the counterpoint is what makes captain marvel worthy of it, when all she has shown to have personality-wise is an upstanding attitude and a bit of snark. shes powerful, sure, but power isnt supposed to define worthiness, pureness of character is.
then again all of that interpretation is shattered in the ragnarok movie since hela literally shatters the hammer despite being corrupt/evil of character. seems to be with enough power, the hammer is possible to pick up even if one isnt worthy. probably the infinity stones at work.
