Hah, a comment I posted on Imgur got the most replies I've ever gotten and the 4th most non-chain-post upvotes. It went like this...

My comment to the response picture:
In my experience, the answer is "I want you to want what I want when I want it without being told what I want or when I want it."
390 upvotes and 16 replies, most in agreement, one or two of the "He knows! GET HIM!" vein.
And yes, I basically dragged that sentence out of Pauline verbatim one night over the course of a 3 hour fight. My response at the time was "And do you not see how insanely unreasonable that is?!"

I want this to be my new 'NOPE.' gif.

I really, really, really liked that no one but Thor could lift it in the movie. I always hated when some new writer thought the coolest wowie zowie thing they could do was have X lift Mjolnir. It's like how every vampire author thinks they're the first one to make their vampires impervious to sunlight...
I could see how Cap would be worthy to wield Mjolnir
Yup. So have several others.
Keep in mind, though, that the enchantment states it allows anyone to pick up the hammer who Odin would deem worthy. At times, that has meant that Thor himself could not wield it.
EDIT: Apparently Thor can "deputize" people to be able to wield the hammer if he so wishes.

Yes... that.. was basically the entire premise of the first Thor movie.

Motha fuckin DEADPOOL was worthy of Mjolnir. Deadpool.
Ah well, TIL that the MCU movies are "Earth 199999."
The only two that are real "WTF" ones for me are Wade Wilson (Deadpool) and Hank Pym. No, I'm sorry, just fucking no. Deadpool because he's a deranged (but hilarious) anti-hero, and Hank Pym because he's an asshole with a massive inferiority complex.

I don't know what that means, actually. I guess... like, 616 is the main continuity, and everything else is an "alternate" continuity?
Anyway, Deadpool as a character is a humorous deconstruction of the 90's violent ninja anti-hero type that Image Comics in particular couldn't get enough of, even though he started out as a completely straight version of it. But that doesn't change the fact that Deadpool is gleefully anti-heroic, rather than a classic hero. It'd be much like if Wolverine or the Punisher were to wield Mjolnir - it's just wrong.

I just learned from reading that wiki that yes, Earth 616 is the "primary" comics continuity, and as I mentioned, the MCU movie universe is Earth 199999. Incidentally, you and I live in Earth 1218.

Does that mean it's not the Mjolnir from the 616 universe, either?

That's correct, apparently that entire storyline was contained in Earth 90211. Perhaps that universe's rules governing Mjolnir are more... lax.

The listing for Hank Pym is complete bullshit. Pym didn't pick up the real thing. Earth 22020 "Odin takes away Thor's hammer, and gives each of the Avengers their own hammer to further discipline Thor."
You're welcome.
Sweet, sweet relief!

I have those same shears!

Hey, that was my bit!
