I thought that much. Granted, Odin can be a manipulative douche, and he has taken it to Thor more times than once. That whole bit about him hating on humanity was what got me. Considering it was Odin's entire idea to teach Thor humility and give him the soul of a mortal man in addition to that of a god so he could undo Ragnarok, it seemed bizarre that Odin was so pissed/upset that Thor chose humanity over Asgard. He's done it...more times than I can count, and Odin accepted that much.
I figure Fraction's reasoning is that Odin is sorely disappointed he's back and alive in addition to seeing this Serpent coming back to ruin his plans and stuff.
As far as this "All-Father before Odin" thing goes, perhaps the Serpent is actually one of Those Who Sit Above in Shadow or otherwise related to them. It would make sense, or at least make more sense than some random god we never heard about.
