I'll be happy if it's just a random claw hammer.
Still looks like a weird thing for a show to try unless you're going all in on the cyclic nature of the Norse myth universe.
What made me curious is Straczinski had a great run on Thor reincarnating the norse gods on earth post-Ragnarok.

Hell, Mjolnir is meant to be more of a claw than a hammer--more of an axe than a cudgel. Marvel made it the Mjolnir that people think of today in pop culture. So, hell...they could make it a kitchen knife, at this point.
I had really high hopes for Ragnarok but was sadly disappointed on almost all fronts. It wasn't pop-culture Thor; it wasn't more traditional Myth Thor, either. Everything you
think you're going to see/get, you don't; if you're into Nordic myths, you don't get that,
either. (yes, a few terms, myths, here and there, but...). With regard to Loki...well, you'll need to watch b/c other wise, it'll get into spoiler-ville.
Thor is remarkably dimwitted, over and over. You know, the usual "the hero is thwarted in his desire to do X," is teeth-grindingly annoying, speaking of tropes. Anyone here who watches it will see what I mean.
Or, hell, who knows, enjoy it. As I said earlier, wildly different tastes for different folks.
