Eh its alright. Faces tend to change throughout development anyways. I bet she will look a little different in the final version. Now if it's for better or worse who knows

That's literally what there's is in the myths.

I think the posture is off. But he looks cool. Looks like a big bad dude who rules shit, eats, fucks, and killsEver 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!

I'm more annoyed he isn't wearing Járngreipr to hold Mjölnir. Vambraces don't count.
Not sure if that's Megingjörð on his waist, we'll see...

Strongmen aren't dehydrated models with 8 packs, this is probably what they were going for.
Besides obesity probably affects gods differently and their healthcare plans are pretty good

Then why wear shoulder pads and three layers of leather on his legs? My point is it makes no sense as an armor but to be honest I don’t care that much about it and like I said, design wise he’s ok.

It's designed to cater to the female gaze. The armor is completely unpractical and is designed to show off his nipples.

Because....
It would be weird if every character was a buff pretty boy especially given the mythology.

I rate the design. Don't get the hate. No I'm not fat.

I'm glad they went something different from the mainstream expectation of Thor. Thanks to Marvel, he's a well known character. By going in a very different direction to that mainstream expectation, God of War's Thor will now be separated in the mind of players from Hemsworth.
To go a touch further, when people talk about bold character directions - this is a good example of that in action. It's not pushing an ideological or social commentary angle, it's not designed to "push back" against standards. It's a design that works logically and thematically, that's striking and memorable, and is far removed from what someone would expect. I'm on board.

There's no need to eugoogalize this game.... it's going to be way bigger than the center for kids who can't read good and want to learn to do other stuff good too!
At least three times as big!

Honestly, that's such a popular association with mainstream audiences now that going the opposite direction may have literally been a requirement when you think about it. This Thor is going to be a villain, and I think people are going to more easily take this character on his own merits when he looks the opposite of Marvel's Thor.

Im waiting for Sony Santa Monica Studios for game models who don't look good and want to do other things good tooIt's more accurate than any other pop-culture depictions and quite ballsy I think.
Why does everyone in a game have to look like a model / actor?

I'm thinking this is just normal Thor.
To be full power Thor he may have to put them on, thus gaining a more muscular physique.
We all know trailers and images don't tell us much about everything that will happen, which is why I'm disappointed about everyone who calls it a PS4 DLC.

When have you ever had one of those in a boss fight? Exactly.
I think you're focusing on the wrong guy op. Did you have a look at what they did to Atreus?

Hey... Aloy ain't fat... she just has a bit of a weird shaped head and a bit of a post apocalypse pompadour hair shape that doesn't help. Then they said "Let's spend some GPU resources on thin white hairs on her face".
She's still lovable though.

All that bitching about "woke" and "disrespecting" real/historical norse people... and at the same time all this cry when they see something actually very accurate with the same norse culture.

I take it you're not from Scandinavia. This is what Thor looks like.

This is your idea of ripped? I wouldn’t call this ripped in the slightest. Not saying he isn’t very strong but ripped is something more akin to Chris Heria.Cool man, there’s some fat strong people, there’s some ripped strong people too.
You can’t be ripped and have like 20% body fat.

Considering half the people on this forums probably look like that minus the hammer, i think its ok lol
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.
Truth is, this is how i see

, the belly at least.
