From calling it the "biggest Marvel movie" to declaring "We're so back," X users are convinced Marvel has delivered its most ambitious blockbuster since Avengers: Endgame.
'Pals' Thor, Captain America's reunion gets biggest cheer
One of the biggest talking points from the Avengers: Doomsday trailer is the emotional reunion between Thor (Chris Hemsworth) and Captain America (Chris Evans). The trailer ends with Steve Rogers making a surprise return, effortlessly catching Mjolnir before exchanging a heartfelt moment with his longtime teammate. For many Marvel fans, it instantly brought back memories of Avengers: Endgame, making the reunion the trailer's most talked-about moment.
X (formerly Twitter) erupted with excitement, with one user writing, "WE WAITED FOR THIS SINCE ETERNITY," while another said, "The last time I was excited like this was during Avengers: Infinity War... Bro, Captain America is back." Several fans admitted they had not felt this level of anticipation since Endgame, with one post reading, "Why is this the most effort they've put into their movies since Endgame?"
The Thor-Captain America reunion also sparked nostalgia among longtime MCU viewers. One fan called Chris Evans' return as Steve Rogers "the most significant Captain America highlight" in the trailer, while another claimed the Steve Rogers-Thor duo matters even more than Loki and Thor, celebrating the chemistry between the original Avengers.
Fans were equally thrilled about what comes next. Many predicted that Thor's battle against Doctor Doom could eclipse his iconic showdown with Thanos. "Thor vs Dr Doom gonna be 10x Thor vs Thanos," one X user wrote, while another added, "Thor and Dr. Doom fight scene is going to be epic."
Doctor Doom's arrival also left a lasting impression. One fan confessed, "The moment Doom appeared, I forgot every complaint I've had about the MCU over the last few years. That's how powerful this trailer was." Another praised the teaser as the "biggest Marvel movie" yet, saying Thor's emotional reaction to seeing Captain America again, coupled with the return of the X-Men, gave them goosebumps and restored their excitement for the MCU.
