Comic Book Questions & Discussion

Even a cursory glance on the comic proves you wrong.

Thor goes exactly the same place where Blake goes, they just trade places. How and why Blake has gained these powers are not explained.

Thor said Asgard is the gem of creation. That means Odin can become as powerful as the Spinix. And then Thor would understand all the riddles that the Spinix asks and kills the person if he/she gets it wrong.

Thor's mortal shells were always superior to Thor himself.

Much better characters, too.

Interesting take.
Maybe we'll actually see something interesting in the Thor series.

As long as Thor gets sodomized, I'm in.

Best comic I read all week. This X-men one-shots are better than 99% of the stuff coming out.

Duggan is underrated, he had some good indie stuff a few years back.

I thought the Midgard Serpent was big enough to circle planets or some shit? Is that city-sized thing a different Serpent? A baby Serpent? A retconned serpent?

Rage..?

That's the usual size it's been displayed as, though it's certainly been shown as bigger.

But typically:

is about right

I think galan was trying to say the midgard serpent pulling feat is not what it made out to be

not saying thor doesn't have other impressive strength feats, just not that one

Phil mythbusted that feat 8 years ago.

Serpent's cock may be huge in the different dimension where time and space work differently.

But on our physical plane, it has a micropenis.

Main question is why the Serpent can inextricably go from city-sized, to planet-sized? That's a HUGE difference.

I've seen Phil and abhi argue over the years that there were 'stipulations' behind the Serpent being planet-sized, and it appearing immensely smaller in this issue seems to give credence to that argument.

Really just wondering if the knowledgeable Thor guys had a deeper explanation..?

If there's an explanation, it's going to be down to artist error/laziness.

It's not functional to draw/deal with something that size, so I assume they tone him down.

Dambo already answered your question.

That's hardly the first time TMS was shown as puny on the physical plane. It can also change its form, as Ilagrok said.

Serpent is only huge in the Void, where rules of time and space don't apply.

Thor's greatest feats are nothing but lies.

Never really looked into U.S.Agent, but remember he's supposed to be an actual 10 tonner or something. Where does it explain his enhanced strength with words, and also what are some of his better feats?

Everytime I see him he's eating dogshit.

So this is from his wiki:

"The Midgard Serpent usually existed in an ethereal form on Earth. Hence, though his size was so great that he encircled the planet, he was invisible and intangible as far as human beings were concerned. By compressing his coils about the planet, he could magically cause storms, earthquakes, and other disasters. Even in his final battle with Thor, although his front portion materialized on Earth, Jormungand kept most of his body in ethereal form. If he had not, his immense bulk would have crushed buildings and people around the globe."
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Jormungand_(Earth-616)

As this seems to be a common issue. Apparently the serpent can keep itself partially intangible, hence why though it's described as being able to "girdle" the earth, when it's outside of the ethereal realm it's size is limited.

But when it's inside the ethereal realm, it can still cause physical damage to the planet through its magic.

So where did Thor lift his coils?

Well, here:

And in that same frame it's confirmed that it girdles the Earth.
