I thought that was oddly affecting, even though a lot of people would call it a plot hole The Mjolnir-judging-him-unworthy thing was originally because of that self-indulgent lazy douchebag streak he showed off in Thor 1

I really, really liked it. I remember people laughing uproariously at him saying he was having a panic attack and feeling more alone in a crowded theater than I do in my bedroom

See the entire arc of both Joel and Ellie in the TLOU games, with the watch breaking symbolizing the moment that Joel can never move forward from which means Ellie can never move forward from it which means the world can never move forward from it. A trauma cascade

It's a been a thing for a long time The broken watch inherited from the dad ("Tell my son this was the moment his father died") is a thing in Pan's Labyrinth remember

I think it's interesting that it's the visual trope that feels most reclaimed in the daddy/daughter storytelling that we've decided is more compelling? (which, to be fair, it is)
