Or you could look at the fight again and see him throw the blades with a spin and then watch Winter Soldier where Cap lobs his shield with basically the exact same motion. Not to mention, I'd really like to put forward that, and this is important, shields are not thrown weapons. The amount of people that throw a shield is pretty feckin' small, even more so when you consider, not that it returned to the user, but that it rebounded. So saying it's like 'every thrown weapon in fiction' is again, over stating it.

Funnily enough, looking at the massive amount of fiction that includes thrown weapons, some people have to retrieve said weapon, some have more to throw, and then there's the ones to whom it returns (Usually Boomerangs) but not many actually go through the trouble of showing that the weapon has rebounded off of something to return to the user (Advent Children showing a shuriken striking the target and passing through for example) saying that the 'circular weapon that rebounds' bears no slight resemblance to the other notable 'circular weapon that rebounds' in fiction is stupid as your generalisation falls flat. Shockingly, every thrown weapon will be similar to another thrown weapon by merit of being thrown, you've hit the nail on the head, but a weapon the same shape, launched in the same manner and travelling in a similar patten is not a case of 'oh it's just like all the others' It's a similarity.
