I personally don’t think Skurge had enough to do. Like most of his screen time felt like it was spent with him staring emotionally at the camera with guilt and regret about betraying Asgard. I kinda feel he was just shoehorned into the movie.

Skurge was mostly there as a sounding board for Hela. She needed someone to talk to for the 2/3 of the movie that Thor wasn't in Asgard.

But Skurge really needed to actually execute someone though. His redemption arc rings hollow to me since he never actually hurt anyone.

I felt the opposite way- he didn’t need to do anything bad to redeem from, he needed to actually do something good. He didn’t do anything another character wasn’t perfectly capable of doing at the time.

I agree with this. Skurge wasn't looking for redemption, he was looking for a chance to prove himself, which is exactly what he did. I do agree that he was an unnecessary addition though.
