Ep 5: Thor and Heroism
Adam talks about the shocking difference between Thor as we find him when Rocket and Hulk catch up with him in New Asgard in Avengers: Endgame, where he is lazy, overweight, and depressed, and how we had seen him in all the Thor and Avengers movies before that. He discusses how this shocking difference reflects something of the shocking things the Bible has to say about what humanity is.
