Official Easter Egg/Reference Thread

[thalidomide]

Can anyone confirm if Carol Danvers' name was mention during Hawkeye and Loki's escape from the HQ?

[kedrell]

Not that I heard. But there is another easter egg which nobody has mentioned yet.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

At the begining when they were evacuating the shield facility before Loki showed up there was a sign that read: project pegasus

what is a life model decoy, does it have to do something with Ultron or Vision or something?

They typically don't. LMDs are usually just body doubles for VIPs. I wouldn't be surprised if the MCU uses them as a possible basis for Ultron or Vision if they are used in future films.

'I'm Russian...or I used to be.'

There might be more easter eggs in the tv news stuff at the end.

How about this:

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Thanos is seen at the end.

The Tesseract/Cosmic Cube.

Coulson's trading cards feature some comic classic comic images of Captain America.

Coulson gives Tony video files on all the Avengers team members. There's footage of Hulk rampaging from The Incredible Hulk movie, things like that.

Black Widow used to be a killer and an assassin before she worked for SHIELD.

That's just off the top of my head. I'm sure there were some more but it was hard to spot everything the first time through. I'm sure I will notice more later. I didn't notice the ET's the first time I saw Phantom Menace or R2D2 in Star Trek.

Bold in the spoiler quote.

She also said she used to be Russian, if I recall correctly. To which Loki replies "what are you now?".

Wait, they CUT STAN LEE'S CAMEO? WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!?!?!

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

When Stark hijacks Widow's comm system in her jet it's playing an AC/DC song I believe. They were featured in both previous Iron Man films soundtracks (more so in the second I think).

Also I'm wondering with the Janitor guy who talked to Banner ("then you've got a condition, son"). Is that an easter egg or just that it's a familiar face in that role?

Also lastly.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

When Cap finds the Hydra tesseract weapons there are also Hydra uniforms like those worn in WW2 by the soldiers that Cap fought. Also it could be stretching it, but since they kept referencing TFA as an Indiana Jones type of adventure, the gear is kept in old wooden crates in a secret government facility (the helicarrier), seems a little reminiscent of Raiders of the Lost Ark's ending. Though that could be coincidence.

Edit: Oh my bad, I didn't see 04nbod post the Widow easter egg.

[Spidey220987]

This MIGHT be stretching it a bit lol, but the scene where

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Agent Coulson approaches Tony Stark in his tower, to join The Avengers, and Tony uses his tech to relay the information on the screen in front of him, it reminded me a lot of this from Avengers: EMH

Just a thought

[Spidey220987]

Oh yeah, and during the Tony-Loki conversation, Tony

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

refers to the Avengers as "Earth's Mightiest Heroes"

[Spidey220987]

Doesn't Stark also call Hawkeye

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Legolas

at one point during the battle? lol

[kedrell]

Yeah, just before he flies him to the roof.

[StanLee Wannabe]

The LMD reference was pretty cool. They've been used for various characters like Ross, Stark, MHill, and others. Since they technically have super-powers, it'll be interesting to see if they work them into future plots in a dramatic way.

[RaZaTrOn]

Anybody managed to check if the AIM thing i posted is something? I'm going to see it again Tuesday followed by another on Wednesday. It could be nothing but I just couldn't make it out.

I guess logically why would you need to for an "Avengers" movies since all the super heros are together now maybe Wheldon wanted that to be a solo movie thing.. idk gotta be some easter eggs i havent seen the movie soo idk lol

[spideyboy_1111]

Subscribed. (sorry my phone doesn't give me the non "make a post" option)

[Orphix]

Not sure if you would count it as an 'easter egg' but....

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

...Banner says he "Broke Harlem" last time he transformed.

So that obviously references previous films.

[Steve Holt]

good to know the Arctic opening of TIH is canon now (minus the cap cameo of course)

[Orphix]

Not necessarily. Banner only mentions that he pulled the trigger and "the other guy spat it out". That doesn't quite happen in that deleted scene - he just crushes the gun.

Pendantic, I know!

[Drummerdude7]

Either way it's a fairly clear reference to that scene...and totally badass.

[The Infernal]

Not sure if this is an easter egg.

Spoiler!!! Click to Read!:

Someone was playing Galaga.... and went back to playing it.

[kedrell]

Yeah, Stark even mentioned it.

[TheVileOne]

The easter eggs were subtle but they were there.

Turns out this is just ALPHA written in yellow. Shame

[Ultimatehero]

Watching all the movies together (edited, not one after another) there are TONS of coincidences...

For example Bruce walking in the rain over the bridge could be timed right with Thor trying to get the hammer back in the rain.

Thor arriving on Earth and wondering where he is more or less matches up with Bruce waking under the waterfall, wandering over to a truck and asking where he is.

There are a TON of other examples like that spread throughout.

Basically somehow, unsure how or it's just my mind seeing things, it matches up to a remarkably creepy and brilliant Pink Floyd's 'Wizard Of Oz' trip level masterpiece. It just feels like one big long film with the same themes, matching scenarios, and everything. As said, even the weather often matches up.

[Incredible Hans]

Not an easter egg, but a nitpick...

The SHIELD canteen has very good food. Selvig looks as if he gained some weight since the Thor movie.

[spideyboy_1111]

It's just a coincidence. It's common to have a heroes pitfall to be during the 2nd act. As for the rain, unless Thor can make the entire united states rain at the same time... It's unlikely. Thor was in the west, and hulk was on the east coast at the time
