New Image of Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman in ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’

I think it even works with why he'd go with such loud colors after wearing the greys and blacks for so long.

I'm not gonna generalize, but at least for me, after my father died when I was young and then a lot of family shit afterwards, depression keeps a tight hold on you for a long time, but then when you finally start getting your confidence back, mainly your self-WORTH, you tend to overcompensate a little bit, especially with your looks. New hairstyle, experimenting with makeup, more and more going out of your comfort zone, especially with loud, colorful clothes.

If I were to guess, I hope that that's what Thor goes through with his character arc here. Spinning the 'Worthy' into 'Self-Worth' and coming into your own after dealing with so much trauma and depression and seeing you were strong enough to get through that when it was the hardest. Forgetting the 'Worthy' Standard your family set for YOU (Odin with his enchantment) and just doing your best to figure out what your Self-Worth is. Not a prince, king or hero, just a person.
