Fortnite Civil War erupts as players fight over the new Captain Jonesy skin
FortniteFortnite’s latest skin has sparked a heated debate among players, creating what many are calling a “Fortnite Civil War.”
The controversy erupted after the trailer for Chapter 5 Season 4 dropped, revealing Captain Jonesy in a Marvel-inspired outfit.
In the trailer for the upcoming season, several familiar faces from Fortnite sport Marvel-themed attire. However, it’s Captain Jonesy’s look that has captured the most attention. Jonesy, who has become the face of Fortnite since its launch, now wears Captain Marvel’s outfit.
This twist has fans split down the middle, which one Reddit user screen-capped and dubbed a “Fortnite Civil War.”
After the trailer dropped, the community exploded with polarized reactions to Captain Jonesy coming to Fortnite.
One user lamented, “A lot of people will probably disagree, but honestly, Jonesy dressed as Captain America seems like a lame battle pass skin. He looks boring compared to the rest. I doubt many would buy him if he was in the shop.”
In contrast, another user defended the choice, questioning the hate for Captain Jonesy in Fortnite.
Comments on the post with the screenshot ranged from enthusiastic to critical. One fan said, “Even though we had a Brite Cap skin, I’m a sucker for seeing Jonesy in a Marvel outfit. I’d love to use him in games.”
Another Fortnite player agreed, noting, “It’s iconic for Jonesy to be dressed as anything. I’d buy him over the normal Captain America skin any day.”
On the flip side, some expressed disappointment with Captain Jonesy in Fortnite.
“The design they chose is boring,” one player remarked. “Jonesy had so much potential. I’m most disappointed about Peelvorine though.”
As Chapter 5 Season 4 unfolds, Fortnite players eagerly anticipate the season’s Marvel-themed battle pass.
However, this enthusiasm might come at the cost of future DC collaborations. Fans hope the Marvel influx doesn’t signal the end of DC’s role in the game, as they brace for more surprises in the coming months.
