The animator’s homage effectively portrayed the lively choreography with remarkable precision. The vividly depicted scene truly animated the iconic dance routine.

This animated Deadpool content immediately captured the interest of the Fortnite community, sparking enthusiastic reactions from players. In less than 24 hours, the post had garnered nearly 300 comments and 70,000 likes.

Fans were vocal about their appreciation for the animator’s talent and ingenuity. Several asked if the animator was open to doing commissioned work and also requested a version with the complete choreography.

The reaction was overwhelmingly positive, as even Fortnite’s Chief Creative Officer Donald Mustard expressed his admiration by saying, “Wow!! Absolutely amazing. You are SO talented! This gives me all the feels.”

Despite the enthusiasm, a sense of disappointment was evident among certain players. They believed that the Fortnite game should have included the Deadpool dance emote. “It’s disheartening that they didn’t add an emote to the shop after the movie was released,”one fan expressed.

Many Fortnite players are frustrated not just by the lack of this emote, but also by the current state of Chapter 5 Season 3. This season has been widely criticized as the worst one yet, causing growing discontent among players.
