Steve in every other movie : family, stability; the guy who wanted all that went into the ice 75 years ago, even if I had nothing I had bucky, I’m with you till the end of the line, I’M HOME
russos with their tiny brains really thought we’d get with them and laugh at fat thor. fools. absolute buffoons. we love and cherish fat thor in this and every house. strong arms and squishy tummy? optimal hugging body. oh russos you really played yourself this time.
WOW, the fact that the Russo brothers HATE how taika watiti developed thor’s character in ragnarok really really fucking jumps out in avengers 4!!!
in ragnarok, taika:
cut Thor’s hair
took away his hammer, signifying that Thor was indeed a character beyond the hammer
took out his eye, signifying that Thor was powerful beyond his physical attributes and ready to take on the responsibility as king
put Thor as the underdog in the situation, reminding the audience that Thor is clever and intelligent, not only optimistic and cheerful, and purely brawn
had him meet Valkyrie and earn her loyalty, showing him as a leader ready to right the wrongs of Asgard’s past and encourage his people to a better path
developed his relationship with Loki, reminding the audience that they were still brothers and Thor had great capacity for forgiveness, but wasn’t stupid enough to blindly trust Loki
destroyed Asgard, showing that Thor is ready to take, make, and recover from the big sacrifices and do whatever it takes to keep, care, and protect his people
