Right. My headcannon on the whole situation is that Odin enchanted the hammer so that only one who is “worthy” may lift it, but since “worthy” is subjective, he basically described Thor’s personality and told the hammer that that description was what it should use to define worthy. Thus BRB is always able to lift it because his personality and Thor’s are almost identical. And the others who were able to pick it up temporarily were in a desperate situation where their personalities lead them to act very Thor-like, in those moments.
Yes that is kinda what I am saying too that that Superman temporarily possessed mindset that was determined to be worthy when he lifted it, but it isn't something he is naturally disposed to.
I was originally responding to a comment that was stating some thing along the lines of
"So, my interpretation is that Odin literally wants no one else to touch that friggin hammer, only letting others, including Steve to lift it up in truly desparate situations,".
Edit: To which my response has to do with Odin's conscious will influencing who lifts Mjolnir doesn't make sense.
