Fat Thor, also known as Bro Thor, first appeared in the 2019 blockbuster Avengers: Endgame, shocking audiences with his drastic physical transformation following the five-year time jump. Depicting a depressed, beer-drinking version of the God of Thunder, the character quickly became a viral sensation for his relatability. While initially played for laughs, the meme evolved to represent the physical and mental toll of trauma, often used to compare 'before and after' scenarios or to celebrate the 'Still Worthy' sentiment regardless of one's appearance. It gained a massive resurgence during the COVID-19 pandemic as users compared their lockdown lifestyles to Thor’s unkempt, housebound aesthetic.
