Use of Combat speed wasnt that impressive. I mean Lex had plenty of time to repeatedly give commands to Ultraman mid-fight.
That was consistent throughout, not a one off.

That honestly seemed more like PIS than a legit feat.
I mean even Mr. Terrific and Lois from where they were should have been sucked in if that was a proper black hole. Certainly Krypto and Metamorpho.
I honestly hated the movie. They made Superman far too weak, with no sense of invincibility. His reaction speed was terrible, and his immature, whiny personality was frustrating.
I will correct one thing some of you mentioned: Lex predicted Superman's moves before he made them. He issued commands prior to Superman launching his attacks, never mid-swing. The timing of Lex's commands was always preemptive, not reactive.
Interestingly, once the probes were destroyed, Superman was suddenly able to dodge and counter Ultraman with ease. He was literally beating the snot out of him.
In my opinion, Superman holds a slight edge in speed and strength over Thor. Thor, however, has better combat skill, elemental powers like lightning, and a weapon that could potentially one-shot Superman - for example, by slicing his throat.
Superman's other major weakness is his morality, he holds back too much to avoid killing and will stop occasionally allowing his opponent to plan.
Overall, I think Thor wins this fight, but Superman does have a chance, especially considering how he handled Ultraman once the probes were destroyed.

Thor. Superman hasn’t really had any notable feats yet.
He held up the Kaiju multiple times and it was only on screen for a second or two but the scanners showed it was like 20k-30k+ tons. He also held up that skyscraper which had the added weight of the other skyscrapers that had dominoed before it.

^ Nice theory. Would make more sense, except the computer image was showing the exact position they were in to try the move from.The fact that they could communicate commands to him in real time at all means clearly nothing significant was happening per second of combat.

Good catch. The Kaiju was around 100 meters tall, placing its weight between 20k and 30k tons.
This makes the fight tougher for Thor, but imo, he still wins 6/10 times.

I didnt say anything about mid-swing.
Point is clearly a whole sequence of fight moves was not happening every second. Let alone a thousand punches per second.
Heck when Krypto took out the cameras Lex couldnt help. IOW he was helping by Observing the fight. Not by predicting how it would go before it starts.
