It was easily one of the most epic and entertaining moments in a movie that was full of epic climaxes. As Thanos appeared to be on the verge of a repeat victory over Thor, Captain America, and Iron Man, Cap picked up Thor’s mighty hammer and was able to knock the Mad Titan back on his heels long enough for the rest of the MCU to show up. The issue of Mjolnir and who is worthy had come up before at an Avengers after party where Bruce Banner, Tony Stark, and even Rhoddy Rhodes tried to lift the judgemental weapon. It eventually found its way into the hands of Vision for the final battle with Ultron, but what happened in Avenger: Age of Ultron? Why wasn’t Cap able to lift Mjolnir when he could later on? Well, Marvel’s co-president teased a reason as to why. He just didn’t feel like it. But there’s more, what about Captain America getting Thor powers after Odin said that the hammer was just a way to focus his powers, but his powers come from within. Avengers: Endgame writer Christopher Markus has weighed in on that subject as well. We’re going to take a deep dive into both subjects and see how much sense it makes and what that meaning implies for the future of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Thor as we move into Phase 4. Only the most worthy story will survive.

When Thor hit Cap in the the first Avengers Cap was able to take and block the hit . I think Thor knew since then by the look he gave. Steve Rogers could wield a hammer since the first Avengers.

[@user-ep8ns6hg4q]

Steve could wield the hammer since long before he became Captain America, his values have never changed and that's what determines what makes you worthy, Thor was finally willing to fight and die for people and not glory, he was not willing to lay down and let the other guy crawl over him, Steve was always the guy that would jump on a grenade, Tonys sacrifice may have made him worthy as well, had he known perhaps he could have survived with the hammer(like Thor eating the star and getting rejuvenated by Stormbreaker, Jane Foster will also reinforce this theory IMO).

gAmER bOy2020 to be honest I don’t know but I don’t think he really needed it in Ultron but at thanos’s Endgame fight he knew how strong thanos was and thanos was killing Thor so he had to lift it

[@ManicTaffz]

gAmER bOy2020 Basically He Was Worthy Since His Sacrifice Or Since His Birth, At Age Of Ultron’s Party Everyone One is trying to lift it but cap realised at that moment that he COULD lift it but lifting it would be showing of and caps not that type of person , so it kind of wiggles a bit and Thor sees but says “nothing” and laughs but I think he though he might be able to or it was just a dream so he forgets and doesn’t worry , and I’m Ultron fight he didn’t use it as Thor was using it most the battle and he was doing fine with the shield but in Endgame he remembers infinity war and how strong thanos is so he realises the hammer might be his best choice to use as thanos was killing Thor, and Thor remembers the wiggle and realises his ‘dream’ was real that’s why he said I Knew It

He wasn't. Dude had 0 combat experiance and wasn't a warrior. Odin wouldn't allow someone like that to be King of Asgard and rule his people.

Kawaki ahh so there is a minimum combat experience requirement to be worthy? And didn't he have plenty of combat experience and moments where he was prepared to sacrifice himself to save others prior to Age of Ultron?

Kawaki I must have missed all that, but which movie(s) established the criteria for worthiness?

I don’t recall any combat experience requirements

So while they were in the present, time stood still in the past?

[@wikipedia6610]

I think as in the present if we want to go to the past, whatever time we spend in the past it is just 5 seconds for us according to Bruce banner when he sends cap in the past to keep the stones at their right place. Now in the past if we take something from their and return into the present and whatever we spend time here (present) it should take just 5 seconds for the past. As mentioned stones are also taken from the past. I hope you will agree with my answer.

[@tiberiusgrey1529]

My theory is "being worthy" is different for every person trying to lift the hammer. As stated, Thor's "worthiness" is brought about by humility and sacrifice. Vision's is his valuing of all forms of life regardless of its span and origin. For Steve, I think, is his warrior spirit; he would always try to find a diplomatic solution, compromise and be indecisive to a fault. Sure he can fight but always as a last resort, even if it means biting the bullet himself. For Steve to wield Mjolnir, he needed to live up to the speech in the funeral in Civil War. Steve Rogers story arc in the MCU is being Captain America. Him wielding Mjolnir is the fulfillment of that story.

@@HoichiTheEarless When he invaded the frost giant realm, the hammer was not enchanted meaning anyone could lift it, we have no idea if Thor could lift the hammer or not when he became an alcoholic video gamer because the hammer was destroyed and stormbreaker wasn't enchanted, when he did lift the hammer when he went back in time he had just spoken to his Mum, take in what she said and realised what he had to do, he realised that he couldn't carry on drinking and being lazy which for most people takes a lot of will power and when he made Heimdall betray Odin Thor was actually right, Odin said himself at the end of The Dark World that Thor would be a wiser King meaning even Odin realised Thor was right so really yes, at those moments it makes sense for the hammer to have answered to him

[@anwarabbas7323]

So if tony survived the snap wouldn’t he be worthy since he gave his life for his family and his team?

[@raionshishi8290]

Technically yes, possibly still has some ground rules like "was he always a self sacrifice kind of person", before but who knows.

Yo u guys are so close to 3M

[@ssj2camaro21]

BECAUSE THE DIRECTORS CAN DO WHATEVER THEY WANT AND EXPLAIN LATER. THATS WHY!!!!

[@GirishKumar-ty1kw]

because fan service stop analyzing stuff that dont exist

[@ssj2camaro21]

Thank you!!!!!!!!

[@lidreally547]

Hi I am a huge fan

[@RM-xh8it]

I feel like tony should be able to lift miljnior either after he made Mark 85 or after he snapped his finger and didn’t die. This is because in an interview it’s stated that iron man specifically made the mark 85 knowing that it would save the universe as it can hold the infinity stones but also would kill tony himself. this shows that he was willing to make a sacrifice similar if not more than captain America

[@Earth9496]

*This would save you some time:* Cap couldn't lift it earlier because he wasn't worthy enough, also, the mjolnir didn't think cap needed a lot of power ,he knew they could do it In endgame however ,thor is about to die , without Thor noone could lift the hammer ,that's where cap needed power, to save his friend,

[@JB0523]

He waited because the plot demanded that he waited. No need for a 15 minute video over analyzing it 🙄

[@haxjason3720]

So if Stark comes back, he can lift the hammer? Cuz he snapped and killed thanos sacrificing himself..

[@clipshd9947]

in theory yes

[@treyvonwilliams]

The reason why is because he wasn't ready to lift up the hammer yet.

[@planetsmarf9969]

Treyvon Williams I read that the reason was he didn’t want to embarrass Thor in front of everyone

[@treyvonwilliams]

@@planetsmarf9969 Thats like If Thor was holding Cap shield and he didn't embarrass Steve Rogers.

[@planetsmarf9969]

Treyvon Williams it’s a little different, the shield is something that everyone can pick up and use, which we’ve seen many times over the last 11 years. The hammer is a much different story, it’s supposed to only be used by Thor. The directors or writers (can’t remember which) said cap purposely didn’t lift it in AoU so he wouldn’t embarrass Thor

[@HoichiTheEarless]

except he was able to wiggle it? is Mjolnir worthiness categorized into "lift/use" and "wiggle" categories? no, the real reason he didn't lift prior to the Endgame battle is cuz the plot didn't need him to lift it before that moment, and the writers made an oversight in favor of getting a fan boy jizz moment over continuity and logic...

[@adeebahmad5146]

Also i just noticed when Cap after he came back from time he was his true age.

1 Tony sacrificed himself at the end of Avengers 2 Groot sacrificed himself for his gang in 1st Guardians 3 Hella held the hammer before busting it. 4 At a day old Vision held it.

[@markjordan5478]

Hell groot wasnt around to try to lift and hela it was her weapon

Who else just wants to whatch MCU all over

[@legendaryjayy24]

Already did man totally worth it!

[@dhjfdk]

@@legendaryjayy24 man I'm gonna start from Avengers though 😁

[@teddyv6799]

Ego was the reason Thor lost his worthiness of his hammer. So, being that said ... ego was in all of them in Age of Ultron. Meaning, ego automatically makes you not worthy. Truth, honor and sacrifice is what made Capt. worthy at that precise time. Imo 😉

[@teddyv6799]

@nikola poyukov He checked his ego at the door by the end of Thor I. So no.

[@fightingphoenix5669]

When I saw this I couldn't resist watching it cuz before I clicked on it the title was too long and it only showed "why cap waited to lift thors ham..."

[@Iknowitswrong]

Why do guys make videos about obvious question?

[@MatthewSmith001]

Don't be a party pooper! Some people need more direction than others.

[@Iknowitswrong]

@@MatthewSmith001 the vast majority of people know this information, if they're trying to get views, they should stop making lazy videos for a small minority of people

[@curry_whorst1395]

According to your criteria Tony Stark should be able to wield the hammer. Coz he sacrificed.

[@draxo3103]

3:13 in order to understand Despacitos explanation - I see what you did there

[@jonalbertson10270]

That last point of wielding the lightning, Was actually covered with Odin’s words..

[@ausername4487]

Because he didn’t want to ruin Thor’s ego back then but because he already ruined it himself in endgame by getting fat and drunk he could lift if in front of everyone without ruining his ego because it’s already ruined

[@koni2x524]

He wasn’t worthy until the end of civil war. MANS WAS HIDING THE SECRET OF WHO KILLED TONY’S PARENTS

[@bobbyhempel1513]

He was worthy in Age of Ultron he actually budges to hammer and then immediately stop so as not to embarrass Thor.

[@koni2x524]

Bobby Hempel oh my bad, I thought he wasn’t worthy because he was behind on a secret of who killed his friends parents, but I guess Odin finds that worthy😂

[@Saintsfanalways]

Clearly in that scene when Stark asked if he knew Cap said he didn't know it was him. So he knew how Starks parents died, but had no idea it was bucky that did it so your statement would be incorrect about Cap knowing exactly who killed starks parents.

[@tutron4048]

Iron man be like i saved n nearly killed myself during nuclear missile shot wtf!! 😂

[@GrandCircumlocution]

Cap wasn’t trying to pick it up while tony was really trying but cap didn’t really care about

[@deadpoolregeneratedegenera1683]

First three comments: “First!”

[@deadpoolregeneratedegenera1683]

@Daniel Kalz Agreed, though when I got here, there were only three. But I do agree usually the first dozen or so people say they're first. Its usually followed by "no, I was first" and "no, I was!". Ah, life.

[@JMilMovies]

The reason Cap could use the powers of lightening is because it is well known that "whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor". The hammer itself is not the power source, but it does PROVIDE THE POWERS OF THOR to whosoever is worthy enough to hold Mjolnir. That one should have been obvious to anyone who knows anything about Marvel/Thor/Mjolnir.

[@matthewweiser9032]

answer: he didn't wanna felx on thor too hard
