The Ori gain additional power from their followers' belief, and showing those followers the truth offers a way to remove that support. This suggests a comparison with the Chaos gods in Warhammer 40,000. A viewer objects that removing belief does not itself harm the Chaos gods: war, scheming, illness, and excess feed them. That correction is accepted, while the broader comparison remains. The analogy concerns power drawn from mortal activity, with different mechanisms in the two settings.
