The controversial design of God of War Ragnarok defended by the Powerlifter champion

Last week, PlayStation finally unveiled Dios the Ragnarok war to PS4 and PS5, giving fans of PlayStation their first look at Kratos, Atreus and other characters in the sequel, including Thor, a god wielding a hammer associated with ray, strength, protection of humanity and fertility, it is not. in the first game, but it mocks. If you have not seen the version of the game Thor, he does not look anything like the Marvel Thor or other popular representations of the character. Dios war in Ragnarok Thor has red hair and hairy and large protruding stomach. If you know the myths of Thos, you know that this is not an unusual representation and is also probably more representative of the Viking culture that someone like Chris Hemsworth. That said, the design has faced a backlash, and many claim that is not representative of Thor. There is no basis for this claim, but that has not stopped to do the rounds.

To this end, Darren McCormack, a three-time British champion weightlifting having two world records in the sport, has rejected the criticism, explaining why they are accurate in the process.

Like it or not, Dios of Thor guerras is the top male performance , McCormack said talking to the sixth axis. Why do I say that? As a strength athlete, a correlation between the volume and strength. In weightlifting, the most competitive classes are less than 100 kg and less than 110 kg, men lifting many times their own body weight. These are great men. 0.100 kg are 16 kilos, 110 kilos are about 18 kilos. They will not be high, will be bulky. The boys who raise larger weights will often be in the category of less than 125 kg but not all of these guys have abs, much will have a layer of lard over a strong stomach. Any old fool can have abs, yeah, I'm looking at, Mr. Hemsworth, but a powerful and big belly traps (the muscles on both sides of his neck) are the sign of a damn strong man .

McCormac continued:

If you are not convinced yet, see any recent alignment of the Strongest Man of the world. With the notable exception of Mariusz Pudzianowski, WSM competitors are brick units with powerful bellies, big guts to give them a good center of gravity. Look at this year's winner, Tom Stoltman a Dad Bod to end all Dad Bods. He is the strongest man of the planet that stood out both static events such as squats, and dynamic events such as Atlas Stones ... Would you call to Tom Stoltman fat? What about the brother of him, Luke? Or anyone else in the lineup of the strongest man the world? These men are at the peak of their physical condition, they have to be. And Thor '.

To be fair to the crowd of critics, many of the men mentioned McCormac have more definition Dios of war Ragnarok Thor does. But Thor is also a Greek god, that none of these men is, so another definition is irrelevant.

That said, as always, please click on the comments section with your thoughts or alternatively on Twitter. @Tyler fischer and let me know there. What do you think of the design of Thor in the Ragnarok Dios war?
