Those drumsticks operate on the same principle as Mjolnir: Dave Grohl can use them, but no mortal man can even lift them.

We are clearly thinking of different Mjolnrs, because thats only in the comics. And the whole deal about Vingthor being invincible while he holds it is an embellishment, too. Vingthor is the one who can wield Mjolnr, but others can pick it up and swing.

EDIT: Clearly I must have been drunk because any moron knows that the comic book version of Mjolnr is the real version, right? Typical hivemind.

I just want to say that you have no idea what you are talking about.

"Then he gave the hammer to Thor, and said that Thor might smite as hard as he desired, whatsoever might be before him, and the hammer would not fail; and if he threw it at anything, it would never miss, and never fly so far as not to return to his hand; and if be desired, he might keep it in his sark, it was so small; but indeed it was a flaw in the hammer that the fore-haft was somewhat short"

The properties of Mjolnr do not make Thor invincible, nor do the properties make Thor the only one who can pick it up. Indeed, there was a tale where a giant stole Mjolnr, and Thor had to ask Loki to help him get it back

So yeah, I dont know what Im talking about

Look, its not that your wrong. Its just, well, you're coming off like a pretentious asshole and ain't know one gonna like that.

I'd say the other guy was the asshole. Added nothing to the discussion, just came in to be a jerk. I'd say this guy did well to explain himself.

Well golly, Id hate to hurt someones feelings by pointing out that Thor isnt actually invincible

[–]TeutorixAleria 1 ポイント2 ポイント

Nobody mentioned him being invincible.

[–]InsanityWolfie -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

Youre right. What WAS mentioned was that Mjolnr cant be picked up by anyone but Thor. Which, along with the invincibility, is all for the comics. I dont even think I was being that impolite as I pointed that out. I typed as non confrontationally as I think I could have done in the situtation.

Wasn't there something about only Thor being able to use it correctly since it had such a short shaft?

[–]InsanityWolfie -1 ポイント0 ポイント

Yes, as youll note in my first comment, only Thor can wield it, but anyone can pick it up.

[–]kosif 1 ポイント2 ポイント

I did not note that in your first comment, and I had no idea who/what Vingthor was. I apologize for not being overly knowledgeable about Norse mythology.

[–]DinosBiggestFan -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

The guy needs to be downvoted more for not knowing Norse mythology and instead referring to comic books.

[–]InsanityWolfie -2 ポイント-1 ポイント

I referred to the comics? True, Yes I did, but only point out the flaws in the marvel character, as you could clearly see if you had read my comment. Not knowing norse mythology? Well, maybe not as well as I would like to.
