This isn't a respect thread, this is a thread questioning why people refer to Thor as RTK(Rune King Thor)? All RTk is, is current Thor, after the events of Ragnarok.
Actually, he was said to be stronger than Odin (In reference to Odin's powers), because he went to the next level, so to speak. Nevermind the added strength of the runes.
Rune King Thor could blink a dozen Supermen out of existence.

The odinforce filled him before he was able to use the runes, and he was bonded with his father, by exceeding him in sacrifice, he was granted wisdom and power beyond that of his father.
That and the fact that he had lived as a mortal gave him the strength, courage, and wisdom to do what needed to be done to end the cycle created by the Pantheon.
