In defence of God of War's Thor
Last night, during Sony’s PlayStation Showcase event, we got the debut trailer for the new God of War game – and super cool it looks too.
But after God of War Ragnarok was fully unveiled, we got what was for me an even more interesting reveal: our first look at the game’s version of Thor, the Norse god of Thunder.

God of War art director Raf Grassetti tweeted a picture of God of War’s Thor, who is played by Ryan Hurst, and it has since gone viral. The tweet has at the time of publication over 75,000 likes. It’s trending.

Why? Because God of War’s Thor does not look like the Thor popularised by the Marvel Cinematic Universe. He is not made of muscles, with beautiful blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. God of War’s Thor is a big boy. He is fat.
