“Would you call Tom Stoltman fat?” he asked, “How about his brother, Luke? Or anyone else in the World’s Strongest Man line-up? These men are at the peak of physical condition, they have to be. “He had to run in some events in World’s Strongest Man,” notes Darren, “I don’t run unless there’s cake involved.” He’s the strongest man on the planet who excelled in both static events like the squat, and dynamic events like the Atlas Stones.” Look at this year’s winner, Tom Stoltman, a Dad Bod to end all Dad Bods. “With the notable exception of Mariusz Pudzianówski, WSM competitors are brick outhouses with power bellies, big ball guts that give them a good centre of gravity. “If you’re still not convinced, look at any recent World’s Strongest Man line up,” he said. “I have a belly and it honestly helps me lift better compared to when I was leaner and lifting in the 110s,” says Darren. That record still stands and is the heaviest lift by a man over 40 in the federation. The picture above is Darren setting his second world record when he weighed 133kg and lifted 380kg. Any old fool can get abs – yes I am looking at you, Mr Hemsworth – but a power belly and big traps (the muscles either side of your neck) are the sign of a bloody strong man. They’ll have a layer of lard over it, a power belly. Like many major character re-designs in history, this may prove to be one that grows on naysayers over time thanks to its authenticity, and it should suit the personality of God of War's Thor.“The guys lifting the biggest weights will often be in the under 125kg class, but not all these guys will have abs, far from it. By choosing to create a design vastly different than the Thor present in the MCU, it will only help God of War: Ragnarok stand out on its own even more. While it is fair if this interpretation of Thor isn't to everyone's personal tastes, as that all comes down to preference, it cannot be denied that Santa Monica Studio have done something special.
Because of this, he cares little for how handsome he may be, and has put on a good deal of weight and now sports a large amount of facial hair. A true Viking, he also partakes in heavy amounts of drinking and consumption of food, completely giving into gluttony and pleasure at any given opportunity. Thor is an individual who relishes in constant battle, savoring the victory over his enemies and often bragging about it in their faces. Thor, simply put, is not the nicest man to come face to face with. While the MCU version did keep Thor's often brash and arrogant nature intact, his Norse counterpart is far more intense and fear mongering. While he is a good fit for a fun big screen experience, this is not at all the Thor from ancient Norse mythology, nor would it fit into the world already established by Santa Monica Studio. He is in impeccable physical condition, incredibly handsome, and has a likeable personality. Chris Hemsworth's interpretation is great in its own way, but it is without a doubt coated in a glossy layer that Hollywood is commonly known for. This is why it should come as no surprise why Santa Monica Studio chose to follow the creative path that it has for Thor's appearance in God of War: Ragnarok.

The God of War series as a whole has strived for this authenticity even from its earlier days on the PS2, aiming to capture the mythologies it is inspired by as closely as possible. But it was the meticulous and faithful attention to detail in recreating ancient Norse mythology that may have stolen the show, elevating the entire experience to a whole new level. However, his sons, Magni and Modi, joined his brother Baldur in hunting after the. Thor has yet to be encountered personally by either Kratos or Atreus. One day, Thor found the giant Hrungnir walking in Midgard. The following tales are all accounts of Thor's cruelty. 2018's God of War had a lot of fantastic elements at play, including a gripping story and engaging combat system. Thor is the son of Odin, father of Magni and Modi, the Norse God of Thunder, and one of the most well-known (or notorious) Aesir.
