AVENGERS: ENDGAME Concept Art Reveals Some Fun Alternate Takes On Chris Hemsworth As "Fat Thor"

Chris Hemsworth's hunky God of Thunder went through some major changes in Avengers: Endgame, and concept artist Wesley Burt has now shared some fun, alternate takes on Thor's new look as "Fat Thor!"

Avengers: Endgame's leap five years into the future meant that many of the heroes we know and love went through some massive transformations. Hawkeye became Ronin, Captain Marvel got a new suit and hairstyle, and Thor...well, Thor was almost completely unrecognisable! 

Devastated over his failure to stop Thanos' "snap," Thor returned to New Asgard and gained a ton of weight after developing what appeared to be a fairly serious drinking problem (not to mention a love of pizza). The hero was depressed, but his new look saw some fans dub this version of the Asgardian "Fat Thor" - an apt, but slightly disrespectful, moniker for The God of Thunder. 

While he was admittedly the butt of many jokes in Avengers: Endgame, it was a hard-hitting story arc in many ways, and Marvel Studios concept art Wesley Burt has shared some fresh designs. 

Thor: Ragnarok hadn't even started shooting when these were created, so it's fascinating to see the work that went into giving Thor an overhaul before artists like Burt had seen the tonal shift for the character Taika Waititi delivered with his colorful, eclectic take on the Marvel Comics superhero.

Hadn't thought about it until now, but I wish he'd gone back to the eyepatch, actually. It helps sell his evolution from young ambitious man to pale imitation of his father.

Thor and Hulk were treated like garbage in all the Avengers movies. Fat Thor made me want to leave the Theater.

Fat Thor... The only thing I didn't like about Endgame and the reason why the film is 9.9/10 compared to Infinity War's 10/10.

How did we got from this:



to this:

@kylo0607 - “how did we go from this to this..”

Depression

@MrDandy - It is one thing to show the transformation as a result of depression.

But it is totally another to use that for jokes to undermine the somber tone and stakes of the film ("Cheese Wiz", "Pretty sure he's dead", "I am totally from the future", "Lebowski", prolonging the Reality Stone explanation with "Jane was an old flame of mine", Thor deciding to re-join the team just because there is beer on the ship, etc).

Oh look "ruby" posting another very joshesque article...

@TH29 - There’s definitely something fishy about Ruby. Either she’s Josh’s wife, close friend, or Josh Himself. Who, by the way, I have always thought was a generic pen name used by multiple people to churn out articles without repercussions.

@Saintsinnister - I mean the similarities are just too much

The MCU has made a mockery of many characters which I feel deserved more or relegated them to nothing more than supporting characters. Thor had one of his most badass scenes in Endgame when he decapitated Thanos only for them to ruin him by making him a fat joke, The Hulk has long been getting made into a joke in the MCU, Nick Fury in the comics is awesome but here he's nothing more than a token black man he deserves of much more.

@TheJustinHammer - I'm not racist at all I'm black myself. Nick fury is garbage in the MCU Nick Fury necer really does much of anything all it is is Samuel L. Jackson playing himself, Nick Fury is character deserving of much better than being nothing more than a cameo character.

Kind of wish they kept the eyepatch. Anyways I liked Thor a lot in Endgame. Yeah, he was played up for laughs but also has some great emotional beats
