Apparently Thor's fat suit is considered 'fat shaming' by some:

Quote:
For myself and other theatergoers who are, or have been, fat, it's reminiscent of times when well-meaning family members suggested, without solicitation, diet changes. There's an implicit message in these sorts of statements that the solution to a perceived weight problem is simple and, regardless of how someone feels about themselves, they must change. Although it's certainly a motherly thing to say, Frigga's choice of words casts Thor's weight as aberrant, which undermines the supportive and empowering tone she's trying to take.

The second interaction comes toward the end of the film. Thor volunteers to use the Infinity Gauntlet to reverse the snap, and his friends -- knowing it might prove deadly -- talk him out doing so. The god of thunder asks if they know what flows through his veins. Rhodey responds, "Cheez Whiz?"
