Everyone remembers the Captain America scene within the blockbuster Avengers: Endgame climax however few would have seen that it was not utterly logical. The anomaly got here to mild solely when the movie’s writers sat down to speak after the movie grew to become one of many highest earners ever, and each transfer of the superheroes was put below the microscope.
In case of ‘the’ Captain America scene the place he calls the Mjolnir, Thor’s hammer, and proves he’s worthy, it comes accompanied by lightning. Now, earlier within the MCU, it has been reiterated by many, together with Odin, that Thor can summon the Mjolnir with out the lightning. However, when Cap calls the hammer, we see lightning.
Film’s writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely advised Slash Films in an interview, “There was certainly a debate at one point because particularly in Ragnarok, it establishes that Thor can summon the lightning without the hammer. I think Odin even says, ‘It was never the hammer’. And yet Cap summons the lightning with the hammer. You get to those things and you’re like, ‘It’s too awesome not to do it! We’ll talk about it later’.”
The germ of the scene went again to 2015 and the writers stated it was inconceivable to make Avengers: Endgame with out the hammer scene. Talking about how Cap was unable to elevate Mjolnir throughout Avengers: Age of Ultron nevertheless it got here to him within the climactic battle, the writers stated, “I’d say he was not completely worthy yet. He still has the secret of Tony’s parents’ death to resolve. It was actually in the [outline] that we gave Marvel in the summer of 2015. ‘Cap picks up Thor’s hammer.’ And it was like, ‘Yeah, we’re doing that somewhere.’”
Marvel boss Kevin Feige, nonetheless, gave a distinct model in a Reddit Q&A later. “I think one of the most special moments in this film is when Captain America picks up Mjolnir,” he stated. “If you remember from Ultron, they were all sitting around in the Avengers complex in Manhattan, and there’s a party, and they’re all a bit inebriated, and they’re loose, and they’re having fun, and they’re all trying to pick up the hammer. It’s Captain America’s turn to try, and you look over to Thor’s face, and he says, ‘I think he might be able to do it,’ but Cap doesn’t pick it up. But Cap could’ve always picked it up. He didn’t want to at that point because it would’ve not been right. We think he was always worthy and was being polite in Age of Ultron.”
Talking about giving Captain America his fortunately ever after within the movie, the writers advised New York Times, “From the very first outline, we knew he was going to get his dance. On a separate subject, I started to lose my barometer on what was just fan service and what was good for the character. Because I think it’s good for the characters. But we also just gave you what you wanted. Is that good? I don’t know. But I’ll tell you, it’s satisfying. He’s postponed a life in order to fulfill his duty. That’s why I didn’t think we were ever going to kill him. Because that’s not the arc. The arc is, I finally get to put my shield down because I’ve earned that.”
Avengers: Endgame got here out in 2019. Marvel is all set to launch a Black Widow prequel and a streaming collection on Loki later this 12 months.
