Under no type of calculation could the midgard serpent be heavier than earth... Seriously. The earth bench press feat would be the best for even classic Thor let alone current. I can't see marvel giving Thor those who kind of ultra strength feats. Best I can see is them having him hold his own for a time with somebody else that may have the superior feats... Like a greenscar/nul situation.

He also failed to lift the Serpent on another occasion. Thor's absolute best strength feats are fairly average for someone like Superman. IIRC narration once stated Hercules was capable of bench pressing a planet and Thor matched him, although that could be hyperbole. I would be shocked if I saw Thor lift that much weight tbh.

Wait, so you're arguing that Superman is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 to 100,000,000,000,000,000,000 times stronger than Thor?

This is a pretty retaaaded feat if it's canon. I mean the narrator saying they're "generating enough pressure to knock the whole planet out of orbit"?!? Thor and Herc aren't even pounding each other. The pressure is coming from their one-armed clasp. That's fukkin astronomical! If that's not planetary strength I don't know what is. (please log in to view the image)
Thor is not that type of character, Thor is all around versatile character more than Superman, but wouldn't be surprise if Thor does it, it's within his powers and abilities, Marvel doesn't really want too get into strength contest that's not what they are about majority of the time, they will if fits their purpose of the story. Thor lifted the World Engine, Midgard Serpent, resisted the weight of scores of planets, it can be done, but that doesn't mean Superman is stronger than Thor, if he is it wouldn't be by that much for us to notice, they are peers.
IMO Thor, Gladiator, Captain Marvel, Black Adam, Hulk, Hercules can do it, but that's just me!!
Great point, actuallu class 30 and your average Asgardian weighs around 400+ and up, Thor is 640, Sif 435, BRB 495, Loki (Classic) 525, Odin and Bor 650, Buri (Tiwaz) 2216...
Thats planteary, if you can affect a planet axis just by arm wrestling that's ridicolus planetary strength... It's within Thor ability to do it, but it wont happen that not his character.

As long as the feats are canon, they can use whatever feats they want.

Generally, Thor's best strength feats, imo, are the ones where he's matching someone in strength or overpowering them. He's not really a lifting/pushing/bare handed punch kind of guy, especially nowadays. If you think his older feats "don't count" by virtue of being old, well, that's your prerogative I guess.
That said, Thor's power output/striking power is generally what writers will focus on in terms of his power.
And? It doesn't make it less impressive. Even though it's a shared feat, he is exerting equal force to Herc which makes it much less muddled. Don't forget, Hulk's HotM indirect planet busting feat is considered one of the most incredibly impressive feats of strength in all comics. In the end it's shared since Betty was on the receiving end of that impact as was Hulk to her.
