Why did Thor become a dead fat otaku? The director of "Avengers 4" gave an explanation

In Avengers: Endgame, the treatment of Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, becoming a fat otaku after experiencing setbacks has become one of the focuses of discussion after watching the movie. Some netizens think this is a good joke, and it also pays tribute to the protagonist Lebowski played by Jeff Bridges in the Coen brothers' classic film The Big Lebowski; but at the same time, some netizens cannot accept Thor's transformation this time, thinking it is "too undignified". Recently, the two directors of Avengers 4, brothers Anthony and Joe Russo, also accepted an interview with the media and talked about the specific treatment of Thor's image transformation.

Joe Russo said that the humorous elements in "Thor 3: Ragnarok" directed by Taika Waititi had a significant impact on the transformation of Thor's image in "Avengers 4". "We had already made our own version of the character, and then we found a way to integrate Taika Waititi's humor while also taking into account the psychological authenticity of the character."

Joe Russo said that after Thanos snapped his fingers, Thor suffered a severe physical and mental trauma, so he fell into a state of stagnation and depression, and this is how he chose to look forward. How will everyone deal with sadness? We hope that they will deal with it in different ways. Thor is a very tragic character. He has been taught since he was a child that he will be a king in the future. How far can a character like this go? How will some people, especially Chris Hemsworth, deal with it?

Chris Hemsworth also participated in the production of Thor's image transformation. The Russo brothers said that the body shape change actually has a more serious side. "We talked to him about this very early," said Anthony Russo. "We just think about it on a personal level, how each Avenger can move forward from the moment of the end of Infinity War."

Anthony Russo said that even though his appearance brought some laughs, it was not a simple gag, it was a manifestation of his frustration and pain at the character level, and we think this is also one of the most resonant aspects of him. This is an unforgettable experience in his life.

At the end of "Avengers 4", Thor handed over his throne to the Valkyrie, and he seemed to have joined the Guardians of the Galaxy. At the same time, there is a possibility that "Thor 4" will start filming. Let us look forward to Thor's new image in the future Marvel Universe.
