ISFP 4w5 Characters

It’s a shame that MCU villains are so under-developed, because Gorr is one of the most fascinating ones thus-far, a man entirely motivated by his hatred. Gorr started out devoted to the gods and convinced they would take mercy on their people and save them from destruction; but when the gods didn’t care about the death of his entire civilization and his daughter, he turned on them and wants to kill them all in vengeance. His own emotional experience has shaped his view on them, so much so he cannot see any other possibilities (that not all the gods are the same). This lack of nuance leads him to conspire to slaughter them en masse, with no thought for how this might affect the universe in a negative way, because it’s all about him and his hatred. He’s so wrapped up in himself, he cannot even connect to the children he has kidnapped and winds up scaring them rather than convincing them to share his point of view. He envisions a world without the gods in it, freed from their selfish motivations, and attacks, confronts, and kills every god he finds, laying traps for them (such as kidnapping all the children, knowing from Thor’s history that it will bring him to rescue them). In this way, he shows a lot of present-actions (impulsive attacks and counter-attacks, engaging them in physical combat, and collapsing into shadows) but also a narrow vision for his future. Gorr fails to show any rational thinking in his strategies, because he has no way to figure out the impact his slaughter will have on the universe; he assumes it must be a good outcome, because it fits what he feels, rather than being objective enough to know that civilizations need their gods to create structure.  

Enneagram: 4w5

Gorr is acting out of his own hatred and selfishness; he doesn’t think about anyone else’s relationship to their gods, only his own—and he’s so angry about how they have treated him, he wants them all to die. He is allowing the loss of his child, and his subsequent brokenness at finding out everything he put his faith in is a lie, to define him and turn him into a destructive force, rather than allowing himself to heal, move on from his loss, or believe another life exists for him, freed of his previous beliefs (one that involves happiness and not dying for his cause). He’s convinced that his way is the right way, and refuses to listen to anyone else who tries to convince him to broaden his thinking, which fits the narrative of a rejection type who is pushing away from people and only listening to whatever validates their inner experience.
