Compare Thor in Marvel movies and God of War Ragnarok

Thor in God of War is creating a lot of controversy.

After months of waiting, fans and the gaming community have finally seen a series of new information about the blockbuster God of War Ragnarok during Sony’s PlayStation event last week. The new trailer shows off the beautiful graphics, interesting storyline, gameplay and especially the new cast of characters. The gaming community was extremely surprised with Thor’s “bulky belly” shape in God of War: Ragnarok.

Santa Monica Studio explained the Thor character design is based on Viking mythology, as opposed to the powerful Thor version of the hugely popular Marvel movies that audiences are more familiar with. Accordingly, Thor’s image will have long red hair, a thick beard, a huge belly and an overall “shabby” appearance. God of War: Ragnarok’s thunder god will be a far cry from what people are used to over the past decade, but is there some reason why Santa Monica Studio has chosen such a different look?

Given the massive impact that the Marvel superhero movie universe has had on popular culture over the past decade, any entertainment adaptation of Mighty Thor will inevitably be compared to actor Chris. Hemsworth about this character. After appearing in three Thor films from 2011 to 2017, as well as in the Avengers films. Thor, played by Chris Hemsworth, has become one of the most recognizable superheroes in cinema. Chris Hemsworth’s impressive presence and charisma bring an interesting layer to the role that makes him one of the most beloved protagonists in the Marvel movie universe.

Chris Hemsworth’s version has become the “face” of Thor for most audiences, which is understandable given his role in the superhero franchise. Santa Monica Studio was able to borrow the realistic look of the Marvel version of Thor by copying and pasting it into God of War: Ragnarok to achieve similar success. However, wanting to do something different and make the game stand out, the team went back to Norse mythology. This “fat” Thor won’t be to the liking of some gamers, feeling he should be as muscular and combat-ready as Kratos.

God of War 2018 has a lot of great elements to play, including a compelling story and compelling gameplay system. But it’s the meticulous and honest attention to detail in recreating ancient Norse mythology as best as possible that elevates the whole experience to the next level.

This is why it’s no surprise why Santa Monica Studio chose to go the creative route they took for Thor’s appearance in God of War: Ragnarok. The way Chris Hemsworth performed as Thor is wonderful in its own way. He’s physically perfect, extremely handsome, and has a likable personality, but he’s by no means Thor from ancient Norse mythology, nor would he fit into the world that was created by Santa Monica Studio. establish.

While Thor in the Marvel universe retains Thor’s usual arrogant and ferocious nature, the version of Thor in God of War: Ragnarok is expected to be much more intense and terrifying. Simply put, Thor is not an easy man for Kratos to defeat. Thor is a constant fighter, enjoying victory over his enemies and often bragging about it in front of them. A true Viking, he also engages in heavy drinking and food consumption, becoming completely gluttonous and giddy at every opportunity. Because of this, he doesn’t care how handsome he can be, and has lost a lot of weight and now leaves behind a large amount of facial hair.

God of War: Ragnarok will release in 2022 for PS4 and PS5.
