For some reason I've just never liked Spider-Man. He comes off as a whiney, ignorant child that never seems to grow up or mature despite everything he goes through. I love a good coming of age story, but he just never seems to become an adult.

I think it's both, his name and his power. In Thor 1 when Odin sends Mjolnir to earth he whispers to it something like "May he who's been worthy possess the power of Thor".

Well wait then how come Steve Rogers doesn't have the full kit?

Because the point was to show that he's worthy without completely changing him. Same with vision.

I thought vision was able to lift the hammer because he wasn't a living being? At least I came to that conclusion because he never possessed the "power of Thor"

Vision is alive. His body is composed of living tissue woven together with the mind stone and vibranium. That whole speel by Stark arguing that vision could only lift the hammer in the same way an elevator would was him rationalizing why his creation was worthy but he wasn't. The whole point of the scene where vision lifted the hammer for the first time was to show that he could be trusted. Because at that point, almost everyone had their doubts.

Yeah, I don't mind it. Thor is a name and a title/power. God (presumably) is a name, and Thor has the power of a god.

Prince is a title. It's also a name. And, to some musicians, Prince is a god.

It'd be rare to win an argument by invoking Prince, but there you go.
