This take actually makes sense because based on how they built Thor up in the first game it reflects on his slothful and hedonistic nature to party hard and not give two shits about anyone else but he also has the strength and the malice to back it up

@@xXSamir44Xx that’s because depiction of strength through out western art has this very idealized body image. If anyone look up the strongest people in the world at those strongman contest, you can see that they aren’t shaped like that. If we were to ask ancient Nordic to physically describe how they think Thor and the Gods would look like, it wouldn’t be unusual for them to depict them as big and chunk as it was well regarded even for most of history that weight relate to wealth and status.

There are myths that mention Thor's insane appetite that even other gods are surprised at, and he is also commonly accepted to be the physically strongest of all the gods. Strongmen are known for eating loads to build muscle with, and for being... Well.... Strong, the strongest among people in fact. It makes perfect sense for him to be built the way he is in GoW.

In several contemporary places, Tor is referred to as a redhead. The sources of the red hair are most often the Saga of the Floa people, the Saga of Olav Trygvasson, the Flatøy book and Eirik Raude's saga. However, these were written in the 13th century, well after the Christianization of Iceland. Thor was the symbol of the pagan faith against Christianity, and in all of the stories above, Thor was an opponent of the Christians. In this way, it may seem as if the red hair was a deliberate Christian addition. According to medieval paintings, Judas was red-haired. Thor's role was particularly clear in The Saga of the Floa People. There Thorgils called Tor with the hammer for the devil, so it may indicate that the hair color was deliberately chosen to emphasize this
