Superman vs. Mangog

So handbooks now. Okay. Let's take a look at this part:

It says that the serpent is "invisible and intangible as far as HUMAN BEINGS are concerned." So how does this relate to the notion that Thor doesn't pull his full bulk against his grip on Earth and how does this relate to the notion that his size changes as he moves from here to there which is the main assertion being addressed?

If hes not tangible and is ethereal, how can you know its weight?

It was magically crushing the Earth (not physically since it was intangible). Therefore, Thor overpowered the magical grip (at most) and just pulled the head hard enough to make the serpent choose to stop crushing the Earth (at the least).

Either way, it's not the feat some were making it out to be in the past.

Note the part in all caps in my post you responded to.

It's a nice feat.

Same as Herc holding up the sky.

It's just not quantifiable, so it's not some trump card to be used on battleboards.

Either way, it's an Earth crushing grip that is broken whether magical or not. And Thor still tows it's weight.

It's like Hercs all over again lmao

It's qualifiable.

It was implied it was a feat no mere giant would be capable of.

That's it.

And if it’s ‘coiled’ around the earth and trying to do whatever, but there is no physical damage so what’s it doing? Chain reaction of sorts? Impactin the earth in a magical way? Again that’s not a physical feat. They just had to counter it’s magical strength.

Who is even discussing the upheavals? We can reasonably judge his weight.

That scan is clear. This shouldn't even be debated any further.

I haven't even read the comic, and no, that scan isn't clear at all.

Fail to see how the serpent feat correlates to THIS battle. Totally irrelevant

Hulkster suddenly came in with this tangent lol.

Anyway, Superman takes him to the Sun to fight. It's not BFR as the battlefield is now the Sun.

Truth.

I like Mangog but i find it weird he couldn't put down Odin, Odinson and Jane...after the raping he gave War Thor it was extremely anticlimactic.

I really liked War Thor. It was a waste of a character imo. But then I always did like Volstagg.

Perfect character. The whole dtory leading up to it was epic. Total waste

Mangog is one of Thor's villains.

And the World Serpent feat is arguably his greatest strength feat.

That's why it keeps getting brought up.

Clear as day.
