Anyway Team 2 wins. That's all that matters.
You can't be this stupid, I responded to that post as soon as I read it and only then did i finish reading all the new posts, so like I said, I didn't miss your concession, I just hadn't reached it yet, do you understand now or I do I need to continue explaining this like you're two years old?

These are laughable conspiracy theories and you'd have to do a helluva lot of proving to show that they are anything but such; to prove that the writer's intention was to create some ambiguous false headline off to the side of the screen to cause random debate on a Vs. forum.
Again, we defer to good ol' Occam's Razor here. Superman moved the tectonic plate because that is the simplest explanation.
And its probably an easter egg reference to the Christoper Reeve Supes doing the same exact thing in the 1978 movie.
As to the plausibility of the feat. We don't know the hard limits of Cavill Supes yet. Jor-El even told him to continually test them. He may have gotten exponentially stronger in 18 months.
But seeing as a highly weakened Superman busted through the World Engine, which was durable enough to fall at hypersonic speeds from space, down to the Earth and plow through a mountain completely unscathed, it's readily believable to me.
Said World Engine was also terraforming the entire planet and it would have gotten the job done in seemingly a few hours at most. Superman flew up through that same terraforming beam, again while heavily weakened.
Keeping in mind the scale of destruction he was dealing with, it becomes entirely plausible that he shifted a tectonic plate by himself.
There is so much wrong with this I don't even know where to begin.
First, it wasn't going to be completed in a few hours. Shit it probably wouldn't have been in months. Think about it. It starts terraforming. Military officials and see and are trying to figure out what is happening. Supes later shows up with Lois and is briefly the military on their plan. Then they start the plan of action. Shit, all that was likely 2 hours. Further, and more proof it would've taken vastly longer than your claiming. Just look at the destruction is was doing. Just in the scenes we see... after it had been working for at least a hour or already. barely any of the city was destroyed. Just a small fraction of it. You can see each pulse is taking out just a limited area. A few hours, yeah, not.
World engine durable enough to coming barreling through our atmosphere and stop LOL. That's a durability feat now? That pathetic. That's what spaceships do. They travel through space and land places. To even call that a durability feat is truly hilarious
Newspapers get stories wrong all the time. What do you mean conspiracy theory? It's common place in the real world. Especially when Superman generally performs feats and then leaves for the next emergency. he doesn't conduct interviews about what he just did. For all we know, they just saw him doing stuff and guessed what happened. That isn't the best feat to even try and use.

When did superman shift tectonic plates in the original series. I remember in Superman 1, when Lois died in the earthquake. Didn't he just fly around the earth and reverse time so that it never happened and then just saved her before. Am I remembering this wrong? It's been awhile.
There's a scene where he goes underground, starts pushing up against the Earth and repairing some of the Earthquake damage. It effected quite a large area. I'm guessing that's it.

Originally posted by Silent MasterYou want to know why and I want to know why you feel it wouldn't be a stomp. That is why it is a called a debate not a an investigation where one person asks questions and the other responds.
Stating an opinion isn't the same thing as backing up a statement. backing up a statement requires the posting of evidence.
I'll answer your question if you are able to provide one reason why it wouldn't be a stomp.
