The moment comes from Avengers: Endgame (2019), when Steve Rogers, also known as Captain America, takes up Mjolnir during the final battle against Thanos. Fans had debated for years whether he was worthy, ever since he briefly moved the hammer in an earlier film, so the payoff became one of the most celebrated scenes in the Marvel films. Clips of the lift are now reused online as shorthand for earning something through persistence, especially in edits where a creator wants a single, instantly recognisable heroic beat.
