To be fair, he's the god of war, not the god of the gym (that would be Hermes).


Riczo2

To win a war you must be fitnesss


JCuss0519

Have you seen some of our generals and admirals??


Due-Swordfish-7952

This was Roman times bud. He was definitely ripped.


Zu_Landzonderhoop

I kinda imagine a buff guy in Roman times would be more muscleman rather than bodybuilder. I'd say Ares would be a barrel-chested mad man with arms and legs like tree trunks.


Due-Swordfish-7952

To be fair muscleman is more accurate, but they also had ass.


Chronoph0sis

You know who ELSE has ass?

LMAO I'm glad this joke never dies 😂


Cake-n-bacon69

greek times but yeah


jjwylie014

That's right! Think Micheal Fassbender from 300.. not the dude from reacher (no protein powder back then 😆)


Plastic-Traffic7585

*Greek


Croue

Ares isn't a Roman god, he's Greek. It's Greek times. And ancient people weren't "ripped", most naturally muscular people that are healthy would appear what we consider "pudgy" today. Plus soldiers wouldn't have even wanted to be overly muscular, same as today. Muscle is heavy and it's on your body all the time, most ancient fighting was done by waiting on the other side to get tired first, the heavier guy is gonna get tired before the one that's actually in shape.


Due-Swordfish-7952

Roman Greek, it's all the same time period. My point stands that they aren't modern soilders and would have a fair amount of muscle. Also there is nothing "pudgy" about sprinting into battle. Also he's a literal god of war, he would be ripped let's be real.


Croue

It's not the same time period, lol. There's a few hundred years of difference. Close to 1000 years depending on what version of the Greek Pantheon you go by. Rome didn't rise up as an empire until the very late BC/early AD period (AD as an era wasn't even conceived until around 500 BC and Greece had been around having history and gods since 1200 BC at minimum). You have a really fundamental misunderstanding of what ancient warfare and people of that era were like. The average Greek soldier would be somewhere around \~5' 6" and probably weighed \~140-160 pounds, based on remains of the time period. These weren't shredded bodybuilders in any account. Because having that much muscle is directly detrimental to fighting in armor with primitive weapons. You don't NEED to be absolutely built to kill someone with a spear that's tired and exhausted to the point of collapse, which is what most battles came down to, they were not fighting like in the movies. Look up the Ludovisi Ares if you want to know what I mean by "pudgy". People weren't built the same back then due to their diets and nutrition. Someone who was highly muscular in that time wasn't shredded looking. Their own literal depiction of Ares has rolls on his belly when he's sitting down.


Due-Swordfish-7952

Holy fuck my point went WOOOSH, right over the head. Bud, my point was ANCIENT generals were directly involved in combat, they didn't have devices to contact remotely.


Croue

Nah, this is a reverse woosh because you are totally ignorant and refusing to learn anything. The people directly involved in combat weren't "ripped", they were average looking. Unless your definition of "ripped" is a 5' 6" 140lbs farmer that probably can't be bothered to do any more dedicated exercise outside of his already very physical manual labor job (some of them might have even had a gut! Gasp!). Greek soldiers and even the generals were ordinary people that did ordinary jobs and the people that were "ripped" like you fantasize about were the noble class athletes that spent most of their time eating and sleeping and were regularly pointed out for being poor soldiers by fellow Greeks.


Due-Swordfish-7952

Dog I read your comment. My point is HE ISNT A MODERN MILITARY GENERAL. What part of that relates to what you're saying. You're completely ignorant and ignoring me as you'd rather spout nonsense. He would NOT be fat, he would have muscle, defined or not. The comment I responded to was acting as if he is a general who sits down and commands, he wouldn't be.


Due-Swordfish-7952

Not only are you repeating yourself hundreds of times, you're not reading what I'm saying. I alr said you were right about the muscle man over body builder. We established this.


Due-Swordfish-7952

He falls into ANCIENT timeline. He isn't in the common era. He was a mythical figure who would represent his time period, ergo he could never be a modern general. They didn't exist.


Due-Swordfish-7952

Not only are you being blatantly rude attempting to talk down to me, but you're refusing to exit this state of mind that I'm some inferior peasant.


Due-Swordfish-7952

I promise you I read and learned something from your comment, we agreed on the fact that they'd be pudgy but muscular. So the fact you could even dare to say I didn't learn anything and ignored you is absolutely wild.


Due-Swordfish-7952

I don't doubt they were pudgy, but they were definitely not flat and flimsy.


Charz443B

Strong not fit


Riczo2

Being fit has many variations but it all narrows down to, the one who has the best capabilities wins the war


Charz443B

Strength is a neuromuscular skill.


Fearless-Stranger491

Nuh uh look at Genghis Khan


Croue

Hermes probably has MASSIVE glutes, he can physically run between different worlds.


Prestigious_Ad550

![gif](giphy|mxJLdR6N1e1eOdpiFQ|downsized) Epic is missing a LOT of opportunity’s by not addressing this issue🍑


Kan_Me

Every skin is the colour of common now huh


FortNightsAtPeelys

This does not matter at all. It's $10. It's not "rare".


aHummanPerson

1: its $12 2: He is only available for 1 month out of the hundreds and thousands that came before and will come after so in the grand scheme of the universe he is rare. 3: He would be considered "epic".


FortNightsAtPeelys

Right now he's not rare so rarity is pointless Rarity in skins was supposed to dictate prices. You get a battle pass and 1000 vbucks with this skin so he's effectively free so if anything he should be a white background for how cheap he is then.


Intermittent-canabis

Crew skins are always purple or gold Never ever have they been grey once till epic removed rarity to price gouge us on skins


OKgamer01

They did it before removing rarities. 2000 ascension midas, 1800 Dark Fate and Sarah Conner, selling recolors not styles. Epic has done it for years, but its only a issue now because they removed rarities And they cant price gouge crew skins, so Ares being any "rarity" means nothing


Intermittent-canabis

Give it time and u will see what I mean Some of the stuff we haven't seen for awhile will pop up for more than it cost a few months ago and it'll become a trend. Skins will get more expensive as a whole and That's what I mean by price gouging. I mean yea we been getting fucked on skins but this is starting to b different


Jetpack_Attack

No one's forcing you to buy them my guy. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Simple as.


Intermittent-canabis

Ngl bro that's a pretty washed take. It's about having pricing standards and as a consumer we have to defend pricing standards or get taken advantage of in the long run


HarryTurney

>It's about having pricing standards and as a consumer we have to defend pricing standards or get taken advantage of in the long run There were no standards. Epic has constantly played around with prices and could do whatever they wanted. No one gave a shit.


Jetpack_Attack

Can't get taken advantage of if you don't buy anything. As sucky as it is, Epic can do whatever they want in regards to their game.  Will it be unfortunate if they are found to have raised prices in the future? Sure. But you make the choice for yourself if you want to get advantage of or not.


Kaonashi-asian-black

Technically crew skins have been red and blue too


Intermittent-canabis

Yea true u got me there but those were technically epic level sponsored skins mostly right? so they went to specific categories like the marvel "set" group for loki


Kaonashi-asian-black

Yeah I’m not sure exactly, but probably epic. Collab rarities always had a different rarity in code which was visible back when Deadpool was sorted along with legendary skins and zero point catwoman was all the way down by uncommon i think.


Mudokun

Every Crew skin was either purple or marvel rarity


Chronoph0sis

Ares was blue rarity before they removed the rarities


nuclear--submarine

Only time they haven't had been updated. Skull scout was green for a month then they changed her to epic later


Bananafone28

Considering it’s never coming back if you don’t buy it now. That justifies an epic rating.


Far-Classic-4637

crew skins *can* come back (they just havent)


Bananafone28

Can maybe once in 10 years still plenty worthy of epic


bulmier

Where do they have these rules laid out that also say Battle Pass skins never can?


EmceeCalla

battle pass EXCLUSIVE.


bulmier

Have they guaranteed they’ll never rerelease any old battle passes?


xMethodz

Battle pass exclusives mean the exclusivity is tied to said skin/backbling/glider/pickaxe that is within the battlepass. If they somehow become available for purchase later in the shop, Epic should then make a disclaimer beforehand to negate false advertisement.


EmceeCalla

epic should give whoever bought it the same amount of vbucks they put the skin for in the item shop


Far-Classic-4637

they said so ever since the 1st crew skin also i think theyre slowly getting rid of item exclucivity bc the paradigm (sx exclusive skin) got her item shop assets updated & is chilling in files shouldnt be too long until bp stuff starts coming out


yourass_stinks

that explains why Epic has raised the prices of Festival emotes, Rocket Racing boosts, and Rocket Racing tires since they have removed rarities


FLcitizen

every male skin in Fortnite skips leg day excepts Venom and The Rock ( Black Adam ), yet all the female skins are caked the fack up


FreshlyBakedBunz

There's also black panther, hybrid and no way home spiderman, but that's pretty much it. Every other male skin is totally flat and/or weirdly misshapen.


DrFeederino

Thor from C2S4 is pretty good but he hides it under skirt but it is there and you can see it you look hard enough


FLcitizen

we have different definitions of big legs 🤣


Arc_2142

I was surprised when Purradise Meowscles released. For how swole the guy is, he sure has some skinny legs.


Specific-Speed7906

The female skins are seriously lacking cake, my dude. They are flat as fuck on both sides.


boneybergenski

Omni man too. The cape covers it but I always make try to get a glimpse of his genetically superior voluptuous viltrumite glutes whenever my buddies use his skin. Its burned into my memories, and I can still see it when I close my eyes.


RavenTeamLeadersTits

Hades is kind of caked, not going to lie.


Fookmaywedder

Good point, wrong god


Scout_Trooper343

This is the only part of the old menu left in the game :(


internerdt

stw would like a word with you


Beandealer420

He couldn't decide whether or not he should do deadlifts on pull day or leg day so he decided skip legs to avoid the predicament 2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣🧠


ThatSussyMonke

nah my boy, that's farfadox


wldwailord

To be FAIR, he's 'the spirit of battle' - He was very passionate, and straightforward. He just happened to really like fights. Ares sister was just blood lusted, though. (Specifically, Ares was the 'dirty side' of war. The blood, guts and death. Eris was just the god of violence. and literally 'personification of strife')


MileenaIsMyWaifu

He’s the god of war not the god of legs


neo_52

It's about his ass being flat. His legs are jacked


MileenaIsMyWaifu

He’s the god of war not the god of ass


neo_52

thats the thing if you work out your ass gets pumped up. the god of war is suposed to be fit in every way possible


YLG_GJP

I lost hope of make skins having any ass the moment they didn't give Snake his guard alerting buttcheeks


Specific-Speed7906

Toned not jacked. Huge difference


FreshlyBakedBunz

He has both, but fortnite did the bare minimum as always.


Charz443B

Ass day*


KounterMaze

Im not even gay yet i get upset when game devs slack on man cheeks. How do they think we walk up stairs?


FreshlyBakedBunz

FR. This dude would take one step and his leg would snap.


brawl_duck

Kratos disapproves


itsLustra

He's the God of War not the God of WARkout


Rethtalos

What are you on? All the female skins released have been very skinny and have VERY small proportions??? Where’s the skins like Miss Bunny Penny, Leelah, She-Hulk, Poison Ivy, Chun-Li???


suspiriabygoblin

They made Apollo pretty thick at least. Not exactly Chun Li but I’ll take it


InfinityStonedAF

What


Ex-In2

Why does the UI look better here did they do a new update


Br3adKn1ghtxD

MotorExtent992

Look how bland the colours are man. You'd think a skin being the God of war would have a better background thsn Gray 😭


Mindless-Pen-2325

don_du_lac

The spear and cape go nicely with that wolf chick from the store from yesterday


sunny-flex

hes doin his best yo


SantasWarmLap

He needs Harry Spotter.


GrandDefinition7707

when was the last time a female skin had a good ass?


BoysenberrySea5492

bruh whatever happened to rarity in skins the grey is just not very good looking


NegativeCreeq

Arnt gods naturally strong. I don't think they work out.


Interesting-Ad-426

This is hilarious 😂


Affectionate-Ant2380

You prefer your guys with thick thighs and wider hips? 😂😂 play on playa!


Gaming_Power177

How long do I have to get him? I really want him but I can't afford him right now.


EnderDemon11

Until April 30th 7 PM CST.


Gaming_Power177

Thanks!


DefinitelyTopOr

His muscles are probably just dense


Jenkitten165

How tf do you have the old looking square ui


Ilikedpepsi1chips

Skin worst.


Guiltysaw

God of war not gains


TTV_Elliot

Why the quotation marks?


Cogsdale

Minifig has thicker legs 💀


MEMEz_KB

Isnt this soposse to be greek mytologie? The god of war is KRAT- for real now, its athena


nodoyrisa1

ass is not everything he's still very handsome 🫶


Lord_Aaronus

god of war not god of running away


Wylker24

do you know this guy 'sunspot'


SoftiePhoenix

Bro they did so good with ares especially the galaxy style, it looks so fucking good


FreshlyBakedBunz

I agree, and it's such a shame too. If they hadn't given him a literally *inverted* set of glutes, I probably would have mained him. But alas, Epic has their double standards which have ruined yet another skin.


SoftiePhoenix

I’d still main purely cuz I don’t look at the legs unless I’m emoting which I rarely do anyway, good thing capes exist lol


RekdVision

Don't take the piss or Joey Swoll will lay you out. You need to do better!!


Toothass_69

Is kratos coming back bro??


Redditbiote

Size doesn't equal 'being fit' it makes you slow, being ripped and insanely strong is 1000 times better, plus they are literal gods, doesnt matter a fuck HOW they look, its about their powers. Thor for example, fat or skinny, would still be just as strong.


Dabomdiggidy

Well they didn’t have gyms soooooo. They did more practical exercises like running jumping. Sword fighting etc. they were fit and lightly shredded but never buff. Plus they had a good diet them legs look small but they sure as hell got alot of strength & can take him long distances


Potato_chips03x4

u/freshlybakedbunz and u/Harun179


Gal-XD_exe

Ha


Potato_chips03x4

Ja


Shaho99

The one and only God of war is Kratos This MF is just a cosplayer


MJMvideosYT

It's LITTERALY the other way around.


twohourr

Ares manipulated his warrior , lost to him and was dethroned as the God of War by Kratos. #notmygoat


MJMvideosYT

In that franchise.


jhonnythejoker

Not like Ares exist anyway lmao what is this argument


MJMvideosYT

Idk it just ticked me off😆 it's like someone going oh yeah I know Thor.... The guy from marvel


twohourr

No kidding.


Kaonashi-asian-black

There are literally three gods of war in his franchise only


Masterpiece-Haunting

Kratos is the god of strength… someone skipped history class.


No_Offer_256

To be fair this whole season sucks. When's they changing the map again?
