In Marvel's Avengers Endgame we learned that Captain America is worthy of Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. That is a BIG revelation and it made me wonder - who else is worthy? The scene in Age of Ultron made it seem like no one else was worthy but I believe that over the course of the last few film, that answer is no longer correct. Who is worthy? Time to find out!

  • @ujoupe3041
    Groot is definitely worthy by these criteria, he sacrificed himself in the first guardians of the Galaxy movie and sacrificed his arm for Stormbreaker. And he is obviously not seeking violence.
  • @miraiii8761
    Keanu Reeves: Lifts Mjolnir Mjolnir: I'm still worthy
  • @sethmoore606
    I think a big thing to consider would be Thanos’ elimination of the dwarves (minus Dinklage). In that moment I would argue he strayed from his goal of “half the population without prejudice” and pursued violence instead. Thoughts?
  • @deyo286
    I thought Scott lang would be an obvious choice He has made sacrifices,He doesn't resort to violence first. He's perfect.
  • @Me-zl7mu
    I love how every other person who's worthy to lift the hammer Except Capt & Thor Is Dead
  • @johnkeller6752
    All endgame theories wrong. Matpat makes another endgame theory. Thanos: You could not live with your own failure, where did that bring you? Back to me.
  • @yesyes-om1po
    13:18, however by taking on that burden, he chose to do so because of his concern for his friend's lives. His exposure to gamma radiation made him feel confident that he would better endure the damage caused by the gauntlet, and he was indeed correct, as we later see with Stark.
  • @guyr3618
    Yeah, it was real selfless when he replaced Nebula's body parts with machinery against her will.
  • @TheREALBOJACK
    Thanos: *Makes stone pickaxe in Minecraft* Thanos: "I use the stones to destroy the stones..."
  • Movie thanos:i will sacrifice everything for the good of the universe Comic thanos:i will kill everyone to date a girl
  • I think the only reason Bruce can't lift the hammer is because his soul is intertwined with the Hulk. Also, he wasn't being arrogant, he was just positive that the gamma radiation that Bruce/Hulk is made of would be able to fight off the power of the stones.
  • @SocialistStrike
    "It's like I was made for this." Seemed more like a line Banner-Hulk was telling himself to psyche up. He wasn't really thinking that he would get out of the snap without a scratch. I think that was an attempt at sacrifice.

    Age of ultron. Cap: Moves the hammer Thor: Heavy Breathing
  • @ADespairBoi
    Matpat- proves Captain Marvel isn't worthy Everyone liked that
  • @NoMercy13567
    Coming back to this and realizing in the clip where Cap tried to lift the hammer you can see that he does let go of the hammer as it budges. That way he doesn’t pick it up and it looks like he is just getting a different grip on the hammer
  • @srthebox4946
    There’s actually a moment during the final fight where mjolnir was flying around and thanos tries to grab it but mjolnir avoids thanos’s hand
  • @Jordan-cs6bn
    Literally not a single soul in the universe: Thanos: YOU ARE BEING RESCUED. PLEASE DO NOT RESIST
  • Thanos definitely isn't worthy and Matpat said it himself: he sacrifices himself and “Those He Cares For Most” He's sacrificing what isn't his to give up and he starts by taking it by force so he can do it anyway
