In this scene, we see Tony Stark try and fail to lift the hammer utilizing his iron man gauntlets. Note the thrusters attempting to move the hammer and failing.
These scenes are inconsistent and break the universe's logic. If the hammer can be moved by an elevator, it can be moved by any mechanical means. Tony should be able to lift the Hammer by having the thrust of his gauntlet do all the work for him. This is the same as an elevator moving the hammer when someone pushes a button to make it go up.
The writers decide the fucking logic of the hammer.
That's the honest truth you dumb capeshit fuck.
The writers are "gods" if you will, of the movie universe. They decide who can wield it and who can't.
They inconsistently fucked up the logic without reviewing their own continuity and in providing fan service during Endgame, Cap was able to wield the hammer.
Ethan Hughes
It magical, there is a difference between when its passively being lifted then when a person is trying to wield it
Think about the sword in the stone knowing only to dislodge for king Arthur
Gavin Martin
So did Cap purposely pretend to not lift it here?
Mason Johnson
it looks like it
Christian Brown
cap became worthy when he tried to fight Thanos in infinity war one on one, hand to hand, knowing full well he doesn't stand a chance. That is what Odin deems "worthy" - in norse mythology, ragnarok is inevitable but the asgardians fight anyways
Jeremiah Parker
Draw a free body diagram and you'll have a better idea why. A good scientific test would be to place it in a vacuum in deep space (as free from any gravitational forces as possible etc.) and then apply amounts of force to it in certain directions to see how it reacts.
Of course in the abovementioned hypothetical experiments, one also has to account for the fact it's just a fictional story.
Gavin Hernandez
it knows when an unworthy person is trying to move it because magic
Oliver Harris
The elevator is worthy to lift the hammer because it is content in serving the needs of living people without ego or need for praise.
Cap could lift the hammer because doing so would not matter to him, and he would be more concerned about bruising his friends ego than anything.
Jose Walker
does the word, "magic enchantment" mean anything to you
Jeremiah Gray
I want to believe Cool Cat Cap decided not to out of respect. Kind of an "Oh shit I can lift it, better not make a scene."
Logan Watson
It's asgardian's magic. I ain't going to explain shit
Jonathan Lewis
No, he was worthy, but was being held back by his own guilt from keeping the secret of Tony's parents death by the hands of Bucky. After Civil War he is free of his guilt and able to truly be the most worthy mortal, one who's heart is completely uncorrupted
William Thomas
i think that he tried to lift it, but didnt really think he could, so he wasnt able to some bullshit like that
Michael Martinez
>In this scene, Iron Man states that if Thor's hammer was put in an elevator it would still go up That's because elevators are worthy.
Mason Reyes
This makes the most sense, I'll go with this as my headcanon. Thanks friend.
Matthew Carter
he realized he could lift it, but then faked it to not damage thor's ego
Jeremiah Myers
not when an unworthy person is using an elevator to move it, though
Parker Smith
>Not knowing about magic logic
The hammer knows who to pick.
Robert Ward
Mlliyonjir the Hammer is basically like a penis, its METAPHORICAL it does what it wants
Jason Williams
sneed
Matthew Bennett
The hammer is literally intelligent or it's enchantment intelligent
no way it would be fooled by simple tricks to fool it
James Ward
he wasn't "worthy" until he had a cause that was worthy. his character is unchanged, but his need wasn't great enough. It was in endgame.
This. Nowhere was it indicated that he chose to not lift it. He had the makings of someone who was worthy, but it wasn't the time or place for it.
Noah Cox
I interpreted it as that he could lift it but the hammer knew he didn't need it yet, so he could only lift it a little bit
It only allowed itself to be wielded by him because the hammer knew that he was the kind of person that could wield it and was also about to get crushed by Thanos without it
Ryder Wood
Why would Captain America pick up Mjolnir in the first place? He's not Thor, so he shouldn't be able to lift it. Why bother trying when you're up to your ass in Chitauri? That would be like a regular soldier trying to pick up a tank on the battlefield because, hey, free tank! Which is pretty damn stupid. But then it works, and Boom, he gets the Power of Thor. Also, I get that Steve got Thor's powers, but did that include knowledge of fighting with Mjolnir? LIke, how does Steve know how to summon lightning, or spin the hammer to fly, or how to aim it?
