[Supernatural] When Lucifer and Michael were set to fight it was supposed to be world ending, how come fights involving even more powerful beings are so lackluster?

So two archangels are supposed to set 90% of the world on fire and kill most people. but

* Gabriel vs Lucifer didn't even knock a chair over
* Leviathins vs angels/eve/ etc were similarly low in scale
* Confrontation between Death and Castiel+all purgatory souls = no disruption
* Literal actual God with an army of demons, the hosts of heaven, the most powerful witches and an archangel against God's Sister the Darkness doesn't even break a window in the warehouse they chose to throw down in.

So what gives?

Lucifer and Michael are more than just archangels, they're sort of on their own level. While Gabriel could have perhaps put up a fight, he really didn't stand a chance, which is why he gambled on tricks. We never got to see a real Gabriel vs. Lucifer fight. 

Similarly, when we see leviathan fighting angels, it's full-on leviathans fighting lower-level angels. It took God to bottle them up, and even he couldn't destroy them. For leviathan, it was a cakewalk. 

And perhaps that's part of the problem. When we see fights, often it's asymmetrical, so the more powerful being is just toying with the less powerful being. Or they have such different methods of fighting, like a witch vs. Lucifer, that they can't really meet in battle any more than an eagle can engage in battle with a virus. 

As for Das and Death, was that even a fight? 

...now don't get me started on the scythe and Death's death. Wtf...
