No, i will not. You are wrong about this "take". Steve was always worthy. Thor knew it. As he said in endgame when he lifted it. Call back to age of ultron And the directors stated as such. You know, the people who worked on the age of ultron movie? So you're just defying facts at this point.
Kevin Fiege himself said that Cap is worthy to weild Mjonir in age of Ultron only... He didn't didn't lift it then because it could be a face loss for Thor
Bruno lol your wrong man the Russo brothers already said that cap didn’t lift it because he’s a good guy and he just simply didn’t want to embarrass Thor in front of everyone duuh
@@gawainethefirst That would make the whole scene in Ultron and specially the one in End Game completely worthless. Because one comes from character progression, yours is pointless. Like what would be the point of including another scene saying "oh look guys, Captain America is a nice guy". We know that. You know what we don't know much about? His faults, which through brilliant writing, are demonstrated and not outright told.
Captain America was a man who willingly gave up his life to save the world from Red Skull during WW2. If that doesn't make a man worthy, then I don't know what does.
He was about to throw down with thanos whole army solo when strange showed up, he tightened his broken shield to his arm and was about to go down in a blaze of glory, he was definately worthy.
Then in that case, Tony stark should be the worthiest due to having a family (wife and daughter) and still sacrifices himself simply bc strange told him there’s only 1 instance of them winning, so tony selflessly takes his life to save all that’s lost and bring them back
@@johnkieffer2880 I would say that he became worthy the moment he did sacrifice himself to save the universe. Before that though, I wouldn't say that he was worthy mainly because despite being a good man who did a lot of good things, he was also selfish which ironically is what makes Tony Stark....Tony Stark. Where as with Steve Rogers, he was Selfless in a lot of ways and did everything he did for the sake of others and not himself.
That is correct. Steve is worthy and he was from the very beginning. Without that, serum would make him a bad person. Dr Erskine said "Good becomes great. Bad becomes worse." Serum not only gives super strength, but also amplifies what's inside that person.
Mjolnir isn't about being pure hearted. It wants a hero - Cap was mostly worthy, but the hammer wouldn't accept him until he corrected himself a bit. The hammer wants a pure hearted warrior "a man of focus and determination", likely one to protect others even at the cost of self sacrifice. Which Thor showed, which Captain America showed when he wouldn't give up even after knowing he's likely die against Thanos.
you know that cap could always hold it. it's just that he didn't want to make Thor look bad and when cap had to use the hammer in end game Thor Said "I knew it"
Agreed, you can either move it or not. If he made it move, even slightly he could have been able to pick it up. I think he didn't to not humiliate Thor.
I don't think Thor said that because he knew Cap was already worthy. I think he said it because he knew Cap had the potential to become worthy of the hammer.
Which was exactly why Cap was worthy ironically. Anyone worthy of the hammer would have no desire to take it from Thor, show him up, or use it for any reason other than necessity. He literally won by not playing.
Exactly. He wasn’t “unworthy” because he wanted the war, nor did he like fighting. He only ever fought when he had to, usually in defense of the defenseless. That vision wasn’t his nightmare. It was his dream.. What he truly wanted all along, to live his life with the woman he loved. He knew it was wrong though, that it couldn’t be real, which is why he snapped out of it. 😢 Cap was always worthy. A truly pure soul.
Captain knew he was able to lift the hammer, but he stayed humble. As a student of war, it's only best to stay humble among your friends. He didn't want to let them know he could. That's why Thor said I knew it!
@@DukeKaywhat are you talking about? Both Kevin Feige and the Russo brother said that Captain America has always been worthy but chose not to lift the hammer because he didn’t want to publicly embarrass Thor at their party
@user-qr7yz2wf9w I'm just saying 😂 because Iron Man is more to robotic power, but capt is mere human being not like wolverine. Idk where it's power coming from or what makes him immortal almost.
This analysis is 100 percent wrong. CAP was able to lift the hammer in Age of Ultron, he just was too nice to embarrass Thor in front of everyone. Even Thor knew it. He said so, in "Endgame" when he saw Cap wield it. In fact, every piece of analysis was wrong from start to finish.
The Russo Bros said he was Always worthy. When It moved he realized he could do it, and didn't want to hurt Thor's feelings. Even Thor said "I Knew it!"
Thor knew Cap was worthy all along. The fact that he moved it a fraction of an inch and the look on Thor's face said it all. In one iteration of Marvel comics, Cap and Beta Ray Bill were both considered more worth than Thor.
The very simple explanation can be , how Captain just middle of battle thought to attack Thanos using Thor hammer if he knew he couldn't lift it last time he didn't look shock too while using the hammer. Captain knew all along that he was always worthy and at last resort he finally used mjonir to save Thor's life.
While Rogers may always have been worthy to wield Mjolnir, he was not worthy to wield it at that moment for one specific reason. Rogers was not worthy to lift Mjolnir at the party because he was trying to do it for selfish reasons. It was for a harmless competition, but a competition nonetheless.
Captain American was not able to lift Mjonier, because he kept a secret that Bucky killed Tony’s Parents. In Civil War, when confronted by Tony, Steve had to admit that he knew, that Bucky was his friend. When Steve admitted his guilt, and became truthful, he became worthy again. Which lead him to hold Mjonier….
A friend of mine once theorized that it was because of the circumstances under which they were trying to lift it. Because it was all on a bet/good fun and such, Mjolnir just gave Cap a little budge. Later, when the universe was at stake, it came to Cap in earnest because the need was there.
Cap is the leader. He needs to know what weapons he has at his disposal. He also needs his team at their best. He found out what he needed to know, and had no need to make it a show.
Kevin Fiege himself said Captain America could lift it during age of ultron. But he didn’t want to embarrass Thor. Which makes total sense. Cap is an amazing human being
It doesn't make sense. Cap would use hammer as advantage to fight Altron. Thor is God himself. PLUS I don't think he could lift it. Otherwise he would gather thors power, remember a spell Odin made? If he was worthy, the moment he held it he would have received the powers. But he didn't.
@@vladimirmihai3198 Stormbreaker was not a thing back then there was only one hammer EDIT: My point is if Thor was able he didn't want to take it from Thor becuase that is his only weapon Also Caprain America didn't want to embarass Thor in the room
In Avengers when black widow told cap to sit this one out that they are God's cap answer was God's don't look like that where he comes from.And he withstood the the blow from the her creating a sonic fallout
While Rogers may always have been worthy to wield Mjolnir, he was not worthy to wield it at that moment for one specific reason. Rogers was not worthy to lift Mjolnir at the party because he was trying to do it for selfish reasons. It was for a harmless competition, but a competition nonetheless.
No, Steve could always wield it, he chose not to so he didn't take away Thor's moment. Thor even later on says "I knew it!" when he does lift up Mjonir.
He couldn’t wield it cause he was holding on to the truth about Bucky and Tony’s parents. Once that weight was off his shoulders he was free of it and was worthy.
Yes, that’s the exact reason. Why would Thor be worthy for fighting? War is terrible not good. In the first Thor movie he was punished for being a spoiled child and went to FIGHT the Frost Giants. Odin was mad, hence why Thor was banished to Midgard (Earth). Thor gets there acting cocky when he sees it and tries to lift it, Mjölnir didn’t let Thor lift it. It wasn’t until Thor sacrificed himself for others was when Mjölnir saw him as worthy again
@@scavengerjedi16yup37 why would he? He was in a block of ice when it happened and all of the intel he had came from Black Widow, not necessarily first hand. He had no reason to connect the two.
When Cap picks up the hammer in Endgame, Thor immediately says "I knew it" so clearly Cap was worthy in Age of Ultron. That look of relief when Cap didn't lift it also backs that up a bit, cause essentially Thor knew he was about to be proven wrong but then Cap put it down and he is a master tactician I can assume he noticed Thors expression lol

If it is made for protection, and it is a way of life, and everyone adheres to that way, then yes: martial arts endgoal is to no longer be needed, because no one will need protection anymore
I think Captian became worthy when he dove on top of that grenade in The First Avenger. Even though it was a fake grenade, and his comrades were dicks to Steve in the beginning, he was willingly ready to give his life to save his comrades, proving that he's always been worthy
My favorite take is Steve became worthy alllllll the way back before he took the serum when he jumped on that Grenade. He was, without knowing it wasn’t live, willing to sacrifice his life to protect everyone present. Not just Carter, but even the jerk that bullied him the whole time. That’s when he became worthy. His fear wasn’t that there would be no fight, it was being alone. Everyone in his vision was from his original time (1930’s-40’s). There were people lying there with gunshot wounds and everything. He considered himself a “Man out of time” with no real place to belong, so while everyone else is dead or dies around him, he is left alone and without “the right partner”.
@gcasillas1213 Nope, the Russo brother's stated that in their heads, Cap has always been worthy, "but Cap’s sense of character and humility and, out of deference to Thor’s ego, Cap in that moment realizing he can move the hammer, decides not to." The quotation marks is their wording, and Kevin Feige came out and confirmed that to be true
He was worthy for the serum, but that was it. The scientist needed someone with a strong sense of honor and an innate goodness as he didn't want to create another Red Skull. The worthiness to wield Mjolnir is another matter entirely.
agreed. Maybe even before that. The fight in the alley and his willingness to enlist and very likely die in the war, just so he could do some good, may have made him worthy as well.
This honestly makes a lot of sense and if it’s not true that would suck because if the Marvel writers actually did that it just shows the small details and makes the films so much better, Little things like that go along way in storytelling I hope it’s true, But if not that would suck and it’s still very good storytelling on your side because it makes sooooo much sense.
Cap could have lifted it all along. In 'Age of Ultron,' he was faking it because he was a humble enough person that he didn't want to humiliate Thor for the sake of boosting his own ego. That humility, in turn, FURTHER confirmed why he is worthy.
While Rogers may always have been worthy to wield Mjolnir, he was not worthy to wield it at that moment for one specific reason. Rogers was not worthy to lift Mjolnir at the party because he was trying to do it for selfish reasons. It was for a harmless competition, but a competition nonetheless.
@Cole King that's not how it works though. if you can move it, you can lift it. otherwise it wouldn't budge at all. you can't be partially worthy. hence why Thor said in endgame "I knew it," because he knew if cap truly wasn't worthy, mjolnir wouldn't have moved at all.
Cap couldn't lift it, why would that embarrass Thor? Thor is a god with or without the hammer, he would be happy that his friend is worthy so he knows his circle is solid.
We discussed this years ago. At this point in the story Thor had started falling into his depression and Captain America knew this. He started to lift the hammer but sat it down because he knew if he did that it would be a hit to Thor's already depleating ego. This was confirmed when you hear Thor say "I knew it!" right before Captain nailed Thanos in the face with it....Welcome to the MCU there guy lol

@@fireproofart5526wrong. Tony’s parents died in like 91’ I think. And cap didn’t get out of the ice until like 2012 I think. So he had no knowledge of tony or his parents deaths. Once he was back into everything he probably asked what happened to all his old friends and coworkers and that’s probably when nick fury or someone knowledgeable told him, something, but not the truth. He never had any idea Bucky was alive much less that he killed Howard stark. And at the time he barely knew tony, it’s not like you just meet someone and say “hey btw did you know your parents are dead?” That doesn’t happen. Cap had no guilt and kept no secret. By chance he found out Howard was killed at some point in time. But he never knew Bucky was alive therefore he never knew who killed Tony’s parents. So when he says “I didn’t know it was him” he was telling the truth.
I think it's more than Thor suspected but didn't have his suspicions confirmed until Endgame. He saw the hammer move a bit in AoU and obviously freaked out. When Cap then says he can't do it, Thor is flooded with relief. I think on some level, he was well aware of the fact that the the hammer wouldn't have moved at all if he Cap wasnt worthy because he knew that you re either worth or you're not. . However, he was likely so relieved at the time that he probably wasn't able or willing to look at it objectively and admit this to himself. It also didn't help that almost straight after, the issue of Ultron appeared and that took up pretty much all of their focus. Perhaps Thor even convinced himself (either at the time or later) that maybe he had only "thought" he saw Mjolnir move but since Cap could not actually lift it, he was ablw ro how he this to an extent. However in Endgame, seeing it first hand, Thor clearly remembered back to that night and got the confirmation of something he'd always suspected at the time.
@@justinanderson2460 he wasn't freaked out he was disappointed. And he wasn't relieved afterwards he just covering his disappointment with relief. Cap was just too humble to lift it in AoU.
It’s pretty obvious he was already worthy. Even the way Steve laughed and gave up made it clear he just wanted to see if he could lift it, *barely* moved it to find out, then spared Thor’s concerns and feelings.
While Rogers may always have been worthy to wield Mjolnir, he was not worthy to wield it at that moment for one specific reason. Rogers was not worthy to lift Mjolnir at the party because he was trying to do it for selfish reasons. It was for a harmless competition, but a competition nonetheless.
He was worthy in Age of Ultron, he realized he could move it but didn't want to make the others who couldn't feel bad and also to spare Thor's feelings as well because it was so important to him
How fo you know did he said that the real reson was becoas cap had secret about tony becouse cap knew the killer of tony parents but he did not tell him or anyone so he was unworthy
@@photoeditor159 I disagree with that theory but it is a possibility. The issue is that we don't know when he learned about Bucky's involvement. Also, as I stated above, Steve cares about people's feelings; He wouldn't want to address it with Tony until he knew for certain what had happened and had a solution that did right by both
@@jrpotter9659rewatch the clip and you can see Thor in disbelief, then cap sits it back down. Then in end game the moment cap picks it up thor shouts “I knew it.” Cuz of that moment
As others have already said, there is no halfway worthy or almost worthy. You're either worthy or youre not. Kevin Fiege himself has stated that cap was worthy back then and knew it as soon as he touched the hammer, but he chose not to pick it up and pretend he wasn't worthy to save Thor from the potential embarrassment and potential emotional pain it might've caused him to know he wasn't the only one who was worthy.
He actually was worthy all along and that little lift was him actually realizing that he could pick it up and didn’t want to embarrass Thor so he just pretended like he couldn’t pick it up
I'm going to just offer a possibility. Cap wasn't just trying to spare Thor here. He was also taking one for the team. The others had already tried and failed. They were all looking to him for some kind of validation. We couldn't lift it, despite being super-powered, machine aided, on the good side, etc... But seeing genetically enhanced, shining beacon of goodness, Captain America fail to lift it, would have been an incredible relief.

Which lead him to hold Mjonier….
Cap's greatest fear wasn't that there wouldn't be anymore wars to fight in, it was that as a man out of place in time all that was left for him *was* being a soldier. That's why the vision was of a USO dance *_after_* the war, with Peggy and other couples talking about their futures together only to suddenly vanish leaving him all alone representing his time in the ice, while the rest of his generation went back to normal lives and had families he missed out and fears he'll never get that lost lifetime back.
Again, his problem is not that he always wanted war and fights, he never wanted war or fights, who tf would want them? His problem is that even tho he doesn’t want to fight he saw it as the only way to win, until he realizes and proves himself that there’s other peaceful ways to win, but then the Mjölnir’s only purpose is to be a weapon, because Thor is violent af in Infinity War and Endgame, so I the Mjölnir is kind of hypocrite lol, but this explanation is the one makes the most senses because of Thor 1
@@NocturnalAnimal14 no, he didn't become worthy he always was, it wasn't that he could only move it a little but rather he realized he could lift it and being the humble man he is chose not to. Cap has always preferred peaceful solutions while also being prepared for when peace isn't an option.
In that same elevator scene, in Winter Soldier, he asks if anyone wants to get out, basically saying he's willing to fight, but would rather they go peacefully
Cap was always worthy. He's so worthy that he realized that he could pick it up, Cap knew that picking up the hammer would have bruised Thor's ego and as a good leader he chose not to humiliate Thor by not picking it up.
Cap didn't lust for war, but for peace. Remember before he got strong he said to the scientist "I don't want to kill anyone". He merely lifted mjolnir enough to see if he could (no need to show off) he had no hesitation welding it in endgame because he knew for certain he was worthy.
I still believe he was worthy in Age, but chose not to move it. If you listen carefully it makes a scratching sound, I think that was Cap realizing he could move it, but chose not to to save his friends dignity.
I've never liked Feigi's reason for why Cap didn't lift the hammer, and think it was just something he made up on the spot to explain why Cap didn't lift the hammer in AoU. I prefer to think that the hammer being budged was a way for the movie to signal to the viewers that, while Cap wasn't worthy, he had the potential to be.
@@reecejohnson6357 You and I know that because we're both into comics but, the directors and writers of the movies still have to signal to the casual viewers that Captain America does have the potential to be worthy of wielding Thor's hammer.
@@allamericanslacker2378 I would disagree with the idea that he made it up on the spot. If you look back at the past movies before AoU, it makes sense. Thor has had problems with being worthy, it's something he holds close to his heart, hell that was a major part of his movie. If cap lifted the hammer right there after Thor was bragging about no one being worthy to lift it and ruling asguard, it would of hurt him in a personal way. Cap is a humble person and wouldn't do that to a friend, so he pretend he couldn't. It fits in line with the movies and characters personalities, but that's just my take on it.
I believe the hammer senses the reason why someone wants to lift it. Steve was worthy in Age of Ultron, but picking up as a party trick was not a just reason. I know a lot of people are saying that he didn't want to embarrass Thor, so he faked not being worthy. However, he was arguing just as fiercely as Tony Stark about Vision not counting because he was a machine. In Endgame, Steve was able to wield Mjolnir because he was fighting to save people's lives across the galaxy. I think at that moment, for that reason, even Tony could have been judged as worthy.
but the hammer is just an object that has a worthy spell on it, it's not a living organism that can sense the intentions in lifting it every time, even odin said it (not in the exact words but something between these lines ☺️) And on top of that if the hammer found you having a bad intention you wouldn't be able to lift it neither now or later, you are simply not worthy. I hope you understand my point cause i know my explanation sucks 😅😂

He didn't didn't lift it then because it could be a face loss for Thor"
She showed him the life he missed out on, his reward he could have had for his fight and he would never get there, because you can't go back in time... Until you can 😅
He always could, yet he is humble enough not to make Thor look bad. Him knowing was enough for him. And why he saved this for one moment of true badassery. Shit man, Thor said it himself. "I knew it!!!"
Captain America feared a life postwar because he had put soo much into fighting but he had no clue what he would be able to do if and when the war was done. When you’re a fighter you tend to get stuck in that realm of thinking Everything is a fight for you to conquer. What do you do when there is No More War?? That was what Captain America had to face in that moment.
Yeah Captain is just Humble and didnt want to take Thors thunder. And Thor knew it and became super appreciative of Captain after seeing that. He could of lifted the hammer right up if he wanted to.
A cool theory! However, the directors have stated that Cap was actually worthy in age of Ultron, as evidenced by him being able to move it back then. But he chose not to lift it out of humility and respect for Thor. This further emphasized by Thor exclaiming "I knew it!" when he sees Steve wield Mjolnir. He had seen him lift it and knew him to be worthy all along.
@@notproductiveproductions3504 it's shown in Thor love and Thunder. Thor commands mjolnir to always protect Jane, which inadvertently gives it a new enchantment. Jane doesn't necessarily need to be worthy right off the bat, because there is a second enchantment that let's her wield it. And by the end of the film, her sacrifice proves that she was also worthy all along.
I always thought it was because he finally felt at peace with the situation surrounding Bucky/Winter Soldier and Tony & his parents, which happened after Age of Ultron. And by the time he wielded Mjolnir, Cap and Tony had completely made amends.
I think Steve could lift the Hammer even back then in Age of Ultron. But decided against it to not humiliate Thor and this shows us just how worthy he truly is.
Captain knew he could lift it. He prob doesn't see the goal in lifting that hammer other than getting a ego lift. As a true leader and a captain nothing more satisfying than to see your members getting the glory and praise for their achievements. That would be the leader's achievement and putting his team first before himself.
I think cap was always worthy but in age of ultron thor said if you are worthy you shall become the king of asgard but cap didn't want to become the king of asgard as thor was in age of ultron and cap didn't have enough free time to be a king
I figured he moved it, then Mjolnir sensed this wielding was for nothing more than vanity and grounded. In Endgame the Cap had purpose for wielding Mjolnir outside of “oh lookie!”
I'm not sure about this. I mean, it would be a cool not to the comics but that's just it, this concept is something from the comics specifically. The first time anyone picks up Mjolnir, it's got to be for a worthy cause. Even with Thor himself, he struggled.for hundreds of years and got nowhere. . It was only after he had a truly worthy reason outside of his own vanity and in order to save someone he loved that he was able to pick it up. In that instance, he was so set on his cause that his vanity and such didn't even factor in and in fact, he wasn't even aware he'd finally managed to lift the hammer until AFTER he'd managed to save who he was trying to save. Only once they were safe did he realise he was still holding Mjolnir.
I always thought the reason was he couldn’t lift it was because he was holding on to the secret of Bucky killing Tony’s parents. So at the time, he wasn’t worthy. But after Steve told Tony, it made him worthy because he didn’t have that guilt in his heart anymore
I initially believed it was because of the secret cap hid from Tony about his parents, and he was able to wield it in Endgame because at that point, he had told Tony the truth and learned from those events.
No it was explained by the directors. You are either worthy or not worthy there's no in between. So him budging it in Age of Ultron shows he is worthy but he stopped. He went for the hammer in end game because he knew he could wield it and needed the extra power to stop Thanos from killing Thor
I think there were 2 reasons he didn’t lift the hammer the first time, he didn’t want to show up Thor and he wanted to keep it secret until he needed to use it
Capt was always worth because of how his drive was it was honest and pure, Chaput knew he could lift it but didn't want to embarrass Thor so he left it alone but Thor always knew

Ive heard most people argue that theres no halfway point with being able to lift the hammer either you can or cannot, they say the solw fact he could even move it slightlly at all means he was fully able to lift it, but simply chose not to out of kindness to thor, which is evident by the reaction and face he made when watching cap move the hammer, and then or course his reaction in endgame when he fully utilized it thor quite literally says "I knew it" confirming he himself also was thinking the same thing, that he knew fully well that cap was able to lift the hammer
captain knows he can lift it because of how light it is for him when he try but decided not to because he don't want to hurt thor's feelings. What a man👏🏻
As others have said, he simply chose not to cause Thor issues. It was a lack of humility, rather than too much desire to fight that caused Odin to send Thor to Earth and even then the MCU version does not completely lose his powers (str included) if away from the hammer too long. And Cap's dream was not fear about there being no war, but fear that he would never see the world he grew up in again, in particular, Peggy

@@Bezzerkus Cap knew bucky killed howard, he knew about it when he went to the old training camp where he trained in the past(also the old base of shield/hydra) with black widow
No, he didn't want to embarrass Thor. I mean if he picked up Mjolnir, Tony wouldn't think anything of it because he's known that Steve, at his court is a righteous man, probably free from hesitation and self-doubt. Tony tries to be the best he can be usually, but he is plagued with so much self-doubt and worry, he would have never been able to lift the hammer.
I always felt Cap was unworthy mainly because he knew Bucky killed Tony’s parents. And didn’t say anything, for who knows how long. He became worthy when he finally told Tony the truth.
When he went back in time and saw Peggy in the 70s and could have done something about what his heart always wanted but remained mission focus about restoring justice to Thanos’ heinous crime was an utterly selfless act that made him worthy
@@Quintos. fr tho, Cap was called selfish because of it 💀 dude like if he was real selfish he would literally drop bucky instantly he literally put his friendship with tony on the line just to protect his bestfriend
Doesn't wash. There is no kind of worthy, if Steve was unworthy Mjolnir wouldn't have moved an inch. But since it did, we know Steve was always worthy.

No, i will not. You are wrong about this "take". Steve was always worthy. Thor knew it. As he said in endgame when he lifted it. Call back to age of ultron
And the directors stated as such. You know, the people who worked on the age of ultron movie? So you're just defying facts at this point.
Either You can or Cannot!!
Kevin Fiege himself said that Cap is worthy to weild Mjonir in age of Ultron only... He didn't didn't lift it then because it could be a face loss for Thor
He was not fully worthy to pick up the hammer or wield it, but he did it in end game.
I sense a strong desire for fighting
@@bruno1 There is no such thing as “not fully worthy”. You’re worthy or you’re not worthy
@@bruno1 thats your opinion only
Bruno lol your wrong man the Russo brothers already said that cap didn’t lift it because he’s a good guy and he just simply didn’t want to embarrass Thor in front of everyone duuh
It's literally because Captain was too nice to embarrass Thor in front of everyone
yea really bad vid
Like in the film, when cap hold the hammer, Thor said, I knew it. Exactly means cap could hold the hammer
Yep
I don’t believe that at all I believe that Cap had always been worthy. He just pretended for Thor‘s sake.
@@gawainethefirst That would make the whole scene in Ultron and specially the one in End Game completely worthless. Because one comes from character progression, yours is pointless. Like what would be the point of including another scene saying "oh look guys, Captain America is a nice guy". We know that. You know what we don't know much about? His faults, which through brilliant writing, are demonstrated and not outright told.
Captain America was a man who willingly gave up his life to save the world from Red Skull during WW2. If that doesn't make a man worthy, then I don't know what does.
He was about to throw down with thanos whole army solo when strange showed up, he tightened his broken shield to his arm and was about to go down in a blaze of glory, he was definately worthy.
It takes a lot to be worthy.
Then in that case, Tony stark should be the worthiest due to having a family (wife and daughter) and still sacrifices himself simply bc strange told him there’s only 1 instance of them winning, so tony selflessly takes his life to save all that’s lost and bring them back
@@johnkieffer2880 I would say that he became worthy the moment he did sacrifice himself to save the universe. Before that though, I wouldn't say that he was worthy mainly because despite being a good man who did a lot of good things, he was also selfish which ironically is what makes Tony Stark....Tony Stark. Where as with Steve Rogers, he was Selfless in a lot of ways and did everything he did for the sake of others and not himself.
But didn't tell anything to Tony about his oarents and I think, that's the reason why he couldn't lift mjonir until endgame.
He could always lift it because as Erskine pointed out he is pure hearted.
More than that, he already did his 'die for the many' act like Thor did with the Destroyer when he crashed Red Skull's plane into the ice.
@@mnomadvfxor when he jumped on the grenade.
Woah
That is correct. Steve is worthy and he was from the very beginning. Without that, serum would make him a bad person. Dr Erskine said "Good becomes great. Bad becomes worse." Serum not only gives super strength, but also amplifies what's inside that person.
Mjolnir isn't about being pure hearted. It wants a hero - Cap was mostly worthy, but the hammer wouldn't accept him until he corrected himself a bit.
The hammer wants a pure hearted warrior "a man of focus and determination", likely one to protect others even at the cost of self sacrifice. Which Thor showed, which Captain America showed when he wouldn't give up even after knowing he's likely die against Thanos.
you know that cap could always hold it. it's just that he didn't want to make Thor look bad and when cap had to use the hammer in end game Thor Said "I knew it"
Agreed, you can either move it or not. If he made it move, even slightly he could have been able to pick it up. I think he didn't to not humiliate Thor.
I don't think Thor said that because he knew Cap was already worthy. I think he said it because he knew Cap had the potential to become worthy of the hammer.
He was worthy. The end.
Which was exactly why Cap was worthy ironically. Anyone worthy of the hammer would have no desire to take it from Thor, show him up, or use it for any reason other than necessity. He literally won by not playing.
exactly. there is no 50% worthy or 90% worthy. either you are worthy or you are not. captain was worthy in age of ultron.
Cap's worst fear had nothing to do with war. He was afraid that he missed out on living his own life, and in turn that he would never find love.
On the nose.
Exactly. He wasn’t “unworthy” because he wanted the war, nor did he like fighting. He only ever fought when he had to, usually in defense of the defenseless. That vision wasn’t his nightmare. It was his dream.. What he truly wanted all along, to live his life with the woman he loved. He knew it was wrong though, that it couldn’t be real, which is why he snapped out of it. 😢
Cap was always worthy. A truly pure soul.
He didn't want to kill anyone, he only wanted to do his duty.@@suchbrightdarkness
Captain knew he was able to lift the hammer, but he stayed humble. As a student of war, it's only best to stay humble among your friends. He didn't want to let them know he could. That's why Thor said I knew it!
Nah, he's simply overrated
@@DukeKaywhat are you talking about? Both Kevin Feige and the Russo brother said that Captain America has always been worthy but chose not to lift the hammer because he didn’t want to publicly embarrass Thor at their party
@@g.m5431 nahh he's overrated.
@@DukeKay if anyone is overrated, is Iron Man -_-
@user-qr7yz2wf9w I'm just saying 😂 because Iron Man is more to robotic power, but capt is mere human being not like wolverine. Idk where it's power coming from or what makes him immortal almost.
He was worthy even before he became captain America. Abraham Erskine knew it and that's why Steve became CAPTAIN AMERICA ❤
I believe The moment when he needed it was not in vain; which made him worthy
This analysis is 100 percent wrong. CAP was able to lift the hammer in Age of Ultron, he just was too nice to embarrass Thor in front of everyone. Even Thor knew it. He said so, in "Endgame" when he saw Cap wield it.
In fact, every piece of analysis was wrong from start to finish.
The Russo Bros said he was Always worthy. When It moved he realized he could do it, and didn't want to hurt Thor's feelings. Even Thor said "I Knew it!"
Thor knew Cap was worthy all along. The fact that he moved it a fraction of an inch and the look on Thor's face said it all.
In one iteration of Marvel comics, Cap and Beta Ray Bill were both considered more worth than Thor.
The very simple explanation can be , how Captain just middle of battle thought to attack Thanos using Thor hammer if he knew he couldn't lift it last time he didn't look shock too while using the hammer. Captain knew all along that he was always worthy and at last resort he finally used mjonir to save Thor's life.
While Rogers may always have been worthy to wield Mjolnir, he was not worthy to wield it at that moment for one specific reason. Rogers was not worthy to lift Mjolnir at the party because he was trying to do it for selfish reasons. It was for a harmless competition, but a competition nonetheless.
@@yatin9530 if you are worthy the hammer will let you know,it did the same thing with Jane foster by calling her to come to new Asgard.
@@Meowthix it was confirmed he could weird it Thor could as well that doesn’t make any sense
I think Cap realized he was able to move it but didn't want to send Thor into an existential crisis as he was still maturing at that time.
Bingo he didn't want to show he could.
And before anyone says anything against this claim, it was proved correct
Hence rendering the whole theory bullshit
And funny enough? Thor realized that Cap was worthy, hence the look on Thor's face. And in Endgame? Thor's exact words: "I knew it!"
Captain American was not able to lift Mjonier, because he kept a secret that Bucky killed Tony’s Parents. In Civil War, when confronted by Tony, Steve had to admit that he knew, that Bucky was his friend. When Steve admitted his guilt, and became truthful, he became worthy again. Which lead him to hold Mjonier….
A friend of mine once theorized that it was because of the circumstances under which they were trying to lift it. Because it was all on a bet/good fun and such, Mjolnir just gave Cap a little budge. Later, when the universe was at stake, it came to Cap in earnest because the need was there.
The hammer can't sense that. As mentioned before, you're either worthy or you aren't.
IMO, he was worthy the moment Pvt. Rogers jumped on the dummy grenade thinking he was saving everyone.
Cap is the leader. He needs to know what weapons he has at his disposal. He also needs his team at their best. He found out what he needed to know, and had no need to make it a show.
Kevin Fiege himself said Captain America could lift it during age of ultron. But he didn’t want to embarrass Thor. Which makes total sense. Cap is an amazing human being
Yes😊😊😊
Someone else said this, OP still didn't care lmao the guy's brain dead
It doesn't make sense. Cap would use hammer as advantage to fight Altron. Thor is God himself.
PLUS I don't think he could lift it. Otherwise he would gather thors power, remember a spell Odin made? If he was worthy, the moment he held it he would have received the powers. But he didn't.
@@vladimirmihai3198 Stormbreaker was not a thing back then there was only one hammer
EDIT: My point is if Thor was able he didn't want to take it from Thor becuase that is his only weapon
Also Caprain America didn't want to embarass Thor in the room
Cap most likely recognized the frailty in Thor and didn't want to show him up. He was truly humble, which is exactly what made him worthy!
I believe this was actually stated to be the case
I agree
In Avengers when black widow told cap to sit this one out that they are God's cap answer was God's don't look like that where he comes from.And he withstood the the blow from the her creating a sonic fallout

While Rogers may always have been worthy to wield Mjolnir, he was not worthy to wield it at that moment for one specific reason. Rogers was not worthy to lift Mjolnir at the party because he was trying to do it for selfish reasons. It was for a harmless competition, but a competition nonetheless.
No, Steve could always wield it, he chose not to so he didn't take away Thor's moment. Thor even later on says "I knew it!" when he does lift up Mjonir.
He couldn’t wield it cause he was holding on to the truth about Bucky and Tony’s parents. Once that weight was off his shoulders he was free of it and was worthy.
Yes, that’s the exact reason. Why would Thor be worthy for fighting? War is terrible not good. In the first Thor movie he was punished for being a spoiled child and went to FIGHT the Frost Giants. Odin was mad, hence why Thor was banished to Midgard (Earth). Thor gets there acting cocky when he sees it and tries to lift it, Mjölnir didn’t let Thor lift it. It wasn’t until Thor sacrificed himself for others was when Mjölnir saw him as worthy again
That's precisely what I believe too
@@scavengerjedi16yup37he didn't know the truth about Tony's parents until Civil War. He didn't access the Shield files himself.
@@natebaxter9551 the thing is, when meets Bucky again, I’m sure he had some idea of what was going on
@@scavengerjedi16yup37 why would he? He was in a block of ice when it happened and all of the intel he had came from Black Widow, not necessarily first hand. He had no reason to connect the two.
When Cap picks up the hammer in Endgame, Thor immediately says "I knew it" so clearly Cap was worthy in Age of Ultron. That look of relief when Cap didn't lift it also backs that up a bit, cause essentially Thor knew he was about to be proven wrong but then Cap put it down and he is a master tactician I can assume he noticed Thors expression lol

I think Captian became worthy when he dove on top of that grenade in The First Avenger. Even though it was a fake grenade, and his comrades were dicks to Steve in the beginning, he was willingly ready to give his life to save his comrades, proving that he's always been worthy
He was always worthy, he would have jumped on that grenade as soon as he knew what it could do, regardless of when.
My favorite take is Steve became worthy alllllll the way back before he took the serum when he jumped on that Grenade. He was, without knowing it wasn’t live, willing to sacrifice his life to protect everyone present. Not just Carter, but even the jerk that bullied him the whole time. That’s when he became worthy.
His fear wasn’t that there would be no fight, it was being alone. Everyone in his vision was from his original time (1930’s-40’s). There were people lying there with gunshot wounds and everything. He considered himself a “Man out of time” with no real place to belong, so while everyone else is dead or dies around him, he is left alone and without “the right partner”.
No his worst fear was missing the date with Peggy Carter he could always lift the hammer just didn't cuz he's humble and a good person
His worst fear was his own PTSD.
exactly.
I disagree, I think the reason he was able to lift it was because he was no longer holding onto the secret of Bucky killing Tony's parents.
@gcasillas1213 Nope, the Russo brother's stated that in their heads, Cap has always been worthy, "but Cap’s sense of character and humility and, out of deference to Thor’s ego, Cap in that moment realizing he can move the hammer, decides not to." The quotation marks is their wording, and Kevin Feige came out and confirmed that to be true
I always thought it was because he kept the 'Bucky' thing from Tony Stark.
He became worthy in his film when he dived on the grenade as he was by far the weakest but made the biggest sacrifice
He was worthy for the serum, but that was it. The scientist needed someone with a strong sense of honor and an innate goodness as he didn't want to create another Red Skull. The worthiness to wield Mjolnir is another matter entirely.
@@Soron661 nope
@@mattcaesar5781 normally I would refute such a worthless answer, but in this instance it was worthy.
agreed. Maybe even before that. The fight in the alley and his willingness to enlist and very likely die in the war, just so he could do some good, may have made him worthy as well.
he was always worthy
This honestly makes a lot of sense and if it’s not true that would suck because if the Marvel writers actually did that it just shows the small details and makes the films so much better, Little things like that go along way in storytelling I hope it’s true, But if not that would suck and it’s still very good storytelling on your side because it makes sooooo much sense.
Thanks for reminding me of a time when I cared about any of this...
Cap could have lifted it all along. In 'Age of Ultron,' he was faking it because he was a humble enough person that he didn't want to humiliate Thor for the sake of boosting his own ego. That humility, in turn, FURTHER confirmed why he is worthy.
While Rogers may always have been worthy to wield Mjolnir, he was not worthy to wield it at that moment for one specific reason. Rogers was not worthy to lift Mjolnir at the party because he was trying to do it for selfish reasons. It was for a harmless competition, but a competition nonetheless.
@Cole King that's not how it works though. if you can move it, you can lift it. otherwise it wouldn't budge at all. you can't be partially worthy. hence why Thor said in endgame "I knew it," because he knew if cap truly wasn't worthy, mjolnir wouldn't have moved at all.
Cap couldn't lift it, why would that embarrass Thor? Thor is a god with or without the hammer, he would be happy that his friend is worthy so he knows his circle is solid.
@@Meowthix nope... the creators said he was able to move it. The hammer clearly budges. Either it moves or it doesn't.
@@lonebanana6753 exactly worthiness is absolute, it either is or isn't :) 👍
Actually it was confirmed that Cap was worthy all along, he just didn’t wanna embarrass Thor. Which is why he is worthy.
Thank you, it was that simple too I’m glad somebody got it right and did they homework 👍🏽
He was worthy because he was a good and honest man.
He is a super hero he doesn't want to hurt bad guys.
We discussed this years ago. At this point in the story Thor had started falling into his depression and Captain America knew this. He started to lift the hammer but sat it down because he knew if he did that it would be a hit to Thor's already depleating ego. This was confirmed when you hear Thor say "I knew it!" right before Captain nailed Thanos in the face with it....Welcome to the MCU there guy lol
Virgin alert!
Exactly an that I knew it was soo nice an sweet from Thor

@@fireproofart5526wrong. Tony’s parents died in like 91’ I think. And cap didn’t get out of the ice until like 2012 I think. So he had no knowledge of tony or his parents deaths. Once he was back into everything he probably asked what happened to all his old friends and coworkers and that’s probably when nick fury or someone knowledgeable told him, something, but not the truth. He never had any idea Bucky was alive much less that he killed Howard stark. And at the time he barely knew tony, it’s not like you just meet someone and say “hey btw did you know your parents are dead?” That doesn’t happen. Cap had no guilt and kept no secret. By chance he found out Howard was killed at some point in time. But he never knew Bucky was alive therefore he never knew who killed Tony’s parents. So when he says “I didn’t know it was him” he was telling the truth.
Umm the director has already said Cap could lift Mjolnir in AoU, but didn't to spare Thor's feelings
Yep
If he tells you the truth why you would comment and while you comment this video will run 3 times in background 🥲
Thank youu
True
Lol that makes no sense. The Russo brothers only made that up because of the fan reaction during endgame. Just listen to the video. It makes sense.
Because he is pure of heart
Cap always had the power to lift. You’re either worthy or unworthy, there’s no in between
Nah, Marvel already said that Cap knew he could lifted Mjonir at the time but he didn't do it cuz he did not want to hurt his friend's feeling.
he was worthy in AOU and THOR knew it but didn't say anything until ENDGAME
I think it's more than Thor suspected but didn't have his suspicions confirmed until Endgame. He saw the hammer move a bit in AoU and obviously freaked out. When Cap then says he can't do it, Thor is flooded with relief. I think on some level, he was well aware of the fact that the the hammer wouldn't have moved at all if he Cap wasnt worthy because he knew that you re either worth or you're not.
.
However, he was likely so relieved at the time that he probably wasn't able or willing to look at it objectively and admit this to himself. It also didn't help that almost straight after, the issue of Ultron appeared and that took up pretty much all of their focus. Perhaps Thor even convinced himself (either at the time or later) that maybe he had only "thought" he saw Mjolnir move but since Cap could not actually lift it, he was ablw ro how he this to an extent. However in Endgame, seeing it first hand, Thor clearly remembered back to that night and got the confirmation of something he'd always suspected at the time.
@@justinanderson2460 he wasn't freaked out he was disappointed. And he wasn't relieved afterwards he just covering his disappointment with relief. Cap was just too humble to lift it in AoU.
When steve jumped onto that grenade, he became worthy.
It’s pretty obvious he was already worthy. Even the way Steve laughed and gave up made it clear he just wanted to see if he could lift it, *barely* moved it to find out, then spared Thor’s concerns and feelings.
The director said he was worthy the whole time he just didn't lift it to save face for thor. He's that good a dude.

@@photoeditor159 I disagree with that theory but it is a possibility. The issue is that we don't know when he learned about Bucky's involvement.

As others have already said, there is no halfway worthy or almost worthy. You're either worthy or youre not.

Alot of people assume that being worthy means pure of heart but it doesn't it means having a heart of a warrior while knowing when to be humble
He actually was worthy all along and that little lift was him actually realizing that he could pick it up and didn’t want to embarrass Thor so he just pretended like he couldn’t pick it up

I'm going to just offer a possibility. Cap wasn't just trying to spare Thor here. He was also taking one for the team. The others had already tried and failed.

Cap's greatest fear wasn't that there wouldn't be anymore wars to fight in, it was that as a man out of place in time all that was left for him *was* being a soldier.
That's why the vision was of a USO dance *_after_* the war, with Peggy and other couples talking about their futures together only to suddenly vanish leaving him all alone representing his time in the ice, while the rest of his generation went back to normal lives and had families he missed out and fears he'll never get that lost lifetime back.
Again, his problem is not that he always wanted war and fights, he never wanted war or fights, who tf would want them? His problem is that even tho he doesn’t want to fight he saw it as the only way to win, until he realizes and proves himself that there’s other peaceful ways to win, but then the Mjölnir’s only purpose is to be a weapon, because Thor is violent af in Infinity War and Endgame, so I the Mjölnir is kind of hypocrite lol, but this explanation is the one makes the most senses because of Thor 1
@@NocturnalAnimal14 no, he didn't become worthy he always was, it wasn't that he could only move it a little but rather he realized he could lift it and being the humble man he is chose not to. Cap has always preferred peaceful solutions while also being prepared for when peace isn't an option.

I still believe he was worthy in Age, but chose not to move it. If you listen carefully it makes a scratching sound, I think that was Cap realizing he could move it, but chose not to to save his friends dignity.
I've never liked Feigi's reason for why Cap didn't lift the hammer, and think it was just something he made up on the spot to explain why Cap didn't lift the hammer in AoU. I prefer to think that the hammer being budged was a way for the movie to signal to the viewers that, while Cap wasn't worthy, he had the potential to be.

@@allamericanslacker2378 I would disagree with the idea that he made it up on the spot. If you look back at the past movies before AoU, it makes sense. Thor has had problems with being worthy, it's something he holds close to his heart, hell that was a major part of his movie. If cap lifted the hammer right there after Thor was bragging about no one being worthy to lift it and ruling asguard, it would of hurt him in a personal way. Cap is a humble person and wouldn't do that to a friend, so he pretend he couldn't. It fits in line with the movies and characters personalities, but that's just my take on it.
I believe the hammer senses the reason why someone wants to lift it. Steve was worthy in Age of Ultron, but picking up as a party trick was not a just reason. I know a lot of people are saying that he didn't want to embarrass Thor, so he faked not being worthy. However, he was arguing just as fiercely as Tony Stark about Vision not counting because he was a machine.
In Endgame, Steve was able to wield Mjolnir because he was fighting to save people's lives across the galaxy. I think at that moment, for that reason, even Tony could have been judged as worthy.
i like to think they were just joking around when they were talking about the hammer and vision and the elevator
but the hammer is just an object that has a worthy spell on it, it's not a living organism that can sense the intentions in lifting it every time, even odin said it (not in the exact words but something between these lines ☺️)
And on top of that if the hammer found you having a bad intention you wouldn't be able to lift it neither now or later, you are simply not worthy.
I hope you understand my point cause i know my explanation sucks 😅😂

He always could, yet he is humble enough not to make Thor look bad. Him knowing was enough for him. And why he saved this for one moment of true badassery. Shit man, Thor said it himself. "I knew it!!!"
Captain America feared a life postwar because he had put soo much into fighting but he had no clue what he would be able to do if and when the war was done. When you’re a fighter you tend to get stuck in that realm of thinking Everything is a fight for you to conquer. What do you do when there is No More War?? That was what Captain America had to face in that moment.
Yeah Captain is just Humble and didnt want to take Thors thunder. And Thor knew it and became super appreciative of Captain after seeing that. He could of lifted the hammer right up if he wanted to.
He's been worthy. He just didn't want to embarrass Thor
A cool theory! However, the directors have stated that Cap was actually worthy in age of Ultron, as evidenced by him being able to move it back then. But he chose not to lift it out of humility and respect for Thor. This further emphasized by Thor exclaiming "I knew it!" when he sees Steve wield Mjolnir. He had seen him lift it and knew him to be worthy all along.
This creates a plot hole: what made Jane worthy all of a sudden?
@@notproductiveproductions3504 it's shown in Thor love and Thunder. Thor commands mjolnir to always protect Jane, which inadvertently gives it a new enchantment. Jane doesn't necessarily need to be worthy right off the bat, because there is a second enchantment that let's her wield it. And by the end of the film, her sacrifice proves that she was also worthy all along.
@@notproductiveproductions3504 identity politics.
He couldn’t lift the hammer in age of ultron because he knew about Tony Stark’s father being killed in Winter soldier
"Captain America...God's righteous man! Pretending you could LIVE without a war." Ultron
I always thought it was because he finally felt at peace with the situation surrounding Bucky/Winter Soldier and Tony & his parents, which happened after Age of Ultron. And by the time he wielded Mjolnir, Cap and Tony had completely made amends.
You were right
Completely correct.
he became worthy after he told tony about his parents death as he was lying to one of his friends.
I think Steve could lift the Hammer even back then in Age of Ultron.
But decided against it to not humiliate Thor and this shows us just how worthy he truly is.
Captain knew he could lift it. He prob doesn't see the goal in lifting that hammer other than getting a ego lift. As a true leader and a captain nothing more satisfying than to see your members getting the glory and praise for their achievements. That would be the leader's achievement and putting his team first before himself.
I think cap was always worthy but in age of ultron thor said if you are worthy you shall become the king of asgard but cap didn't want to become the king of asgard as thor was in age of ultron and cap didn't have enough free time to be a king
I figured he moved it, then Mjolnir sensed this wielding was for nothing more than vanity and grounded. In Endgame the Cap had purpose for wielding Mjolnir outside of “oh lookie!”
I'm not sure about this. I mean, it would be a cool not to the comics but that's just it, this concept is something from the comics specifically. The first time anyone picks up Mjolnir, it's got to be for a worthy cause. Even with Thor himself, he struggled.for hundreds of years and got nowhere.
.
It was only after he had a truly worthy reason outside of his own vanity and in order to save someone he loved that he was able to pick it up. In that instance, he was so set on his cause that his vanity and such didn't even factor in and in fact, he wasn't even aware he'd finally managed to lift the hammer until AFTER he'd managed to save who he was trying to save. Only once they were safe did he realise he was still holding Mjolnir.
Cap could always move it. He chose not to in order to not show up his friend.
Because he’s Cap.
I always thought the reason was he couldn’t lift it was because he was holding on to the secret of Bucky killing Tony’s parents. So at the time, he wasn’t worthy. But after Steve told Tony, it made him worthy because he didn’t have that guilt in his heart anymore
Brooo......best detail Ever .....❤❤❤......thise is a perfect resion
I initially believed it was because of the secret cap hid from Tony about his parents, and he was able to wield it in Endgame because at that point, he had told Tony the truth and learned from those events.
No it was explained by the directors. You are either worthy or not worthy there's no in between. So him budging it in Age of Ultron shows he is worthy but he stopped. He went for the hammer in end game because he knew he could wield it and needed the extra power to stop Thanos from killing Thor
@@anthonytrujillo7971 like imagine thinking Cap would go for a long shot in that moment instead of just running at Thanos. He had a plan
@@anthonytrujillo7971 that’s one reason I never understand the people who say Cap wasn’t worthy in AoU
I think there were 2 reasons he didn’t lift the hammer the first time, he didn’t want to show up Thor and he wanted to keep it secret until he needed to use it
he was worthy in AOU he was just humble and acted like he couldnt
It shows maturity. Being able to fight, and avoid conflict, is being mature. Avoid being mature and there will be conflict. You'll have to fight.
Capt was always worth because of how his drive was it was honest and pure, Chaput knew he could lift it but didn't want to embarrass Thor so he left it alone but Thor always knew
Captain American was not able to lift Mjonier, because he kept a secret that Bucky killed Tony’s Parents. In Civil War, when confronted by Tony, Steve had to admit that he knew, that Bucky was his friend. When Steve admitted his guilt, and became truthful, he became worthy again. Which lead him to hold Mjonier….
@@fireproofart5526wrong. Tony’s parents died in like 91’ I think. And cap didn’t get out of the ice until like 2012 I think. So he had no knowledge of tony or his parents deaths. Once he was back into everything he probably asked what happened to all his old friends and coworkers and that’s probably when nick fury or someone knowledgeable told him, something, but not the truth. He never had any idea Bucky was alive much less that he killed Howard stark. And at the time he barely knew tony, it’s not like you just meet someone and say “hey btw did you know your parents are dead?” That doesn’t happen. Cap had no guilt and kept no secret. By chance he found out Howard was killed at some point in time. But he never knew Bucky was alive therefore he never knew who killed Tony’s parents. So when he says “I didn’t know it was him” he was telling the truth.
When cap wield mjolnir in the endgame...it was one of the most badass and satisfying moments of MCU. Chills and Goosebumps all over!! ❤️
Captain America when he pulls the hammer towards him: Like whats up danger?
Ive heard most people argue that theres no halfway point with being able to lift the hammer either you can or cannot, they say the solw fact he could even move it slightlly at all means he was fully able to lift it, but simply chose not to out of kindness to thor, which is evident by the reaction and face he made when watching cap move the hammer, and then or course his reaction in endgame when he fully utilized it thor quite literally says "I knew it" confirming he himself also was thinking the same thing, that he knew fully well that cap was able to lift the hammer
I thought it was because he knew about Bucky killing Tony’s parents and didn’t tell him
anatoly, the gym cleaning powerlifter, should've made a cameo...where he's cleaning the table and just moves the hammer
Beta Ray Bill was so worthy Odin made him his own.
Right that would of been funny
It took fighting his friends and watching half the world disappear for Cap to learn.
captain knows he can lift it because of how light it is for him when he try but decided not to because he don't want to hurt thor's feelings. What a man👏🏻
Nahhhh!!! The enchantment is broken. Why are you taking it so seriously!?
And who told you that?
But that hammer is from Thor dark world where Odin is still alive so it still has the enchantment
The enchantment was never broken
@@bruno1 I think Pool Kool saw Thor 4 not properly.
@@DestroyerThedefender when Odin died the enchantment went away and that’s why hela was able to keep mjölnir from returning to Thor
Cap: That's My Secret, Bruno. I Was Always Worthy😂
He's worsthy but not always worsthy lol
@@hongly.6743 Ugh. you obviously didn't get the reference
As others have said, he simply chose not to cause Thor issues. It was a lack of humility, rather than too much desire to fight that caused Odin to send Thor to Earth and even then the MCU version does not completely lose his powers (str included) if away from the hammer too long.
And Cap's dream was not fear about there being no war, but fear that he would never see the world he grew up in again, in particular, Peggy
Tbh this makes more sense than them saying he was worthy in AOU
He is Pure of Heart

@@Bezzerkus Cap knew bucky killed howard, he knew about it when he went to the old training camp where he trained in the past(also the old base of shield/hydra) with black widow
@@oolongTea295 no, he didnt, nothing in the film led you to that conclusion. And that program didnt specify bucky killing howard either
Well, as we have noticed in MCU that cap and Thor are good friends. Cap just does not want to insult Thor because that is who he is
He was being a gentleman. He didn't want to embarrass his other teammates because none of them besides THOR was actually worthy.
No, he didn't want to embarrass Thor. I mean if he picked up Mjolnir, Tony wouldn't think anything of it because he's known that Steve, at his court is a righteous man, probably free from hesitation and self-doubt. Tony tries to be the best he can be usually, but he is plagued with so much self-doubt and worry, he would have never been able to lift the hammer.
The way Wanda slightly tilted her head, man she so beautiful and deadly!
I always felt Cap was unworthy mainly because he knew Bucky killed Tony’s parents. And didn’t say anything, for who knows how long. He became worthy when he finally told Tony the truth.
When he went back in time and saw Peggy in the 70s and could have done something about what his heart always wanted but remained mission focus about restoring justice to Thanos’ heinous crime was an utterly selfless act that made him worthy
No he was always worthy
He was always worthy.
He was able to lift it in all along he just is not a show off... that's why Thor said "I knew it"
My favorite explanation is still that he somehow knew that Bucky killed Tony's parents and kept it a secret.
So saying hey Tony guess what bucky totally killed your parents. What would that solve? That has nothing to do with anything
@@Quintos. fr tho, Cap was called selfish because of it 💀 dude like if he was real selfish he would literally drop bucky instantly he literally put his friendship with tony on the line just to protect his bestfriend
I think it's because since he felt guilty about not telling tony and once it all came out and tony forgave him it made the guilt go away
Doesn't wash. There is no kind of worthy, if Steve was unworthy Mjolnir wouldn't have moved an inch. But since it did, we know Steve was always worthy.
I thought the reason he couldn't initially was because he knew Bucky killed Tony's parents. 🤔🤔🤔🤔
It's true I also believe don't listen him.
He tried to lift the hammer BEFORE Wanda showed him his fear
