Thor: Love and Thunder introduced several gods to the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While there have been gods in the franchise, when Thor headed to Omnipotence City, the number jumped dramatically. However, while the first MCU gods, the Asgardians, were protective of people, the ones in Omnipotence City shared the worst traits of many gods in mythology. These gods not only don't care about humanity but treat them like cattle.

The moment was a little low-key and played off for humor. However, when Zeus announced the ongoing godly business, he obviously didn't care for doing good things, instead veering to the darker side of human religion. Mentioning the yearly orgy was coming was a joke, but Zeus also said they had a winner for a contest for who had the "most human souls sacrificed in the name of a god." While meant to be macabre humor, it was also a subtle jab at organized religion.

Zeus Offered Horrible Rewards in Thor: Love and Thunder

The comment has a lot of basis in the dangers of fanaticism. That really played out in the movie to show that Thor is a much better god than others. While Thor showed up as a fanboy for Zeus, he quickly learned that his hero worship remained misplaced. Even a god like Odin, who was never a good guy in the same sense as a superhero, was a better man than Zeus and his worshipers in Omnipotence City. Thor wanted to save lives by stopping Gorr the God Butcher and protecting those who relied on them.

However, the biggest theme of Thor: Love and Thunder was that humanity couldn't trust most gods. When Gorr's family died, and his daughter finally succumbed to dehydration, he learned that his own god didn't care. As Rapu told Gorr, more people will show up to worship him even when Gorr dies. Thor also saw gods die at Gorr's hands, including one he called the nicest god anyone could ever meet. However, when he arrived in Omnipotence City, he discovered most gods were like Zeus and didn't care about anyone but themselves. They enjoyed their life on high and even rejoiced when people killed each other in their names.

Most Gods in the MCU Are Not Good People

One thing to note is that most gods in the MCU are not good people. The Asgardians proved pure and willing to fight to aid people in need. But Zeus was arrogant and bordered on being evil. He refused to help because he wanted to protect himself and lied to the other gods to serve his own reputation. When looking around the stadium, the gods all looked down on Thor and his companions, and it seemed none were any better than Zeus and likely had more in common with Gorr's god, making the villain seem right in his anger.

Marvel clearly showed this in Moon Knight on Disney+. There are a lot of gods on Earth, and they all remain in hiding, refusing to come out and help anyone. They didn't care about Thanos threatening to destroy Earth, and only Khonshu wanted to help and protect people from evil. Clearly, Thor is an anomaly in the world of gods, as neither the gods on Earth nor the ones in Omnipotence City care about the people who worship them.

To see Thor stand above his colleagues, Thor: Love and Thunder is streaming now on Disney+.
