I can see how it seems like a sharp turn- but losing the corrosive power of the Necro Sword brought him back to his initial motive: to save his daughter. And as I said, he just watched a god do all the things he wished his own god had. So, while I know you buy it, I think it's a fairly strong and consistent case.

Naw, I think he saw more than enough. I think your unedited point makes sense- but it still brings me back to what Gor- both during, and after, the effects of the sword- saw from Thor, gave him faith that Thor, at least was good. Or, as it always is with him: Worthy.

And he had a chance to give his daughter a life, which is all he really wanted to begin with. So his initial mission of vengeance was about his view that the gods were unworthy of devotion and deserved to die, bu his turn in the end was all about wanting to give his child a chance at a good life- and he found someone who showed him that he, at least, was different.
