The MightyThoris one of Marvel ’s most popular superheroes , but in recent age that popularity seems to be rivaled by his famous mallet Mjolnir - and writers are learning the wrong lessons from his connection with the weapon . Before the modern earned run average of comic strip , Thor and Mjolnir were practically inseperable , and one was seldom seen without the other . In a sense , MjolnirisThor ; a founder or lost cock suggests a broken or lost God , and author have seized upon the opportunity to place it at the centrepiece of many Asgardian risky venture . But Marvel editorial has overuse this narrative gimmick to an absurd grade , andAvengers eternally # 8proves it .
The Mjolnir of Norse Mythology had no magical dimension ; it was simply so heavy that only Thor , with his great specialty , could raise it . Thor ’s father Odin ’s enchantmentassociated with the hammer of Marvel Comics is a Stan Lee and Jack Kirby addition , and it rendered the cock literally unmovable for all but those whom it view as " suitable . " Using the malleus , Thor can mobilize lightning , storm clouds , attack otherworldly creatures many time his size and can even flee by rapidly spinning the malleus , letting it loose , and holding on to the strap as it rockets through the sky .

InAvengers Forever # 8 , by Jason Aaron , Aaron Kuder , Cam Smith and Guru - eFX , Thor is at his absolute lowest point : not only can he no longer lift his hammer , itmockshim for being unworthy . As numerous disasters harry Earth and the cosmos , Mjolnir adopt Thor whenever he goes - always present , but never obeying his command . This Thor eventually memorize that the hammer must be tamed rather than lay claim , and he must prove his worth to his own weapon . Until then , it considers him worthless , and Thorgains weight akin to his " fat Thor"Avengers Endgameself .
While this Thor finally learns to use his own power rather than bank on his hammer , the same can not be said for his writers . Nearly ever major Thor - centric story of the last few year has either revolved around Mjolnir or has used it to make a point about the God of Thunder . Henever found it inHeroes Rebornand became a peregrine vagabond without aim ; he could n’t lift it in 2022’sThorrun ( but his brother Loki could , shaming him even more ) ; it was destroyed , rebuilt and presently holds the emotional state of his idle father Odin . This pattern continues in the MCU : the hammer ’s destruction inThor Ragnarokwas a major game full stop , and so too was the reclamation of the weapon inThor : Love and Thunder . In both cases , the hammering serve as a reflection of Thor ’s emotional country .
In both the comics and the MCU , Thor no longer needs the hammer to aid him in conflict - but the writers clearly need the mallet as a storytelling assistance . There are other way of symbolizing Thor ’s success and bankruptcy besides exchange the hammering ’s state . The end ofAvengers Forever # 8revealsthatThoris not defined by his hammer- and if he can realize that , so too can Marvel editorial .
