“Same thing was said about Cap 4…”—Fans laugh as post claims Thunderbolts is comparable to Captain America: The Winter Soldier

Marvel's upcoming Thunderbolts is comparable to Captain America: The Winter Soldier, according to a social media post. This comparison has sent fans into a frenzy. Thunderbolts is an upcoming project from the MCU and is set to hit theaters in 2025.

A netizen commented, (via @BeRaiEn88/X):

"Same thing was said about Cap 4…"

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is one of the most liked movies from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Back in 2014 when the movie was released, it gained massive popularity, and it is still loved by Marvel fans all around.

Comparisons are a staple of internet culture, but this time, fans were not ready to accept it. Some netizens giggled in disbelief, while others took sharp jabs. Let's say the internet was not willing to let it slide.

Thunderbolts is the 36th installment in the Marvel franchise. When fans grow up with celebrated superhero comics and characters, it's not easy to place trust in just anything at face value.

Here's the post in case you want to have a look:

After Secret Invasion and Quantumania left aching wounds in their memory, this claim about Thunderbolts has been met with raised eyebrows and skepticism.

Marvel recently came up with Captain America: Brave New World, and after its release, fans had mixed reactions. Some sang high praises while others sighed in disappointment. But that is what the internet does best.

Last thoughts

Fans would surely want the upcoming movie to be an absolute banger. With a stacked cast (featuring Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell and more) the movie is all set to hit the theatres this year. Will it be any good? Only time will tell (we are waiting with our ears stretched). Until then, fans are chanting prayers of, “please just don’t be mid.”
