Fortnite Season 4 makes fans nostalgic for old Hasbro Marvel action figures Hasbro\/FortniteA 2014 Hasbro commercial for Marvel toys hit Fortnite players in their feelings, as some of the scenes and features shown in the ad look strangely similar to the features in Chapter 5 Season 4. This second Marvel-themed Fortnite season allows players to mix and match superhero parts to create their ultimate Marvel-inspired character. If you\u2019ve got Marvel skins, you can deck out your avatar with your favorite heroes\u2019 mythic loot. During a battle royale match, you might run into Deadpool sporting Doctor Doom\u2019s gauntlets or Peelverine ditching his claws to sport the War Machine Arsenal gloves. While Marvel is the main theme, one sharp-eyed player stumbled upon an old Hasbro ad that is surprisingly similar to Fortnite season and shared it on Reddit. The commercial, from 2014, featured Super Hero Mashers, a toy line that allowed kids to mix and match Marvel heroes. The ad featured Spider-Man, Captain America, Doctor Doom, Iron Man, and Wolverine \u2013 the same characters that are front and center in Fortnite. In the commercial, Spider-Man even hurls Captain America\u2019s shield at Doctor Doom \u2013 the not-so-villain of Fortnite Chapter 5 Season 4 \u2013 in a move that Fortnite players can currently recreate. However, the Captain America shield is, shall we say, slightly less shield-y after the recent nerfs. The Redditors had a blast with this discovery. One user joked, \u201cFortnite is basically just buying action figures and playing with them.\u201d Most comments show a shared sense of nostalgia, with many agreeing, \u201cthey were goated toys.\u201d One player even thanked the owner of the post for reminding them they owned some of the Marvel Mashers. \u201cNow I have the urge to mess with them in the morning,\u201d they shared. Whether Epic Games took a page from Hasbro\u2019s toy catalog is a mystery. Unfortunately, while Chapter 5 Season 4 mixes Marvel and nostalgia, it\u2019s not hitting all the right notes. Earlier this season, Fortnite fans griped about the lack of new Marvel-themed skins available. They also slammed one specific medallion as \u201cuseless.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
