'A bit?' Uh huh. biscuits
It's a good moment, I'll give you that, but Kal-L had help from Superboy, Darkseid, and Alexander Luthor, which detracts from the David and Goliath moment, imo. To that end, you and both know that there's better moments for (a) Superman than that where he didn't require that level of assistance to save the day.
And as far as Thor vs. Celestials go, to deny the level of hardcore metal that confrontation was is folly.

Surfer is the best

... considering Rune froze the entire Time-stream with just the Time Gem,
and the LT had to save Surfer from its affects,
then Surfer easily defeats the entire IG.
That's dope but ... (I know yur smiling with me right now)I'm just having some fun btw. stoned
👆 Though Reed is the best, actually Doom's brilliance, then Reed's intelligence,
but I like Thor's honor, & Captain Marvel's heroic demeanor.
I realize it's shit, but David/Goliath moment would probably be that. If only for the writer saying "**** your level"
A good contrast would be all the abstracts attacking a distracted Thanos. Surfer is pure heart.

The best fight was Mandrakk VS. Superman (on the highest stakes possible)
Personally, I thought this was an awesome fight for what the author tried to make it stand for and what it represented. A battle between 2 ideas, the birth of comics and the end of comics. A fight about how Superman and his "story" about being send to earth being the sole survive of a forgotten race is stronger than even that which represents the death of comics. Even when the end comes, Mandrakk (representing the end of comics), Superman's story will still be greater than the end. Did I mention the entire fight was fought between the time of 2 heartbeats. AND to top it off, when asked by Mandrakk what should be written on Superman's tombstone, his reply...

Nothing is better than COIE. Thor was a gnat to Celestials and didn't do shit to them. The ending of COIE where Kal-L shouts, "I've had enough" and kills the ****ing Anti-monitor is still the greatest hero moment against impossible odds.
your bout with heatstroke either did some damage to your brain via heat convection in the skull; forever warping your personality, or while laying in the hospital bed in a stupor caused by the heat stroke, your feelings towards superman transformed into massive envy since he absorbs the same sun rays and gets more powerful, rather than faint and cause kids to poke you with sticks.
hint* it was both
