number 10 the original guardians
guardians of the galaxy vol 2 you know
it’s a shame that it took the tragedy of
losing
yondu to bring us all together again but
I think he’d be proud knowing that we’re
back as a team more so than perhaps any
other director working for Marvel James
Gunn has a deep deep love from the
source material from which he’s drawing
upon while Peter quill and company are
the lineup that have seen the greatest
success both in terms of comic book
sales and in making it to the big screen
they are in fact the second group of
oddball characters to use the label
guardians of the galaxy as a nod to the
guardians who came before this Gunn
brought to life some of the original
crew for one of his post credits scenes
we got to see star hawk Charlie 27
Martin X mainframe Aleta and Krug are oh
and let’s not forget the original
guardians first enemy taser face tell
him the name of the man what sealed his
fate number 9 project Pegasus and
project 42 the Avengers we need you to
look this over as soon as poss I don’t
like the MCU is unlikely to run out of
storylines any time soon a fact they
like to remind us of with little Easter
eggs like this one within the MCU
project Pegasus is an advanced
scientific research facility in the
comics project Pegasus serves a similar
purpose
after Loki’s big entrance destroys it in
the film however stark receives a
collection of files pertaining to his
work there among them is one labeled
Project 42 for the uninitiated that
means nothing but comic book readers
will tell you that that’s a reference to
the prison Stark and company built in
the negative zone during civil war in
the comics
well the MCU ever be getting its own
interdimensional detention center who
knows but the idea clearly exists in
cannon number eight journey into mystery
Thor given the long history of these
characters a lot of their sillier early
adventures or characteristics tend not
to make the transition to the big screen
and honestly that’s probably for the
best
but it’s still nice to see the
filmmakers give a little nod to the
humble beginnings of these
larger-than-life heroes
case in point in for a passing billboard
advertises the New Mexico area as a
journey into mystery which just so
happens to be the series in which Thor
made his first appearance in it he
fought the stone men of Saturn also
known as the Cronin’s one of which he
actually fights early on in the second
film Thor the dark world anyone else
number 7 Ed Brubaker Captain America the
Winter Soldier Loki who the hell is
Bucky nowadays no one stays dead in
comics if a character is killed off
they’re sure to make a triumphant return
in a matter of months or years probably
with a complicated story arc detailing
the means by which they cheated death
but that wasn’t always the case in 1968
after 27 years of service at Captain
America’s side Bucky Barnes was
retroactively Lee killed off in World
War two and he stayed dead for nearly
four decades then in 2005 writer Edie
Brubaker revived Bucky and gave us the
awesome character known as the Winter
Soldier
well when Bucky came back from the dead
in the MCU Ed Brubaker did it again by
playing one of the on-screen scientists
number six tales to astonish ant-man now
before we start I’d like to introduce a
very special guest this company’s
founder and my mentor dr. Hank Pym we’ve
said it before and we’ll say it again
it’s nice to see a character’s first
comic book appearance get an on screen
not while Thor is debut got a billboard
ant-man’s actually got some lip service
courtesy of the movies villain Darren
cross aka yellowjacket the original
ant-man Hank Pym made his comic book
debut in tales to astonish number 27
which saw the discovery of the Pym
particles and Hanks first experiences
with shrinking it was eight issues later
in that same title that dr. Pym would
debut as a bona fide superhero adopting
the mantle of ant-man in the film after
showing footage of Hanks burly
adventures
cross loudly proclaims tales to astonish
it’s quick but a nice nod nonetheless
silly I know propaganda tales to
astonish number five selvig’s greater
marvel map for the dark world imagine
that this is our world and
now well thank you and this is another
world normally they’re separate but
during the alignment everything is
connected stark and banner are both
geniuses but professor Selvig could
certainly give them a run for their
money
unfortunately selvig’s reputation took a
bit of a hit after being rendered insane
by Loki’s influence during his time at a
mental institution however he outlined
some brilliant theories clear as day on
sell big stock board we can see a
mention of the crossroads a dimension
known to dr. strange there’s also
reference to the fault
from the guardians of the galaxy comic
book and perhaps most excitingly the
6-1-6 universe which is the name given
to the primary continuity of Marvel
Comics in short selvig’s figured out
that it’s all connected simple bending
questions number four I can do this all
day
Captain America Civil War how do you do
this order you know that a cinematic
universe is doing well when it’s
expansive enough that it can start
making references back to its early
films in Civil War Captain America’s
third solo outing and fifth appearance
in the franchise he comments to a friend
turned enemy Tony Stark I can do this
all day does the line sound familiar
that’s because Steve Rogers is quoting a
much younger version of himself from
many decades back before undergoing the
experimental treatment that turned him
into the super soldier he is today he
uttered those exact words to a bully
beating him up behind a theater a lot
changes over time but not the fighting
spirit and optimism of Steve Rogers just
don’t know when to give up do it number
three the Prowler and Miles Morales
spider-man homecoming I don’t want those
weapons in his neighborhood I got a
nephew who live here when tom holland
daunted the tights he became the third
big screen spider-man but the first to
join the MCU he received a warm welcome
from audiences and MCU devotees but with
spider-man homecoming he also raised a
few questions like will Tom Holland be
the only spider-man in the universe
Donald Glover played a small-time
criminal known as the Prowler who in the
comics is none other than the uncle of
Miles Morales who took on the role of
spider-man after Peter’s death in the
Ultimate Universe Glover also happened
to voice miles on the ultimate
spider-man cartoon making this small
moment truly fascinating my name is
miles
and I’m right number two the collectors
collection of Easter eggs
guardians of the galaxy like we said
before James Gunn really likes to flex
his knowledge of the source material by
including the collector in his first
guardians of the galaxy film he got the
opportunity to include a whole
assortment of recognisable oddities to
thrill his fellow comic book lovers
amidst the collectors many cases we can
spot cosmo the space dog who many will
recognize from his time with the
guardians in the comics then there’s
Howard the Duck everyone’s favorite
hard-drinking Mallard you can also spot
a dark elf and a Chitauri what more
could fans ask for Rose number one
Hitler punch Captain America the First
Avenger this one isn’t exactly subtle
but hey an iconic superhero punching out
one of the most hated men in history
shouldn’t really be subtle now should it
during his performance for the troops
Captain America winds up and throws a
simulated punch right at the Fuehrer’s
face even without the comic book context
it would be a widely appreciated moment
but what makes it all the sweeter is the
fact that this right hook is taken
straight from the cover of Captain
America number one first published in
March of 1941 cap has weathered his fair
share of changes over the years so it
was nice to see the filmmakers pay
tribute to his fascist smashing roots
