If Gorr was successful and got his wish, would it destroy the universe? Go to http://avast.com to check out Avast One.
In Thor Love and Thunder, Gorr had one mission: kill all the gods.

In this episode of Big Question, MT and Off-Screen Producer Brandon explore what a Gorr victory would look like in the MCU, and whether or not a universe without gods could even exist.
