DCEU Superman Downgrade

[FuriousFieryFist]

Hello all, I recently watched Man of Steel in my free time and noticed something after checking out his profile on the wiki. I'm no professional with calculations but glancing at the 7-C calculation he currently scales to I noticed a pretty big discrepancy. The calculation is based on assuming the height of the mountain we see is equal to that of Highpointer peak, which is over 1500 meters tall; However, when watching the clip this feat occurs in Superman is clearly visible and is far larger than the less than 1/800th size ratio (1500m/1.85m) the calculation suggests. With that in mind I think the current calculation should be disregarded and a new one using Superman's visible size on screen in order to scale the mountain should used.

Using character heights to pixel scale large objects like mountains is almost never a good idea because the size disreperancy would be so large that it'd be inconsistent with how the mountain is portrayed which is a large-scale mountain that goes beyond the base altitude of cumulus clouds (which is between 1000 to 5000 feet) and has ice on-top of it due to the coldness of the atmosphere.

Yes we see Superman be visible alongside the mountain, however that would just be for us the viewers to see what was going on in the narrative, as otherwise if he was realistically portrayed with the mountain, he'd be just a super tiny non-visible blip. For that reason I disagree with the downgrade

I disagree, we know for a fact that this scene takes place not far at all from Superman Kryptonian ship which is confirmed to be on Ellesmere Island, the smallest peak of any mountain range present there would be the Osborn Range's Mount Townsend which has an elevation of 1,235 m tall. Also consider the film medium they want to make the action visible for the shot you're not exactly gonna have the mountain just explode from an invisible force. The Mountains are visibly portrayed reaching into the clouds so there is no way this would work as a downgrade
