Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

We don't even know if MCU hammer have the power to change outfits. And, anyway, even in comics this doesn't happen always. Cap moved the hammer without becoming Thor. Transforming is an active decision, not something that just happens.
Cap kills but he tries to avoid it and only does it as last resort. With Nat I think she'd try to avoid it but would be willing to do it if she felt it was more convenient.
Ignoring that being a spy might be another strike against her unrelated to her moral character. The hammer might see it as dishonorable.

That's an interesting point.
By Thor's reaction, we're supposed to take the Vision lifting the hammer to mean that he's worthy. But there's a few suspicious things about that:
1) We never see the Vision use Thor's powers, which by all rights, he should be able to do when he picks the hammer up.
2) Even more conspicuously, we never see Ultron try to pick up the hammer, so there's no real consensus about how the hammer views artificial intelligence. Sure, Thor seems to think it counts, but then he's not the one who enchanted the hammer. Nor is he a technology expert.

I was thinking more about the movies. Thor can't fly without it but he also never controls the weather without it so from what we see I guess they are linked.
No. Thor, Thunderstrike, Beta Ray Bill, Female Thor, Widow, and Cap are the only people that ever could to my knowledge.

I don't know, I don't remember if he ever did.
I mean, in the early stories, machines could pick up the hammer no problem. There's an early story where Mr. Hyde uses, like, a grappling machine to grab the hammer out of Thor's hand. But that was also the time period where the hammer had some really funky powers (like, uh, traveling through time, I guess? or moving electrons? or something — look it was the Silver Age, it was goofy as shit).

Didn't it get dramatically rainy when he went to go get the hammer?
Doesn't necessarily mean anything though.
Or it could have been the hammer acting up.
Forever liveblogging the AvengersYou know, that "Elevator can lift Mjolnir. But the elevator's not worthy" line bugs me. Elevator saved the people in it when Hulk went on a rampage, then let itself be used as a bludgeon by Iron Man, and on top of all that it does its duty of bringing people up and down floors without needing the stairs. I'd say elevator is more than worthy of wielding Mjolnir, and Cap's just too narrow minded.
You cannot firmly grasp the true form of Squidward's technique!
