I’m in India and I just found out the etymology of the word juggernaut.

it comes from the Sanskrit jagganath, which means " lord of the world", and is the name of one of the major Hindu gods.

but what’s awesome is he’s basically their giant buff God.

so all his temples are like super squat and beefy, sort of brutalist architecture.

so the X-Men iteration is pretty close to what you can imagine the lord of the world looking like.

    not as far as I can find.

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jagannath

    He’s one of the main gods and an incarnation of the main God, so he’s kind of like one of the holy Trinity and the man guy.

    its like asking if the single christian god is a hunter.

    hunting wouldn’t be a real big deal to an omnipotent being like jagannath or christ.

    that said, Christ running through the forests, hunting ungulates with a spear animated by tartakovsky would be sick.
