The Metroid mascot could have starred alongside God of War’s Kratos and Halo’s Master Chief…

I’m actually surprised to see how many people want Samus in Fortnite. I just don’t understand, what does it matter? If you want to see your favorite character in something, you can go consume their media. What about shooting a gun and doing a dance makes it special?

I can’t kill you and teabag you as Samus in Metroid or as Kratos in God of War. Master Chief is the one that doesn’t make sense. You can kill and teabag each other as Master Chief in Halo.

So Epic games makes all that money because people want to teabag as their favorite characters?

Man we live in wild times 🙂

People can use skins to show that they’re fans of a particular work. The Metroid fans want to socially signal their Metroid fandom in Fortnite, which is a social game home to many non Metroid fans they can posture to.

It’s like wearing a costume to Comicon.

The costume analogy makes sense, everything else sounds kinda weird to me but I’m not trying to judge.
