Avengers: Endgame - 10 Huge Controversies Nobody Saw Coming

10. Fortnite

The controversy here is just brain-numbingly stupid, which is why it takes its place at the bottom of the list.

In the scene where we first meet Thor (more on that later), Korg is playing Fortnite against Noobmaster69. That’s the entirety of the controversy. He was playing Fortnite.

You could understand people being upset if this was some immersion breaking product placement, but the game is only on screen a second or two; even then, it’s in the background. Unless you’re already familiar with Fortnite itself, you’d have no idea what it even was.

In real life, Fortnite has a tie in event with Avengers: Endgame, featuring skins from the movie. The appearance was a little Easter egg reference to this, and nothing more. Still though, plenty of people were upset.

It boils down to the fact that Fortnite is popular, and conversely that makes it very unpopular amongst the contrarians.

The game can be quite obnoxious; a young player base, heavy Twitch presence, microtransactions and annoying dance moves don’t endear it to anyone.

However, if you build your identity around disliking a game so much that seeing it in a movie is a sore spot for you, you need to get out more.
