Fortnite: Battle Royale He continues to add incredible collaborations and has just added one of his best. You can now play with the mythical characters from Avatar: The Last Airbender and each one represents one of the elements: Aang (Air), Katara (Water) Zuko (Fire) and Toph (Land). Due to its excellent art style, this collaboration was very well received by fans, who were surprised when they noticed this incredible detail on Toph Beifong’s model.
Toph from Avatar: TLA was perfectly represented in Fortnite
As you probably remember, in Avatar: TLA, Toph She is a talented master of earthbending. She is blind from birth, so she uses vibrations in the ground to fight very efficiently. In Fortnite, her blindness was represented in her character model in a very clever way. If we take into account the comparison in this image, we can notice that the playable characters in this game do not take their eyes off the player when using a gesture or animation. This makes your expressions look more natural. However, Toph’s case is completely different and much more appropriate.
When Toph does an emote or animation in Fortnite, his eyes do not focus on the player due to his blindness. This may seem like a crass or unnecessary detail, but the fact that Toph is blind and still a powerful character is one of the reasons why she became one of the fan-favorite characters in Avatar: The Last Airbender. . Not to mention, she is an excellent example of good healthy representation of people with blindness. If the Fortnite developers had not taken this factor into account, they would have been criticized by fans of the series and the character.
On the other hand, this should not surprise us at all. After all, Fortnite is a huge, super-successful video game that has already had hundreds of incredible collaborations with different intellectual properties from film, television, and other video games. Star Wars, Marvel, god of war, Halo, Jujutsu Kaisen, dragon ball and many more had been perfectly represented with skins and items that were clearly designed by people who know a lot about them and that included hundreds of amazing details like this. This time it was Avatar: The Last Airbender and we can say that the people of Epic Games did a good job again.
Of course, on the other hand, many people made memes and made fun of the fact that Toph can use firearms despite being blind, which is quite strange. However, we must remember that these are only skins and it would be absurd to make factors like this affect the gameplay of a video game like Fortnite. It’s much more logical and inventive to represent Toph’s blindness through aesthetic details like his gaze, and it turned out extremely well. The event “Items” of Avatar: TLA in Fortnite started on April 9th and will end May 3. So don’t miss all these excellent skins and items from this great animated series.
