MCU’s Gorr Concept Art Is So Much Cooler Than What We Got
Gorr Could Have Been A Much More Visually Terrifying Villain
InThor : Love and Thunder , Gorr was born on an unnamed satellite and idolize the god Rapu . Gorr would pray to Rapu perpetually , but the god never answer his prayers and the mass of Gorr ’s major planet died from the estrus and lack of food and water . Gorr and his girl , Love , were the last survivor of the planet , with Gorr pleading to Rapu to bring home the bacon them with food and weewee so they could live on . Unfortunately , Love passed away in Gorr ’s arms , and as he awaited his death and mourned for Love , he derive across Rapu , but the god did n’t deal about him or what hap to his the great unwashed .
Rapu was celebrating that he now had the Necrosword , but he grabbed Gorr by the pharynx after the latter told him he did n’t deserve to be worshiped . However , the Necrosword pick out Gorr , think of that he would also be cursed by it , but Gorr used it to kill Rapu and vowed to obliterate all gods . The Necrosword physically changed Gorr , with his eyes becoming yellowed , his tegument turning grey , and his tooth change by reversal black as well as his spittle . While this was a more magisterial look than before he held the Necrosword , Gorr ’s original concept nontextual matter was a lot good .
At one head , Love and Thundercould have had a more comic book - accurate yet still different Gorr , as let out in concept art .

It ’s not uncommon for the MCU ’s part , specially the villains , to not calculate like their comic book counterparts , and that ’s somewhat expected , as they ask to look realistic to a degree .

At one item , Love and Thundercould have had a more comic book - accurate yet still dissimilar Gorr , as revealed in concept art ( via Jerad S. Marantz onArt Station ) that showsa more terrifying Gor with the “ tentacles ” in his head word , a black cape that seemed to have life of its own as there ’s movement in its dissimilar portion , andhis body cover in calamitous patches , well showing how the Necrosword necessitate over him .
