A funny thing happened when an actor lifted a prop.(Brie Larson lifts Thor's hammer)
- Thread starter Laserdisk
- Start date
For the lore nerds, it is kind of an Excalibur situation.
Nerds don't want to believe that a girl is "worthy".
I loved that no sell to the headbutt in that scene. Reminds me of one of the few good scenes in BvS when he's punching Superman and his chin starts denting his gauntlet

Lol really? But Natalie Portman is the new thor. I didn't see people raging about that.
I'm not really deep on the fan stuff but I'm pretty sure she has her share of haters in the MCU fandom.
... to have nearly 13,000 posts on this forum and not understand the gist of Thor, his hammer, or Captain Marvel and the nerdmuck's reaction to her would require a determined, deliberate ignorance that would keep you out of a thread like this, if it were possible at all.
Don't sweat it. I don't know why they didn't just tell you that it's about virtue, not power. Instead those posters went passive-aggressive as hell for no reason at all. It's funny how easily some MCU fans make themselves look bad in a thread about just that.
Back in the original. It is quite literal. The hammer chooses who gets to wield it, in the same way Excalibur chooses who gets to be the king of England.
Yup, expect lots of "SHES ALWAYS BEEN TERRIBLE IN EVERYTHING SHES EVER BEEN IN"
And then everyone should point them to her work with the Lonely Island.
I dunno man, maybe it's just frustrating to have people tell you how terrible these films are only to then have people also reveal that they weren't paying attention to the films at all.
Sure, but he was questioning why it's such a big deal for those manbabies that Brie can lift it when other people like Cap did too. He didn't at all imply that the movies are terrible, he simply had forgotten how it works and was asking for an explanation. No idea why you took that as an attack on the films.
Braaier, how can you possibly be in an MCU thread, having seen Endgame, have a Spider-Man avatar, and not know that that only the worthy can lift mjolnir? You have to be trolling everyone.
This isn't even esoteric nerd knowledge. It's central to the character, and has been touched on in multiple films.

I like the mcu movies though! Guess I need to pay closer attention though
Geez these must be the worst people to ave at a party. You could tell a joke, and everyone would laugh but then there's that one guy who goes on about what realistically would happen.
It's worth noting that, prior to the events of the first Thor movie, there was no enchantment on Mjolnir and anybody could lift it, so for all of that time, Thor wasn't worthy - it just didn't matter.
But then he learned humility and attempted to sacrifice himself for the good of others, so Mjolnir recognized his worthiness and returned to him. Assuming Mjolnir is going to be brought back for good, there's no reason Carol wouldn't be able to lift it - there are a ton of parallels between her attitude and temperament and Thor's. That's why he says "I like this one" in Endgame - they're the same kinda person.
Anywho, the only thing here that even matters is that a buncha internet assholes got their underwear twisted. Thanks, Captain Marvel!
Thanos caught Stormbreaker, which isn't enchanted. Vision, Cap, and presumably Odin were the only characters that could feasibly lift Mjolnir, that we know of. Oh, and I guess Jane Foster is going to, though I'm still curious to see if it's really gonna be Mjolnir or if they're going to give her a hammer of her own. I hope it's Mjolnir - her bond with the hammer was a really cool part of The Mighty Thor.
Yep. Deffo gif of the year. 😆
Now the movie is out on Blu-Ray, etc. I'd love to see a full HD version.
Era pointing fingers at angry tweets posted by what are probably very young children. Some of you are to be laughed at as much as them to be honest.
Nobody pointing fingers thinks they're young children.
As it is, yes, there's nothing in the films that suggests Marvel would or would not be able to lift the hammer either way. Maybe she has the rather vaguely defined willingness to sacrifice herself to save others that seemed to make Thor worthy in the climax of Thor 1 (and also matches cap/visions actions in the following films). It's never come up in her few appearances in the MCU.
But the hammer doesn't actually matter, because what is setting the section of losers we cringe at off is because she's a strong woman also playing a strong woman in media and they hate anything that reminds them of that.
