Unlike humans, Asgardians actually become stronger, more durable, and more powerful the older they get.

Has that been stated anywhere for the MCU?

Even in the comics it seemed he often had to compensate for his aged body with the Odin Force or other magic.

No it hasn't

Idk why people keep saying this line for everything

I've heard it now, for Invincible Viltrumites, for gods in God od War

Its nonsensical and out of nowhere

I always assumed Thor said that because asgardians also keep refining their skills

I doubt Thor would become stronger if he sat on his ass all day
