What's the mythical-scientific reason for Thors hammer being immovable? Very high mass/density or protected by some invisible godlike force?

[-] kazren@lemmy.world 43 points 4 days ago

In the movies, it's a worthiness/ pure heart thing. In the comics it's just really heavy. I guess the question is, is magic space metal ferrous enough to be magnetic?

[-] Yeller_king@reddthat.com 9 points 4 days ago

I think Magneto can control nonferrous metals, too.

[-] Brown5500@sh.itjust.works 21 points 4 days ago

It has always bothered me that he used super strength magnetic fields to manipulate non-magnetic metals. yes, that is the thing in the xmen universe that breaks reality for me, everything else is fine

[-] EvilHankVenture@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

That is realistic though, he just needs to move the magnetic field to induce a current in them. He should be able to affect any conductor.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Does this mean he might also have limited water powers in regions where the ratio of metallic solids in the water is above a certain threshold? Kinda like the "metal in your blood" scene in that one X-Men movie.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 5 points 3 days ago

I think that's exactly what it means. Avoid entering caves with Magneto. There's a lot of minerals dissolved in those drip drops

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 3 points 3 days ago

And if there's one thing that we know Mjolnir definitely is, it's a conductor

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 16 points 4 days ago

Pretty much both.

Stormbreaker is completely different metal with no such restrictions placed on it, so anyone can pick it up.

After captain america picked up Mjølner, he then turned water into wine and came back to life three days after dying.

[-] TransplantedSconie@lemm.ee 18 points 4 days ago

Captain America and Mjølner were in the closet making babies and I saw one of the babies and the baby looked at me!

[-] Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 days ago

Baby looked at you?

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

I just watched this episode for the first time!

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Protected by a literal god but I have no idea why it wasn’t movable after oden died.

[-] ulterno@lemmy.kde.social 16 points 4 days ago

Enchantments are a one-off thingy. They don't require the enchanter to stay alive.
Otherwise, buying an enchanted sword from someone would mean, you would have to depend upon that person not getting killed by some random robber, when you are in the middle of battling the dungeon boss.

No you don't... Don't apply enchanter DRM!!

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Your enchanted sword refuses to turn on without the bladesmith's proprietary Dongle of Unlocking

Your characters walk into a magic shop, but instead of buying magic items the shopkeeper offers to sell them scrolls of ownership. "There are infinite number of these scrolls," he explains, "but they all use a decentralized mechanism to determine ownership!"

"Okay, I'll buy one. Now where's my +1 sword?" The fighter asks.

"The scrolls say that you own it" the shopkeeper unhelpfully reiterates. "And every other scroll will be updated to agree that you own it."

Sounds like some artificier prestige class shit here.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 days ago

It's an Enchantment written onto the hammer by Odin.

So basically, it's the will of the God Odin, instilled upon the hammer.

[-] SSJMarx@lemm.ee 0 points 3 days ago

I like this because then you can say that a non-worthy person can wield the hammer, if they're stronger than Odin and can beat the enchantment. Magneto is probably on that level.

[-] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 3 days ago

I'd say magneto just found a gray area, since he didn't "wield" it with his body.
