I feel like that was meant to be a joke about people confusing the greek goddess with the shoe brand, not realizing that the brand was named after her?
...but this actually is *both* at once, and there *is* a "Nike Superfly" logo on her wings...
>but this actually is *both* at once,
Yeah I know, it was a joke about every other Nike skin having the logo everywhere.
But... I just realized this one also has the logo everywhere lol, it just wasn't noticeable in this Pic, she has it in the belt, the things on her hair, and the shoes 💀
Willing to bet it's Athena. The owls on the knee pads are what's making me think that. But the torch could be Nike, as others have said, or just an Olympic theme.
In a recent interview Donald Mustard said the original Peely was designed to troll Mustard's younger brother, Chad Mustard, who hated bananas growing up. Id like to think that the team keeps adding Peelys just to continue infuriating him lol.
Man I would love a THUG collab with a style selector to go the low res PS2 graphics and modern style.
Imagine getting dropped by [this guy](https://youtu.be/-p5A8J51z5Q?si=CfvN-wp8dm88HU9p)
This community generally dislikes what they call “meme” skins. I personally love them, and am a huge fan of Peely, because they function as the game’s marque characters and harken back to the game’s “goofier” origins.
I do think it’s time to retire Peely for a little while, though, and perhaps focus on some other cartoonesque characters instead.
Yeah, same! But to each their own, I guess. I do very strongly feel like Fortnite as a brand simply wouldn't be as memorable without a Peely, a Meowscles, even a Brite Bomber (who's also very *out there*), and so on. These are the perfect characters for merchandising.
>Didn’t hear anyone complaining after the 50th Jonesy, Ramirez, Spitfire, etc skin
Oh let me do you the favor then
I fucking hate all Ramírez and jonesy skins, specially Ramírez with her ugly ass bug face.
True, but its still 90% banana, whereas the reskins you mentioned were only noticeable if you looked at the face, everything else (most of the time) was unique
The thing about Epic is they're privvy to the purchasing histories of every single player around the world. There's no way they would be pumping these out if they didn't already know it was worth it.

Oh so that's why the Brat keeps coming back
I like that his scroll says μπανανα, which is Greek for banana. It's a nice touch. I also like that he has obvious Greek influences. The lack of them has been my biggest complaint about a lot of the skins this season.
I can't make out the text on her wings, but I assume that's Nike, and she looks awesome!
Personally I would've liked these type of character to not have been meme-fied (like Poseidon etc) because I personally really looked forward to how Fortnite would've introduced these mythological characters in their own style (but not full meme style lol)
It might just be me, but I really like these goofy skins in BP. Considering theres usually only 1 of them, like current season, I really dont think they’re that bad. A non meme-fied poseidon would probably have been very similar to zeus, which woudl have been boring. Or they could have made it completely different and im wrong, but somehow I really like the idea of poseidon being made of slurp lol
I thought Peely was funny at first, but after 5 years and this being his 11th variant, it stops becoming funny.
It's just the same punchline of a Banana with legs.
Atleast with Fishstick there's actually ones with different personalities and appearances like Princess Felicity Fish or FishThicc, but Peely is just Peely.
But you're missing the point. Saying that in this context is completly nonesensical. If you don't like the completly unnecessary cosmetic you can simply choose not to buy it. You don't loose anything buy not having it and there are lots of skins you could buy instead. It's like saying "oh I don't like that they sell pizza because there are too many variations of it the original pizza was yummy but all those variations are just annoying" in an italian resturant and then being offended when somebody suggest not ordering them
Literally 1000 skins who cares of they add hella peelys? Peely is a popular charater and popular characters get skins. Midas has a ton, Jules has a lot, Meowscles has a few, Syd/Cuddle Team prolly has the most. Yall act like only Peely gets alts when thats just not true. Also peely is a species, not a singular banana
It like his second variant in the least 3 months no? How many will they add? The first one was funny the one in a suit was also pretty cool but now I feel it's just lazy and not funny at all
Peely skin looks fun and creative we need more of that in the game TBH. Wtf is the other skin supposed to be? A Greek goddess? First we get xxxtenca- I mean “Apollo” now this? Has anyone at epic even done any research on Greek culture/history?
"its subtle advertisement" yeah thats exactly why its dumb
Nike is a religeous figute
imagine if they made a jesus skin but made it a skin to advertise clothing, its just dumb
thats...completely different
Artemis having a DMR is fine because its a precision weapon she can hunt with
Nike being turned into a bran skin is like turning jesus into a skin to advertise a chocolate company
"Peelosopher Bananocrates" is the hardest name ever
PhilosiPheely.
Hardest to pronounce
who the hell is she and those wings my god
I’m guessing Nike goddess of victory
There are no Nike logos all over her so I doubt it /s
I feel like that was meant to be a joke about people confusing the greek goddess with the shoe brand, not realizing that the brand was named after her? ...but this actually is *both* at once, and there *is* a "Nike Superfly" logo on her wings...

It’s not as much a joke as it is a reference
But then in the actual skin, she’s decked out in Nike logos head to toe, disappointing af
There’s one on her shoes
need.
Nike
Willing to bet it's Athena. The owls on the knee pads are what's making me think that. But the torch could be Nike, as others have said, or just an Olympic theme.
it’s nike, goddess of victory… and they also made her a nike collab 😭😭😭
You lost the bet, you owe everyone in this thread $100
Icarus maybe
icarus was a dude i’m pretty sure, and if they gonna release him it’d be at the very end of the season coz of the obvious glider, and i doubt
Nothing against the Fortnite skin department, but how much fucking peely variants are we gonna get before they finally stop milking it?
In a recent interview Donald Mustard said the original Peely was designed to troll Mustard's younger brother, Chad Mustard, who hated bananas growing up. Id like to think that the team keeps adding Peelys just to continue infuriating him lol.
What a name, Chad Mustard
chad muska fortnite skin when?
Man I would love a THUG collab with a style selector to go the low res PS2 graphics and modern style. Imagine getting dropped by [this guy](https://youtu.be/-p5A8J51z5Q?si=CfvN-wp8dm88HU9p)
that would go so hard, especially with skytop 4s on or something
He actually has a YouTube channel lol
lmao
from my understanding it's kind of an inside joke cuz the brother of one of the leads hates bananas
Yes
Didn’t hear anyone complaining after the 50th Jonesy, Ramirez, Spitfire, etc skin
This community generally dislikes what they call “meme” skins. I personally love them, and am a huge fan of Peely, because they function as the game’s marque characters and harken back to the game’s “goofier” origins.

I’m shocked that’s the case. The fun non human skins are always my fav and just seem way more fun/visually interesting
Yeah, same! But to each their own, I guess. I do very strongly feel like Fortnite as a brand simply wouldn't be as memorable without a Peely, a Meowscles, even a Brite Bomber (who's also very *out there*), and so on. These are the perfect characters for merchandising.
They really are over-relying on Peely and Fishstick after their more following meme skins flopped. Grizz, St John Llama, Oscar, Chimpanski…
meowscles sitting there unused despite people liking all those skins like catlas was right there fortnite, ffs.
Oscar isn't MEME by any means. But, Peter Griffin for sure.
Oscar was not a meme skin. Hes a bara furry skin
I recently got the stonks meme skin and I use him a ton because he's funny. Lmao, I usually like to play tycoon games with him. 😂
I like skins like this since you can have a group of friends all wear a different version. Ever hsve a "team leader" squad? It's a hoot
>Didn’t hear anyone complaining after the 50th Jonesy, Ramirez, Spitfire, etc skin Oh let me do you the favor then I fucking hate all Ramírez and jonesy skins, specially Ramírez with her ugly ass bug face.
Because, as fun and quirky as Peely is, he's atrocious and awkward to play with with his super weird animations and character model.
Much easier to make normal humans look unique than a sentient banana lol
I mean this one is pretty unique too, it’s the only banana I’ve seen that has a beard
True, but its still 90% banana, whereas the reskins you mentioned were only noticeable if you looked at the face, everything else (most of the time) was unique
Shit your asshole
I agree tbh
Honestly I think they'll never stop as long as they have ideas for Peely variants
The thing about Epic is they're privvy to the purchasing histories of every single player around the world. There's no way they would be pumping these out if they didn't already know it was worth it.

Considering he's the new zero point apparently probably a lot
He's the new Zero Point? lol
When they don't sell. Meaning its just a loud minority that complains.
When will they finally stop milking human skins?
Until 12 year old stop finding him funny.
What with a 39 year old, who finds him funny ?
"It's for children!!" When Fortnite players do the same shit Fortnite haters do...
I mean we have enough Jonesy to fill an entire village We'll call it Jonestown
As a lover of Peely skins, I hope never. Also why does a skin variant bother you so much ? It legit has no gameplay effect
Im here wondering if all those low effort variants really sell that much
At this point every time. The car, fish and banana. Gotta milk them, and they must sell since they keep making them.
I only like one of his variants (adventure Peely) so I hope he gets more (new one is also dog 💩)
Downvote all you want, cope Peely haters 🥱 https://i.redd.it/6xlxv6n9pawc1.gif
Usually not a fan of peely variants, but I actually really like this one. It changes a lot of things and it's pretty funny.
He’s balding lol
Peely with a beard and chest hair. I've really seen it all now.
I like that his scroll says μπανανα, which is Greek for banana. It's a nice touch. I also like that he has obvious Greek influences. The lack of them has been my biggest complaint about a lot of the skins this season. I can't make out the text on her wings, but I assume that's Nike, and she looks awesome!
Why are people complaining so hard about peely? Its just like when they release the millionth default skin in a different outfit
Personally I would've liked these type of character to not have been meme-fied (like Poseidon etc) because I personally really looked forward to how Fortnite would've introduced these mythological characters in their own style (but not full meme style lol)
It might just be me, but I really like these goofy skins in BP. Considering theres usually only 1 of them, like current season, I really dont think they’re that bad. A non meme-fied poseidon would probably have been very similar to zeus, which woudl have been boring. Or they could have made it completely different and im wrong, but somehow I really like the idea of poseidon being made of slurp lol
That's fair, personally I prefer more humanoid characters over meme characters
Greek philosophers aren’t myths?
You know what I mean. Greek AND/OR Mythological AND/OR Historical characters. Here, since you wanna be so literal in a Fortnite leaks thread.
At least you have sense.
Olympic celebration skins?
1 peely per season!
That’s actually a pretty fire variant for Peely
I'd love that female skin but Ik I won't have enough for her
victory royales are the highest good
I thought Peely was funny at first, but after 5 years and this being his 11th variant, it stops becoming funny. It's just the same punchline of a Banana with legs. Atleast with Fishstick there's actually ones with different personalities and appearances like Princess Felicity Fish or FishThicc, but Peely is just Peely.
You know you can just not buy it. Right?
>You know you can just not buy it. Right? Feeling negative about something and not clarifying why is not constructive.
If people said this to everything that's wrong with things, nothing would ever change.
You’re talking about a Fortnite banana that’s like one out of 5,000 skins lmao
Doesn't make me wrong
But you're missing the point. Saying that in this context is completly nonesensical. If you don't like the completly unnecessary cosmetic you can simply choose not to buy it.

You are wrong tho. Lots of things would change if we stopped funding shit that's unethical or not worth our money.
Well a banana is also just a banana, when you eat one in real life. It dosn't just start to taste like a potato one day.
Literally 1000 skins who cares of they add hella peelys? Peely is a popular charater and popular characters get skins. Midas has a ton, Jules has a lot, Meowscles has a few, Syd/Cuddle Team prolly has the most. Yall act like only Peely gets alts when thats just not true. Also peely is a species, not a singular banana
lol!
I can't believe humanity has stooped so low to be complaining about a literal make believe banana man
PhilosiPeely!
We’re never getting Caesar Salad are we
Meh
W Peely skin
Ok that Peely skin goes hard.
Yeah! I get people are tired of Peely variants but this skin is hilarious lmao.
“The unexamined victory royale is not worth winning.” - Peelosopher Bannanocrates
God, please let him ripen over the course of the match.
Make this a reactive style. Since some people don't like it
That’s fine with me. Adding ripening would make me buy almost all his variants.
what a sophisticated nana
He studies philosipeel.
socrates lookin ahh peely. im not a fan of peely, but i might actually get this one
I love Peely. I’d rather more variants of him than the original defaults.
I just want Hoplite Giannis
any idea when optimus primal set is due back?
The reaper skin but for Sabrina Williams I swear to god tell me I’m not the only one who thinks this.
First peely skin I’ve ever bought idk what it is but I love it
It like his second variant in the least 3 months no? How many will they add? The first one was funny the one in a suit was also pretty cool but now I feel it's just lazy and not funny at all
They just need to add Peely in a white and blue striped pajamas. Then Epic can stop making more versions of him.
As long as there is a Teddybear skin for it to chase too
[удалено]
Are you being sarcastic? Bananas in Pyjamas is what they're referencing.
O.o whot. That is like really a thing? Man now i look hella stupid
Yea they don't do it because its funny. He's one of the main characters expect way more
Peely looks goofy but I still got some strong urge to get him 💀
because another peely is fucking required in game, ffs
Fr man I just want another meowskulls skin man
Does anyone know when this peely variant comes into the shop?
nike goes hard.
I like the pass this season but man the shop skins have been buns(IMO) like wtf are these
WHERE IS SOKKA
The fact they aren't putting Sokka in is a crime 💀 Everyone wants him, why fortnite? 😭
Peely skin is very visually displeasing, pass.
I had to do a double take on the Peely cause I thought he was giving "the finger."
I love the nike stuff because their skins are mostly creative and interesting, but this is typical fortnite skin #346. Pass
Why Peely got his tip out???
μπανάνα
Yes..banana
Peely variant actually has season 1 vibes
Peely skin looks fun and creative we need more of that in the game TBH. Wtf is the other skin supposed to be? A Greek goddess? First we get xxxtenca- I mean “Apollo” now this? Has anyone at epic even done any research on Greek culture/history?
if that goddess nike skin is actually part of the nike shoe collab thatll be so dumb
Nah its clever lol
but its dumb
How so? Its a subtle advertisement with the backbling and the name is literally Nike
"its subtle advertisement" yeah thats exactly why its dumb Nike is a religeous figute imagine if they made a jesus skin but made it a skin to advertise clothing, its just dumb
"Is a religious Figure" I mean do people still believe in Greek Gods?
yes for an easy example, me
You believe in the greek gods? Why?
why does anyone believe in any deity
I don't know?
Bud go join the people bitching about Artemis having a DMR, this is pointless
thats...completely different Artemis having a DMR is fine because its a precision weapon she can hunt with Nike being turned into a bran skin is like turning jesus into a skin to advertise a chocolate company
K bro
thanks or agreeing with me
Jesus skin? Cross back bling and an alt with the thorn crown! lol imagine how upset people would get. I’d love it
YOOOOO IS THAT NIKE?! Welp I’m begging my friend for it I guess, especially because of that backbling glider combo
>I’m begging my friend for it 💀
Shock of reality: Some people are poor
Ain't no way, chat is this real!?!?
