** Its noted that the Gods who actually deserve to face his wrath hole up in Omnipotent City where he can't reach them, whereas those who dare remain at large are probably the genuinely dutiful ones who don't.

* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:His death is portrayed very sympathetically. As he lays dying in the arms of his revived daughter, he pleads with Thor to protect her before looking at his daughter one last time and expiring]].

* TheBadGuyWins: PlayedWith. [[spoiler:Gorr's plan to access Eternity succeeds despite Thor and Jane's best efforts. However, by then he has lost his God Butcher powers because the Necrosword is wrecked, and he witnesses Thor and Jane's love courtesy of Thor staying by a mortally weakened Jane, making him realize that he merely wanted his daughter back instead of killing all gods. Therefore, while the God Butcher succeeded in what he set out to do, by that point ''he's not the God Butcher anymore, he's simply Gorr the grieving father''.]]

* BigBad: Gorr the God Butcher is the primary antagonist of ''Film/ThorLoveAndThunder''. An alien being who despises all gods for their hubris and apathy towards mortals due to [[TragicVillain his family's death]], and seeks to butcher the lot of them using his [[BlackSwordsAreBetter pitch-black]], [[ImmortalBreaker deity-slaying]] blade, the Necrosword. To this end, [[spoiler:he captures Asgardian children to force Thor to give up his ax so it can let him reach the godlike Eternity, a being who he can convince to do the task]].

* BrokenPedestal: This trope plays a big role in Gorr's origin: In the beginning of the movie [[spoiler:a desperate and suffering Gorr meets his god shortly after his daughter died. He expected help and a reward for his worship, but instead gets mocked by his god as the latter sees [[PunyHumans mortals as pieces of crap]] who only exist to worship gods. This leads to Gorr killing him and vowing to kill all gods.]]

** Gorr also serves as one to Thanos, who are both alien warriors weilding infamous weapons and are the only survivors of their people; in terms of goals, both perform a concentrated killing spree, but whilst Thanos aims to wipe out half of life from each species completely at random, Gorr seeks to eliminate the entire god species. Whilst Thanos is fairly brightly-coloured via his pink skin and golden armour, Gorr is defined by black and white colors. Even their interactions with gods differ, as whilst Thanos seeks them as simply enemies or pawns, it's his burning hatred for them that drives Gorr on. [[spoiler: And perhaps most notably, whilst Thanos sacrificed his daughter Gamora for the Soul Stone in spite of his love for her, never bending on his semi-exinction goals, Gorr forsakes his chance for revenge against the gods and remembers his love for his daughter, resurrecting her instead with Eternity's power.]]

* CynicismCatalyst: His own experience with his own god, Rapu, who was cruel and callous to the core, is responsible for his belief that all gods are evil entities that needs to be vanquished.

* TheDogBitesBack: After his god gives him a thorough kicking while he’s down, Gorr takes up the Necrosword, slays his god, and pledges to kill all gods in the universe.

* EvilTeacher: Has some shades of this in regards to how he speaks to the kidnapped Asgardian children. Although he mostly just scares them for his own amusement, he also does seem to want them to internalise ''why'' all gods are bad.

* FaithHeelTurn: He was a devout follower of his religion until he realized exactly what his god thought of him. His anger made him an ideal recipient of the Necrosword and so he turned his righteous indignation toward his own god to all gods.

* IJustWantToBeLoved: For all the hatred that drives him, in his heart of hearts, Gorr is still a grieving father who would do anything to have his beloved daughter back. [[spoiler:Thor realizing this allows him to convince Gorr to wish for Eternity to resurrect his daughter, rather than wiping out all gods as he'd originally planned.]]

* {{Irony}}: Gorr despises all gods, [[spoiler:yet his master plan involves seeking out the omnipotent Eternity, and upon reaching the all-powerful being, he kneels before it as one would before a god. Doubly so as his last moments were spend in ''love'' for his resurrected daughter, who ''herself'' has become a God.]]
* JerkassGod: Believes this to be the case for roughly every deity. Because almost all gods are jackasses, Gorr decides to enact a FinalSolution on them.

* KillTheGod: As his sobriquet suggests, Gorr aims to kill all gods regardless of whether they're good or evil. He has racked up quite a hefty divine body count, with Thor and Korg discovering the corpse of Falligar the Behemoth, one of Gorr's victims, and Gorr's Shadow Monsters are shown launching an attack on New Asgard to slaughter the Asgardians.

* NearVillainVictory: Played with; [[spoiler:Gorr's efforts to reach Eternity ''succeed'', and Thor even acknowledges that he's won, but Gorr, freed from the Necrosword's corruption and moved by Thor's argument that what Gorr ''really'' wants is love, decides to, rather than ask Eternity to wipe out all gods, ask the omnipotent being to resurrect his daughter instead. In the end, Gorr ''did'' win, but in victory, he was no longer a villain.]]

* ArtifactOfDoom: The Necrosword is a cursed divine weapon said to have been forged at the dawn of time and passed down from wielder to wielder, corrupting them into deicidal dark gods. Even a mere mortal like Gorr is granted power to rival -- if not surpass -- that of Thor. It also appears to have a will of its own, having "chosen" Gorr. It also physically corrupts and destroys him, such that he dies once it's destroyed, and mentally corrupts him as well, driving him to kill all gods, regardless, not just the JerkassGods that mocked his daughter's pointless, drawn-out death.

Spelling correction.


* HeWhoFightsMonsters: While going on a deicidal campaign isn't really the most heroic thing to do, Gorr was movivated by a belief that all the Gods were responsible for the death and suffering of many, [[spoiler:including his daughter]], he was still motivated by a belief that he was freeing the universe from uncaring Gods. Somewhere along the way, the corruption of the Necrosword twisted his mind so that anything was justified in his quest to kill all the Gods, including [[spoiler:kidnapping innocent children just as bait to lure Thor to him]].
