Just.....what. No im not saying I want #hemsworth in this I dont mind the attire the hair etc. Its just, a god that should be one of the most recognize-able and should scream badassery is thor but just.....whaaaaattttt

I also dislike how much like the other site "omg body shaming how dare you" do people realize how unhealthy it is to be obese? Its not just a detriment to yourself its also to our health care system. If you can walk to the fridge fine you can exercise. Stop making obesity a norm in society.

When I see Thor like this I'm not thinking about how cool or powerful he looks, Im thinking about diabetes.

 

[Banjo64]

Just looks like any fat piss head I’d see in any Weatherspoons.

 

[Derktron]

Maybe..............just maybe you should read up on your history you Sony fanboys are starting to really piss me off. I'm logging off cause I can't take the ignorance and do not want to be banned for stating my opinion. I'm out cause lol

 

[strange headache]

Ever seen a frikkin' strongman?

This is much closer to the mythological Thor than your Marvel movies. Do you really think a strong Viking would have cared about his 9% body fat? F*ck no!

 

[Xeaker]

Disgusting.

 

[Mr Hyde]

I don't like the design either. There's too few belts in his armor, better call Tetsuya Nomura asap.

 

[ManaByte]

This is Norse mythology Thor, not Marvel Thor. There's a difference.

 

[p_xavier]

He's nipply.

Cool man, there’s some fat strong people, there’s some ripped strong people too.

 

[Con-Z-epT]

I like it since it is not the typical stereotype.

 

[T8SC]

 

[OrionNebula]

Why do I feel this is just as much about obesity as it is about Thor’s design?

Personally, I like the design. I actually liked all the designs I’ve seen in the promo shots

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

I like that they're actually going for something relatively close to the historical source material

 

[Soodanim]

Stop whining, the design is fine

 

[TonyK]

Without the hammer would be a blacksmith or tavern drunk NPC at best.

 

[NoviDon]

Well I'll just say I was shocked to see that at first as well. But then I wondered why? And as a counter argument the reason behind making Thor fat could be because he has rested on his laurels for hundreds of years because nobody could challenge him. He's the most powerful god by a mile in his territory so he could afford to sit around and get lazy and careless. Maybe that is what the character designer and writer was thinking.

[Dick Jones]

I can't believe that SSM didn't copy the real version of Thor, A Norse God who looks like a blonde Australian.

Is this a rehash argument of Abby by this site for 2021/2022? The characters won't fuck you no matter what they look like.

 

[Chukhopops]

The design is good but the armor is stupid, people complained for years that female armor made no sense as it exposed the midriff and chest. And now we get this which only protects you against attackers from the side… as long as you don’t lift your arms.

Edit: forgot the belts, this is double stupid actually.

 

[data_jack]

I've got perception bias from the Marvel movies I've seen, but those up top demonstrated the strongmen physiques and now I'm sold

 

[Punished Miku]

I guess I'll reserve judgment until I see the final product.

I've changed my mind about this game, and basically it's time to just go dark. In one game they're going to have to live up to the reputations of Thor, Odin, Loki, and wrap up the entire Norse storyline. I'm now of the belief that they're basically hiding 99% of the game's major events.

Thor and Odin in particular remain the most hidden aspects of the entire game. So I guess I'll just wait to experience it before making my final judgment. I would have never thought the first game's villain was anything special visually, but the actor performance and the insane shock of experiencing his boss fights made him one of my favorites. Thor has to top that or it's going to be seen as a disappointment.

Did you have a problem with Baldur completely bare-chested?

 

[strange headache]

Cool man, there’s some fat strong people, there’s some ripped strong people too.

You're aware that The Mountain Hafþór went on a severe diet and lost 50kg of weight so he could box against Eddie Hall? This is what he had to look like in order to break Eddie's deadlift WR:

In the video, Bjornsson says he feels a lot fitter and healthier.

"I feel so much better than I felt when I was 205 kilograms.

"I was force feeding myself every single day, about to puke every single day.

"I kept eating because my goal was to be the strongest human on this earth. Now I have different goals so I don't have to be force feeding myself. Feels good."

Losing this much weight also cost him a lot of strength!

 

[mxbison]

I think it looks great and it fits the lore much better than Marvels Australian beach boy Thor....

 

[MrS]

Finally a character I can relate to

Real talk he looks amazing. You wouldnt fuck with this dude. He will fuck you up

 

[Imru’ al-Qays]

Without the hammer would be a blacksmith or tavern drunk NPC at best.

Given God of War's portrayal of the gods, both Greek and Norse, I think it's likely that Thor's personality will in fact strongly resemble that of a tavern drunk.

 

[Rea]

I wish his stomach is a little smaller. It could have been much better.

 

[Punished Miku]

Ryan Hurst - Wikipedia

en.wikipedia.org

This is Thor, Ryan Hurst. Sons of Anarchy, Saving Private Ryan, and more.

 

[Coolwhhip]

This design actually makes sense, unlike Aloy who is fat while she is supposed to be an agile hunter.

 

[FunkMiller]

Fuck me, OP. Are you sad you can’t play the xylophone on Thor’s chiselled abs? Are you upset about imagining his big tubby gut looming over you while he caresses your face?

The design is fine: big fucking Norse twat with a hammer.

 

[SLB1904]

I like it a lot

 

[Hugare]

This obese dude has striked the World Serpent so hard that made it go back in timee

You'll see badassery from him, dont worry

 

[NahaNago]

Oh crap, I thought that was a made up fake thor design for god of war. I can't say that I'm a fan. I would have preferred a better outfit.

 

[FunkMiller]

The design is good but the armor is stupid, people complained for years that female armor made no sense as it exposed the midriff and chest. And now we get this which only protects you against attackers from the side… as long as you don’t lift your arms.

He’s literally a fucking god.

 

[Marvel]

Outfit is the only issue I have with him. Don't mind him being a fat fuck.

 

[Bragr]

Huh? you don't have to go back far in history to find those big fat guys were the strong ones. Your argument that he is unhealthy and would be a burden on the health care system is like arguing that Kratos shouldn't get tattoos because they might become infected.

 

[Aenima]

I like it alot. Was not expecting it but looks great.

As mentioned, made me think of an actual strong man that spends a good amount of time chugging Ale, instead of lifting weights at the local Asgard Gym

 

[El Pistolero]

Just.....what. No im not saying I want #hemsworth in this I dont mind the attire the hair etc. Its just, a god that should be one of the most recognize-able and should scream badassery is thor but just.....whaaaaattttt

You realize he does not exist, right?

His armor is stupid, and so is Kratos' leather pad over one pec armor in the middle of a glacial ice storm.

 

[Chukhopops]

Did you have a problem with Baldur completely bare-chested?

Imo Baldur was a terrible design too but it made sense that a guy who is basically indestructible doesn’t wear armor.

 

[SLB1904]

I mean skinner than that just Victoria secrets models

 

[Aion002]

Why care? At the end of the game his body will be beaten beyond recognition.



Kratos will probably punch a hole through Thor's belly... No belly... No problem. Kratos will fix it for you.

 

[NeonGhost]

Are we just making threads about every detail we don’t like in games now ?

 

[Unknown?]

I only wish his nipples were the size of paper plates.

 

[ReBurn]

Cool man, there’s some fat strong people, there’s some ripped strong people too.

Is this a fat one or a ripped one

 

[HermitSperg691]

Outfit is the only issue I have with him. Don't mind him being a fat fuck.

This Thor looks better.

 

[Coolwhhip]

I mean skinner than that just Victoria secrets models

I mean her face.

 

[LazyParrot]

Complaining about the body weight and blood sugar level of a fictional deity on a gaming board. And I though I'd seen it all.

 

[SJRB]

You often get upset over the physical wellbeing of fictional characters?

 

[PaddyOCanager]

I think he looks awesome.
