- Thor adopts Gorr's daughter, teaching her how to use Stormbreaker and working together as heroes.
What Prevents Him From Being Pure Good?[]
- Though he did learn from his mistakes after being banished to Earth, he still maintains some of his arrogance and snark. He also had a jerkish moment in Endgame, where he threatens Noobmaster, telling him to log off the game or he would rip off his arms and shove them up his “butt”. After which this calls the child to cry to their father, to which Thor showed no sympathy and called him a weasel, although this is minor since the moment was for comedy.
- He has a side of brutality to him. Before leaving Sakaar, Thor throws the remote for the Obedience Disk out of Loki's range for trying to betray him, leaving him in a constant state of electrocution (although this is meant for comedic purposes). And he was extremely vengeful towards Thanos, painfully pushing Stormbreaker through his chest while sadistically reminding Thanos that he'd promised that he would die for killing Heimdall and Loki, thus enabling Thanos to snap his fingers and cause the Snap. Later, when the heroes find him so they could get the Infinity Stones to undo his actions and find out he destroyed the stones so the process can't be undone, he snaps and kills him by slicing off his head. Even the heroes was shown to be shocked by the latter, despite showing disgust at Thanos's actions.
- Though one could argue all three moments are completely understandable, it's still too excessive for a character who would have been approved as Pure Good. He also never felt explicit remorse for them.
