Imagine you were pulling a 300lb weight with a rope and couldn't manage to pull it. Now if I grab your waist and pulled with you then you would now certainly succeed. Better yet, get in a moving truck and then see how easily you would succeed.

Again I don't care what the hell the handbook said. In the issue the serpent was clearly physical.
It only looked physical but wasn't. The panel said it was in ethereal form.
Where did it say, they were magically walking on a Force Field? Pure speculation. Loki clearly used it as a bridge. And why on earth would it be choose to not materialize when it's wrestling against Thor to stop him from destroying the Earth.And do you even listen to yourself? If it was not materialized then how the hell was it crushing the entire planet in it's grip? It clearly says on panel, that it's crushing the planet Earth in it's grip. If it was not materialized then how is this happening? Your argument doesn't even make sense to me.
It is inferred that they were using some sort of magic to walk on the Serpent since the Serpent was in ethereal form. The Serpent was 'magically' crushing the Earth not 'physically' as stated. It is written and explained that the Serpent can materialize whenever it chooses. You a Thor fan don't know this? If the Serpent can never dematerialize then it would kill nearly everyone on Earth by suffocating nearly entire continents. Everyone else would keep bumping into it right and left. I don't recall Spider-man or Aunt May ever bumping into an invisible Serpent, do you?
And at the same time when Thor was trying to pull him off Earth his tail was tied to Asgard, further backing up the fact that he was materialized. To say otherwise is just stupid.
Yes his tail was tied but not materially. The Serpent was in ethereal form and intangible. Only through magic could it be causated with.
Like I've said before, that boat did nothing but provide leverage for Thor. Ground to stand on. It clearly said that it was Thor's strength that made the Serpent shatter it's grip. Stop trying to twist shit.
I don't care what it says, without the boat moving back Thor could never pull an astronomically long Serpent off the Earth with only 3ft arms. It's grip could have been only 10,000 tons of magical force who knows. All I know is what the panel says and what the handbook backs up.
We see Thor lifting one paw, but then when the illusion is broken, it's shown him lifting the serpent. Albeit he said he only lifted it slightly but he still said he lifted it. Lifting something a bit is different than lifting a portion of something.
Are you kidding me? Thor only lifted a section, nothing more. The rest of the Serpent lay flat on the Earth. Can you lift a super long rope completely off the ground if it lays straight and flat and you lift from the middle only? Hell no!

I don't believe in Kang's words. Marvel in those days were full of hyperbole. But at least we see Thor can't manage to overpower the weight of half a planet, lol.
