vbartilucci asked: In case someone hasn't already asked... I’ll bet the Mjolnir elevator question would be answered by looking at three questions: 1)Was it Thor’s wish to keep the elevator from moving when he set it down? 2)Is the person trying to move the elevator trying to move the hammer, or is he just trying to call the elevator? 3)What does the writer want to happen? One of those may hold more weight in the equation. Not sure which.
The Elevator question is much simpler than that: the Elevator goes up, regardless. That action does not constitute lifting by a living sentient being–it’s rather the action of a mindless machine with enough physical power to move the hammer. The enchantment isn’t about weight, it’s about worthiness–the Elevator does not qualify as “Whosoever”.
But what if the elevator was part of an eleborate setup? Like, Thor puts his hammer down in the elevator (as Space Phantom knew he would!) and then Space Phantom calls the elevator to the top floor, where, upon reaching the top, the elevator doors open and the elevator tips, allowing the hammer to slide out, fall multiple stories, and land on Captain America’s head, killing him instantly. What then?
