Odin clearly aided him in both situations either by empowering him directly or giving him a jolt so his lightning could do the rest.

Hela never had Thor at deaths door.
Are you unfamiliar with fiction? A hero realizing his hidden true power and escalating to a new level is a very popular trope. The most popular anime in history, DBZ is built on it..
You're a Hulk fan, the entire shtick in comics is him getting stronger as he gets angrier.
Odin giving him a jolt? Odin had moved on and was a vision. This is grade A, prime cut mental gymnastics.
I think I understand your confusion. The reality that Odin was a motivator and didn't magically empower Thor causes cognitive dissonance because you'd have to acknowledge that Thor > Hulk.
I've read the script, I can even post the link. It was Thor accessing his internal power that he's been holding back all these centuries.
Thor also instantly healed when he touched Stormbreaker and when his mortal version died and touched Mjolnir. When the lighting crackles, and his eyes glow, whatever hurt him previously is irrelevant, and you're about to get an ass kicking. Hulk learned that himself.
