"Why does he look so weird?" - Fortnite community reacts to new Loki, God of Stories skin

Fortnite and Marvel have had a good relationship over the years, with Epic Games practically adding the entire MCU roster to the game, allowing players to embody their favorite characters associated with that brand while battling it. Joining the ranks of Marvel cosmetics is the newly released Loki, God of Stories. This item is based on the Norse God of Mischief's look from Marvel Studios' Loki Season 2.

While the introduction of this fresh look for Loki is definitely exciting, some players have highlighted how different the character model appears "weird." In a recent Reddit post shared by u/FunnyCobra002, the individual said:

"Why does he look so weird? I was so excited for this collab until I saw that face."

Reddit user u/Top_Shame167 said they think that the Loki Laufeyson skin, previously released as part of a Crew Pack, was the better embodied the God of Mischief in FN.

u/Skelibutt, on the other hand, provided a potential explanation for why the model appeared "weird." They pointed out that this might be because of Tom Hiddleston from Marvel Studios' Loki potentially not wanting the game to feature his likeness.

Meanwhile, Reddit user u/FERFreak731 highlighted how all the Marvel Studios and even Sony Marvel skins like Spider-Man (No Way Home) and Eddie Brock feature a generic likeness to their movie counterparts.

Drawing a parallel between the new skin and the Sylvie outfit, Reddit user u/Steelbug2k commented:

"Silvy is the same, both just look weird and off."
