Thor and the Theology of Killing God(s)
PopCultureRabbi joins me to discuss the theology of Thor: Love & Thunder. What makes Gorr so relatable? Can a God who allows suffering be called good? What is theodicy, and how does this movie approach that question? No religion or theological background necessary to enjoy our discussion! My guest is Pop Culture Rabbi, who talks about Marvel, Star Wars, comics and pop culture on TikTok. You can also find him at nerdinitiative.com where he contributes articles, and pop culture rabbi on Twitter and Instagram.
