Fat Thor Has A New Name, And You'll Either Love It Or Hate It

Move over, "Fat Thor" everybody's favorite electric Asgardian just got a new, less fat-shamey moniker.

In advance of the digital and Blu Ray release of Avengers: Endgame, Marvel Studios released an extensive list of the special features awaiting home viewers and one of those features is entitled "The Creation of Bro Thor," which is a slightly more charitable nickname.

It's just the latest development in the ongoing saga of… well, we suppose we're calling him "Bro Thor" now, although we were always partial to Tony Stark's christening of the Thunder God as "Lebowski."

In case you somehow weren't aware of the uproar over the character's portly new physique in Endgame, allow us to recap the madness for you.

In the film's first act, Thor out of sheer rage and frustration unceremoniously decapitated Thanos after the Avengers and Captain Marvel tracked the Mad Titan down to his farm planet. It turned out that Thanos had essentially set the Infinity Stones to self-destruct after using them to complete his mission of wiping out half of all life in the universe. Without the stones, the Avengers had no way to undo what had been done.

The film then jumped forward five years, a period during which our heroes had adjusted to post-Decimation life in a variety of ways. Natasha Romanoff desperately struggled to keep all of Earth's defenders on the same page in the hope of averting another catastrophe. Bruce Banner found a way to retain his smarts and personality after Hulking out.

Tony Stark got married and had a precocious daughter who loved him 3000. As for Thor? Uhh, well …

Well, Thor retired to the New Asgard settlement in Norway to play Fortnite with Korg, drink all of the beer he could possibly get his hands on, and put on just a few pounds. Keep watching the video as we talk about how Fat Thor has a new name, and you'll either love it or hate it!
