Fortnite’s Dune Gives Us the Real Mind Killer: Smooth Timothée Chalamet

The solar has risen and set, the earth has turned, which implies that it’s time for an additional huge collaboration for one of many greatest pop cultural behemoths on the planet—Star Wars, and Marvel canon continuity destroyer and a surprisingly good car for Batman—Fortnite. This time it’s Dune, and whereas that’s not bizarre anymore, a cheekbone-less Timothée Chalamet actually is.

Director Denis Villeneuve isn’t providing audiences an opportunity to observe a clip or a few of his previous motion pictures throughout the battle royale recreation like his fellow administrators Chris Nolan and J.J. Abrams—I feel his head might explode—as an alternative Epic Games has recruited Chalamet and Zendaya, or at the least their likenesses, to advertise new skins for Paul and Chani out there within the recreation. Gamers will have the ability to purchase themselves the alternate skins, in addition to equipment recreating Paul’s knives and Chani’s Fremen Maker Hooks, backpacks impressed by the Fremkits within the film, a glider primarily based on the Ornithopter, and, hilariously, an emote that makes your character stroll like they’re attempting to keep away from disturbing a sandworm:

Anyway, it’s not that Dune is coming to Fortnite that’s the disturbing factor right here. Fortnite is completely enjoyable for the zillions of people that play it, and that viewers base implies that a film tie-in is form of like a line of Funko pops or bizarre adverts the place individuals taking part in immortal godlike beings shill automobiles: it’s to be anticipated. What’s to not be anticipated is how Fortnite’s cartoony artwork model—its blessing that manages to cohesively put Rey Skywalker, Deadpool, Lara Croft, Ripley from Aliens, and a banana in a tuxedo all in the identical recreation so Superman can shoot them with a gun—has given us maybe probably the most cursed visible to come back from Dune but: Smooth Chalamet.

Reader, it disturbs me. Everything we’ve seen of Paul’s gaunt demeanor within the new Dune is gone right here, and Chalamet’s distinctive face has been filed down into that Fortnite model. An awesome factor was misplaced within the journey from Arrakis to Fortnite’s violent island, and for that, we should mourn. Or on the very least make Smooth Chalamet do the Floss.

The Dune cosmetics for Fortnite can be found in-game beginning right this moment.
