The point being made is that compared to previous seasons he wasn't exactly in the usual peak superhero shape. Now this isn't only Brenton actually. I think the industry as a whole is getting a little relaxed in the body shape department (a good thing). Rob Pattinson also got some flak for his physique in The Batman as well, even Director had called him out on it. But I'm glad he stood his ground. The guy who also played Namor in Black Panther was also not as ripped as others.
Honestly, I'm glad that they are moving on from these ridiculous standards for superhero body shapes. We need more diversity in this area and I'm actually glad that Brenton wasn't pressured to "get ripped" in order to continue playing the role.
My only disappointment is that we didn't get to his current ass with the weight gain. If you have been watching Titans lately it's bigger than ever lol. It sticks out in every scene.
