I read J. Michael Straczynski's negative tweet regarding Lebowski Thor this morning.
Hemsworth is amazing and highly talented, he can play anything. I just rather wish that they had kept the character as Thor rather than -- apparently for lack of knowing how to handle him without being corny -- using him for comic relief and finally turning him into Volstagg.
But I thought I remembered him doing the exact same thing to Balder the Brave. But no, it was the great Walt Simonson who gave us an overweight Balder who lay down his sword while suffering from PTSD.

I always felt that Odin (as portrayed in the comics) was a little on the heavy side as well. Either way, this is the coolest Thor has looked since the first act in Ragnarok.

I'm sorry, that specific armor looks better on Fat Thor. Not just the long hair and beard but the shoulder area too. He looks a little like Odin.I always felt that Odin (as portrayed in the comics) was a little on the heavy side as well.

Frigga allows him to be vulnerable in a way that he can’t with anyone else.
Agreed. I'd say he looks a lot like Odin there.I'm sorry, that specific armor looks better on Fat Thor. Not just the long hair and beard but the shoulder area too. He looks a little like Odin.
Just saw the film again. I'll admit that I've warmed up a little bit to this new Thor.
But for the life of me, I still can't figure out on what his contribution was towards defeating Thanos.
Iron Man- Sacrificed his life to remove Thanos and his armies from existence.
Captain America- He was pretty much the glue that kept the group together and essentially led them to victory.
Black Widow- She gave up her life in order to obtain the Soul Stone.
Hawkeye- He assisted Widow in getting the stone (since he helped her fulfill the something you love most must be sacrificed requirement) and he kept the gauntlet out of the clutches of Thanos's minions at the start of his attack on Avengers base.
Hulk- He essentially sacrificed his arm in order to undo the snap.
Off the top of my head, the only thing that I can think of was Thor bringing back his old hammer into the main timeline. But aside from that, I still could not figure out on what contribution he made towards defeating Thanos like everyone else from the original six.
(Sigh)
You don't see it because you don't want to. Cuz what anyone else can see is he actually traded blows with Thanos more than any other character in the movie.

In Praise of Thor, the Classic Mama's Boy
Truly an article worth reading regarding Thor’s meeting with Frigga. Insightful and beautiful analysis. Here’s a passage regarding Thor...
I get that some folks are upset that Odinson was Thanos' punching bag. But this is a guy not in peak form absorbing a body stomp, an axe to the chest, and multiple full-force punches to the face from a nigh indestructible space god. The same guy that KO'd the frikkin' Hulk last year in record time. And Lebowski Thor gets back up a few minutes later to stand toe to toe with an army of Avengers.
The only thing tougher than Mjolnir and Stormbreaker is Thor's jaw.
Well, I think Thor was the only one who knew how to get the reality stone, so there's that.
Basically for the two BIGGEST films in the MCU Thor's power was durability. We're talking the God of Thunder here. More was expected.
