The article discusses the author's experience playing Fortnite, specifically after purchasing a John Wick character skin. While the collaboration makes sense due to the game's violent nature, the author points out the humor in the clash between John Wick's serious persona and the whimsical Fortnite environment, featuring characters like muscular cats and bananas. This contradiction raises questions about the suitability of brands like John Wick in a universe known for its cartoonish and meme-rich aesthetics, suggesting a complicated relationship between serious franchises and playful gaming worlds.
"I realized John Wick is out of place, too. Never mind the guns and one-versus-all gameplay, looking through sniper scopes and seeing your target is a muscular cat or a dude in a banana costume is a jarring experience."
"An experience that feels right for John Wick doesn't mean that it is right for John Wick. Few places can welcome Mr. John Wick so easily, and that includes his own spin-offs."
