    Everything is ok, nobody is attacking you or your opinion. I just wanted to get some clarification.

    My personal take on it is that Odin set the criteria, but Mjolnir itself decides who fits it.

    Do we know what OG Nick Fury whispered into Thor's ear, to make him lose his worthiness?

    Thanks! We’re pretty excited. Nervous as all get out. But excited.

    Every movie can wait, as far as I'm concerned. There is not a film that I go "I need to see that in theaters." If I go it's a shared experienced with me and my family. So, yeah, saving a few bucks? Absolutely.

    You can buy a secondhand flatscreen for the bathroom with how much it costs to take three kids and a spouse to the movies these days (including food, transit and parking).

    It was how a villain was right. Thor has defeated him and he told him him something about how the Asguardians were wrong and would lead to their own destruction.

    Which Carol is worthy?

    OG 1980s Carol?

    Brainwashed Kree Carol.

    End credits Hybrid Kree/Human Carol with some residual pesky unactivated Manchurian programming?

    I thought it was: “You see, this profession is filled to the brim with unrealistic motherfuckers. Motherfuckers who thought their ass would age like wine.”

    That or hamburgers being the cornerstone of a nutritious breakfast.

    I would say they follow a formula in the sense that most action movies follow a specific formula. There's a great timeline of the formula somewhere on the web which details down to the the minute each step of the movie and then shows a number of movies that follow it.

    James Patterson has done pretty well. As has Dan Brown.

    Does the same rule apply to Stormbringer?

    No.

    Beta-Ray Bill was already as strong or stronger than Thor, so the power of Thor was redundant, and resulted in little more than a costume change.

    What Bill got out of the Hammer other than the super powers attached to the hammer, is the reversal of the eugenic supersoldier process that his own people performed on him, turning Bill into an ugly inalien horse faced monster.

    So, Bill got "Whosever wields this stick, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Donald Blake."

    :)

    Bill also got Sif. ;)

    She loved him because he was Honorable and noble.

    Although, even in his basic state, Bill is so alien (in appearance) that his concept of beauty would not regard Sif as attractive, and vice versus from her perspective too.

    Soulmates, who vomit if they get a good look at one another.

    (They make love in the dark?)

    Simonson was cagey in the 80s about how far their relationship, Bill and Sif, went physically, because good girls don't lay with horses, even though they were living together on his ship in deep space.

    Breaker.

    And no, the enchantment was only put on Mjölnir just before Odin threw it into the Bifrost, hence the triquetra appearing on it's surface to acknowledge the new order before disappearing again.

    Otherwise there's no way in Hel (hah) Hela wielded it as she did for eons before Odin did as per the mural in Ragnarok.

    The worthiness is only since he went to Earth so he could pick it up again, and was apparently never removed after. Something Banner really weirdly forgot when he *saw* Vision pick it up in Age of Ultron, then yells at Tony for losing another 'murder bot' in Infinity War.

    Stormbreaker is at factory settings, abilities only, no restrictions.

    You misheard the line. Banner says 'Super-bot' not 'murder-bot'.

    Nope.

    They are no more like a silent movie than any other modern film. I say this as the owner of quite a few silent films.

    Alright, they had Chaplin. Downey played Chaplin. Therefore, Chaplin is Iron Man. Since Chaplin is iron Man and Chaplin is a silent film actor, primarily, Iron Man is primarily silent.

    Sure the logic is cracked but so is the logic of many of these films.

    They deliver the guys in funny suits punching other guys in funny suits just the way I like as reliably as the Keystone Cops do pratfalls.

    "I like it" is a good reason for watching a movie, but it's not a magic incantation to ward off deserved criticism nor does it make what's not so into the truth.
