Funny, it doesn't feel like a curse, it feels like a promise. So this is my vow. All gods will die.
~ Gorr the God Butcher claiming the Necrosword and vowing to kill all gods in the universe.
I know your pain. Love... is pain. I had a daughter once. I put my faith in a higher power... hoping it would save her... and she died. Now, I understand. My daughter is the lucky one. She does not have to grow up in a world of suffering... and pain... run by wicked gods. Choose the love. Call the axe.
~ Gorr the God Butcher.

Gorr the God Butcher is the main antagonist of the 2022 Marvel Cinematic Universe superhero film Thor: Love and Thunder, the fourth installment of the Thor film series.

He was once a devout follower of his religion, but following the devastation of his planet and the death of his daughter Love and realizing too late that Rapu (the god they had worshiped) didn't care about them at all and just demanded their respect, he believed that all gods are evil and began a genocidal crusade, allowing himself to be corrupted by the Necrosword. By 2024, Gorr finds out about the powers of Eternity, so he sets himself in reaching the entity's place to wish for the extinction of all god-like beings, putting him at odds with Thor Odinson and Jane Foster/The Mighty Thor.

He was portrayed by Christian Bale, who also provided the voice of Gordon Freeman from Half-life American Psycho.

His Evil Ranking[]

What Makes Him Heinous?[]

  • Started a killing spree against all gods while seeking Eternity in order to grant his wish to kill them all. While some gods, such as Zeus, are openly immoral, this doesn't justify the prejudicial killing of all of them, as some gods like Falligar the Behemoth and Arishem the Judge are benevolent and just want what's best for the cosmos. Although the MCU's Heinous Standard is insanely high, he stands out enough for killing each planet's gods out of his own delusional prejudice leaving them undefended from different threats, with the narrative acknowledging that the entire universe would be plunged into chaos if all gods are wiped out. Plus, his antitheistic crusade is a unique crime in the MCU.
    • Killed the Indigarrian gods, indirectly allowing Habooska the Horrible to attack Indigarr.
    • Cuts off Lady Sif's arm after she tries to prevent him from killing Falligar the Behemoth and leaving her for dead, demonstrating that he is willing to hurt non-gods on his crusade if they get on his way.
  • Attacks New Asgard and kidnaps all the children living there, including those of the tourists visiting the area, to provoke Thor Odinson and Jane Foster, who had become the Mighty Thor recently, into going after him.
  • Scares the children he kidnapped out of sadism by ripping one of his Black Berserkers’ heads, showing that he doesn't care for his own soldiers.
  • Attacks Thor, Jane and Valkyrie with his Shadow Monsters, gravely injuring Valkyrie.
  • Makes his way into Eternity's realm to wish for all gods to die, even though several of them had nothing to do with Rapu's actions.
  • His actions indirectly led to the Mighty Thor's death, as she opted to not stay on Earth for more chemotherapies so she could save the children Gorr had kidnapped, leaving Thor heartbroken from losing yet another loved one.

What Makes Him Inconsistent?[]

  • To say that he is too tragic would be an understatement: Gorr is played extremely sympathetically due to losing his beloved daughter thanks to Rapu's neglect, leading him to kill Rapu in self-defense and kill many gods under the belief that they are all bad. Though Thor is an example of how not all gods are cruel and selfish, Omnipotence City is filled with many immoral gods like Zeus, which proves that Gorr was partially right in that many others are just that and his actions, however prejudicial and antitheistic as they may be, are still understandable, making him a well-intentioned extremist.
  • He loves his daughter Love as her death, alongside those of his people, was what motivated him to kill all gods after Rapu expressed a lack of care for the deaths of his worshipers. After Thor talked him down, he ultimately uses his only wish for Eternity not to exterminate all gods, but instead to bring his daughter back to life, showing that he still cared for her.
  • The Necrosword is stated to influence and corrupt its wielder, as shown when it provoked Gorr into beginning an antitheistic rampage by saving his life from Rapu's strangulation in return, giving him moral agency issues.
  • His death is played for sympathy. He acknowledges that Thor was an honorable god for talking him out of killing all of the gods after realizing that not all gods are bad and asks him at Jane Foster's behest to take care of Love after she is brought back to life, ultimately redeeming himself in the process. Later, he happily reunited with his daughter before ultimately fading away from the Necrosword’s curse, which makes him a scapegoat because instead of being freed from the Necrosword’s influence, Gorr had to be killed in the end.
