Why Hela Could Lift Mjolnir, Even Though She Wasn"t Worthy

Summary

• Hela's ability to catch and destroy Mjolnir raised questions about why she was able to hold and break the hammer.
• Odin's enchantment on Mjolnir in the beginning of Thor made it so only those worthy could wield its power.
• The most plausible explanation for Hela being able to hold and destroy Mjolnir is that Odin's death weakened the enchantment and she was too powerful for it.

Thor: Ragnarok introduced Hela (Cate Blanchett), Odin’s daughter and thus Thor’s sister, who surprised the Asgardian prince and the audience by catching and destroying Mjolnir. After two solo movies and two adventures with his fellow Avengers, Thor (Chris Hemsworth) returned in his third solo movie, which made some necessary changes to the character. Under the direction of Taika Waititi, Thor: Ragnarok brought out the God of Thunder’s personality and injected the character with comedy, which boosted his popularity. Among the laughs and jokes, Thor: Ragnarok also explored some Asgardian family drama with the introduction of Hela.
Odin (Anthony Hopkins) was known for keeping secrets from his sons, but he forgot to tell them a very important one: he had another daughter, Hela, who he imprisoned centuries back and wrote out of history. Odin’s death would set Hela free, and almost immediately after the Allfather passed away, Hela arrived and met her brothers, and after trying to force them to kneel, Thor threw his trusty hammer Mjolnir at her. To everyone’s surprise, Hela stopped Mjolnir with one hand and destroyed it, raising many questions about why she was able to hold and break the hammer.
