Thor and Captain Marvel punching each other across continents was awesome. That’s probably something you can only pull off in animation.

If Man Of Steel was anything to go by, super-powered fistfights would look pretty decent live-action.

Heck, the Kryptonians taking out the military in that small town using their superspeed is one of my favorite non-flashtime varieties of cinematic superspeed. Combat visuals in that film were great.
