In the 2022 film *Thor: Love and Thunder*, several key characters meet their end, though some deaths are temporary or lead to an afterlife sequence. Below are the specific details of who dies and the circumstances of their deaths:
### 1. Love (Gorr’s Daughter)
* **How she dies:** At the very beginning of the film, Love dies in a desert-like wasteland from starvation and dehydration. Despite Gorr’s desperate prayers to his god, Rapu, no help comes.
* **Outcome:** At the end of the film, Gorr reaches Eternity and uses his one wish to bring her back to life. She is resurrected and subsequently "adopted" by Thor.
### 2. Rapu (The Bringer of Light)
* **How he dies:** After his daughter's death, Gorr stumbles into a lush oasis where Rapu is celebrating. When Gorr asks for his "promised reward" for his lifetime of devotion, Rapu mocks his suffering and tells him there is no afterlife or reward. The Necrosword, a god-killing weapon, then chooses Gorr. In a fit of rage and grief, Gorr uses the sword to **stab and decapitate** Rapu, making him the first victim of the "God Butcher."
### 3. Falligar the Behemoth
* **How he dies:** Falligar is a massive, peaceful god of the Frontier Worlds and an acquaintance of Thor. He is killed off-screen by Gorr. Thor, Korg, and Toothgnasher later find his massive corpse lying in the snow, a scene pulled directly from the *Thor: God of Thunder* comics.
### 4. Jane Foster (The Mighty Thor)
* **How he dies:** Jane suffers from **Stage 4 terminal cancer**. When she begins wielding the reforged Mjölnir, it grants her the powers of Thor and temporarily masks her symptoms. However, Thor later learns that every time she transforms, the hammer saps her remaining life force and prevents her body from fighting the cancer.
* **The Final Act:** Despite being told that one more transformation will kill her, Jane chooses to pick up the hammer to save Thor from Gorr. She uses Mjölnir to help destroy the Necrosword, but the effort drains the last of her energy. She dies peacefully in Thor’s arms, her body dissolving into golden stardust.
* **Outcome:** The post-credits scene confirms she died a warrior's death and was welcomed into **Valhalla** by Heimdall.
### 5. Gorr the God Butcher
* **How he dies:** Throughout the film, the Necrosword acts as a parasite, corrupting Gorr's mind and physically destroying his body. By the time he reaches the center of the universe (Eternity), he is already near death. After Jane destroys the Necrosword, Gorr is left powerless and dying from the weapon's long-term corruption.
* **The Final Act:** Influenced by Thor and Jane’s compassion, he chooses to wish for his daughter’s resurrection rather than the death of all gods. He dies immediately after seeing his daughter returned to life, seemingly at peace.
### Notable "Fake-Out" Deaths:
* **Zeus:** Thor impales Zeus through the chest with his own Thunderbolt. While he is presumed dead for the majority of the film, the mid-credits scene reveals he **survived** the wound, though he is recovering and seeking revenge.
* **Korg:** During the fight in Omnipotence City, Zeus blasts Korg’s body into rubble. However, it is revealed that Kronans can survive as long as their mouths/faces remain intact. Korg survives as a talking head and eventually grows a new body.
