3 Best And 3 Worst Things About Fat Thor

Among the many shocking developments in Avengers: Endgame, Thor's transformation from buff God of Thunder to depressed dad bod has to rank near the top of the list and while there's a lot to love about this narrative twist, it's far from perfect. Here are the three best and worst things about Thick Thor.

Heroes always have their low points, but Thor's is pretty darn low. He spends the bulk of Infinity War off on his own side quest in the hopes of coming back with a weapon that could ultimately turn the tide and it almost does, too. When we get to Endgame, though, Thor isn't just distracted by his own motivations and plans, he's completely lost his way. Throughout much of Endgame, "Bro Thor," as Marvel officially labels him in a Blu-ray featurette, continually makes poor decisions and prioritizes his own needs over everyone else's.

This is immediately made clear when Rocket and Professor Hulk arrive in New Asgard to find that the "king" is hiding away playing video games and only interacts with his people in order to restock on beer. And what about when he time travels to Asgard with Rocket in order to extract the Aether from his old flame, Jane Foster? He crumbles in fear as soon as the rubber hits the road, needing Rocket's tough-guy pep talk to help him turn a corner. Which even then, doesn’t work!

By the time Avengers and Thor: The Dark World rolled around, the one-dimensional aspect of Thor's character as a musclebound hero was getting old fast. The early manifestations of the son of Odin were powerful and all, but there just wasn't much substance there … that is, until director Taika Waititi arrived on the scene. Keep watching the video to see the 3 best and 3 worst things about Fat Thor!
