Prove that the writers intention was for BvS Superman to have actually performed this feat, rather than it just being added as an Easter Egg and that he meant for BvS Superman to have done so via pure strength.
Originally posted by h1a8Agreed. They can ignore it all they like, but the implication here is pretty obvious, and they all know it. They just don't want it to count because he would then dwarf all their favorite characters even more than he already does. Something like this needs a mod ruling IMO.

Then if we go by what is implied then Thanos is the most powerful being in the universe. Because that what was said of him in the movie. This was the intention of the writer and director because they included it in the movie.
He automatically wins every vs. fight because of what was said.
Also this wasn't an Easter egg or a homage to an older film , this was actual dialog that describes the character.
Its fun to disregard screen feats and just rely on implications or homage Easter eggs.

He could very well be the most powerful being, but that wouldn't mean he wins every fight.

The difference there is that's one person's opinion. Whereas this is a description of an actual feat done by MOS.
That said, like others have already brought up, no details are given on how he accomplished said feat, and the newspaper could have it's facts wrong.

Lol, what? You can't just start mushing Reeve's feats on to Cavill now because of a newspaper clipping. That's ridiculous, especially since Cavill has done absolutely nothing to suggest he'd have anywhere near the strength necessary to replicate it.Until we actually see what happened, you can't just assume your most favorable scenario, it's a non-feat as far as I'm concerned.
The writers intentions >>>> what you want.
The writer has FULL artistic license. Who has the power to say he is wrong?

1. He wouldn't have included the feat in the movie but another feat which doesn't reference this well know feat.
Or
2. He would have given details of how it was different.
The writer WANTS US TO THINK about the Reeve feat. He's not trying to mislead the viewers by causing us to believe he did differently than Reeve did. His intentions are crystal clear.

The city falling wasn't Thor, but the intitial shockwave that flattened the surface was pretty much all Thor.
1. Mjolnir amps striking which takes away from the strength feat.
2. The engines were overloaded with energy and unstable. This contributed to the city breaking apart.

It was a clear "Nod" to the Reeve feat. That doesn't mean MOS actually PERFORMED the Reeve feat.
