As the God of Thunder, Thor has faced many incredibly powerful villains across the Marvel Universe. Although some are more earthbound in nature, several of these enemies had the strength and ability to quell even a god. The most notable example of these foes was Gorr the God Butcher, one of Thor’s deadliest opponents.His importance in one of the comics’ best modern Thor storylines made many eager to see him adapted to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Sadly, said treatment of the villain in Thor: Love and Thunder was somewhat disappointing, although it was still arguably one of the best parts of the film. Still, from his motivations to his power levels, Gorr as originally seen in Marvel Comics was a far bigger threat than his movie counterpart turned out to be.One of the biggest complaints about Gorr in Thor: Love and Thunder was that, despite his reputation as a God Butcher, he’s only shown killing one god. This made his threat level next to non-existent, despite the movie treating him as a serial killer of the divine. In the comics, Gorr actually does score quite a body count, using the power of his Necrosword to slaughter the gods he hunts. The motivation between the two versions are similar, with both suffering a life of tragedy before turning their backs on the gods. In the case of the comics, however, the hatred feels more earned, as Gorr had literally been shunned by his people after he gave up his faith following eons of turmoil.RELATED: Thor Brought Back His Most Iconic Look – And Why It MattersRELATED: CBR EXCLUSIVE: Al Ewing Just Revealed Loki’s Role in Immortal Thor
