Listen, we understood: when you invest a lot in a big multi-year project, like J.K. Rowling did with the Harry Potter books, and, to a lesser extent, as Joe and Anthony Russo did with the last day Avengers films – you start to have a certain desire to make your world and your artistic impulses understand. In extremely limited doses, a little "Hey, that's what really happened with this character" can be accepted by a proud creator, dispelling some minor ambiguities that are not part of the larger texts. But you certainly do not want to go to the full JK Rowling Road with that kind of post-gun, "Dumbledore was gay and Nagini was a shapeshifter and no one knew it ever" stepping back, because that's how we are find with sorcerers, boring on the ground, like dogs.

That's why we're rather worried about listening to the Russo talk about the most important and delightful moment for fans of their recent blockbuster hit. Avengers: End of the game on Josh Horowitz Happy sad confused Podcast. You know this one: this is the moment when everyone in your theater probably started screaming, because Steve Rogers just took Thor's hammer and started to hit Thanos' purple big ass with. This is without a doubt the purest moment of service for fans of the MCU experience of 22 films, the return to one of the best moments of a four-year film, the definitive and definitive proof that if someone One in the Marvel Universe was worthy, "It must be Cape Town.

But hey: Did you know that Steve could have picked up this old hammer any time he wanted it, from Age Of Ultron until its destruction Ragnarok? Apparently, the Russo would like to clarify in the interview that the film itself happily leaves an ambiguity: Captain America has always been worthy of his thoughts, he just chose not to capture Mjolnir in the past because it would have Thor feels wrong. (And stole the franchise of a damn good heroic moment several years down the line, of course.)

To be fair, the Russos have not written Avengers: the era of Ultron, where the famous hammer uprising scene takes place – in which he does little if Steve "tries" to lift it – the only real answer to this question is probably floating in Joss Whedon's head. Yet they are the guardians of the character – and through him, the MCU in the broad sense – since Captain America: The Winter Soldierso it's not like you can easily contradict them when they say that selected do not carry the hammer for years. Which is a disappointment, both because it's a less interesting choice from a narrative point of view – is not it cooler if Steve achieves value over the years? Civil war and its complicated and sorrowful consequences, rather than possessing them intrinsically? – and because it deprives fans of the opportunity to chat about when he became dignified, or what Thor means exactly when he shouts "I knew it! the consequences of the great revelation. (However, you may not have understood this line, because again: a big screaming point.)
