Yea but also there's no reason for Superman or Thor to be tall and muscular. They're not strong because of their body.
Even with the lore explanations, I think it just helps maintain suspension of disbelief when you visually see someone muscular doing impossible feats of strength rather than someone physically unfit. But to your point, I would like to see more super heroes with strongman barrel physics instead of the aesthetic prioritizing body builder physique.
I think Spiderman is a decent example of not being comically ripped but I always believe he's as strong as he's depicted due to his powers.
Spiderman is still super fit. He's lean muscle and not bulky body builder fit, but he still has muscle. Even in the comics his muscles are very well defined.
Yeah.
Nolan had right idea with Bane. Tom Hardy looked like he could fight wolves.
Well, lore-wise earths sun literally makes Superman muscular
Well, I don’t know about Thor (but he is a god short of and from an advanced culture ), but Superman received perfect nutrition from our Sun.
There is that alt timeline story of Superman where he didn’t see the Sun and was captured when he landed as a baby.
He grew up to be skinny and had severe malnutrition, was still tall and became strong as soon as he saw the sun the first time.
