Zod vs Captain America

Zod jumps and punches Cap's shield the way Thor hit it in Avengers 1.

Does Cap survive?

No, he was hit by a grenade in CA2 and it tossed him off a bridge.

Yes.

Yes, he survives.

Didn't Red Skull dent the thing with a punch?

He definitely survives. A very good argument can be made for Thor actually hitting harder with Mjolnir than either Superman or Zod can hit with their fists.

Yes, he survives, just as he did when Thor slammed his shield (the force blast leveling surrounding trees, I believe).

If Zod hits him in a similar manner and at the same angle as Thor did, and he blocks it in the same way, I see the result being similar to what happened in the Avengers film.

The one Red Skull hit wasn't made of vibranium

I dont remember a single Kryptonian punch that has shown itself to be powerful as Thors high end Mjolnir strikes. And that forest scene was only his 5th best striking feat.

Then there is this showing and one more maybe that makes me think that maybe vibranium doesent work well at certain angles or something. Or the writer just forgot.

Or maybe the explosion was just pushing or something.

Probably because the explosion affects a larger area which means it covers an area larger than the shield can protect?

Whereas a direct hit like Thor's hammer slam or Zod's punch would have a smaller, concentrated area and can be completely blocked/absorbed by the shield.

Just my theory.

He survived Thor's attack because of the angle. And it was an energy attack. It actually knocked Thor back.. Winter Soldier and Red Sull were not pushed back by it. Little chance he can tank a kryptonian hit. Those hits are on another level then what he was taking.

Thor's strongest hits have proven more destructive than any Kryptonian's strongest punch...

So not sure what you're saying about "on another level".

You think Thor and Krptonians have same striking strength, then there is no reasoning with you.

Physical strength alone knites have it in spades.

I think he means that Thor's hardest attacks with Mjolnir have shown greater overall destructive capability than any single hit a Kryptonian has delivered, such as the Jotunheim buster or the vibranium core strike at the end of AoU.

Thor with just his fists? No. Thor with Mjolnir? Definitely possible. Thor with charged Mjolnir strike? You'd have to be blind to think that any kryptonian can match Thor's charged strikes with a single hit.
