My friend, uru cannot be easily shaped and fashioned.
As I said before... Even regular raw uru is said to be "unbreakable".

The Dwarves had to pull a f*cking star into their furnaces(and burn it out entirely), just to begin forging that one small piece, lol. 😑
Originally posted by celeyhyga17I wouldn't say the Uru itself was necessarily more durable, but the mother-storm *did* make it sentient, and as such it resisted the Dwarves' attempts at forging until the bitter end.
👆It had the essence of the Mother Storm already in it so it most likely would have been more durable than the raw version.
*shrug*
that skurge scene was epic....
about uru being unbreakable?

seems things have changed some... uru was never terribly impressive by the usual "unbreakable" standard in comics. it's been broken quite a few times in its history. maybe marvel is trying to change it up a bit? i always figured that the gods SHOULD have been able to fashion a metal stronger than adamantium, but, uru is certainly no match for it--at least historically. /shrug
^ Current Marvel is definitely painting Uru in a different light than in the old days. Not only is it extreeemely rare, but it's also nearly impossible to forge(even by Dwarven standards)... Hence them dragging an entire damn star into their furnaces(and burning it out) just to begin the forging process.
In regards to Uru vs. Adamantium...

Granted Mjolnir is 'enchanted' Uru, but I still love that scene. As you said: God-made alloys *should* be superior to human-made alloys.
yeah, that scene was pretty cool. of course, in that fight, his claws could barely cut thor either.... 😘
it was explained (and i showed the scans in some other thread) that the more enchantments laid on uru the harder it became. be fine with me if it simply changed to being uber durable from the start. i remember when perrikus cut it in half too. and then there was this classic:

thor uses his fingers to carve a hammer out of uru. lol
nothing imo beats him finding that forge in PITTSBURGH though, to remake mjolnir..... classic stuff. with everything else in marvel seeming to get a bump, uru is likely something that deserves it. 👆

Uru has definitely gotten a HUGE bump in current continuity... And it's about damn time. excellent

Tieri has stated in the interview that both weapons are indestructible. That's the way it should be.
Unlike adamantium or Cap's shield, Mjolnir never had the luxury of certain retcons... "great blast furnaces of Pittsburgh" begs to be retconned 😂
