    Not sure what the comic book explanation for this is, but the hammer only seems to be super heavy when Thor isn't already carrying it. Don't question the movie physics. :laugh:

    hehehe :laugh:

    See the problem was you tried to joke about an important and serious subject matter. I find no room for humor in discussing comic book character match ups.

    Some things are sacred after all.

    Sorry this is comic book science but is an anomaly within that science. Since Thor is holding his hammer the excessive weight property is null.

    I'm not talking about Thor holding his hammer, I mean Iron Man is holding his hammer & picking up Thor....

    *headdesk*

    Quick English lesson: How does Iron Man pick up Thor when he's holding his hammer?????

    That sentence reads that Iron Man picked up Thor and Thor was holding the hammer. If you wanted us to understand your question, you should have written it such:

    "How does Iron Man pick up Thor when Iron Man is already holding Thor's hammer?"

    It's not the weight of the hammer, in the viking saga's Thor possessed gauntlets that allowed him to hold Miolnir.

    I don't recall Iron Man picking up Thor's hammer in the film? I must have missed that bit. Or am I getting totally confused as to what's being asked?

    However, in mythology, only Thor can pick the hammer up. As seen in Avengers, Hulk tries to pick it up and fails. That's not because it's too heavy - no one can lift it full stop.

    but Iron Man is not holding THOR's hammer.... that would just be weird.... Iron Man is holding his own hammer

    That particular scene, I do not recall.

    If he's holding Thor's hammer I'd say he's already succeeded in picking him up.

    not talking about a "scene"..... this is a metaphor that apparently it's too early in the AM for anyone to catch. I concede defeat at making a joke.


    anyone know how to make a pine cone bird feeder????

    Yep. Slather on the peanut butter and roll it in seeds. Voila!

    But what I want to know (and I haven't read the comic books or seen The Incredible Hulk, so this may be a dumb question) is, why was Hulk attacking the good guys without control on the flying carrier but could control himself in the battle at the end?

    ^^THIS!!! My question exactly!!!! And, how did he and Thor know where to find the others to join up the fight? They were both dropped off of the plane out in nowhere!

    No, you can do it any time. It's only required in May.

    MM -- I wondered that, too. Instinct? All the noise?

    I heard that Bruce Banner's girlfriend tries to get in to an argument with him every night so she can see the green hammer.

    My husband rolled his eyes at me when I asked the same question. (he has nerd swagger lol) Its not that the hammer is too heavy its attuned to Thor. Kind of like the lightsaber and Luke.
