Thor is too disconnected from the rest of the MCU

And he’s too arrogant, its why stark wasn’t the leader of the avengers. Strange is not only the most connected person on earth in the mcu but he’s connected to characters outside of the MCU. It’s also why he was part of the Illuminati

Strange's intellect and powers are more conducive to being a leader than Thor

With that said they could have displayed Thor being depressed and downtrodden in other ways than being a fat alcoholic. But whatever


He's the King of Asgard. He should be a NATURAL leader. :hhh:


Yall telling me that Odin failed his only true born son? :francis:

Feige made the King of Asgard a joke.:snoop:

Thor was always my favorite Avenger. Lowkey the MCU did (is doing) him dirty.

Strange is a great character, so I’m glad he’s going to be the face moving forward:manny:

plus the visuals and his abilities translate really well on screen

The reason this is coming up today is because I just saw this post on IG saying that there's been some talk of Dr Strange becoming the New face of the MCU going fwd.



Dude then says he wishes it was Thor. And I got to thinking like :jbhmm: it really should be Thor.


Obviously they were gonna have the new face be Tchalla initially but it just wasn't to be (RIP Chad).

But if they are looking for a new face, why not Thor?

Then I thought about it. Oh yeah that's right, can't do that cause they made him an obese buffoon in Endgame:hhh:

Then I started thinking more... what was even the point of that?:mjtf: What did him being fat actually do for the movie? :what:

Just more meaningless Marvel jokes and silliness for no reason huh @Bryan Danielson :unimpressed:


Thor is public domain

He was never going to be a the face

Him being fat was PTSD from dealing with Thanos

From a story perspective, Fat Thor was a thing because we know Thor came in with Stormbreaker and gave Thanos that work.

It wouldn't make sense for there to be a final battle if Thor was regular. He would just do it again but just go for the head.
