It's really interesting reflecting on this season nearly 2 years later. This was Donald Mustard's final season as the 'loremaster' of the game, and you can tell because everything made afterwards seems to have nothing to do with what was being built up to. I know Fortnite and narrative might not cross a lot of people's minds, but I really appreciated the purpose it gave to each map change and new gameplay element. My friend filled me in on what I missed from Chapter 1 Season 5 - Chapter 2 Season 6, and Chapter 3 Season 2 felt really story focused with the war between the factions and all the tanks and blimps and stuff. During the end event where Slone was seemingly killed, and Jonesy+Dwayne Johnson went off to fight the true villain from the EU, it really felt like a huge milestone in the story had been met and that we were nearing a conclusion or 2nd arc. Immediately after that, this season felt like a filler episode of sorts, as nothing happened for months. Turns out that those story threads would never get resolved in any meaningful way. Furthermore, this season teased the future in terms of collabs and reception: Darth Vader, Dragonball items, and the beginning of people not hating on the game anymore. Looking back this really was the turning point where the story was ditched for insane collabs.
