Prepare yourselves, Fortnite lovers: this Item Shop of the day is that dream-or-nightmare of some Marvel fans. A major update arrived just two days ago, with a grand return of heavy hitters from the Marvel universe; the community, well… split.
The biggest one first; Thanos is back. It’s that big purple guy again, with all the glitters of “Snap” special effects. Missing him the first time? Now’s your chance to pretend to wipe out half the universe with just a flick of a finger. Well, some players are really displeased. Whose tweet once said, “That’s not the Thanos we want,” which… okay, fair enough? Maybe they were expecting a completely different kind of Thanos. Who knows?
Then, after 242 days of absence, Gamora and Star-Lord are back! Yeah, that is eight months and a few days since the last hitting of the Guardians of the Galaxy skins in the shop—a matter for some. For others (cough Street Fighter cough), it is just a painful reminder that their favorite skins are still MIA!
Talking about Street Fighter—oh, how spicy!! Players lynch Epic for neglecting the Street Fighter collab. One disgruntled player (@NoxLimitGeneral) was shouting, “Where is the street fighter skins man, Marvel skins are in the shop every season!!!!!!!” While another (@djbestgamergod) descended into a full emoji meltdown: “No Street Fighter skins trash shop🗑️💀😑🤦🏾♂️🤡☠️🥱.” That hurts.
Well, hey, some others are actually amused. The return of the “Classy” emote is making them happy, @1plusthenine calling it “one of the sexiest dances in the game.” Then there’s @leo_Zen00 just vibing to the entire Marvel theme and calling it “absolutely legendary🔥.”
While others are just confused, like why would Judge all these Marvel skins so soon before a supposed superhero season? Well, @porlarojamorire asked, “Wasn’t it easier to save these damn superhero skins for the damn superhero season in two days?” Fair enough.
Then after come the usual bunch of random requests—begging for Ash Williams, Star Wars gliders, and some dude (@Dripzfv) plugging his Fortnite giveaways. Classic item shop frenzy.
So, what’s the bottom line here? For the Marvel stan, tonight’s shop is an absolute must-cop. Waiting on Street Fighter, Resident Evil, or literally anything else… well, maybe next time. Or the time after that. Or—let’s be real—never, because Epic loves keeping us guessing.
In any case, the shop is live, so go check out before it rotates. And hey, if you’re feeling generous, don’t forget to use promo code “Shiina” at checkout. No pressure, but… you know. Support the homies.
And for those still believing in Street Fighter’s arrival—some players are sure they’re dropping next week. Others are thinking Epic trolling at this point. Anyhow, the drama never dies.
Fortnite: where the skins are temporary, but the complaints last forever.
