We can all agree that this were two of the biggest bad spots in Endgame. If you could remove or rewrite one. which one would it be and why?
For me it's fat thor. I can deal with bad time travel as time travel is always messy but Fat Thor is too much of a blow to the character.

Probably Fat Thor. It is admittedly a bit cliche and the whole joke lingered on for a bit too long, whereas the time travelling I thought brought something interesting with the alteration of the rules.

As time travel is such a tired plot device, I have gotten used it too. I had yet to get comfortable with the drastic change of Thor in the last thor movie , fat thor was too much for a bomb thrown in our faces.

It did bring me some genuine laughs at times. |

Neither because they were both very well done.

Thor was a serious no nonsense god of thunder, becoming a joke is way too much.

I didn't notice anything with the Time Travel but that stuff is all beyond me.
Fat Thor though was disappointing because it felt like Infinity War (and Ragnarok) did a good job of powering him up and making him the strongest Avenger.
Then Endgame seemed to bring him down just for laughs.

No, we don't all agree. In fact the vast majority of comic book movie fans totally disagree with most of what you say. Deal with it.

I had no issues with the time travel aspect other than maybe Nebula's weird telepathic link with herself and Cap's ability to age in the same timeline as them. But other than that it wasn't any worse than any other time travel movie I've seen.
Fat Thor was handled sloppily though. That could have been handled way better, and in the long run I believe it actually harmed the development of the character.

I wonder who brought up the concept of Fat Thor in particular? Strange way to take the character.

I was expecting some time travel elements in Endgame but wasn't expecting the Russo bro's / Feige to turn Thor into a pathetic /cringeworthy joke. So yeah fat Thor was horrible and so stupid. Could have done without that.
Also, I'll add another big disappoint with Endgame....Hulk. Totally neutered and turned into pretty much a big green pussy.

Fat Thor if I had to pick one to scrap, I don't mind Fat Thor myself though I think they went too far with him, but I honestly think we would have had the same issue if they had gone the original route I heard they wanted to go and made him skinny as fuck, for being fat was a symptom of the issue not the cause, they just didn't treat the character with enough reverence unlike most of the other OG Avengers, this maybe because Hemsworth encouraged the comedy as I think he was the one who wanted to make Thor fat, but he's also the only one sticking around, hence why he maybe didn't get the same treatment as Cap & Tony, if he were done at this point he would have likely had a big send off and tragic hero moment people would have loved, but Thor's sticking around so they probably felt it's ok not to build him up in this movie, but oh well.
Also Summer's get it through your thick head your opinion is not law, other people have dissenting ones to your own, DEAL WITH IT you arrogant shit shovelling bareback buggered baboon.

Fat Thor was such a disappointment. Thor was the least popular of the main three and Infinity War did a good job of bolstering him only to bring him right back down by turning him into a gag.
They already dramatically changed Hulk too and made him comedic so they didn't need to mess with Thor as well.

Fat Thor was excellent. There’s this idea that it was a joke, but it’s actually a very deep insightful portrayal of how broken this guy is. I think it’s a gross misunderstanding to treat it like it was inappropriate character choice. I think it’s brilliant.

I would have removed Fat Thor to remove the excessive joke. Then add in Howard the Duck, Christopher Nolan would be proud
