An original avenger, Thor is indeed one of the key players in the epic finale of Marvel's superhero team "Avengers: Endgame" (theatrical). But it's not the same Nordic god that we left in 2017 "Thor: Ragnarok" or 2018 "Avengers: Infinity War."

Most "Endgames" take place five years after Thanos' "War to Infinity" wiped out half of humanity. At that time, Thor did not stay physically and mentally fit. He is depressed, he has a gigantic beer belly, he has pushed his hair almost to the terror and he has barely left his house where he tells his comrades Fortnite players with a helmet.

The shorn-haired Thor with his elegant beard and imposing physique has not aged well, but he feels guilty for not being able to save his friends and his brother Loki, killed by Thanos.

What does star Chris Hemsworth say about all this? Well, At the premiere of the movie "Avengers: Endgame" in Los Angeles on Monday, when USA TODAY questioned him about his involvement in the evolution of his character, Hemsworth said he was pleased that filmmakers are adopting a new direction for Thor.

"I just have an opinion. I wanted to do something different this time. Every film that I wanted, especially the last couple, and they were on board, "he said, evoking the fact that his warrior, once serious and long-haired, had become a much more bitten and more elegant in "Thor: Ragnorak". "War of infinity."

Steve McFeely and Chris Markus, writers of "Infinity War" and "Endgame", said on the first red carpet that their collaboration with Hemsworth had "played a determining role" in the redefinition of Thor.

Hemsworth added, "We shot for several hours and days and discussed the distance we could push (Thor) and what we could do differently."

At the premiere of "Endgame", the audience applauded and laughed at the introduction of the big Thor, and continued to roar when later comments were made on the new body of the guy who had once had the most chiselled abs. of the galaxy. A character drew Thor out of his video game cavern with the promise of beer. Another suggested that Odin's son eat a salad. Comparisons were made between Thor and "The Big Lebowski".

The new Thor was a hit from the first, but that does not mean that it was well received by all. Site The Mary Sue calls the new characterization of Thor "problematic" and "described as a non-stop fat joke."

On Twitter, fans wrote that they were "viscerally upset" this big Thor was "the ass of jokes", and said that Marvel wasted "a brilliant opportunity to show how a trauma can turn a warrior to the iron will into … disorder. "

But it seems like Thor was linked to a different body type on the screen at one point. The director of "Ragnarok", Taika Waititi, revealed in the MTV podcast "Happy Sad Confused" that he wanted the character to be a chubby child in a scene that did not make the final film.

"I wanted to do some flashbacks when Thor was a big kid (in) an Asgard 80s version where everyone had massive shoulder pads and everyone had mules. Thor was the fat boy, "Waititi said," Just that little fat kid who walks around with a mule and is chosen by other kids. "
