I haven't seen the movie, only read the spoilers, but were people actually expecting anything different?
What did the Emperor do in ROTJ besides torturing a neophyte Force user and then getting blindsided and killed?
Snoke IS stronger than Sidious. But people are either delusional or hypocritical if they're comparing 15 minutes of film footage to 30 years of EU work.
Palpatine in ROTJ was shown as a being capable of extreme foresight who literally planned everything that happened in the film besides Vaders betrayal. He also made Vader subservient to him 100% Vader didn't think he can kill him alone and had to obey him, despite Empire portraying him as being invincible under his own right. To a lot of people Palps was even in ROTJ alone some sort of DS abomination who could kill anyone with mere inclination. Ill be honest I need to see the film myself but Snoke isn't looking too good.

ROTJ aside, lets see if Snoke can even match Palps Lightning but youre forgetting his skills and power shown in ROTS as well which since Snoke doesn't ever have a battle from what ive been told then hes got nothing to compare to Sidious' combat prowess
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: fights Rey and Kylo and was throwing them around for a bit, and stomped the ground to cause Force Lightning on Kylo. He also didn't gesture when he threw them.

I don't take casual TK seriously. [SPOILER - highlight to read]: Getting casually shit on my Kylo though, not even holding the lightsaber. Yeah, that's a different story.
