Couldn't they have saved a lot of money on special effects by just getting a fat orange guy to play him? Trump seems like he'll have a lot of free time on his hands in the near future.

I'm all for body positivity, but they shouldn't mess with Thing's iconic physique like that. They should choose a character for whom being ripped isn't a central character point -- or at least a character who isn't famous enough for people to care. Make Strong Guy fat.

I hope this is just the internet blowing smoke. It seems weird that they would announce that Galactus is Latino and Thing is heavy without actors attached to either role.

Yes, he's literally chiseled. He's the Bill Goldberg of comic book superheroes. He's a big, muscular invincible Jewish guy whose abs you could strike a match on.

I'm all for having body positivity or a chubby protagonist. Mario is my favorite hero character of all time. But I wouldn't want Nintendo to make Donkey Kong fat.

He's big and muscular, yeah, but he ain't chiseled, it's all bulk like Eddie Hall.

He ain't shredded and doesn't have the physique of a god, he's just really really fucking big. If you're talking wrestlers, he's much closer to John Tenta than he is Goldberg.

Why do you keep saying these things were "announced"? You did it in the Galactus topic too.

This is all speculation, there's no announcements.

If this represents the MCU audience then I wonder what that says about the DC audience which seems more right-leaning.

Are you sure this isn't some image you built up in your head?

These definitely look more "muscle-fat." And in any case, he doesn't really have much of a physique. He's just... Big. He certainly doesn't have abs, like you suggested.

When the Kingpin says that he's 400 lb. of muscle, some of that is most certainly fat. Thing is all granite. That doesn't look "fat" to me. You're right. It is bulk, but bulk doesn't necessarily mean fat.
