lolwut, you've effectively latched onto an attempt to "bust" a non-myth.
The Midgard Serpent varies in size and length depending on how it manifests on the planet. The instance Zop showed, which was a dead Midgard Serpent, didn't even come remotely close to being the same thing as the one that Thor removed from the planet. Nor was the one that manifested itself in Thor: Disassembled. At least on panel. For all we know, it could be in its "globe encircling" size as it referred to as the Midgard Serpent, but it wasn't shown in the comic nor did it achieve the same effects as before, so I wouldn't personally claim it was, but its not impossible.
Using examples of those where the serpent clearly isn't shown to encircle the globe as evidence as to why Thor lifting it is a non-feat is pretty ridiculous to say the least. And the argument concerning the difference between Asgard and Midgard to be the same as the difference between normal DC reality and that of the New Gods is laughable. It is completely not the same thing at all.
I never personally attempted to quantify the Midgard Serpent as calculating the weight is a test in futility, to say nothing of the resistance such a creature would exert. But to go to the lengths as to render it a non-feat? 😂
Really not surprised, unfortunately.
