8:58 I don’t know why this scene reminded me of that one frozen scene when anna freezes
I like how you guys actually did the Mythological Story “The Midas Touch” instead of making something up
Edit: To People wondering, yes I know this is not taking full inspiration of the story
I know. I don’t know whether that’s being lazy or being thoughtful (I can’t think of any other word)
Midas probably has the best voice actor, he’s so dramatic and knows how to play is part
Tactix Alpha eh, I think he talks to quick. But maybe that’s just how the guy talks
Midas: hears scream, must of been my head
Now lets open these chests
Midas: hears scream again
Midas:ok, that was not my head
Midas: *whole body changes*
Marigold: Dad! did you do something new with your hair?
I’ve just realised Midas as in King Midas from Greek mythology the king who turned his daughter to cold the story was the exact same as this a god gave him his powers for helping save a goat man or something then he turned his daughter to gold
You do know that fortnite took midas idea from that Greek mythology right?
Moral of the story is never high five your kids
Cloaked Boi You can as long as long as you don’t have a golden touch power given by gods
So in order to make him King Midas he needs
•Golden touch: yes
•King: Not yet
•Donkey ears: Plausible
@Sarah MensahK a a L a Y name I won a son of a Yep, If you don’t believe me google it
Yes donkey ears in Greek mythology king Midas had donkey ears and gold touch
I thought that Midas would get donkey ears on April fools bcos that would’ve been cool
4:34 i was wearing earphones, and i literally got sooooo... scared, i thought someone was actually shouting, and i searched all over my house after that i came back to watch the video and then i knew that it was from the video!!!!
Rishik Reddy brooo same I thought I was the only I was like tfff and then I replayed it again and I knew lol 😂
Ryan is the perfect voice for midas, so cool and so intimidating
Hes the best voice for midas
Midas’s daughter: I don’t feel so good
Me: oh looks like thanos is at is again
Midas: I require something, the power to kill a god
Ultima: *nervous sweating*
0:38 I think that man might have some mental issues, he's talking to a damn chair!
To tell you the truth, I expected Skye to be Midas's daughter...
Who do you think will be a better girlfriend/Wife for Midas, Skye Or TnTina
Very creative... great job! Well.... the story has been there for thousands of years, but still a great job!
The quest for gloves awaits midas
FuriousOctavian 503 yeah but then he wouldn’t be able to make direct contact with anything because he would touch the gloves first
“I don’t feel so good...” that reminds me of something but I can’t put my finger on it...
Cough Cough Peter Tingle
The moral of the story is to NEVER high-five your daughter.
danellenandrews you literally copied a comment that was already on here how stupid are you like honestly
danellenandrews, if he was toilet bobbing you’d the one he got out of the toilet.
Midas daughter:I don't feel so good
Midas:no wait
Thanos:now this looks like a job for me
Midas has a pretty normal origin story, he's just the grand grand grand son of the king Midas from Greece, he just inherited his powers.
Um, Midas backstory is actually from Greek legends, and everytime someone would steal something from the Gods, the Gods would give them a wish. This one lady asked for eternal life, but not an eternal body so she was turned to dust, and sat as dust for eternity. Midas stole something and his wish was for everything he touched to be turned to gold, but with that wish he couldn’t eat, because everytime food made contact with his body it would be turned to gold
Thank god he’s not vendettas brother
It doesn't matter kid because they can just be like Drift and Cat hater
@who the hell is this I’m okay with them being friends however brothers who make no sense
Bring Vendetta and singularity back
"I require something, the power... to kill a God..."
wow... that quote paid off in the new episode...
"why are we still here, just to suffer?"
Me: Right Imma go to bed now.
Newscapepro makes new video.
Me: I guess I can stay up for a bit longer...
Also Me 3 hours later: Another one.
Marigold: Mr. Midas, I don't feel so good..
BTW did you notice Oro's in the thumbnail?
I hope Midas doesn't stay evil, fusion is still the main threat. And so I hope Midas sees this and gets redemption.
ivanie ortiz he does, it’s just that, he wants revenge on the god of light, for not helping him fix his daughter, he’s in a way an anti-villain.
@@ImaginaryJ-km7cr the God of light is evil you could call him an anti-hero instead
All well but can you please get Vendetta back and have Midas and Vendetta to be partners
Midas looks 20 something. How could he have been alive "many years ago"
I know it's stupid but I just keep on thinking about that
8:05 everything he touches becomes gold, what about his head?
And whats about him petting meowscles in the trailer
He learned to controll it
Midas: ´´I must show my daughter´´
Me remembering the story of King Midas from the books: Oh No
Side note: I believe that ultimate knight and Midas will meet. One protector of the light against the one who seeks to kill it.
@LegacyEmber04 Last video, 8-Ball does meet Midas, but we we’re left on a cliff hanger -_-
Man I hope Midas isn’t evil he should be a good guy
Is it just me or dose he reminded you of handsome Jack in a way...
"I am A God Dam herO"
Dead Mandalorian he sure looks like him and he’s trying to save his daughter
We need vendetta and singularity back!
@@liamplayz4922 and the 🔥 king they brought him back too
Midas is the most rich fortnite character.
in Greek Mythology, Midas got the golden touch from the Greek God Dionyous because he rescued a satyr
Now let's get Vendetta and singularity back also make Midas and Vendetta be like Drift and Cat like partners
I love how you based this short after the true story of king Midas
Edit: I know this was three months ago, but 295 likes?!?
@Joe Pimpernickel well, your right. It isn’t actually that accurate or true. But still, the daughter turning into gold thing.
8:52
it was at this moment that he knew, he fucked up
I don't feel so good
Cough Peter cough Parker
I love how they made this like the king midas story so great XD
Wasn’t Midas a Greek god and he couldn’t control his gold touch
Who then had Marigold/Zoe (name in accounts)
And died many years after
8:51 Mr Stark I dont feel so good...
Put running water on her. Or pray to the light to let you reverse it. Yeah, I have been to much into Greek Mythology lately.
We need the future people back Vendetta and singularity
I Doubt Their Gonna bring them back. If They Do Then Yay If They Dont, Then Just Forget It.
Can people stop asking this. Their death was so heroic and it would ruin it if they were brought back
If I was going to have the power of the Golden Touch, I would have it so I could choose what turned to gold.
In the myth king Midas simply just asked Dionysus for the gift to be removed and his daughter became normal again together with everything he turned to gold but i guess this is Fortnite not Greek mythology lol...
Didn't he wash the power to turn everything to gold off in a river named Pactolus. It was Dionysus who gave him that tip though. Everything that was turned to gold by his touch could be returned to normal after being washed/bathed in the river.
@@vincentvanelburg1341 Oh nice i didn't know that. I only knew a little bit about the myth since i watched a video about it randomly a few months ago lol, I'm no expert in Greek mythology tho XD
I CALLED IT MIDAS IS GOING TO BE A VILLAIN
Just a theory I think Midas is the one who caused us to get gold variants for the Chapter 2 season 2 battle pass skins.
(I know its kinda obvious but still)
I feel like at the end of this season (if theres an event) Midas might because Fusion or Chaos Agent kills him. Or maybe they introduce time travel to the game and one of the two kills Midas. Just a gut feeling
I just thought of this...
How does Midas eat? If he touches food it turns to gold. Hmmm 🧐
He said he could control his powers more, so he probably just doesn’t turn his food into gold.
He uses a fork. The fork may turn to gold but the food won't. I think it's just his hands that turn things to gold.
Singularity and Vendetta may be alive because they maybe used a escape pod or something.
Only true newscape fans like this comment
Midas daughter: I don’t feel so good
Also Midas daughter: turns to gold
Please make Rox hangout with the fire King and bring Vendetta and singularity back
man i never realized how interesting midas was until now.
Ultima Knight is probably going to be the last one standing in Midas's way to end The Light after he destroys the Elemental Kings/Queen
Its like why they call him brutus HELLO HI MY NAME IS BRUTUS!
Midas’s daughter shouldn’t be gold because in one of the cinematics he pets meowcles and doesnt turn gold but he does have a gold style
Every thing he thoces turns gold he thouches his head
If Midas realized that if he touched anything, it would turn to gold, then why did he touch his daughter and think that it would not turn her to gold.
I was waiting to know his origin
Elias Peniche Cruz well this is his origin in newscapepro’s storyline not in the offing fortnite story
@@cheesemancer7039 King midas
He had a wish that everything he touched would turn into gold
He realized his mistake when he killed a man and turned all his food to gold
The tragic part is tho that he did not care for the man he killed after he got rid of his power
There is another version where same story except he doesn’t kill someone he turns his beloved daughter to a gold statue and he realized his great mistake and begged the gods to take away the curse and turn everything back to normal and then he became normal and everything when back to normal as well and he became a better king and a loving father
I love how this resembles king Midas actual story
Is anyone gonna talk about he touched himself like 3 times
Pedróvski segundo In the actual Fortnite lore, not this makeup garbage, Midas can turn anything he wants into good, not whatever he touches turns to gold
In the trailer he touches a button, when you open the game he’s holding a suitcase, and in the trailer he pets Meowscles so it’s kind of obvious he can control it
Are we just gonna forget the real origin of king Midas in Greek mythology?
I just like how Midas sounds like admiral thrawn from Star Wars rebels
Come on now I know you guys can bring Vendetta and singularity back
And that's how people know that there was something wrong with Midas... 👆
At the beginning I was getting ice king vibes
Came here from that one tiktok slideshow ☠️☠️
Midas : I require the power to kill a god
Me: wait what's something super powerful..... The Fusion orb!!!
1:03 he be looking like shrek
Bro getting them backshots 😭😭
Midas: From the way I see it, we don’t have to serve anyone
A minute later: Midas turns his daughter to gold
Me: From the way I see it, you just got instant karma Midas
So sad I forgot to cry
I like it how that in the real story of Midas he actually wishes to have the gold touch I think.
you can wish anything you want.
midas: i wish for infinite wishes
His long, struggling, journey all began with a high five.
4:34 it got me so scared I thought someone was screaming I had my headphones on I searched an replayed then i was like”FUDGE”
This could have all been avoided if Midas just hadn’t high fived Marigold.
