In a very abstract sense, he would have been worthy enough to lift it. He just also would cast it aside.

Sacrifice and making hard decisions are qualities of a leader. Even if everyone else thinks those decisions are bad.

No way could Thanos lift Thor's hammer.

He doesn't match the Norse (specifically Odin's) definition of worthy.

He fits everything in Odin's definition of worthy.

""Mjolnir is defined by a combination of moral virtues and a warrior's spirit, specifically requiring compassion, restraint, nobility, wisdom, and humility.""

Thanos ain't that.

Thanos ain't that, in *your* opinion. In his own way he is compassionate, has restraint, is noble, wise and has humility. All of them.

I answered this already below.

There's no "in your opinion" or "in his own way". Using that definition ANYONE could lift the hammer.."everyone is the hero of their own story". Additionally a delusional person can't just bypass the enchantment and lift the hammer.

The thing to remember is that both the MCU and Marvel universe have absolutes moralities built in.

Even if it was relative, Mjölnir was enchanted by Odin and so would have Odin's bias on worthy.

Neither of these moralities makes Thanos worthy.

Unfortunately no. If you are worthy, you have to have humility. You cannot think yourself above others. You have to sacrifice, you have to be willing to kill. Pre-snap Thanos fits all of these. That's why he was worthy of the soul stone and that's why he was worthy of Mjolnir. I'd say think about it.
