* ContinuityNod: Shardak recalls how All-Black was once the weapon of Knull, God of the Symbiotes, as written by Creator/DonnyCates in his ''[[ComicBook/VenomDonnyCates Venom]]'' run.
* ILied: A benevolent version. Thor spitefully tells Loki as he tries to kill him that Frigga died heartbroken by Loki embracing his villainy and rescinding her motherly love for him. As the two are consumed by All-Black and seemingly on the verge of death, Thor admits that he lied, and confesses that Frigga never lost faith in Loki and pleaded Thor with her dying breath to save him.
* SpaceCop: One of the potential future outcomes for Thor we see is the fulfillment of King Thor mentioning how Avenger Thor would eventually become a God Cop whose sheriff's office is in the sun, policing the cosmos and punishing various wayward deities after the "[[NoodleIncident Pantheonic Wars]]."

!! ''King Thor'' includes examples of:
* AbstractEater: After merging with All-Black, Gorr uses it to attempt to consume the universe itself, corroding the space-time continuum.
* TheAgeless: Despite hundreds of thousands -- if not millions or even billions -- of years having passed, the Goddesses of Thunder look the same as they when they first fought Gorr. However, in the AndTheAdventureContinues[=/=]DistantFinale flash-forward where they're shown leading the Avengers, they sport different appearances -- Frigg having an eyepatch like her grandfather, and Atli sporting a mohawk.
* AndTheAdventureContinues: The miniseries ends with the present-day Lord Librarian showing his apprentice Shadrak some of Thor's future adventures leading up to him becoming All-Father Thor, as well as some of the future adventures of the Goddesses of Thunder.
* BackFromTheDead:
** Initially subverted and then played straight with Gorr. He is seemingly resurrected by Loki to kill him after he kills Thor, but reveals that his body is actually a simulacrum manifested from the All-Black symbiote, which his consciousness has merged with and is controlling. After All-Black is destroyed, he's resurrected in full and left to live the rest of his mortal life on Indigarr.
** In the glimpse the Lord Librarian shows Shadrak of the far future, the Goddesses of Thunder establish a new version of the Avengers with a resurrected Phoenix-Logan as one of its members.
* CallBack: At the end of the "God-Butcher" arc of ''ComicBook/ThorGodOfThunder'' it's mentioned that Thor brought several of the gods abducted from across time and space by Gorr to replace the slain Sky-Lords of Indigarr. In ''King Thor'' #2, the Goddesses of Thunder travel to Indigarr looking for backup to help their grandfather fight Loki and come across these gods in a dormant state, having terraformed the once-desert world into a verdant paradise.
* CameBackStrong: Gorr returns even more powerful than he had been prior to his death in ''ComicBook/ThorGodOfThunder'', though it's revealed that this is due to his consciousness piloting the All-Black symbiote rather than him being restored to a flesh-and-blood body.
* ElderlyImmortal:
** All-Father Thor is every bit the surly GrandpaGod he was in ''ComicBook/ThorGodOfThunder'', with the added dose of a few extra millennia's worth of bitterness and despair at seeing Asgard once more decline into a ruin populated only by himself and his granddaughters.
** Shadrak, the God of Bombs from ''ComicBook/ThorGodOfThunder'', is revealed to be the last remaining inhabitant of Omnipotence City in the far future, having become the Lord Librarian's apprentice and eventually taken over the position.
** In the present-day, the geriatric Lord Librarian of Omnipotence City's Halls of All-Knowing appears, showing Shadrak the ropes in the hopes of ultimately retiring.
* EldritchTransformation: Merging with All-Black enables Gorr to unleash the primordial symbiote's full power, using it in an attempt to consume what's left of the universe. This lets him create monstrous "Berserker Moons" in an attempt to devour the gods, conjure cosmic storms of Necro-Power, and snuff out stars just by existing.
* EnemyMine: When Gorr returns, Loki decides to join his last living relatives in stopping the God of God-Butchers from destroying what's left of the universe.
* GrandFinale: The miniseries wraps up Jason Aaron's tenure as the writer of ''Thor'' comics, and brings back the main players of the Far Future Saga for one last battle to determine the fate of the universe.
* HeelRealization: After being mocked, blinded, and maimed by Gorr, Loki admits that the God-Butcher was right about the gods being unworthy of existence and that his one regret is that he won't be able to watch Thor die. However, he's cajoled into an EnemyMine by the prayers of some mortals.
* HeroicSacrifice:
** Lord Librarian Shadrak sacrifices himself by blowing up the ruins of Omnipotence City to save the Goddesses of Thunder from Loki's Necro-Ravens.
** Having been convinced to embrace his role as the God of Stories once more, Loki sacrifices himself to rekindle the Sun after it's blackened by Gorr.
** Thor departs to sacrifice himself holding back the Entropy destroying what's left of the universe for as long as he can, leaving the Goddesses of Thunder in charge.
* HopeSpot: Just as it appears Gorr is about to kill Loki and Thor, the Goddesses of Thunder and the Sky-Lords of Indigarr arrive to rescue them and turn the tables -- Atli even decapitating Gorr with Jarnbjorn. And then it's revealed they weren't really fighting Gorr at all, but the All-Black symbiote with Gorr's consciousness in the cockpit, and that while they were fighting the simulacrum of his mortal body he was busy devouring what was left of the universe.
* MindRape: Loki uses his power as the God of Stories to inflict this on Gorr, which coupled with Thor God-Bombing the All-Black symbiote into oblivion leaves Gorr utterly broken and unable to say anything except "Thor is Thor." Even the gods he once sought to annihilate take pity on him and let him live out the rest of his restored mortal life in peace.
* OmnicidalManiac: Gorr decides that rather than just kill all the gods, he's going to wipe out ''all'' life and start the universe over without gods.
* PlanetDestroyer: Both Thor and Gorr tear apart planets and even stars over the course of their cosmic battle.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The first thing Gorr does upon being resurrected is berate Thor and Loki for squabbling while the universe slowly dies around them. He then scathingly mocks Loki for not having the guts to kill Thor himself even with All-Black's power, as well as Thor for ultimately having failed to protect life throughout the universe.
* ScatterbrainedSenior: As an ElderlyImmortal, Lord Librarian Shadrak's mind isn't as sharp as it once was and it takes him a while to even remember what he used to be the god of.
* TheStarsAreGoingOut: After Atli decapitates Thor, the gods celebrate their victory only to notice the stars are disappearing... and Gorr to reveal that he's eating them.
