So? 90% of people look like shit. Movies stars are supposed to be a cut above the average skinnyfat loser. He was supposed to portray a huge, muscular fighting machine. Instead we ended up with a fat manlet.I just couldn't take him seriously when I, an average dude who likes to lift, was bigger than freaking Bane. The crappy fight choreography didn't help either.
And I repeat he did not look like shit.

But he did. I wouldn't have minded if he was big and strong looking with some fat, like a powerlifter or an oly lifter, or a wrestler, but he barely had any muscle.
You're comparing him with average people, but average people look awful. Compare him with someone like Chirs Hemsworth and you'll see the difference.

Fat has larger volume than muscle mass per the same weight. Hardy had at least 17-20% body fat while Hemsworth was at about 8%, and he was still much bigger than Hardy. He also has at least 6 inches on him which is a lot. Especially when you factor in the square-cube law. Your average skinnyfat 6'4 dude who doesn't lift can easily weigh 200 lbs. Someone with Chris Hemsworth's physique can't be any less than 225. Like I said I'm 5'11 and 180 lbs and I look bigger than Bane did. He was no where near 200 lbs. Hell, Christian Bale was bigger than him.
All right, that's about what I thought.

Neither do you. But at least I have plenty of experience with this sort of thing.
The idea that some chubby little manlet weighs the same as an muscular guy who has 6 inches on him is laughable.

Well to be fair, care to cite your proof of Hardy's and Hemsworth's weights during their respective movies?
"The secrets of Tom Hardy’s workout for Bane haven’t come out yet, but he weighed in at over 200 lbs. during filming."

"I was filming 'The Avengers' when I got the call for 'Rush,' so I went from 215 pounds, which is how much I weigh when I'm playing Thor, down to about 185 pounds to be able to fit into the car. That was all in about four months."
Okay, I undersold his weight admittedly, but 230+? lolno
As I've always said, any difference in weight was negligible.

I said 230 because I thought he was 6'5, but I checked and it turns out he's only 6'3. But as Estacado said Hardy was not over 200 lbs. No way in hell. He would have been much bulkier at his height if he was over 200. Still, Hemsworth has 25 lbs over him which is not insignificant.
Originally posted by EstacadoYa, Nolan used camera tricks and angles to make Hardy look bigger than he is (just like Tom Cruise in all his movies).
Hardy only looked big when he had close up scenes.
Look at his fight against Batman his arms are thin as hell I bet his arms are like 17 inch or less...
Thor would rock the hell out of Bane. He tore through a base full of skilled (and armed if I remember correctly) SHIELD agents.
Not to mention him dodging and weaving Hulks attacks and countering with his own was his own skill.
Bane took out a few body guards and a crippled and old Batman well past his prime, whom he also went on to lose to after Bats punched him in the face a few times and broke his mask. That's not something Thor would struggle much to do, not that he'd need it.
This fight goes pretty handily to Thor.
If Bruce Wayne can endure what Bane can dish out, Thor surely can can as well. It all comes down to will on the parts of both, Bruce Wayne and Thor. If Thor WANTS to win, his will is most definitely at least equal to Bruce Waynes'. Although, I insist that it is stronger, given each characters backgrounds and upbringings.
