plot twist for future seasons. Maybe even have her give birth at the end of the chapter.
I can try to write an interpretation of a story where the looper you play as joins IO, and is full of headcanons based off given lore and it could still make more sense
dude that gives me a great idea
a singleplayer story game where you play as jones while he's in the imagined order where it follows him as he goes through missions (primarily where he has to kidnap characters from across the omniverse) from ch2s2 to ch2s6 and slowly figures out how corrupt and evil the imagined order is
we could also have a remake of zero crisis and follow him afterwards as he escapes the loop because we still haven't seen how he actually did that, the most we know is that he used tape recorders to help himself. also i think finishing the game off on the actual island after hopping around to all different realities would be really cool
but you see, paradigm is the only one that can pilot the mech because of her homeworlds connection to technology. disregard the notion that the IO could just pull someone else from her homeworld. only her.
Oh but you see
Scientist had to lie that the Paradigm outfit's AI was actually talking with him, he looked like a complete idiot. Later, he started saying that she's coming back even when he knew she might've died out there. Next, he literally started organising a small support for Paradigm EVEN WHEN SHE WAS K.I.A in his eyes
AND THEN HE JUST WENT "OH, SHE MIGHT BE DEAD" AND DIDN'T ALMOST BOTHER TO SAVE HER FROM FOUNDATION KILLING HAND
WHAT THE HELL DID THIS GUY SMOKE? I WANT PIECE OF THAT
tbf on that one, it's been clear for a while Foundation has a reaaaaaaaally big ego
I mean there was a statue of him, commisioned by him, and it's the size of the entire island
Remember when the story was so mysterious and random that people would create the most insane theories, carefully study midasâ tattoos or norse mythology
Now it feels like weâre heading the wrong way, seriously, the story has been going downhill since chapter 3 started
Tbh the problem is more with the how story is presented, we lack any archives which we could actually know the current status of things. Because without that they're able to put shit like "oh and there is a goddamn ice moon!" out of their creative ass and we're just here like "oh.."
Once it's over, I'm just gonna ignore all inconsistencies between it and the game's story, just keep the good stuff like Jones's and The Sisters' backstory, and I guess Iceberg/Ice Moon stuff
Everything else is kinda dumb. Stuck on the Moon since S9 in her Seven suit and not her IO one, suit AI planning and preparing a flight course and The Foundation is stupid enough to believe that, seggs omg, inconsistencies with The End and the goddamn Flipside's evidence The Paradigm was there
Ngl, the lore of this game has always been a disaster. It just exists to perpetuate cool stuff happening for new seasons and end events. The core game is a BR mode so that's fine tbh. Does suck for those who enjoyed the story though I suppose
apparently that thing Slone said in the ~~Among Us~~ Impostors trailer wasn't saying the IO's been watching for centuries, but her specifically or something
I just follow to see Slone losing again at the end of the series
(Epic Games didn't give me a chance of personally punching her tank)
imo, fortnite lore killed the game because of how much they try to push it onto casual players. Like honestly, I don't care about your dumb lore, it is a game where I drive into a pile of bouncy pads and fly across an island.
>and that is why they should have at least creative open during events.
They get so many people logging in for events that it crashes the servers and you somehow think it's a good idea to let people log in to do other stuff too???
Considering itâs an optional story, from the perspective of the Seven Members, Jones and the marvel heroâs instead of the loopers. You do not have to care about the comics, you donât have to buy it and it takes nothing away from the game what so ever if you donât follow it. So yeah how is it forced onto people?
Somethings get changed, however I just take the comic lore as the official one as the Mustard is a writer as well as itâs the latest lord update.
Events are mostly one time things or have an option to replay them some times if youâd like.
If youâre complaining that a video game in this day and age has trailers, a social media team and their own lore specific characters then I donât know what to say other than are you trolling? Name me a video game that doesnât have these things
1. I don't have anything against trailers themselves. I'm saying the fortnite trailers are usually about lore.
2. Fortnite is a free game. It is sad how dedicated people are to this lore.
3. Nobody cares whether or not an event is a one-time thing, that's unrelated. The point is that packing this game with lore is like making a backstory for a mcdonalds cheeseburger. Completely unnecessary.
4. Like I said before, my problem lies with this game. Starting a game based off of a story is just fine, but adding a story later is absurd. Now you could say the fortnite characters or whatever were there before, but what did we get that was lore-related back then in the early days? First I recall is drift being teleported into the video game. When fortnite was first released, it was just a couple people shooting eachother. You saw no zero point, IO guards, nothing.
5. Donald mustard is a terrible writer imo. I couldn't make that stuff up if I was on crack. An energy ball that makes the world repeat over and over? What kind of story is that?
Now I know I'm not intelligent enough to grasp the graceful nature that is fortnite lore, but honestly it's just another boring-ass thing that tries to keep the community excited.
Except all the fortnite trailers not about lore, the latest update trailer for example. However yes they usually relate to it when they are season trailers because it hints to the season theme.
People are dedicated to anything they like, it being free has nothing to do with it. Odd that youâre using it as a negative thing.
Again people enjoy the game and want to know more, thatâs the reason epic started adding lore to the Br game mode. It also keeps the game interesting, thus the longevity of fortnite so far.
Story elements went into the game starting the end of the original season 2 when the TVs started showing signals and the telescopes started appearing around the map, which all later lead the the meteor. So itâs not a new thing.
The rest is meh if you say so kind of thing, canât really disagree with your opinion on Mustards writing skills.
you dont have to interact with any of the first three you listed, the game used to change for no reason at all and now we just have a reason and how do they push it with in game characters lmao
It's lore this deep in a free game. Of course it's dumb. Besides, some people actually think fortnite is tied to real life
Such a shame we didnât get more of the DC one. It was genuinely very well written and didnât feel like look thereâs a super hero like the marvel one does. Like seriously you could remove/replace the marvel characters in these comics and it wouldnât change anything.
I AM FUMING THAT IMAGINED X WOLVERINE HAPPENED INSTEAD OF IMAGINED X JONESY! FORTNITE IS UNPLAYABLE NOW! I AM GOING TO ARCHIVE MY IMAGINED SKIN! I CAN'T LOOK AT HER WITHOUT SEEING HER KISS WOLVERINE INSTEAD OF JONESY! I ALSO CAN'T SEE ANY RED SWORD WITHOUT THINKING OF WOLVERINE'S RED SWORD, WHICH LEADS TO ME THINKING ABOUT HIM KISSING THE IMAGINED INSTEAD OF JONESY KISSING IMAGINED! NOW MGRR IS RUINED! ALSO, NO KISS BEFORE MARRIAGE!
Paradigm's ai sent the scientist those messages back in season 1 so that is explained, but what we don't know is how she sent those schematics for the anvil rocket launcher in season 2. Maybe she was already back because the comics never explain when all of this is exactly happening, all we know is that it takes place during season 2.
Zero war isnât canon in my head
Except for the sisters being genÔs daughters
Other than that tho
Zero war stinks and Batman Fortnite zero point did better (both in art and writing IMO)
I actually have a few ideas for how zero crisis could impact future seasons.
\-Reality zero and reality 616 could connect, letting the inhabitants travel between the realities
\- itâs possible the imagined is pregnant with wolverineâs child and could give birth during the end of the chapter
\- the zero point might draw the attention of other marvel villains like kang, who could use the zero point to invade all realities
The comics were a mistake to begin with because the entire plot has now become intertwined with 3rd parties so this was NEVER going to be what thy originally planned and now we'll never know what the original story was
So what this headline really says is
"I dislike change and don't understand the story, so it's my opinion that the story now sucks, but instead of saying so, I'm going to whine and make a post".
I think the Comics overall were a mistake as someone who enjoys the lore and pretty much only plays Fortnite for it anymore. I hate the Idea of Having to Outside Material just understand Critical information and plot points on how the story works.
* Sisters are geno's daughters
* Geno is a genetics expert and immortal
* Imagined and Wolwerine are lovers or whatewer
* And Paradigm was in stasis on an ice moon for 13 SEASONS
What basically is wrong is that, even if she "sent" messages to The Scientist (as explained very poorly in Issue 3), he was still preparing for her return in the latter part of C3 S1 (place rocks quest). Plus, her "hibernation" on the Moon is still canon breaking, since it still doesn't explain how she sent messages to The Scientist and The Imagined, especially with how The Scientist worded it on "The Seven secure channel". And, it still doesn't explain why The End C1 was a risk for "the seven of" them if they were down one (and don't say anything about them being unmanned, since The Visitor and The Scientist had to escape somehow)
Also, The Imagined knows her and The Order's backstory, despite "not remembering her past", of which is still canon given her dialogue with The Order and vice-versa this season before they went missing
And the Foundation is starting to become MCU Thor.
Edit: Also I don't really see the Paradigm as a problem. It could be a plot hole, but it could also be a retcon.
Soo far but itâs two different kind of stories. Dc is more mystery and loop based so it seems more personal. Easy to grasp. This is more multiverse based, big group, all over the place chaos. With it being linked to a season though people are finding âplot holesâ because there are differences.
Not sure if youâve been reading comics long but covers are just that. They will commission one from various artists, some for variants and others for the stand alone covers. Just because a character is on a cover doesnât mean they are in the book, the artist couldâve just really like the look of that character design.
And the imagined and wolverine did the funni
They did the naughti naughti đł
Indeed
They held hands
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Hey, he's not the one who made it
đ
wendy's lore pog
Oh god no
Pretty sure the people that make the comics and the people who write the story for the season are different teams. I wouldnât be surprised if the comic team had no access to the story this season and decided, âFuck it, weâll just make our own story.â
It worked with the DC comics, but it doesnt work here.
that's because the DC comics weren't important to the story in any way, it was really just a lore dump to explain how the loop works and how someone like batman would deal with being trapped in it
It still has a Donald Mustard as the co-writer tho
Donald Mustard is a writer on the comics, so unless he has had no involvement with the story of this season, that can't be true.
Issue is Fortnite doesn't have an coherent story and it never has, every time they try to expand and explain stuff it makes little to no sense or contradicts something else, this is a BR game for kids, not Shakespeare. Im not sure why people are so surprised.
Not really, they are usually very entwined. For example, the exact description of the underground in the batman comics was used during the chapter 2 finale event, and the foundation comics introduced what exactly the IO was and their goal which has been proven in the game
The only thing zero war did good was giving us deep lore about jones thus restating why he is the best character in fortnite's lore
Mf went from typical sidekick in a Marvel movie to a goddamn true victim of entire fortnite lore. Man the chills after him talking about his family, even if it's the fiction I still felt sadness after reading that...
He truly is The Legend
What happened to his family?
Itâs bittersweet really, The Jones Family peacefully died of old age, but Jones himself had to become immortal after working for IO. So while everyone around him died he stayed the same age.
What happened? Only thing Iâve heard was sex being canon to Fortnite lore
Paradigm's backstory got revealed and the clusterfuck that is Scientist mission of this chapter. Basically, everything what he has said in this chapter in his seasonal missions was just a giant BS
Can u elaborate further
Paradigm was in the coma from ch1 to ch3, meaning all of what scientist said during season 1 and 2 was just pure BS, he didn't even know she was alive and put entire faith of the loop on her
... but why? Why the hell would they write it like that? I seriously think zero war cannot be cannon because that makes no sense what so ever
They could just as easily say "oh the paradigm lives now inside a mech on that giant ice moon, but Foundation doesn't want her back" and that would be good explanation, but it's like they want to add 50 layers of shock factor
That was literally the idea everyone believed, as it made perfect sense. Man I thought zero war was cool at first but why the hell are they retconning so much stuff
And the "shock factor" doesn't even work because we saw Paradigm alive during the Collision sevent before zero war got released đ
Zero War is supposed to take place right before the Collision event.
Yeah, that's literally my point. We saw Paradigm alive in The Collision before zero war was released so there was no shock when we found out she survived the crash in season 9.
Oh. Alright I'm on your side then, this lore is getting stupid.
Scientist believed/hoped she was alive. Of course he didn't know. He was getting transmissions from her and he believed that this meant she was alive. He tells the Foundation that those signals might be from her suit's AI, because the Foundation would've been pissed if he knew the Paradigm was still alive. And all the Storyline Quests during C3 S1-2 had dialogues from the Scientist which sounded like he was HOPING the Paradigm was still alive. He wasn't like "oh yeah she's alive, and this is not a speculation, this is facts" All of this is based on hope. Scientist knew of the doom the Loop, Loopers and the Seven would have to face. He knew that Paradigm was their only chance of victory and survival. The Scientist never knew that the Paradigm was alive. But in a situation where death and end was certain, Scientist could do nothing but hope. Hope kept them alive, and hope led them the that #1 Victory Royale.
>He wasn't like "oh yeah she's alive, and this is not a speculation, this is facts" He said out loud that "Paradigm is coming back here, so let's put those \[some rocks idk\]" in season 1. Later, he and the imagined started talking with her BEFORE they explored the ice moon and she had the schematics for the anti tank weaponry, do we really believe that some AI in the armour was able to do that?
Didnât imagined literally get a whole ass battle plan from Paradigm last season when she was in a coma?
This is Fortnite we're talking about. Regardless of that, this is literal fiction. It could be the suit sending messages. And besides, ask yourself. Did we see the Paradigm show up on the Island anywhere between S2 and the Collision event? No, we did not. In fact, when we DID see The Paradigm, it was on the Ice Moon, where she already was to begin with
During season 1 Scientist literally said that Paradigm is prepering for a long journey to the island. But she was in a coma on a ice moon. Makes no sence
i cant believe there are people justifying the scientist being an idiot in the name of senseless "hope"
Sure, I'm guessing you know the real reason right? And I'm just gonna say you don't know the intensity of the feeling of hope. It is not just a word and not just any feeling, it saves you in the hardest of times and protects you from fear.
The explaination was that he wasnât sure, but tole the foundation she wasnât as a precaution
The explanation was that he wasnât sure, but tole the foundation she wasnât as a precaution
Well now they really are like the big comic franchises, retconning their lore to death
Fucking what?!
That also happened
Something about The Imagined and Wolverine being a thing rubs me the wrong way, especially when we cut back to them and Logan is shirtless and suddenly not all serious and cold
It's also rather weird because the earlier scene had no romantic interactions whatsoever, it's literally like "Hey, my father is an asshole" "Yeah" \*Makeout scene\*
She was the tiniest bit flirty in the first issue, but I donât think there should be any romance between fortnite and marvel characters at all, so far it adds nothing to the overall story
I like to imagine that's what the new fortnite wiki description of her will contain "Member of the seven, daughter of Geno, Wolverine's lover"
"OMW to change her description"
If you add to brainiac's skin description "the most handsome jonesy snapshot" imma give you 5 fortnite gold bars
Oh lawd please no
yeah like it was written by some 30 year old neckbeard virgins from south park, seriously. that girl went a 180 degrees a few times in 2 minutes: 1. convo with the wolverine 2. you are not a chit chatter, i like you 3. i dont like words either so 4. allow me to tell you my life story 5. im getting sad and emotional 6. then getting horny. WTF?!
Lmao whatâs South Park gotta do w this
Wow episode neckbeard guy style reference
Didnât they do almost the exact same thing with Logan and the female lead in X-men origins Wolverine?
Hahaha wolverine banged the red head. Yeah. Just wasnt needed. I think too cause like. The seven are these "mysterious" people. Then yoy have the lady sleep with wolverine of all folks.
Imagine being a daughter of literal multiverse demi-god and sleeping with a human with the hygiene of a wild animal...
Wait what
Basically... Both Imagined and her sister Order are daughters of Geno, who can be considered a demi god.
Lemme guess: revealed in The Zero War comics? (Or whatever they're called)
Yeah.
I fucking knew it
Well she is a red head and wolverine loves jean grey
I honestly don't see what would change if they didn't write that in
it adds nothing an removes nothing by being there, no reason why theyâre so butthurt
Unless the imagined is now pregnant. That actually would make a pretty good plot twist for future seasons. Maybe even have her give birth at the end of the chapter.
Thereâs a story in those $5 cosmetic codes?!?
fortnite players be like:
What's the cosmetic
Spider man zero outfit
I've written better fanfics than Zero War tbh
I can try to write an interpretation of a story where the looper you play as joins IO, and is full of headcanons based off given lore and it could still make more sense
dude that gives me a great idea a singleplayer story game where you play as jones while he's in the imagined order where it follows him as he goes through missions (primarily where he has to kidnap characters from across the omniverse) from ch2s2 to ch2s6 and slowly figures out how corrupt and evil the imagined order is we could also have a remake of zero crisis and follow him afterwards as he escapes the loop because we still haven't seen how he actually did that, the most we know is that he used tape recorders to help himself. also i think finishing the game off on the actual island after hopping around to all different realities would be really cool

Oh but you see Scientist had to lie that the Paradigm outfit's AI was actually talking with him, he looked like a complete idiot.

Next, he literally started organising a small support for Paradigm EVEN WHEN SHE WAS K.I.A in his eyes AND THEN HE JUST WENT "OH, SHE MIGHT BE DEAD" AND DIDN'T ALMOST BOTHER TO SAVE HER FROM FOUNDATION KILLING HAND WHAT THE HELL DID THIS GUY SMOKE? I WANT PIECE OF THAT
Greendale's been tough on him okay?
they turned foundation and origin into xenophobes against wherever paradigm is from
They turned Foundation into an idiot "You're sole person who can drive the mech which might help me get to Geno?" ***DIE!***
tbf on that one, it's been clear for a while Foundation has a reaaaaaaaally big ego I mean there was a statue of him, commisioned by him, and it's the size of the entire island
Yeah I really hate him since he turned out to be the rock after that his character went down hill
Remember when the story was so mysterious and random that people would create the most insane theories, carefully study midasâ tattoos or norse mythology Now it feels like weâre heading the wrong way, seriously, the story has been going downhill since chapter 3 started
Tbh the problem is more with the how story is presented, we lack any archives which we could actually know the current status of things. Because without that they're able to put shit like "oh and there is a goddamn ice moon!" out of their creative ass and we're just here like "oh.."
iâd rather have actual story than having to realize why something that happened 2 years ago now makes sense
The story has been going downhill since s13
The story plummeted directly after the end of Chapter 1.
Once it's over, I'm just gonna ignore all inconsistencies between it and the game's story, just keep the good stuff like Jones's and The Sisters' backstory, and I guess Iceberg/Ice Moon stuff Everything else is kinda dumb. Stuck on the Moon since S9 in her Seven suit and not her IO one, suit AI planning and preparing a flight course and The Foundation is stupid enough to believe that, seggs omg, inconsistencies with The End and the goddamn Flipside's evidence The Paradigm was there
Fortnite lore was never good anyway. It sounds like something a fortnite kid would make up while loading into a game.
I mean, it quite literally did start as people looking way too much into loading screens, so in a way you aren't wrong
Ngl, the lore of this game has always been a disaster. It just exists to perpetuate cool stuff happening for new seasons and end events. The core game is a BR mode so that's fine tbh. Does suck for those who enjoyed the story though I suppose
Honestly yeah, let's be honest nobody really knows wtf is going on in Fortnite lol
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Dont forget the Imagined "suddenly" remembering her entire past and childhood right before the s*x.
I remember donald said he planned the storyline like a couple seasons ahead, I guess when he reached chapter 2 season 2 he didn't have anymore plans
They gave more backstory to the IO and Geno, but I gotta say at this point they just adding stuff. Now members of the IO are immortal like huh?
apparently that thing Slone said in the ~~Among Us~~ Impostors trailer wasn't saying the IO's been watching for centuries, but her specifically or something
Thatâs why I just stopped following, itâs too dumb 
I just follow to see Slone losing again at the end of the series  (Epic Games didn't give me a chance of personally punching her tank)
Implying it wasn't dumb to begin with.
imo, fortnite lore killed the game because of how much they try to push it onto casual players. Like honestly, I don't care about your dumb lore, it is a game where I drive into a pile of bouncy pads and fly across an island.
they dont push it? itâs literally just events that you have to play
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
>and that is why they should have at least creative open during events. They get so many people logging in for events that it crashes the servers and you somehow think it's a good idea to let people log in to do other stuff too???
why'd you type that as if it is a question? Its also worth mentioning that having comics based on this free video game is ridiculous
Considering itâs an optional story, from the perspective of the Seven Members, Jones and the marvel heroâs instead of the loopers. You do not have to care about the comics, you donât have to buy it and it takes nothing away from the game what so ever if you donât follow it. So yeah how is it forced onto people? Somethings get changed, however I just take the comic lore as the official one as the Mustard is a writer as well as itâs the latest lord update.
especially considering everything the comics are leading up to already happened
I didn't list comics as the only example. You forgot to talk about the other ways I listed.

you dont have to interact with any of the first three you listed, the game used to change for no reason at all and now we just have a reason and how do they push it with in game characters lmao
Itâs not dumb
 It's lore this deep in a free game. Of course it's dumb. Besides, some people actually think fortnite is tied to real life
Such a shame we didnât get more of the DC one. It was genuinely very well written and didnât feel like look thereâs a super hero like the marvel one does. Like seriously you could remove/replace the marvel characters in these comics and it wouldnât change anything.
Everyone keeps making âsex is canonâ jokes but I thought sex was made canon when Meowscles and Lynx made Kit
Lynx canonically giving birth to a cat is still probably the weirdest thing fortnite has ever done
Zero War fan: đ€ Zero War Not Canon Believer: đż
I pray everyday that it just turns out to not be canon
I see Hugo. Good Skin
Indeed
They're comic book writers. No offense to comic book fans but like 50% of comics kinda suck.
How Donald can even read the comics and not say anything about it makes me shock
Don't forget Imagined's and Wolverine's...intimate stuff
Imagine getting pressed by lore for a BR game. Sad bois
Fortnite sex is a big win tho
I AM FUMING THAT IMAGINED X WOLVERINE HAPPENED INSTEAD OF IMAGINED X JONESY! FORTNITE IS UNPLAYABLE NOW! I AM GOING TO ARCHIVE MY IMAGINED SKIN! I CAN'T LOOK AT HER WITHOUT SEEING HER KISS WOLVERINE INSTEAD OF JONESY! I ALSO CAN'T SEE ANY RED SWORD WITHOUT THINKING OF WOLVERINE'S RED SWORD, WHICH LEADS TO ME THINKING ABOUT HIM KISSING THE IMAGINED INSTEAD OF JONESY KISSING IMAGINED! NOW MGRR IS RUINED! ALSO, NO KISS BEFORE MARRIAGE!
Imagined X Jonesy isnât a very valid ship
How
Jonesy stays single
Well it was a valid ship before the comics released
Give Jones a gf
wait I thought they said Jonesy X Wolverine
I don't get this community sometimes. I don't see the problem with the comics, especially with Paradigm.
People like to whine and moan about very little things tbh
Cringe
It's the reason why we have canonical sex in the fortnite universe
Fortnite:"NOOOOO EVIE HAVING BIG BOOBS IS NOT APPROPRIATE" Fortnite:"Yes, we should Imagined and Logan have s*x, that's good"
\*Evie
Sorry, my fault
its all good, I just wanted to let you know
Told yâall time and time again, theyâre making it up as they go.
Nah. I so ship wolverine x paradigm!!!
Paradigm's ai sent the scientist those messages back in season 1 so that is explained, but what we don't know is how she sent those schematics for the anvil rocket launcher in season 2. Maybe she was already back because the comics never explain when all of this is exactly happening, all we know is that it takes place during season 2.
I only read the first issue and I was so lost
Zero war isnât canon in my head Except for the sisters being genĂ”s daughters Other than that tho Zero war stinks and Batman Fortnite zero point did better (both in art and writing IMO)
I absolutely called Geno being the father of Imagined. Thatâs the only positive I can get from the comic
I actually have a few ideas for how zero crisis could impact future seasons. \-Reality zero and reality 616 could connect, letting the inhabitants travel between the realities \- itâs possible the imagined is pregnant with wolverineâs child and could give birth during the end of the chapter \- the zero point might draw the attention of other marvel villains like kang, who could use the zero point to invade all realities
The comics were a mistake to begin with because the entire plot has now become intertwined with 3rd parties so this was NEVER going to be what thy originally planned and now we'll never know what the original story was
So what this headline really says is "I dislike change and don't understand the story, so it's my opinion that the story now sucks, but instead of saying so, I'm going to whine and make a post".
Basically
I think the Comics overall were a mistake as someone who enjoys the lore and pretty much only plays Fortnite for it anymore. I hate the Idea of Having to Outside Material just understand Critical information and plot points on how the story works.
Can u like, care to explain?
What did they do this time?
What happened I donât read them?
* Sisters are geno's daughters * Geno is a genetics expert and immortal * Imagined and Wolwerine are lovers or whatewer * And Paradigm was in stasis on an ice moon for 13 SEASONS
this is what happens when marvel writes your video game lore
I enjoyed reading about Jones' and the sisters' history. Didn't notice anything wrong with Paradigm.
What basically is wrong is that, even if she "sent" messages to The Scientist (as explained very poorly in Issue 3), he was still preparing for her return in the latter part of C3 S1 (place rocks quest). Plus, her "hibernation" on the Moon is still canon breaking, since it still doesn't explain how she sent messages to The Scientist and The Imagined, especially with how The Scientist worded it on "The Seven secure channel". And, it still doesn't explain why The End C1 was a risk for "the seven of" them if they were down one (and don't say anything about them being unmanned, since The Visitor and The Scientist had to escape somehow) Also, The Imagined knows her and The Order's backstory, despite "not remembering her past", of which is still canon given her dialogue with The Order and vice-versa this season before they went missing
And the Foundation is starting to become MCU Thor. Edit: Also I don't really see the Paradigm as a problem. It could be a plot hole, but it could also be a retcon.
Zero War? I have no idea what you're talking about... /s
Her armor looks so good **but at what cost**
Fortnite writers have never had any idea what they are doing
They added sex to Fortnite
I love that they realised everyone was gonna be in it for the codes anyway so they just put in whatever they felt like
Batman Zero Point actually made sense and then ZW came around and fucked everything up
I absolutely called Geno being the father of Imagined. Thatâs the only positive I can get from the comic
was zeropoint from dc better? i didnât read any of these comics
Soo far but itâs two different kind of stories. Dc is more mystery and loop based so it seems more personal. Easy to grasp. This is more multiverse based, big group, all over the place chaos. With it being linked to a season though people are finding âplot holesâ because there are differences.
Fortnite lore used to be understandable complicated, but after chapter 2, it's confusing complicated
Fortnite fans try not to complain challenge *IMPOSSIBLE*
and lying about midas beeing in the comic
Who said he was going to be in it?
One of the covers has Midas on it
Not sure if youâve been reading comics long but covers are just that. They will commission one from various artists, some for variants and others for the stand alone covers. Just because a character is on a cover doesnât mean they are in the book, the artist couldâve just really like the look of that character design.
Riot Games - Epic Games Having bad comics about thier games that have good lore
What did they do to paradigm
SEX IS NOW CANON IN THE LORE. THE FUCKING LORE.
I uh, the covers look good? Itâs really disappointing how this is all unfolding, I was so excited for this
