Fats Thor sparked controversy.
Marvel
Together with its second run hitting cinemas, Avengers: Endgame is gearing up for its Blu-ray and digital releases. Wednesday’s announcement of the timings of these introduced one other tidbit: what Marvel has named Thor’s obese post-Infinity Conflict snap self.
Bro Thor.
The identify comes through the title of one of many extras featured within the film’s home-viewing variations. The mini-documentary, titled Bro Thor, explores Thor’s Large Lebowski transformation after he confronted off with Thanos and misaimed his axe Stormbreaker to disastrous penalties.
“His look has modified however his heroism stays! Go behind the scenes to see how Bro Thor was created,” the featurette’s description reads.
Thor’s radical new stomach sparked criticism over fats shaming and the mean-spirited jokes Rocket slings his means. Others applauded the choice to have Thor keep in his bigger form for the ultimate battle scene, as a substitute of reverting to his earlier Norse god self.
You possibly can try the featurette and lots of different further options on digital as of July 30, and Blu-ray on Aug. 13.
