Question: How Did Hela Lift Mjolnir

HELA’S JUST WORTHY ENOUGH TO DESTROY IT The impactful scene saw Hela catching Mjolnir after Thor flung it and holding the enchanted hammer mid-air before crushing it to pieces. Odin previously told his son the power of the Uru metal had no equal but clearly that’s an overstatement as she destroys it with ease.

Why was Hela able to break Mjolnir?

Marvel fans have been asking that question ever since Thor: Ragnarok hit theaters back in 2017. The Theory — Redditor u/kamikazeads believes the reason Hela was able to destroy Mjolnir so effortlessly in Thor: Ragnarok was because Odin (Anthony Hopkins) died just moments before she did it.

Did Thor’s hammer belong to Hela?

A major theme of Thor: Ragnarok is establishing Thor’s power is his own, not a gift from his hammer, Mjolnir. Thor: Ragnarok reveals that Odin’s firstborn child was Hela, the goddess of death. Hela was Odin’s executioner, leading his armies in battle during Asgard’s conquest of the realm.
