The return of Thor ’s power hammer , Mjolnir , inThor : Love and Thunderundermines the impact of its own death inThor : Ragnarok . Though the Marvel Cinematic Universe ’s God of Thunder is renowned for his iconic arm , with it accompanying him in his many conflict beyond Asgard ( and spiel a substantial use in the MCU ’s first twoThormovies ) , Mjolnir ’s   dying pave the fashion for a Modern era for Thor - one that could potentially be undercut by its return .

Mjolnir was destroyed inThor :   Ragnarokby Hela - who shattered it into art object with her bare hands - but a telecasting   from the exercise set of the upcomingThor 4showcased Chris Hemsworth ’s stunt doublepracticing with   the hammer in handwriting , ostensibly confirming that   it   will be back and that Thor himself might be using it again . This could be quite   problematic for a number of understanding -   principally because Thor gained a new weapon , an axe forebode Stormbreaker , inAvengers : Infinity War . But , on top of that , this   wo n’t even be the first time that Mjolnir has return , as a stumble through prison term inAvengers : Endgamesaw him reunited with the power hammer . While this could make things confusing in terms of which weapon he now consider his elementary one ,   it also highlights the likely risk of overreliance on a crutch that Thor has since moved on from .

Thedestruction of Mjolnir inThor : Ragnarokwas a potent moment   not only   because it   solidify Hela as a scourge to be taken badly , but it kicked off something of a journeying of self - find for Thor .   The Avenger had relied on the malleus to channel the lightning and help him in all of his conflict , so without it he felt helpless . However , it was only when it was withdraw off from him that he realized who he in truth was . This was highlighted in that thrilling final struggle sequence on Asgard when Thor manage to channel the lightningwithoutany artillery , reminding viewers   ( and , more significantly , himself )   thathewas the God of Thunder - not the weapons that he wielded . Moreover , it showcased that   he was worthy irrespective of whether he had one to summon .

However , Avengers : Infinity Warthen saw the recently recharge Thor , invigorated - off defeating Hela and an army of soldiers , ineffectual to vote out Thanos in their first encounter before the hero subsequently spent a large portion of the film forging a fresh weapon - one that seemingly made him even more powerful . With that in judgement , it could be debate that the film essentially return Thor to his former ego , translate him powerless unless he was wielding a destructive weapon - something that was then proven when he came human face - to - face with Thanos and   later   kill him with that axe .

Mjolnir ’s return inAvengers :   Endgamedid function a purpose to the tale as it proved to the despondent Thor that he was still worthy and his conclusion to bring it back to the present allowed Captain America to prove his worthiness too , but if Thor does   swear on the weapon again , it would understandably allow viewer wonder what the full stop of its destruction was in the first place - specially when the character journey Thor embark on has   already been reversed through his creation of Stormbreaker .

Mjolnir ’s dying inThor : Ragnarokwas an impactful minute on many fronts , ending one earned run average for the God of Thunder and depart a brand new one for him in the procedure . Though its return inAvengers : Endgamelent itself to his redemption arc nicely , the fact that it came after he already deputize it for another weapon - and thatMjolnir will return inThor : sexual love and Thunder- undercuts that affect a great stack . And , in doing so , it risks regressing   Thor to lesser version of himself .
