interesting enough, the depictions of thor is closer to modern than fat thor. if you look at norse paintings you can see that there is less muscle, a stomach but not much. more like say, a blue collar worker than a bodybuilder.
Look at the world champion weightlifter out of Georgia. Looks pretty chunky to me. They ARE fat. But not as fat as you think.

Fat Thor isn't fat, he just followed his mentor's advice and ate lightning. Now after a period of some hours the inevitable is ready to happen after it bounced around in his stomach.
I may have seen different strongmen, because the ones I know may have some belly, but they also have muscles, like pecs, legs & arms (cannot judge that one accurately because of the bracers). But FatThor doesn't have the legs of someone strong that is his width
I think this is what movie people call subverting expectations. You will think that fat Thor is weak, but in the game he might pwn Kratos. We will see, hopefully soon.
Thor was the god of kicking ass. Oh, and thunder. Not the god of beauty, that was Balder. Thor was known for being the strongest, feasting, quick tempered, and cleaver once he got the idea in his head that he couldn't solve his current problem with violence.
Like, once, just once, they make Thor look like how he is described in actual Norse mythology... and people go "Noooo, he should not be fat". Why? Thor *was* fat, the dude could eat a goat and a cow in one go, and did so, according to the tales. Also, even Marvel's Thor was fat at one point of time
@keroro Right? I don't know about this "fat Thor" discourse but I don't mind a strong man with some guts. But I'd be lying if I didn't appreciate a mean physique like Kratos too. It's all about the confidence really.
To me he looks like one of the huge, beefy strongmen types that show up in lifting (rather than bodybuilding) competitions. The kind that look like your fat, drunken uncle, but jebas can they lift.
