Big difference.
Of course not but when you look past the pretty lightshow, you will see that the realm had seen huge battles before and was visibly worse for wear, parts were already crumbling before Thor struck the ground.
It clearly focused on showing his power going through the building making it 'live' and then going through him. Whether that amped his lightning or whether it allowed him to channel more power from the sky and use the building as conduit instead of himself who knows but it certainly appeared to aid him. As I said Thor has never shown lightning on that level in the films even when trying to slaughter the Frost Giants or when he fought Loki.
Thor 'generated' enough force to knock 2-3 of the things backwards which is better than what Hulk did cause he did what Hulk did but on a much larger area.
Thor did one shot them. One lightning attack was all it took to take them out.
I'm not denying that the realm was battered but people trying to say the attack Thor let lose somehow wasn't still impressive is not based on fact. It was still supporting itself and the cities, and race of giant beings.
Thor's attack was causing that self sustaining landmass to crumble for quite a distance. That is impressive.
Did you ever think that instead of trying to make it seem like the building amped him, it was just a way of showing the crowd he was getting ready to unleash a huge blast, and was channeling a ton of energy. That seems more apt then a human building him aiding in anything. It doesn't make sense.
And Thor's Frost Giant Buster was by far is biggest lightning attack.
