However, other fans took the exact opposite stance, saying Thor's appearance proved you don't have to be beautiful to be super.

While Avengers: Endgame broke records at the box office over the weeken, Thor’s physical appearance at the beginning of the film prompted some fans to call out the film for fat shaming. Mild Endgame spoilers ahead.

Showing Thor’s alcohol or food consumption as a means of coping with trauma was fine, but Christie had a problem with Thor’s weight being a “strategic joke placed by Marvel to provide some comedic relief from the overall seriousness of the film. Several people on Twitter agreed with Christie, including one user who said she would have preferred to see Thor have more nuanced character development instead of “reduced to a fat joke.”Another user posted on Twitter that the story line includes “a really unacceptable level of fat-shaming.”

She acknowledged there were jokes at the beginning, but said his arc was partially built on his mom’s words: he needs to stop trying to be the person he thinks he’s supposed to be, and instead try to succeed as who he is in the moment.
