Thor and the Theology of Killing God(s)
In this episode, we’re joined by PopCultureRabbi to delve into the theological themes presented in Thor: Love & Thunder. We’ll examine the character Gorr, whose grief and anger toward the gods for his suffering make him a complex and compelling antagonist. Is it possible to consider a deity as benevolent when pain and loss are part of their creation? This question brings us to the concept of theodicy, the vindication of divine goodness in the face of the existence of evil.
