Almost every fanart of Captain Marvel looks better than Brie Larson. The same cannot be said of RDJ, Evans or Hemsworth.

Here's what Stormbreaker would look like with an Asgardian handle:

Eh... No wornder I did not recognize the name... I never watched the newer movies. Thors weapon? Isn't that blasphemy?

As far as I know for mythology, it is M'jol'nir... or M'Jol...

I know I would not want to be calling a semi sentient weapon, whom supposedly can judge its users and victims, by the wrong name.

Does not look much like a hammer either...

He has Mjolnir but for reasons that are spoilers needs to seek out a new weapon.

As to the last... Actual war hammers, that is actual hammer-like objects used as weapons of war, often did not look like what we would call a hammer.

The important parts were a blunt surface to deliver the impact of a considerable amount of mass over a comparatively small surface, thus concentrating that impact, and usually a handle of some length, to add leverage. The theory was similar to that of a mace, except where a mace is of a uniform size "all about", a war hammer was a striking surface on one side, and a spike (or sometimes blade) on the other.

Mjolnir, in fact, although very good looking in a comic-book sort of way, didn't resemble most war hammers at all. Not only was its head of a shape that did not reflect actual weaponry-- historic or mythical-- but the handle was too short, more suited to a mace than a hammer. (That, at least they got right from the myths!) As to the design, well, Lee and Kirby knew comics, yes, but didn't know squat about myth except that Thor was "this guy with a hammer". So they designed the look of Comic!Mjolnir after the only hammers either were familiar with that weren't used to slam down nails-- the Sledgehammers of the various teams working on the streets of New York.

So, really, as far as weapons go, Stormbringer looks more like a hammer, than, well... a hammer.

I've not actually seen the later movies so I don't know what Falcon looks like all that well. I was just figuring it wasn't rhodey 'cause he didn't have that dumb mustache.

EDIT:

Ok, yeah, I double checked, I think it's understandable I didn't recognize Rhodey :p

Yes I don't recognize Bruce Banner either. (In case anyone wants to out smartass me, yes that was sarcasm.)

Marvel has changed actors for several characters. Those 2 are the only noticeable ones, that being said in both cases the original actors were only in one movie.

makes you wonder what the rest of the MCU would have looked like if they weren't so greedy (at least in Howards case can't remember what Nortons thing was)

According to various articles, there was friction between Norton and the Marvel higher-ups, especially concerning how Norton decided to rewrite parts of The Incredible Hulk, to better suit how he saw the character.

While I too would like to see how Norton fared among the rest of the MCU, Ruffalo has done a great job as Banner, imo.

Kind of. I actually think that Ruffalo is a bit too casual and calm as Bruce.

He's not a bad actor, and I don't dislike him in the role, but his take is a bit too friendly and comfortable. He just seems awkward and embarrassed when interacting with others, almost like a shy teen interacting with a cool socially outgoing person who is being nice to them, and not a world weary person terrified of what he might do at any moment.

Bruce Banner is high strung and avoids social interactions as much as possible. Ruffalo really didn't get that across outside of his introduction scene in the Avengers.

Norton did manage to pull of that barely holding it together quality Banner should have. I actually think he did understand the character more than Ruffalo or the executives did.
