      Thor is a legitimate giant!

    I, only recently, found out that Thor had suffered from Bell's Palsy. This video shows it clearly. He has since fully recovered. I had a coworker that suffered from it at a much later age and never fully recovered and still has paralization on half of his face.

      The ignorance here is that America thinks they have a monopoly on people who speak their native tongue poorly. You could ask this question to a hundred people in a hundred different countries, they're all going to tell you foreigners speak their native tongue better than many locals. Much like the US, many people simply seek a working knowledge of their native tongue, they choose not to expand their vocabulary or focus intently on grammar (to that point, some US regional dialects have bad grammar built in). People seeking to study another language than their native one are more likely to take the task seriously and thus learn to speak it well which, shocker, are the people you're exposed to in videos. You know how people joke about taking 4 years of French and not being able to speak it anymore? You can find millions of people who are the same way with English. They didn't care, they did it just to pass the class in school, then they stopped using it and forgot it, but those aren't the people you see in videos speaking English as a second language.

    Thor is about 6ft9 at 440 pounds. He won 2018 Worlds Strongest Man and just crushed this year's Arnold Strongman Classic. He's undoubtedly the strongest man alive right now, perhaps ever. Gonna see if he takes that 500 kg deadlift WR from Eddie, but the suitless 474 kg elephant bar might be even more impressive.

      It's just a result of his condition, the partial face paralysis. It's kind of hard for him to make a full smile, so it comes off sarcastic. Can't help it.
