hopefully we get a new midas skin in the next battlepass Edit: due to people not knowing what midas is based off of, he is based off a greek mythology king midas, everything he touched turned to gold, and he regretted the wish he made due to him turning his wife and daughter into gold (also he couldnt eat either)

This is EXACTLY the kind of information I have been WAITING for after weeks of delays. Everything sounds perfect. The theories are top notch. This man literally cooked up an entire meal.

Maybe the moth and phoenix could be related to the saying "like a moth to a flame". Maybe relating to Valeria being drawn to the dark power. If the phoenix represents rebirth and the moth death, then maybe Valeria lost someone she loved or cared about, or needs to bring someone back or else she will lose her money, status or something else. The moth(death) is drawn to the light(phoenix or rebirth)

Tbh apparent classism aside, the society doesnt really seems evil, but just a group of very rich and extremely attractive people (looking at you Monteague😂) I wonder if the fight between Valeria and Hope has less to do with ideology and more about what Valeria is planning to do (and the others support her either out of compromise, convinience, honor or just because they are genuinly her friends), or even if Hope is in the wrong

9:33 Peely’s spirits still high even though he’s literally tied up being held captive😭😭

This aged well

Theory: The “Icy Secrets” talked about in the Ageless description for backbling and pickaxe probably refers to The glacier located at Grand Glacier where something could be under it and will be the next thing for Geno to rise up back into control. I don’t know if this is going to happen but just speculating, anyway love your videos, keep up your content and have a amazing day.

I couldn’t help but giggle when he brought up the Ageless Explorer knowing his attitude of that skin on Twitter with each reset. But man we are waiting so long for that skin! Cmon!

Banger video

I speculated that midas and montuage are related. If you also look at the society logo it looks a lot like Midas hands. So midas could be controlling the society and is the secret mastermind behind it

19:24 I believe he’s after the ice king who has a lot of stuff powerful stuff from across the omniverse

A good theory. The video is very well done and shows how interesting the game's story still is and the potential it has

I think Nisha might be Indian instead of Italian as her name is derived from Hindi as it means night. She also has the edit style Midnight Duelist. However, I definitely think she has roots from both Indian and Italian cultures.

chapter 5 season 1 feels to me like a combination of chapter 2 season 1 and 2 with the society being similar to the agency and peely getting kidnaped similar to how in season 1 in chapter 2 Rippley was being pursued by chaos and his allies along with his sludge army to capture him.

Also in the Oathbound season if you talk to Snowheart as Ageless she said "Your kingdom will look so much better under mountains of ice." I think she might've been saying that to show her disapproval of the Oathbound but it does look like it is kinda becoming true it

No one does it like you man. I've followed this story for YEARS and was about to hang up the cape up until you came along and explained this new beginning to me. From the initial big bang explanation on Twitter you did and this video, you really helped me continue to care and understand the story and what's going on with my homie Jonesy. Thank you and I'll use your creator code!

I really hope that the story of fortnite returns back to normal with events and not changing every season😢

i always wondered why meowsculs never turned to gold when midas peted him on the head

7:40 the peter griffin part made me laugh and I almost spit my orange juice all over the screen.

I love a good sibling rivalry Thanks for this, there's nothing better than a storyline in these types of games.

It is actually not a surprise that Ruined Reels represents Greek mythology. There's been lots of rumors and leaks that Chapter 5 Season 2 will be themed around Greek mythology and the recent skin surveys seems to have a heavy influence with characters like Cerberus, Minotaur, Zeus, Medusa and Hades. If you look at the Chapter 5 map at the moment, you can actually distinctively tell that 5 parts of the map represents countries, but the interesting thing is that they're all European countries. - The *north side* of the map which includes Lavish Lair and my favorite boss - Oscar, that represents *Germany* . That part of the map is actually getting its snow melted at some point in the season. - The *east to south east side* of the map which includes Grand Glacier and Hazy Hillside, represents *Switzerland* . That part of the map is still going to be snowed. If you look at the structures in Hazy Hillside, you can see where the Swiss inspired designs are represented. - The *south side* of the map which includes Fencing Fields and its delicious Flowberries, represents *Italy* which fits since in real life - the country itself is well known for its wine and there's plenty of wine fields there. I always think that Nisha seems to make really good Flowberry juice there. - The *west side* of the map which includes Snooty Steppes, Pleasant Piazza and Ritzy Riveria, represents *France* . The orange roofs, the close together city structures, and the rolling hills screams France. - The *center side* of the map which includes my go to landing place Reckless Railways and the iconic Ruined Reels, represents none other than *Greece* . While it is a bit hard to tell, these two represents different Greek designs. If you look at the structures around the train station where it seems to look like homes and shops in Reckless Railways, it heavily uses Greece's modern influences in terms of their structures - a lot of balconies, a bit of blue and white, interesting awnings, some roofs with gaps. And if you look at Ruined Reels which has changed a lot frequently in previous Seasons, it is now all Ancient Greek designed. A lot of marble, some statues of gods and warriors, the arched seating area that was used for entertainment back at its time. Funny thing as well, the codenames for all of the maps in Fortnite all are named after greek deities and almost all had the letter "A" theme going on. Chapter 1 was called Athena, Chapter 2 was called Apollo, Chapter 3 - Artemis, Chapter 4 - Asteria, and Chapter 5 Season 1 is Helios. However, Chapter 5 Season 2's codename is "Aiga" which means "goat" in Greek. Just doing some research, yeah... how funny would it be if they brought back the Goat from Goat Simulator in Fornite yet again just because of the codename. It sucks that I missed out on getting it since it last appeared in the Shop all the way back in April 2023. Anyways, in terms of skins I can see returning - Midas is a fan favorite and is also relating to Greek mythology. From what I have seen in terms of story, The Society has stolen not only Midas's logo but also his cruiser. I can see Midas working with Jonesy to help with the war but with probably a different design. Interesting enough, the references we have seen from that little island are all references to Chapter 2 Season 2 in particular which is a little bit surprising since both Chapter 2 and Chapter 5 maps are the most similar to each other. It was also when we got introduced to not only Midas, but also Meowscles and Skye. The irony here is that Chapter 2 Season 2 focused on the war between GHOST and SHADOW, and in Chapter 5 Season 2... we seem to be setting up for war between The Underground and The Society, along with some Greek gods that will pump this battle up to 110%!

Midas is so underrated, I hope this new storyline guy knows we need him back

Well one thing I have to say is that In Valeria’s description it says play with fire ( which is very dangerous, because you could burn the house down ) and in her loading screen she has a box on of the TVs that could be some sort of Pandora’s box that will lead into our Greek season.

Great video, my comment was meant to improve, but I have been watching you since c3 s3. Also doesn’t Valeria remind anyone of Geno? Maybe she is the rebooted Geno or a snapshot of him?

“Command the ice” could possibly be a reference back to the ice king, because he commanded the ice “and its frozen secrets” could lead back to his cellar where the fire king and hybrid eggs were, and if geno could get them, then he could build a new empire. He would have to find a Time Machine though, which leads me to believe it is still on the map, just under the ice which geno could try to get to it and then rule the omniverse by either getting the hybrid eggs, or just regrouping the IO and maybe slone will have a part to play because in chapter four season three(wilds) she had dialogue with Gunnar about how she was done with the IO. But it’s just a theory

Valaria might be trying to bring back Midas or maybe Geno since Midas isn’t actually dead

Also, the Stygian Green style of Valeria may be a reference to Greek Fire, an insanely explosive weapon created in ancient Greece

I think that Midas is against the Society because he is Peely’s friend and employer. I also think he will team up with the underground because he is alike Jones and Slone because he quit the I.O too. But that’s just a Theory, a Game Theory

The Society seem like an honest faction though im not a fan of those armed guards and checkpoints or the whole island takeover thing kinda bad for business

Hey Rezztro , I loved your video , it was absolutely packed with storyline details , the editing was insane and it was really fun to watch , but there are some things that you said that would like to point out : 1 : I don’t personally believe that Hope actually did anything to her sister , but rather all the npc dialogues and descriptions all say that hope doesnt want to take down the society because she would have to take down her sister . 2: Secondly , I would like to talk about where you said hope and Valeria are from . It isn’t exactly specified but just by looking at the area where Valeria is located in the map and listening to her music pack you can easily figure out she’s Italian . Regarding hope , I feel like it’s pretty obvious . She looks Japanese and her music pack is Japanese ( and is also full of lore so you might want to take a look at that ) so that’s enough proof for me . That’s everything I really wanted to say . I agree with everything else and I loved the video .

This storyline has a lot f potential and I hope it will last longer than 1 season like all storylines since chapter 4.

the icy secrets could refer to the ice king, since he is meant to hold powerful items on an ice moon or something in one of the comics.

i hope midas can connect to the greek season (chapter 5 season 2)

There’s a really distinctive purple-hued chest/box that you can see in the chapter 5 universe at the end of the big bang event. Not sure if it’s anywhere on the map atm or if we’ve seen it before. Could this be pandora’s box or something else? It reminds me of the chest you can see in valeria’s second loading screen

lil update on the end: the ice is reffering to a monster underneath the grand glacier which u can hear now as the season slowly ends meaning when the live event happens it has a large chance to refer to that monster which would make sense with the greek mythology update so its a possibly the ageless/geno will return and awaken the monster, another possibility is that valeria gets too much power and opens the pandora box which thus melts the ice and awakens the monster. (the monster is speculated to be godzilla aswell due to the rough shape and a new godzilla movie coming out at a similar time kind of like the transformers event in the wilds)

I'm hyped for the story! Would love to get some story missions to participate in it!

Personally I think Oscar is probably British. His house reminds me of James Bond’s country home. Plus his name, Oscar, is of English origin. And technically he’s a tiger but lions represent England often, most notably the mascot(s) for the England national soccer/football team are three lions.

Watch Peter be the most importent charecter in the story

Incredible video, man! The editing, voiceover and footage is all brilliant - I feel really up-to-date on the story now so thank you! Glad to see this video getting the attention it deserves

The thing Valeria wants to get or make is probably a rift gate it looks like the rift gate that rift warden stellan was trying to make. I dont know what im yapping about it sounded cooler in my head

I think the "icy secrets" references that you pointed out in the vid, & just the ice theme in general with The Ageless Explorer _could_ be related to Zenith Wall, the landmark next to Grand Glacier, with zenith having *2* definitions; 1. the time at which something is most powerful or successful. 2. the point in the sky or celestial sphere directly above an observer _Maybe_ hinting that there's something there that either A. helps The Ageless/Young Gēno with achieving his ultimate goal/making him the most powerful being in the omniverse (& thus fully turning him back into present-day Gēno), or B. something that'll need to be powered-up by some celestial object that'll appear at the *zenith* of the island's atmosphere later this chapter. Or hell it can even be *both* 🤯🤯

Theory: Something is going to happen to Peely, whether he dies or just leaves on his own, and it's going to be enough to push Jonsey into the path of evil, and he'll end up being the villain for however long this storyline goes on for

I watched this and understood everything while in queue thx for the banger

I feel like if valeria died it would be a better arc for hope, like imagine if one of their familiar died a mother or someone in general close. Hope is able to griev in peace and let it go meanwhile Valeria can't she can't accept the passing of a loved one and distances herself from her remaining family. After finding something that could revive the person, she opens pandora's box. Releasing all evil at once and diyng without accomplishing her goal, this could lead to hope going on this endless search her sister died for. This thery is also very similar to a greek myth about a boy who loses his wife and goes to hades to get her back, the god says yes but if he looked behind him his wife will dissappear, but as hes nearing the exit curiosity gets the upper hand on him and he looks dooming his wife to stay in hades forever.

aint no way bro just predicted the future

I would love to see old villains come back. Like the evil version of the imagined order makes a small comeback. Other villains like kado Thorne, chaos agent, Midas, the ageless, the cube queen, the herald, the devourer, and maybe geno finally get revealed. The seven come back to help fight all the villains. It would total chaos but it would be so cool. Imagine all the fortnite villains on one map fighting against each other or against us, and we have to take them all down again.

Idk if this is true but some people in Sweden say that lavish lair looks like "hjularöd slott" wich is a castle in Sweden where the movie "Mysteriet på Greveholm" (The Mystery at Greveholm) was made

Imagine if the next season og takes us to chapter 2 and midas uses the device differently

Midas tried to break the loop. She may try to resurrect the Midas snapshot that created the loop breaking doomsday machine. She would be immortal if she knew how to survive the loop and how to break the loop like Midas did

I think with all the ice talk geno is gonna gat a snapshot of ice king and use him to manipulate the ice or use him as a battery to power something to uncover the ice but regardless of what he does I do think it eluding a return of ice king

Man thank you so much I was starting to get bored that the fortnite story line isn't going anywhere but now I am excited

I love the Similarities to Chapter 2 with Alter and Ego/Society and Underground

Here later on confirming that you are correct

I've had the theory that this universe were in isn't parallel but just in the future compared to when we were last in it. Around the map like you said we see things from the old times, there are even picture of old POI's, and like you said Midas' boat has his logo/sign in it

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR EXPLAINING THE STORY TO ME I WAS SO CURIOUS

I’m sure this video will be great Edit: it was

I dont say this to be mean, but it may help to know that the chrome Midas spray was given out in a tournament

Theory: Midas might join the Underground due to the stolen yacht, Marigold. This also proves my point that he is also trying to help Peely because of them working together even though he is still a boss but he might have gone mature like John Jones.

i think the "wanting control over the omniverse" part of geno means he may be allies with the last reality and may unleash havoc onto the fortnite map at the end of the chapter

Man Midas needs to come back😢😢😢😢

Maybe the icy secrets on his cosmetics refer to that one part in the timeline where the ice king had a bunch of the strong relics and he wants those relics. 19:06

Montague is pretty clearly a snapshot of Midas. The Imagined's and The Order's snapshots are stronger than them and more valuable to Geno. What's more valuable and strong than gold? Diamonds.

@Rezztro check the coral buddy area, it has been updated

Bro I remember I use to play your customs way back like in Jules season you grew a lot

been waiting for this 😂😂

wait 5:53 is the background music from the hit game Genshin Imapct? I swear that's the Dawn Winery theme 😭 Fantastic video!! Live Laugh Lore Fortnite!

The only question im wondering is that what is Midas's Deal if hes gonna return in the storyline? I like the idea of The Society stealing Midas's Yacht. SO What If Montague Stole The Marigold Yacht and Midas is going to get revenge against The Society. I know this is a big stretch but will see whats gonna happen. Hopefully will see more of Midas and get more Lore of him from Charlie Wenn

I think the icy secrets is something with The Ice King and his blade (the infinity blade)

The ageless explorer is probably like the ice king, and in the comics it was shown he was actually a type of hero, he kept secret powerful items in ice to protect reality, or something like that.. Anyways Genos is probably after that, if not maybe the next iceking? No idea.

Can’t wait to see! V’been waiting for this video 🍿🍾👀

Theory: The Icy Secrets in the Ageless description for backbling and pickaxe might refer to the ice moon from chapter 3.

Hi Rezztro it’s just I have a tiny objection about Nisha being a Italian . Nisha is a member of The Society , locating in Fencing 🤺 Fields . To me Nisha is an Indian, if you analyse the Name “ Nisha “ It’s kinda Indian and we can see that Nisha has got a dark skin and it just to me , she might be an Indian And lastly If you look to the Dawn Duelist Nisha Style we can see that the suit that Nisha wears , kinda have some sari texture ( if you don’t know what a sari is , a sari is actually a clothes that Indians womans wear )

i thinkn the ice stuff with the ageless explorer is talking about the ice king and how geno wants something to do with the ice king

finally, someone talks about this, and if to support this theory I theorise every season in chapter 5 will be half and half based on 2 seasons from chapter 2 so basically chapter 5 season 1: chapter 2 season 1&2 chapter 5 season 2: chapter 2 season 3&4 chapter 5 season 3: chapter 2 season 5&6 and for the finale season where we might actually see the LR again chapter 5 season 4: chapter 2 season 7&8 and this of course will still fit Epics one chapter per year theming (oh yeah, even though Hopes music pack is mostly in Japanese at least what everyone is saying, I still believe Valeria and Hope are Spanish or Spanglish because of her music being in a guitar, but Greek might be right as well)

It makes sense cause there was a rivalry in chapter 2 season 1 and midas showed up in season 2.... soooo "history" could repeat its self again.. "rivalry" in chapter 5 season 1 and.... "midas" in season 2😮😮😮

Giant ice king. That's what vibes I'm receiving from the Jeno's rift that's being sent, hmm

Dopeness dopest dope I ever .. you get the point

you make so good videos unlike that other guy ive been seeing

Hey , I think there is one guy in the Society who is double crossing , the diamond dude ? Yeah in the time it mod short by Fortnite you can see diamond guy next to hope and jones , maybe there is a double cross going on ?

I have a theory about the butterfly: it’s the butterfly from the event in season 6 and is a rift butterfly and she is trying to harness the power of rift energy that may lead drift into all of this

valaria's probably spelled her name wrong, but anyway the moth on her music pack which may be confusing since she's got more pheonix motifs has symbolism for change, transformation, and growth, that is my mini theory.

the ice refrence could be related to the ice kings weopons

I already know this is jammed packed with lots of info!

i think the ageless explorer and the backbling and pickakce say icy secrets so the IO bunkers could be in the snow if the ice melts

I think the agless explorrer ice hints might have to do with the large glacier with a plane frozen into it, maybe something we havent seen is frozen in the ice again

i think (especially if the next season is Greek Mythology based.) Valeria being the whole phoenix = death & RESSURECTION thing is going to try and get Midas back and will be the reason he shows up again (and also the reason his and his crews stuff is seen all around) and what ever is in that box in her loading screen will be what she needs to do it and prolly needs Jones to get it or get INTO it. and why does the underground wanna stop that.. well we all know how the saying goes. Once you open Pandoras box.. it can never be closed again. So will it be a good or bad thing.. idk, we'll see. or with the society's color scheme and logo. what if Midas is the REAL leader/boss of them. and Monte & Valeria are just a acting face/puppet. They got Midas's colors (black & gold) the logo looks like his gold hands a little too. and the thing where Hope said "i hope Valeria sees that im right." What if they got into it cause Hope was trying to tell her Midas is just using her for his own greed (cause IRL and i think in FN also King Midas's greed and love for gold was his downfall & Hope seen that and was trying to warn her before getting to deep in his plan but it was too late so now shes taking it into her own hands.. e.g forming The Underground. but tbh idk im just spit balling off of what i seen and what i heard in this video

I got a question do you think the lex luthor cliffhanger in the batman zero point storyline is going anywhere?

Bro this video was well explained and honestly you just got a new subscriber

I reckon MIdas is the brother of the diamond dude in the society and the great power valerias looking for is to ressurect midas and his crew, not only that you were talking about the ties of chapter 2 and chapter 5 but i think chapter 2 is what would of happened if the diamond dude took leadership but a tiny bit different and because he didn't even more things changed

Im thinking someit here, because Valeria has Pandora’s box once she opens it, Zeus will know, bringing himself and loads of Greek characters to the island, and with all the leaks so far hinting a Greek mythology season, this all ties into what Valeria has planned. Also Midas is a Greek god who got too greedy of gold. Like his character in FORTNITE! 😯

I think that hope and valeria are the two snapshots daughters of geno, im probably wrong but idk

I’m thinking that Montague is so similar to Midas because he is this universes version of him, which also explains why his boat is now owned the the society

Theory: ice and secrets, if anyone remembers the ice king, he had to freeze so many things (which would have caused damage if not freezed) and, maybe the ageless explorer wants to know about those things that were so dangerous for the fortnite island, likely coz he wants PERFECTION and "Dusk" apparently could be dark, so maybe he wants to perfectly rule the dark and by getting those dangerous things he could do so? I haven't catched up that much to the story line since I stopped playing this game but it could be

Wasn't there a quest from the Rift Warden that lead us to a prophecy about some hero fighting a monster? Could Geno end up looking for the ice monster to control? 🤔

Imagen that Jones and midas work together to get peele back. And the sociaty trys to chapture both of them

I was playing the Lego Fortnite, and cat guy from Midas came to my village and said if you’re looking for peely, he’s in the snow

Actually season 5 is a Greek mythology Season including Hades,Zeus and more. Also we are getting new bosses like a Cerberus as a clue we already have. This is basically about the underworld and the real world connecting. So hopefully we get more greek boses like Hades and Posiden.

I wasnt playing for the big bang event, i joined a few weeks ago

Are we going to see the map that Jonesy and The Foundtion were seen gliding onto when they jumped through the zero point in the collistion event?

This was actually so helpful and got me interested in the story again
