New Fortnite Skin "Jonesy" Gets Fashion Advice from Sad Thor

Our favorite silly blonde guy, Jonzy, who has appeared in most of the Fortnite trailers, has a new skin. Apparently, the new skin is inspired by Thor's overweight, melancholy look from "The Avengers": if you're a fan of the Coen Brothers, it was inspired by "The Big Lebowski."

Take a look at that beautiful mug.

Jonesy started this season in better shape, in a black wetsuit. He looked as if he was ready to tear up the "Call of Duty" map, and this Jonesy is right up my speed. He has a large juice pack in his tactical vest and a side order of fries in his ridiculously comfortable looking robe. I hope he doesn't miss the target and accidentally take a bite out of one of the shotgun shells still strapped to his left arm. If you look closely, you can even see a little peelie face on the sandal.

"Relaxed Fit Jonesy" clearly echoes Thor's unfortunate look in "Avengers: Endgame". In this film, Thor struggles to accept that his failure to stop Thanos has resulted in the extinction of half the population of the universe. Thor becomes violently depressed, drinks, eats himself into oblivion.

While this is not an official crossover, Epic and Marvel have teamed up many times in the past. Fortnite players recently got a Captain America skin, Deadpool was featured heavily in Season 2, and of course, there was a massive Avengers tie-in when "Endgame" was released in early 2019. remember 2019 Will it?

In "The Big Lebowski," "The Dude," played by Jeff Bridges, walks around 1990s Los Angeles in a very similar robe, except when he is solving crimes in a bowling alley. I actually haven't seen "The Big Lebowski," but I'm guessing Jeff Bridges does.

The new Jonesy skin costs 1,200 V-bucks, or roughly $10-$12. Like most skins in the item store, they will probably only be around for a little while, but thankfully Epic has been keeping the skin rotation a little longer than usual lately.

The relaxed-fit Jonesy also comes with a new back bling in the shape of the Durr Burger mascot.

Data miners like Lucas7Yoshi have discovered that yet another Jonesy skin will also be coming to Fortnite soon as part of the 13.40 update. The skin, dubbed "Jonesy the Castaway," is taken directly from a short comedy film that Epic posted a few months before we learned of the flooding in Season 3.

We'll just have to wait for Jonesy to lose weight and get a tan. In the meantime, don't forget to check out the rest of the Fortnite guide and patch notes; Epic just added cars, so everything you need to know about drivable vehicles is here.
