I can agree with that assessment. But what I can't understand is that why you didn't address his post for obvious flaws? He said something more ridiculous.It took a shitload of time to what Magneto did. Its not even a viable tactic here. The statement that magneto wins over Superman by dropping a city on him is more ridiculous than anything I said here (because it's not a viable tactic).
Exactly because it was so far-fetched (IMO), given the situation, it was not worth commenting on. To me, a genuinely viable tactic would be grabbing WW's weapons and using them against team 2. But we don't even know if they are in this match. The OP never specified weapons. And, like I said, that could only work if Superman targets Kurse first. Otherwise, Magneto gets "not" killed (seriously, go f*** yourself, Zack Snyder), when Superman plows into him at high speed.

2. Magneto later was weaker. Struggling to lift SF bridge. The version of Magneto wasn't specified.
Different Magneto from an erased time line. We have no idea whether the OT version was even a Horseman. Closest indication of similarities we have is Xavier and Storm's hairstyles. And that only shows that they had interaction with Apocalypse (assuming the reasons for their hair, or lack there of, is the same in both time lines). It doesn't tell us anything about Magneto though. After all, there are other massive discrepancies between the two time lines. For example, Angel from the OT was a young adult in the mid 2000s. The new version was around that same age a few decades earlier. Plus, we don't know how much the events, in the past, at the end of DoFP affected Magneto. If things had played out differently, would he have gone into hiding, had a family, had them killed, leaving him open to recruitment? Far too many unknowns there, so any theories about him being a Horseman in the OT is nothing but speculation.
And, as per the rules, we use the most current version unless specified otherwise. And the most current canonical version is X-Men: Apocalypse Magneto.
