After Endgame Steve probably likes calling the mjolnir across galaxies and towards himself just to mess with Thor. He has to keep his arm up for three days straight sometimes but it’s worth it.
Thor has stated multiple (27) times that he isn’t afraid to punch an old man.
Steve does it anyway.
Steve is a dick.
Let us please talk about mjolnir breaking into pieces.

Tales of Asgard
Season 2
Some time has passed. They are young adults now.
Balder is much less part of the group now. He still counsels and trains Thor and has taken Algrim's role as advisor to Odin. We see his romance with Nanna blossom over the next few episodes.
Episode 1
Langobards
A tale from Frigga about the "bearded women" (Langobards).
The story is in the above article under attestations.
A group of Winniles, settled in a new country some years past, were given a demand by the Vandals of tribute or battle.
The matriarch of the Winniles, Gambara, thought they should not weigh down their new nation with years of tributes. They had to fight to be free. Though they were brave and skilled, they were fewer than the Vandals.
The Vandals asked Odin for favour in battle. Odin merely stated;
"Those that first catch my eye at sunrise, shall be granted victory."
Gambara sought the help of Frigga who advised;
Come from the East at dawn, bring your long haired women with you. Let their hair down, arranged around the face like a beard"
Frigga made sure to turn the bed around and rolled Odin over to face the east. On waking he couldn't help but notice these pretty bearded folk, saying;
"Who are these longbeards?"
Frigga replied;
"As these Longbeards, as you named them, have caught your eye first, you must give them the promised victory."
The thematic link here is winning with your brain, which of course Thor does not heed. Also a variation on bearded ladies.
Then...
Thor has lost Mjölnir to an unnamed thief (implied to be Loki, but without Thor realising). Thor is at once livid and distraught. Loki becomes a bird (claiming it is the one thing Odin taught him) and "discovers" an Utgard giant (Thrym) has it and wants Sif's hand in marriage as ransom. Sif, of course, flatly refuses so Thor has to pretend to be Sif (in the norse legend this is Freya, but Sif is again swapped in to keep things simple). Loki changes gender (does he look like Sylvie? Because that would bring an extra level of weird to Loki's TV series) to be handmaiden to Thor's heavily veiled "Sif". Handmaiden Loki helps "Sif" to get through the wedding dinner (including excusing "Sif's" extraordinary appetite). Mjölnir is eventually revealed and Thor takes his revenge. At the end, Loki reveals to Sigyn that he secretly got paid for both jobs.
