Replicate this strength feat: Pulling the midgard serpent
Who in DC can replicate such a powerful feat of strength like pulling the midgard serpent, a creature so big it was crushing the earth in its coils and causing worldwide devastation? Name the weakest being who can do such a thing

What Thor did there, and what people are passing it as, is similar to me saying that Superman [and the new gods] is capable of blowing planets with his heat vision, or holding them in his hand, based on this scan, where he is in the New Gods world, interacting with the normal [main DCU] dimension:First of all, the Serpent didn't encoil Earth in normal space, he went into the Void [notice its size in Asgard space - nowhere near continent, country or even city wide]:
That's why he is said to be in his etheral form, in the normal dimension [Earth's sphere]:
And that's why Thor needed to go to Asgard to deal with the Serpent, otherwise it would have made damage in the normal [Earth's] Universe:
Once there, Thor travels by boat in the void between Asgard and Earth [where the Serpent is] and uses a simple bull to fish it out:

http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt19/Max_Eisenhardt/Thor_1983_327_17.jpgIn the subsequent showdown we, again, painfully see that the Serpent is nowhere near continent/Earth sized, relative to Thor [thus the bull being used as bait, lol]:

http://i593.photobucket.com/albums/tt19/Max_Eisenhardt/Thor_1983_327_20.jpgIt is flat-out stated that space [and time] aren't the same in the Void [as if this wasn't ridiculously obvious anyway - when Thor fishes the goddamn Serpent in a boat using a bull from its supposed Earth-sized proportions]:
In the Void [as in the New Gods world] the normal limits and proportions of time/space don't apply. That's why, eventough the Serpent was small enough for Thor to stand face-to-face with him, and get fished out with a bull, he was capable of encoiling the Earth, and crushing it with his etheral form [as seen in the normal space/time] from the Void.
It's a non-feat.
This feat has been one of the most baffling, well kept lies in the history of KMC.
I was trying to turn a new leaf, give Thor some credit, since I actually like Thor and riffing on him is just way too easy nowadays. But now you're saying even his greatest most renowned feat of strength is not valid. Is there anything Thor has besides his hammer?!? Is there nothing sacred?!?
At least allow him this one moment of glory

Originally posted by XLR87T3Thor has the "Captain Marvel" syndrome, in that his physical strength feats not relying on Mjolnir's striking mostly come up to how much of a b itch he is, compared to Hulk, or 'mom feats' the likes of "this bag of groceries weights a ton!' silver age hyperbole, taken literally. Unfortunately, for the last decade, Banner is balls deep and holding his lips tight shut, so Odinson is content with "baseball" feats.

Mention of time/space is in reference to how time moves in the void as opposed to midgard. Nothing to do with size and weight. What is this, kindergarten level? Pretty easy to understand.
facepalm
This is just whining at this point.
Anyway, Mongul has actually moved a planet sized snake but it was dead.

Glad u agree it was referencing flow of time.

The scan itself says Serpent was ethereal and not solid in Earth's dimension.
Ergo, it wasn't actually the size of the earth but it's presence in the void was causing havoc on Earth. Even a mongoloid could understand that.
You guys should at least be consistent. One can say the snake sentry isn't that big if people want to play games.
When Sodam cut it's head off and Mongul tugging its head by the tongue, it didn't look much bigger than a building. Yet we know it was much bigger based on the artist's interpretation(and writer's description) of its size in relation to Daxam. Now just because the Midgard serpent didn't look as big when Thor was fighting it, it automatically means it was tiny? This comics and not everything is drawn to scale accurately. The sheer size and weight of the Midgard Serpent was causing all kinds of natural disasters ffs.
🙁
Really just reeks of hypocrisy and pettiness.
Plus it's a moot point because Jormugand is a magical creature and it "retains its full weight and power" no matter what the size.
There have been times Thor was barely able to lift he Midgard Serpent off the ground. This time he actually had to overpower its strength and weight.
It was a ridiculous feat no matter how u look at it.

Stop your shitty obfuscating droning responses.
This happens everytime with you. You make long winded attempts at deflecting with poorly thought out whataboutisms that don't apply.
And it definitely does not apply here. It has nothing to do with comics being difficult to draw to scale.
They meant that scale very literally.
Again we see Thor physically tie the serpent in a knot around an ordinary phucking tree. With branches and leaves that would easily fill up its jaws. And that was after he got It's attention with a normal sized cow. The serpent is literally no thicker than the length of Thor's wingspan in the panel where he wraps it around the tree. And it's head barely big enough to swallow the cow whole.
The rest of what you wrote is pointless. The feat is supposed to be for Thor yet all you've proven is that the serpent is strong enough to contend with Thor.
So in essence all you are saying is that we are supposed to be impressed that Thor is strong enough to fight something...as strong as himself!! Wowww!
"Thor is so strong he can contend with his own level of strength!"
Jesus Christ.
The feat is dead. The serpent struggled while it was wrapped around an ordinary tree. Right after we see it metaphysically (not literally) wrapped around the earth.
Lol... Whataboutisms..
If this wasn't clear enough, the Midgard Serpent is a shape shifter. No matter what size it shifts to, it is naturally large as phukk therefore it is heavy as phukk. We know this because it has been described countless times that its body can encircle the earth(or hold the sea in place yadda yadda). And no matter its form, it retains its full weight and power.
So any interaction with Serpent requires an incredible amount of strength.
All this chest beating doesn't excuse the hypocrisy here.
