    There are quite a few Easter Eggs to look out for. Like a particular name drop or two, and the mid credits stinger.

    Speaking of that mid-credits stinger...

    Funny thing about Herr Strucker having Loki's spear (and possible Infinity some?) and apparently being one of if not the (Supreme) Hydra top muckamuck. I was kind of relieved that Pierce didn't turn out to be a resurrected Red Skull...but what if the plan is for this version of Strucker to actually be a renamed Johann Schmidt, rescued and repurposed by Thanos much like he did with Loki?[Face_thinking]

    As far as visual easter eggs go that are MCU-relevant, there aren't that many- most of the easter egg are name drops or verbal references, and what visuals are recurring are pretty well explained (or are setup for future character arc spoilers) so as not to really be easter eggs. Though there's a nice nod with what Black Widow wears around her neck in many scenes.

    As for Easter Eggs ...

    anyone have a screen grab on the threat targeting sequence? I know Avengers Tower is in there, but a list is a great place to hide names to get fanboy reaction

    It's too early for that. You're best bet won't be until the DVD and Blu-Ray release.

    Ah, you forget that the internet does not wait for such things to mine it's data ;).

    Though there's probably some names on the non-visualized lists in the data on the sides that aren't in those shots.

    Still, they did a nice job of mixing superheroes, military/government and civilians to sell Zola's targets as not just being future heroes, but even just guys coaching little league.

    Also, apparently Sitwell mentioned something about Cairo, which would suggest Moon Knight.

    The One Above All! Hasn't he appeared in the form of Stan Lee before in the comics?

    Having gotten recently interested in the current Captain Marvel and Ms Marvel runs (the latter so much so that I'm considering buying them as the first monthly comic I'll follow), I wonder about possible MCU adaptation.

    What worries me is Marvel's tendency to alter their series in order to better line up with their movies and whatnot. If a Ms. Marvel movie is to be made, would they make Carol Danvers take back the mantle, or would they just go make Carol start out as Captain Marvel in the movies?

    A Kamala Khan series I think could work out on Netflix assuming the Defenders and its own members' solo series work out.

    I think they'd just start off the series with her as Captain Marvel- it's more marketable and empowering. They'll probably throw a "Ms Marvel" comment in the film as a nod but they'll go with the Captain moniker to sell it so she doesn't come across as the female version of another character.

    How would you confuse a dude dressed like a flag with a woman dressed like a lightning bolt? "STEVE ROGERS HAS SUCH SHAPELY HIPS"

    Never underestimate the massive amount of astounding stupidity out there, Peng. I mean, if we actually have honest-to-goodness geocentrists in our midst, well, anything is truly possible. :p

    Though I'm pretty sure there will indeed be some stupid people who think as such, they might initially think of her as some foil or spinoff of Steve Rogers simply because of "Captain".

    But I hope it'll be a non-issue. Ff they make a Carol Danvers movie with her as Captain Marvel at the get-go, what reason could she have for even being a Captain? Same as Steve Rogers, except as a Captain in the modern-day US army or Air Force?

    Is Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. getting renewed?

    Yeah, I would expect them to leverage her Air Force background- it would even allow them to tie in Rhodey if they wanted, so they could give her a debut boost with a Stark suit flying around.

    I don't think it has been officially renewed, but it's basically expected to be- it's ABC's top rated scripted drama. Plus, there's the added corporate synergy marketing angle- not only is it a show about their property on their own channel that advertises their company, it's a show about their property on their own channel that advertsies their company and some of it's movies- which in turn advertise their show about their property on their own channel....

    But since they've started to hint at Season 2 and 3 plans in interviews, I think it's safe to say the show gets at least one more season to bring them up Avengers 2 at the very minimum.

    I recall reading here that someone once thought Anakin Skywalker was Luke Skywalker, as a kid, back when TPM came out.

    A lot of general audience viewers made that mistake- or, even if they recognized that Anakin wasn't Luke, didn't make the Anakin/Vader connection.

    I still recall walking out of a Sat am viewing on opening weekend, passing by a mom/grandma who commented "It's so nice that they're giving positive role models for little kids like that boy."

    I didn't have the heart to break it to her that that little boy becomes a mass murderer.

    Weren't people pissed off when they were told in advance that the Titanic sinks?

    I would have. There was also another one where someone asked where was Batman in "The Avengers".

    For the centennial of the sinking I remember Twitter blew up with people saying "The Titanic was real?! Omg why didn't anyone tell me?"
