They don't look muscular covered up or not. He doesn't look strong. Just looks like a typical fat fuck you would see on the street. I see plenty of dudes built like him on the construction site.

This game should have the viking myth where Thor dresses up as a bride get his hammer back. So these freaks can freak out.
I thought Baldur was unique, so I like this too. I thought Thor’s sons looked typical and boring though.

Well I had issues with them portraying Baldr as a tatt'ed up, whiny, little bitch in the first one.

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.

Do you really think Thor is an endurance fighter? I don't think so.
The frikkin' god of thunder is not a F1 race car, he's a freight train much like a Berserker!
I know that video, that's why he's losing weight for the boxing match against Eddie Hall. I've already explained this here.
Thor is certainly not a nimble fighter like McGregor, he's the Norse embodiment of strength and known for his feats of might.
I would love to see McGregor try this:
Well yes, that's exactly my point, he'd have snapped McGregor in half.
Also, I highly doubt Vikings had any notion of being "ripped". The concept of low bodyfat is a recent one and the result of modern day nutrition plus supplements.
Early bodybuilders for example looked like this (yes this was considered very muscular):
It took until the mid 60s or early 70s until more ripped bodybuilders would even appear.
A Viking from the past would eat to get strong and would certainly not have the luxury to pass on calories. Our modern day notion of strength and athleticism differs very much from the past.
I highly doubt the Vikings would have imagined a "ripped" Thor.
I've no idea what we're even debating anymore. I never said Thor should be ripped, I just noted that with his body type, and were he indeed like other strong men, it would be hard for any kind of prolonged physical contest to occur before they've burned out their energy. Obviously, this is ignoring Thor is a god. Again, in another post I point to Baldur as an example of smaller but still obviously quite strong.
If we're just going to say 'well gods can look like whatever they want' then it doesn't matter how they physically appear and there is no purpose in trying to compare them to real life people and body types.
Your bit about McGregor makes zero sense, why would I even begin to think that he can do strongman lifts? He's a UFC fighter. Obviously moving more raw mass is going to favor the individual who trained expressly to do that. I also never said that Haftor could not kill McGregor given the size disparity, no idea where you're inferring any of this.

That's okay, I plan on burying my leviathan axe into his skull, not sucking his nuts. The rest of you, should do the same.

They're actually not saggy Ts. His chest looks mostly flat if you look at just the actual chest.I'd rather say his saggy tits are a
But then he went and got some saggy Ts tattooed on his chest and it's extremely unflattering ... it's like an optical illusion.

When he deadlifted 501kg he was at his heaviest and fattestCool man, there’s some fat strong people, there’s some ripped strong people too.

It sounded like you took umbrage with my assessment of Thor's strongman aesthetic, otherwise why even bring up McGregor in the first place? It should be pretty evident that Thor isn't an endurance fighter and neither is he known for being nimble. I agreed with you that different physiques have different advantages, so I really don't get why you're being so confrontational.

Meh the vast majority the male characters have been ripped and jacked in God of war.
Hades is the one acception I can think of and his design was one of the best.
I like his design he's meant to be a raging drunk In the story and this makes him stand out.

It was an observation on my part about that kind of physique in the real world. I regret posting it.
Good talk.
That’s not 9 percent.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!
Is strength all that matters? Mobility would certainly matter when fighting. They aren’t doing a weight lifting competition.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:
Losing this much weight also cost him a lot of strength!

Mimir literally called him a fat dobber in the first game...and he's also missing his chest piece I think.
Anyway, That's how he's gonna look in the game. Get over it.

Still looks better than your favourite JRPG protag. Keep on chugging that mead Thor.
