I don't think they did though. It was clear that Thor was going through some deep depression and dealt with it with excessive partying and overeating.

Which would be all well and good if they did anything compelling with it. But they don't. We get:

Fat jokes right out the gate
Fortnite jokes
A potentially compelling bit with his mother that caps off with more fat jokes
A fanservicey fallback to the hammer, which we JUST had a movie painstakingly explaining that he didnt need
Thor reniging on his responsibility to his people, jokingly pawning everything on valkyrie, and going to make more fat jokes and measure dicks with star lord

I get they wanted a coping-with-depression angle, thats obvious, but they do it so poorly. We get exactly TWO scenes that even touch on that angle: him "going for the head," and flipping his shit when someone says thanos' name at the start. That's it. He does not grow, change, Express anything relating to the issue, or anything even once after that. It so blatantly comes off as an excuse to get him into space to quip with the guardians. A focus tested writing decision because people liked it in infinity war.

Ffs, as far as his arc is now, ragnarok and infinity war may as well have not even happened, for all they mattered for him. Asgard is on earth now, and there's less of them. Not like they mattered much to start. Whoop de doo.
