* BreakTheHaughty: Thor suffers a massive one early in the movie. He gets his ego propped up after beating the Einherjar in sparring matches, not knowing that they just let him win on Odin's orders because he couldn't afford Asgard to see their prince lose in public. But Sif quickly gives him a reality check by trouncing him in a sword fight...using the broken end of a barn tool.

* MortonsFork: Odin implies he was left with this kind of situation when it came to the survival of the Dark Elves.

Meanwhile, its true wielder Surtur is absent for the film minus a flashback, with Thor and Loki reconstructing a battle between their father and the ruler of Muspelheim in Jotunheim to decipher the location of his sword.

!!'''The ''Thor: Tales of Asgard'' movie provides examples of the following tropes:'''

* ActionGirl: Sif and all of the Valkyries.
* AdaptationDyeJob: Small one, but Loki's hair in both the comic and movie is clearly a jet-black. It's not clear why it was changed to brown, but possibly it was due to the problems of shading and giving depth to entirely black hair in animation. [[spoiler:Who's to say it won't eventually turn black, after what happened in the end?]]
* AdaptationalVillainy: [[spoiler: Algrim in the comics was genuinely loyal to Asgard after cutting ties to Malekith, but here, he resents Odin for not helping Svartalfheim against the Frost Giants, going to war ''against'' them after they turned to Surtur for help, blames Odin and Asgard for letting the Dark Elves go extinct, and was willing to use the Sword of Surtur against Asgard for revenge.]]

* AlmostKiss: Thor interrupts one between Loki and Amora.
* AmazonBrigade: The Valkyries
* BarBrawl: There's one involving Thor, Loki, and the Warriors Three. It ends with the bar burning down, so the bar owner goes to Odin for compensation.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Between Thor and Sif.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Thor towards Loki, though Loki, being the smarter brother, also looks after Thor in his own way.
* BilingualBonus: Loki's spells are spoken in Icelandic.
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler: By the end Thor and Odin reconcile their family differences, but several Frost Giants have died, Asgard and the Valkyries have been attacked, and Loki had to kill a former family friend.]]
* BlatantLies: Loki: (after Thor loses his sword in a public training match) "You were victorious despite the trouble with your sword's grip... Plainly it was too slick. I'll reprimand the dwarfs."
* BleedEmAndWeep: [[spoiler:Loki after he kills Algrim]].
* BookEnds: When Algrim is first introduced, he commends Thor on being able to detect him in the dark, and Thor responds it was just a lucky guess. [[spoiler:In their battle near the end of the movie, Algrim uses the Sword of Surtur to put out the fires, and Thor manages to hear him moving and pin him down.]]
* ContinuityNod: Loki hands Thor a wooden hammer during the bar fight and it proves far more useful than his sword.
** Also, [[spoiler: Loki's Frost Giant heritage is hinted at when he handles the cold of a snowy Jotunheim better than his bundled and burly companions.]]

* {{Foreshadowing}}: Loki's control over water (and ice and mist by extension), as well as his immunity to the cold in Jotenheim hints at [[spoiler: his Frost Giant heritage.]]
** Also, the ending, with [[spoiler: Loki murdering Algrim in cold blood]] and then hiding in his temple to play with his (growing) magic, hints at his future FaceHeelTurn.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Tons of it. From Amora whispering seductively in Loki's ear (which triggers an obviously turned on expression on his face) to Sif shooting an arrow into the archery dummy's crotch to Fandral being asked how many of the Valkyries he's 'angered'.
* GreyAndGrayMorality: Nothing is absolutely "good" or "bad" in this movie.

* PrecisionGuidedBoomerang: Parodied when Thor throws a (small, unenchanted) hammer in a bar fight, which proceeds to bounce between various objects until it cuts the rope on a chandelier above his opponent. Thor is shocked, and asks Loki if he bewitched the hammer. Loki, equally dumbfounded, says he didn't.
* PunctuatedForEmphasis: "CAN! YOU! FIGHT!!" -Sif
* RoyalBrat: Thor, at first.
* SiblingYinYang: Thor and Loki, though they're not yet at the CainAndAbel stage.
* StartOfDarkness: For [[spoiler: Loki, by the end of the film.]]
* StrawFeminist: The Valkyries.
* SwordBeam: The Sword of Surtur shoots fire.
* TragicVillain: Algrim. Given the fact that his family and whole people were slaughtered thanks in part to Odin it's no wonder he's pissed. Yes working with Surtur was stupid but again people can be stupid when desperate.
* ThoseTwoGuys: Three guys, actually - the Warriors Three.
** Thor and Loki may count as a sibling variation.
* TroubledButCute: Loki, by the end.
* UnwillingSuspension: The Warriors 3 at one point.
