They could easily just explain it as Banner taking more control. There has been many different versions of the green hulk in the comics, and a wealth of stories from them to draw from.

As long as it's presented well, the audiences will buy it.

This is why i cant read comics anymore. Thor's hammer ignores physics all day long. Shit like changing directions in mid flight and the like. But hey, putting it in orbit owns it. Fucking really?

We're skipping over the fact that apparently Red Hulk can achieve orbit with a single jump?
Yes. A comic book character jumped into space with a mythological god and his magic hammer. That happened.



Now let's never ever bring up red hulk again.

Well, since we're talking about the hammer. Since he just had it resting on a stack of magazines. Could you pull a magazine out from under it? Or move the coffee table...

Because Physics and Asgardian Techno-Magic...

I'm under the impression that the hammer is heavy (like stone), but isn't so heavy that it's impossible to lift, which is why it has the enchantment on it so you can only pick it up if you're worthy.

With that in mind, if Thor lightly places it on your stomach while you're laying in bed, would you be trapped there until he picked it back up? All the while it wouldn't really hurt you... it would just be really annoying.

I seem to remember him doing something like that in the past actually, but I could be hallucinating too.

He did it to Loki in the first Thor movie, pinned him to the ground by laying it on his chest.

No. That would have been incredibly stupid. I mean, how do we know Ultron is in that scene at all, and why would cap suddenly posses the ability to lift Mjolnir?
Captain America is worthy, he's done it before. As far as I know, he's been the only Avenger worthy enough to do so.

Isn't it forged from the core of a dying star or something so would be incredibly dense and probably impossible to be lifted by anyone without the enchant.

Having Cap move it just a little doesn't really make any sense, you can either lift it or you can't lift it.

Cap should easily be able to lift it.

The hammer is impossible for organics to pick up that aren't worthy. Even Odin, who put the enchantment on the hammer, can't pick it up, or reverse the enchantment.

I've heard it explained that the enchantment causes the hammer to pull in the opposite direction for the exact force used when someone unworthy tries to pick it up. Or more specifically, when someone tried to "wield" it. So you should be able to move the magazine underneath it, as well as moving the table and knocking it over. I mean, Thor's been on the helicarrier. He put mjolnir down and it didn't stop the helicarrier from moving

I guess the question is whether magneto can move it

There is no answer to any of this, because it is magic. Like the sword in the stone, could you get the sword out by breaking away the rock around it? Who knows, because it doesn't fit the story. Anything that fits the story works, anything that doesn't, doesn't.

Literally, the answer in this case is "a wizard did it."

Also, since this is my favorite comic book cover:

From Wiki:

"Mjolnir itself has several enchantments: no living being may lift the hammer unless they are worthy; it returns to the exact spot from which it is thrown and returns to Thor when summoned; it may summon the elements of storm (lightning, wind, and rain) by stamping its handle twice on the ground;[1] manipulate the weather on an almost global scale;[4] open interdimensional portals, allowing its wielder to travel to other dimensions (such as from Earth to Asgard)"

Magneto would not be able to lift it.
