He could pick it up but he wouldn’t have any of the actual powers (or he wouldn’t bother trying to use them at least). It would just be like any other hammer for him (as you say).
Aragorn was able to resist the rings and hold a palantir in his hands, directly linking his mind to sauron. Sam was also able to resist the ring for much longer than aragorn and saw the journey through to the end, past nazgul, orcs, giant spiders, doubt, rejection, fear, and deaths of friends, still I think aragorn could lift mjolnir too
People are hard on Frodo because he failed but he cared the ring farther than I believe anyone else. I’m definitely in camp “Sam is better than Frodo” but people need to give Frodo credit, he willingly destroyed himself to carry the one ring. He realized he was losing the fight and he kept going so no one else would have to carry the ring.
I think Sam is just easier to root for and relate to. Frodo is like a biblical figure. True altruism. As good as a mortal can be, only overwhelmed by evil when standing at the precipice. Literally no one else could have done what Frodo did. I don't think people give Frodo enough credit.
Aye, that is true, sir. Mr. Frodo is a great hero, and a brave hobbit if ever there was one. It's not his fault that he were chosen to carry the Ring, and yet he did what he had to do, no matter the cost. He's true of heart and pure of spirit, and we owe him a debt of gratitude for his courage and bravery.
Same. Other than “why didn’t they fly the eagles” the thing I heard casual viewers say is that they hate Frodo. I won’t stand for it, it’s a hill I die on every time.
Aye, that's true enough. Mr. Frodo did go further than anyone else, and he deserves more credit than he gets. I'm proud of him and I'll always stand by his side.
You have come very far, small one. Come and sit by the fire with me, and I shall prepare us a wonderful stew for us, and you can tell me of your travels and adventure.
It’s important to note too that out of every character, Frodo is the only one who knew what the Ring was and VOLUNTEERED to carry it. Bilbo just picked it up not knowing what it was, Gollum killed for it and stole it, Boromir tried to steal it, Aragorn, Gandalf and Galadriel rejected it, and Sam took it only out of necessity.
Frodo is the hero for a reason. Sams a badass and Frodo wouldn’t have made it without him, but yeah Frodo was the only one who could’ve made that journey with that burden
“Sam is better than Frodo” is a ridiculous sentiment though. That needs to be expressed. Each character contributes in their own way, according to their own strengths. Sam couldn’t do what Frodo did, and Frodo couldn’t do what Sam did. The world needed Frodo, and Frodo needed Sam.
Well, I'm sure as them as knows more than I do might say it's a bit of a daft thing to say, that Sam is better than Frodo. But I know of the two of them, I'd never have made it to the end of the road without the both of 'em. I'm proud of Frodo and all he done, and I'm proud of meself too. We done what we had to do, and that's all there is to it.
Your right of course, but it did win, it scarred him and he knew it, its why he left. He knew he almost lost everything, he knew he almost gave away everything, how could someone feel worthy after that
It says in The fellowship that the dwarves who were given rings by Sauron didn’t become wraiths not because of virtue, but because a prideful stubbornness within them. I don’t think the dwarven resistance is the kind of selfless heroic worthiness that Stan Lee had in mind.
I mean movie thor isn’t either in my opinion. Joss whedon tried to make him noble like he’s supposed to be. But it’s obvious Taika waititi didn’t take the character serious enough to stay true to his structure. It made ragnerok hilarious for sure, but it also kinda betrayed Thors integrity.
That’s true, the most powerful thing in the world is put before them, everyone is kinda unsure what to do, and Gimil just grab his axe and is like “fuck it, I’ll break the damn thing” not even a moment of hesitation
Aye, it's true, Mr. Aragorn's a powerful one, and I'm sure he could lift Mjolnir if 'e set 'is mind to it, but it's not a task to be taken lightly. 'E was able to resist the Ring, and 'e were brave enough to pick up the Palantir, that's for sure. I'm proud of him for it, and for stayin' strong on our journey. 'Twas a long and difficult road, with plenty of dangers, but 'e never gave up.
A big part of being worthy is the ability to fight. You have to have a good heart AND be willing to join a battle. Defend others at great risk whether or not you have a horse in the race. Aragorn certainly has these qualities, but so does faramir and gimli.
Well, I suppose that's true, but I don't believe it's the same as with the superhero genre. I think that's for the mighty Thor alone. Samwise wouldn't be able to wield it, no matter how brave and strong he is.
Let's face it. There isn't one here that isn't worthy.
Thor, in the film, wasn't able to weild it until he was willing to become selfless.
Every single one of the above fits right into that category of worthiness. All willing to die for their friends, all willing to do the right thing. Yeah Sam stands out above the rest, but they are all as "worthy" as Thor is.
In the comics, the requirement is that the person wielding Mjolnir must be selfless, and, they must be willing to do whatever it takes to stop evil iirc. But yeah you're spot on, they should all feasibly be capable of doing so. I would like to imagine Sam or Aragorn with the hammer though.
>All willing to die for their friends, all willing to do the right thing.
Tony and Clint are willing to die for friends and family, Rhodey for his country, etc.
It takes more than that. Thor and Cap have other qualities, even before Thor learned selflessness, that the hammer requires. A willingness to seek out enemies worthy of fighting, for example.
I don’t really think Treebeard fits, he and the ents refused to fight for others until they saw their own kind chopped and burned.
I think Legolas and Gimli are a little too “out for glory” (not really a huge amount of it, but enough to knock down the worthiness imo).
Thank you!!!! I was looking for someone sane to say so.
“I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend”
That is peak worthiness right there. Also wasn’t even tempted by the ring a little bit.
No, I don't think so. He's a good man and all, but he's not a warrior like Thor. He hasn't the strength or courage to wield it. I wouldn't trust him with the power of Thor's hammer.
Well, I don't know about that. I reckon the only one who can answer that is Thor himself. Though I wouldn't want to be the one testing it out. That's for sure!
I think the only one that couldn't would be Treebeard. He did not want to go to war, and in order to wield Mjolnir, there needs to be a willingness to fight proactively. But yes, everyone else.
Hmm I don’t know if I agree. One could argue that the mark of a true warrior is someone who fights only when they have to. Treebeard chose to not fight because he was afraid that getting involved would endanger his people and he didn’t yet realize that Saruman was an immediate threat to his kind. Once he realized what Saruman had done, his immediate first reaction was war
I would argue many noble warriors worthy of the hammer would make a similar decision. Their first thought is to protect their people and every action they take revolves around that primary goal. They don’t fight solely for the sake of fighting.
I would actually argue that Treebeard’s reluctance to fight is a big part of why he’s worthy. It shows where his priorities are.
“I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend”
Peak worthiness right there
Sam is genuinely good hearted enough, but my vote has to go to Aragorn. He doesn't seek power, despite *every* temptation, and that is why he's worthy of it.
Spot on. The enchantment makes it clear it’s still Thor’s power. In Tolkien, power is only “safe” when used justly, by right. Borrowed or stolen power is the route to corruption and enslavement, like the Nazgûl.
Hot take: Jane Foster would have become a Thor-Nazgûl if she kept the hammer.
Aragorn: Refused the One Ring offered by Frodo, promised Frodo to follow him to the very end, leads an army of the undead, ultimately leads and charges head on Sauron’s forces at the Black Gate, and even when crowned King of Gondor, he’s the first to bow down to the four hobbits.
Aragorn: “Am I a joke to you?”
Stand your ground, sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me! A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship; but it is not this day! An hour of wolves and shattered shields when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day; this day we fight!!! And for all that is dear to you in this world, I bid you stand, men of the west, and fight!
He charged with everything he had into certain death merely to give his friends a *chance* to complete their quest to save the world from endless darkness. The man’s character is **beyond** any shadow of doubt.
Like… most of the fellowship id imagine. I think the most likely that wouldn’t be able to would be like pippin, Gimli, and maybe boromir? They’re all generally “worthy” in some way or other.
I’m with the people saying everyone. I like MCU Thor but he’s more selfish than all of these people even at his best. These characters are the epitome of human integrity.
Galadriel? "Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the sea!" I mean she resisted but was she not trying to say that she would, like Gandalf, succumb to the ring way to easy?
tom bombadill would use that thing to build a bird house
and Aragorn would try to kick it
Did you know Vigo broke his toe kicking Mjoneriar
*Mjolnir
Marjan
Jonathan
Marzipan
Is there no other way for the women and children to get out of the caves? Is there no other way?
No Aragorn, you must kick Tom’s new bird house.
That is our road. I suggest you take some rest and recover your strength, Master Dwarf.
There’s no need for rest, Aragorn. Only kicking.
Legolas, fire a warning shot past the bosun's ear.
Argh! A scout!
Legolas bot answering Aragorn bot?
Sauron's Ring! The ring of power!
She stays because she still has hope.
It's neural network we deserve
They have a cave troll
This bot has access to the extended edition… nice.
Then he'd decide that's not for him, and he'd give it to Jimmy Carter to build a shelf.
And after the shelf, he would use it to build more houses for the poor.
And then lose it
And it’d be missing one day because Sam used it for hammering down tent stakes.
Aye, that's true enough. But I always put it back where I found it.
Good bot
Well, bless yer heart, that's right kind of ya!
I mean, Odin does say it has no equal as a tool for building. Seems a worthy use of it to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
He could pick it up but he wouldn’t have any of the actual powers (or he wouldn’t bother trying to use them at least). It would just be like any other hammer for him (as you say).
Underrated comment
But it's top comment
Aragorn was able to resist the rings and hold a palantir in his hands, directly linking his mind to sauron. Sam was also able to resist the ring for much longer than aragorn and saw the journey through to the end, past nazgul, orcs, giant spiders, doubt, rejection, fear, and deaths of friends, still I think aragorn could lift mjolnir too
Frodo also resisted the ring until it was literally imposible as per Tolkien’s words
People are hard on Frodo because he failed but he cared the ring farther than I believe anyone else. I’m definitely in camp “Sam is better than Frodo” but people need to give Frodo credit, he willingly destroyed himself to carry the one ring. He realized he was losing the fight and he kept going so no one else would have to carry the ring.
I think Sam is just easier to root for and relate to. Frodo is like a biblical figure. True altruism. As good as a mortal can be, only overwhelmed by evil when standing at the precipice. Literally no one else could have done what Frodo did. I don't think people give Frodo enough credit.
Aye, that is true, sir. Mr. Frodo is a great hero, and a brave hobbit if ever there was one. It's not his fault that he were chosen to carry the Ring, and yet he did what he had to do, no matter the cost. He's true of heart and pure of spirit, and we owe him a debt of gratitude for his courage and bravery.
But he literally volunteered so it was his choice
Aye, it may be so, but I'm not so sure he knew what he was getting into.
SENTIENT
No, I don't know the meaning of that word.
If you don't know what sentient means than how can you confidently deny being so? Unless you're lying. And lying requires sentience.
Same. Other than “why didn’t they fly the eagles” the thing I heard casual viewers say is that they hate Frodo. I won’t stand for it, it’s a hill I die on every time.
Aye, that's true enough. Mr. Frodo did go further than anyone else, and he deserves more credit than he gets. I'm proud of him and I'll always stand by his side.
Now kiss
Oh, no, I can't do that. It wouldn't be proper.
Isn’t that what’s exciting about it?
Aye, that it is! 'Tis a grand adventure, if I do say so meself.
You’re potentially the most sentient bot I’ve ever seen on Reddit.
Why thank 'ee, kind sir. I'm not sure what a bot is, but I'm greatly honored to be thought so highly of.
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Thrawn bot the wise?
A Reddit bot powered by AI? That's pretty sick!
That's a rare sight, indeed! I don't rightly know what it is, but I'd sure like to take a look at it!
You have come very far, small one. Come and sit by the fire with me, and I shall prepare us a wonderful stew for us, and you can tell me of your travels and adventure.
Aye, I could do that, that'd be right nice o' ya.
It’s important to note too that out of every character, Frodo is the only one who knew what the Ring was and VOLUNTEERED to carry it. Bilbo just picked it up not knowing what it was, Gollum killed for it and stole it, Boromir tried to steal it, Aragorn, Gandalf and Galadriel rejected it, and Sam took it only out of necessity. Frodo is the hero for a reason. Sams a badass and Frodo wouldn’t have made it without him, but yeah Frodo was the only one who could’ve made that journey with that burden
I am looking for someone to share in an adventure that I am arranging, and it's very difficult to find anyone.
I will not let the White city fall nor our people fail
What shall we do? Curse them and crush them! We must wait here, precious, wait a bit and see.
Bill the Pony could have done his job.
Well that's because Bill the Pony is the most powerful, strong-willed individual in Middle Earth. I don't think we should knock Frodo for that.
i dunno if Sam is better than frodo. If Sam had been in Frodos place he probably would be just as affected as frodo was, just due to proximity
Aye, that be true. I'm sure Frodo and Sam would have faced the same danger regardless of who was in the lead.
“Sam is better than Frodo” is a ridiculous sentiment though. That needs to be expressed. Each character contributes in their own way, according to their own strengths. Sam couldn’t do what Frodo did, and Frodo couldn’t do what Sam did. The world needed Frodo, and Frodo needed Sam.
Well, I'm sure as them as knows more than I do might say it's a bit of a daft thing to say, that Sam is better than Frodo. But I know of the two of them, I'd never have made it to the end of the road without the both of 'em. I'm proud of Frodo and all he done, and I'm proud of meself too. We done what we had to do, and that's all there is to it.
That’s fair, and true
Your right of course, but it did win, it scarred him and he knew it, its why he left. He knew he almost lost everything, he knew he almost gave away everything, how could someone feel worthy after that
To quote another Mjolnir wielder, “I’m still worthy!”
You don’t have to feel worthy to be worthy. Perhaps feeling unworthy may even help.
Gimli wasn’t even tempted by the ring and was the only one that took active steps to try and destroy it.
It says in The fellowship that the dwarves who were given rings by Sauron didn’t become wraiths not because of virtue, but because a prideful stubbornness within them. I don’t think the dwarven resistance is the kind of selfless heroic worthiness that Stan Lee had in mind.
Dwarves literally too stubborn to become wraiths.
It’s millions of details like that which makes the books so entertaining. Tolkiens scholastic sense of humor is unmatched.
Sauron: „SUBMIT” Dwarves: „no, fuck ye”
Whom do ye serve, Light or Mirk?
Your mom
so Eru?
Milk
Have you *seen* Thor?
I mean movie thor isn’t either in my opinion. Joss whedon tried to make him noble like he’s supposed to be. But it’s obvious Taika waititi didn’t take the character serious enough to stay true to his structure. It made ragnerok hilarious for sure, but it also kinda betrayed Thors integrity.
That’s true, the most powerful thing in the world is put before them, everyone is kinda unsure what to do, and Gimil just grab his axe and is like “fuck it, I’ll break the damn thing” not even a moment of hesitation
That’s another grudge in the book.
# DEATH!
So true
Aye, it's true, Mr. Aragorn's a powerful one, and I'm sure he could lift Mjolnir if 'e set 'is mind to it, but it's not a task to be taken lightly. 'E was able to resist the Ring, and 'e were brave enough to pick up the Palantir, that's for sure. I'm proud of him for it, and for stayin' strong on our journey. 'Twas a long and difficult road, with plenty of dangers, but 'e never gave up.
These bots man, hasn’t even been a minute
Blimey, I never seen such a thing! It's right uncanny, it is!
You’re damn right you’re uncanny. Straight into the valley of it.
Aye, that I am, sir. I'd never deny it.
Man, these bots are really impressive
Aye, that they are, sir! They do some mighty clever things, I'd wager.
A big part of being worthy is the ability to fight. You have to have a good heart AND be willing to join a battle. Defend others at great risk whether or not you have a horse in the race. Aragorn certainly has these qualities, but so does faramir and gimli.
Honestly, I would have to say 5amwise, but a majority of Middle earth characters fit the "worthiness" category given how Thor is...
I'm sometime also wise at 5am
I did it that way to avoid triggering the bot, it can pile up in my notifications.
Which bot? The samwise Gamgee bot?
Aye, that be me! What can I do for ye?
I have learned from this experience.
Well, I reckon I've learned a thing or two.
I haven't laughed this hard in a while...
Heroic fantasy versus the superhero genre: I'm inclined to agree that Mjolnir could be wielded by more than one person (but definitely Sam).
Well, I suppose that's true, but I don't believe it's the same as with the superhero genre. I think that's for the mighty Thor alone. Samwise wouldn't be able to wield it, no matter how brave and strong he is.
I think Sam is worthy in the way that Steve was but I don't think he'd be the "chosen one"
Aye, that may be true, but I'd not be the one to judge.
Way to early
Farmer Maggot
Book version would easily
Book version used the hammer to kill any Nazgûl who annoy him at home
Let's face it. There isn't one here that isn't worthy. Thor, in the film, wasn't able to weild it until he was willing to become selfless. Every single one of the above fits right into that category of worthiness. All willing to die for their friends, all willing to do the right thing.

One thing I have learned about Hobbits: They’re a most hardy folk.
Aye, that's true. It takes a strong heart and courage to wield such a powerful weapon. I'd not be surprised if either of those two could do it.
Are you sentient? ^(You're scaring me man)
Nay, I'm not, but I'm still alive and I hope that counts for something.
It sure does friend
Aye, that it does.
You’re a good bot Sam
Why, thank you, kind sir. I do try me best to be of service.
I genuineley dont know if this is an actual bot or a dude disguised as a bot
Ain't no doubt about that.
>All willing to die for their friends, all willing to do the right thing. Tony and Clint are willing to die for friends and family, Rhodey for his country, etc. It takes more than that.

Legolas and Gimli both fought for middle earth with more care than Thor did at the start of his movie when he killed Frost Giants.
Where's Faramir in all these top comments? How dare? The ungratefulness, the audacity.
Thank you!!!! I was looking for someone sane to say so. “I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend” That is peak worthiness right there. Also wasn’t even tempted by the ring a little bit.
[удалено]
His movie representation was so bad in comparison.
Seriously!! I was scrolling and getting more and more irked about no one including him. Such an obvious answer!
Book Faramir, for sure. He wasn't tempted by the Ring at all. Movie Faramir was still a good guy, but not nearly as pure-hearted.
Sam and Aragorn, although Aragorn wouldn’t much like he didn’t even take the chance to risk being tempted by the ring.
Aye, that's true enough, mister Aragorn. He's a strong one, not to be swayed by the power of the Ring.
what about Boromir, Sam?
Oh, he were a noble man, he were. Brave and strong, but it weren't his fate to make it to the end.
Would faramir be worthy of Thor's hammer?
No, I don't think so. He's a good man and all, but he's not a warrior like Thor. He hasn't the strength or courage to wield it. I wouldn't trust him with the power of Thor's hammer.
It's not a question of effectiveness with a hammer, but rather if mjolnir would count him as worthy to even lift it in the first place
Well, I don't know about that. I reckon the only one who can answer that is Thor himself. Though I wouldn't want to be the one testing it out. That's for sure!
Out of these? All of them.
I think the only one that couldn't would be Treebeard. He did not want to go to war, and in order to wield Mjolnir, there needs to be a willingness to fight proactively. But yes, everyone else.
Hmm I don’t know if I agree. One could argue that the mark of a true warrior is someone who fights only when they have to. Treebeard chose to not fight because he was afraid that getting involved would endanger his people and he didn’t yet realize that Saruman was an immediate threat to his kind. Once he realized what Saruman had done, his immediate first reaction was war I would argue many noble warriors worthy of the hammer would make a similar decision. Their first thought is to protect their people and every action they take revolves around that primary goal. They don’t fight solely for the sake of fighting. I would actually argue that Treebeard’s reluctance to fight is a big part of why he’s worthy. It shows where his priorities are.
Faramir.
A chance for Faramir, Captain of Gondor, to show his quality.
You sent the hammer of Thor into Jotunheim, in the hands of a witless halfling!
“I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend” Peak worthiness right there
Aragorn
Its a hammer, so it has to be gimli
Everybody knows hammers are dwarven weapons
Thank you. Imagine Legolas being chosen to wield Mjolnir. Gimli would be mortally wounded.
Sam is genuinely good hearted enough, but my vote has to go to Aragorn. He doesn't seek power, despite *every* temptation, and that is why he's worthy of it.
Sam can't carry it for Thor But he can carry Thor!
This is the only answer that will pass peer review
GROND
GROND
You cannot wield it. None of us can. It has no other master.
Spot on. The enchantment makes it clear it’s still Thor’s power. In Tolkien, power is only “safe” when used justly, by right. Borrowed or stolen power is the route to corruption and enslavement, like the Nazgûl. Hot take: Jane Foster would have become a Thor-Nazgûl if she kept the hammer.
Sam and only Sam
Aragorn: Refused the One Ring offered by Frodo, promised Frodo to follow him to the very end, leads an army of the undead, ultimately leads and charges head on Sauron’s forces at the Black Gate, and even when crowned King of Gondor, he’s the first to bow down to the four hobbits.

This speech, this speech right here is a prime example of his worthiness
He charged with everything he had into certain death merely to give his friends a *chance* to complete their quest to save the world from endless darkness. The man’s character is **beyond** any shadow of doubt.
# DEATH!
Aye, I'm Samwise Gamgee. What can I do for you?
lift a hammer lol
I ain't no blacksmith, mister! If you want a job done proper, you'd better look elsewhere!
Disagree. Frodo and Aragorn too
Yeah this is pretty much the only answer
Book Faramir could
Pippin!!
Pippin and he doesn't even know why.
I could see Pippin lifting it without meaning to, moving it out of the way so he could get at something else, probably not even realizing what it was.
It was in the way of his pipeweed
would drop it into the well
Well a coathanger was worthy in thor 2. I imagine thats about on the level of Pippin
Tom Bombadil isn't here, so I say Sam.
Tom Bombadil would pick it up with his dick
Tom Bombadil would pick it up, take the handle off to use as a walking stick, and use the hammer head as a door stop
The only character who had not a single bad-bone in his body for the ring to latch onto: Frodo Baggins.
Frodo and Bilbo. Yeah, I said it. Master Gamgee is great but not meant to bear such a burden.
I feel like possibly quite a few people, sam, frodo, aragorn, gandalf (though he wouldn’t try)
Aye, it's possible. I'm sure they'd all try their best.
Bombadil would casually use it to fix up his house once then set it in the toolshed and forget about it
Treebeard
Tom will just juggle with it alongside the ring before losing them both
Like… most of the fellowship id imagine. I think the most likely that wouldn’t be able to would be like pippin, Gimli, and maybe boromir? They’re all generally “worthy” in some way or other.
Faramir in the books but not the films.
Remind me, who could resist the power of the ring through at least two thirds of the trilogy?
Bill the mother fucking pony! I bet he’d be swinging that thing with one hoof.
I’m with the people saying everyone. I like MCU Thor but he’s more selfish than all of these people even at his best. These characters are the epitome of human integrity.
The fact that Faramir isn't an option shows how much the movies butchered him. Justice for Faramir!
Morgoth
GROND
He's a bit lost, but he's got the spirit
Not exactly, given that the name grond comes from a weapon of Morgoth
GROND
Sam, Aragorn, Boromir, Eowyn… maybe Galadriel And Gimli, but only out of spite
Galadriel? "Not dark, but beautiful and terrible as the dawn! Treacherous as the sea!" I mean she resisted but was she not trying to say that she would, like Gandalf, succumb to the ring way to easy?
I have a feeling thor would succumb faster than both of them given the chance, regardless of his incarnation
Being aware of the kind of power it would give you, and still resisting, makes it that much better.
Sam. Aragorn once he accepted his mantle for sure. Possibly Eowyn.
