“But I want a new Marvel feeling” — X users LOL as Anthony Mackie promises ‘Avengers: Doomsday’ will bring back the old vibes

The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) is a worldwide phenomenon, with every movie release bringing excitement, theories, and, of course, opinions. That said, in a universe where the MCU is moving into new territory with different tones and characters, there are some fans who pine for the "good old days" when things used to be simpler and more nostalgic.

As Mackie gets ready to don the suit as Captain America in this highly anticipated film, fans on X (formerly Twitter) responded, and safe to say that the reactions have been nothing short of entertaining. As some embraced the possibility of going back to the origins of the MCU, others just couldn't help but express their reservations, and it has been one of the hottest tweets of the day.

Anthony Mackie Promises Avengers: Doomsday Will Bring Back the Classic Marvel Vibes

It all started with Anthony Mackie’s comment that Avengers: Doomsday would recapture the magic of the earlier MCU films, promising an experience fans could relate to. The timing couldn't have been more perfect, with many fans feeling that the MCU had ventured a bit too far into uncharted waters with its latest slate of movies and TV shows. Mackie’s words struck a chord, and of course, Twitter sorry, X being X, did what it does best: reacted.

Now, we all know that when a celebrity says something about a big franchise, the internet will take it and run with it, but sometimes, they also take it and twist it into a meme. Fans weren't just ready to accept the promise of an old-school Marvel comeback; they were also ready to have a bit of fun with it. The mixture of anticipation, skepticism, and memes created a perfect storm for viral content.

As soon as the post went up, the reactions started flooding in, and let's just say, they were a rollercoaster of emotions. Some fans were hopeful, others were not convinced. A user humorously quipped, “But I want a “NEW” Marvel feeling. 😭🥹”

It was the perfect sarcastic take on how fans seem to always want something new but get stuck in nostalgia. After all, who doesn’t want to relive the glory days of The Avengers (2012) and Guardians of the Galaxy (2014)?

Then came a wave of reactions that leaned into pure sarcasm. One user pointed out,

“Lol funny they said the same thing about his shtty movie.”

This user was clearly referring to some of Mackie's past projects, jokingly suggesting that his latest MCU venture might not live up to the hype. Ah, the beauty of the internet where nothing is sacred and every Marvel movie is a target for memes.

Not to be outdone, another user threw in their two cents, saying,

“When they’re saying stuff like this, you know it’s going to be ass.”

While this reaction leaned heavily into skepticism, it also reflected the growing anxiety that not all MCU fans are on board with the direction the franchise has taken. After all, the MCU has had its ups and downs. Thor: Love and Thunder, anyone?

Then, of course, there were those who couldn’t help but jump on the “it’s never going to work” bandwagon, dismissing Mackie's promise entirely with a simple

“no it won’t.”

The bluntness was, in its own way, a call for transparency. Fans want more than just promises; they want solid proof that the “old Marvel feeling” isn’t just another marketing ploy.

The reactions were a mix of humor, skepticism, and a dash of optimism. It’s safe to say that Mackie’s promise of an “old Marvel feeling” has stirred up both excitement and doubt. But the internet, as always, did what it does best: make everything about the drama.

Whether Avengers: Doomsday will actually bring back that old Marvel feeling remains to be seen. What’s clear, however, is that Mackie’s promise has sparked a viral frenzy, proving once again that Marvel fans are some of the most engaged and vocal groups online. The reactions to the post show just how invested people are in the MCU’s future and how every word from the stars is dissected, joked about, and turned into meme gold.

In the end, no matter how the film turns out, one thing’s for sure: The Marvel fandom will always keep things interesting. So, here's hoping that Avengers: Doomsday delivers on the hype otherwise, we’ll be in for even more hilarious reactions.
