Remember how Disney did two whole franchises in a row where they let the popular indie director destroy the hero's legacy weapon and have a climactic scene where they realize they didn't need it, then in the next film they built a bullshit new weapon?4 https://twitter.com/hiddlesgold/status/1245554212416749569 …

Remember furthermore how in both franchises, not only did they have a bullshit new weapon, but then they brought back the exact original weapon with bullshit so a DIFFERENT hero character could use it for applause?

Ok, but Thor's relationship to Mjolnir is explicitly pointed out as rather more than *just* a power source, and is imo a lot better. also, bluntly, Power of Heart don't kill people, use the best weapon you got for that situation. Thor's not gonna go Goku & take levels in Monk.

Uhhh... the line in Ragnarok specifically says Mjolnir was intended as training wheels to limit his power The main thing Mjolnir does, in fact, is serve as a way to take his power away and give it to someone else ("Whosoever lifts this hammer...")

The hammer being destroyed means he can no longer be put on probation, his power is his and his alone, he's not a man with a magic hammer but a god, etc It's not subtle

You're missing my point. Part of the draw of Mjolnir, emotionally, for Thor is he has an externalized judge of his own merit as a person.

Well yeah, and the training wheels coming off means he doesn't need that anymore Children need their parents to tell them when they're doing right and wrong, adults have to do that for themselves

Admittedly this is more of a criticism of Infinity War than Endgame, and I don't mind the moment of "I'm still worthy" in Endgame

Yeah, it's more I think Endgame works well. And that honestly I think a weapon suits his iconography more than generic Energy Blasts.
