Easter eggs
knowing nods and subtle references found
in Avengers infinity war defenders
Earth’s Mightiest Heroes like Kevin
Bacon warning this list contains major
spoilers hey that is a really cute
number 10
Thanos is coming and now it’s here what
should I say I am as you are likely
aware the 3rd Avengers film was inspired
by a comic book miniseries the Infinity
Gauntlet and its sequel the infinity war
in a nice little homage to the source
material the film recreates a scene from
the opening of Infinity Gauntlet in
which the Silver Surfer comes crashing
through the roof of Doctor Strange
sanctum sanctorum loudly proclaiming in
a panic Thanos is coming now Silver
Surfer didn’t factor into Avengers
infinity war for legal reasons but Bruce
Banner was tapped to fill his shoes and
number nine the crimson bands of Saito
Rach speaking of the good doctor did you
happen to notice that he whipped out a
specific spell pulled straight from the
pages of the comic books in fact there
were multiple ones fans might have
recognized the self-replicating act as
the image of icon as well as the volts
of ballsack and the winds of watoomb but
the biggest moment of Doctor Strange fan
joy was surely when he busted out his
iconic crimson bands of cyttorak against
the mad Titan using them to stop Thanos
[Music]
taken all together infinity war was
quite the comic accurate magic show for
dr. strange number eight vanos reenacts
snatch boy system of course not every
easter egg is a reference to comic books
the moment in which Thanos confronts the
collector includes a great little
knowing wink to fans of Guy Ritchie what
is that Vince this is a dog so or more
specifically his beloved crime comedy
snatch though this British film has
little in common with the reality
bending MCU event film they do both
benefit from a performance by Benicio
del Toro and feature a plot that
involves the pursuit of highly coveted
stones early on in snatch del Toro’s
Franky four fingers asks a jeweler where
is the stone 17 years later the tables
have turned and now it’s Del Toro’s
character on the receiving end of this
intimidating question number 7 bubbles
when bubbles are being used by an extra
planetary being trying to change the
universe as we know it they tend to
stand out in one of the film’s most
dramatic moments Chris Pratt star Lord
is forced to make an impossible choice
when Gamora asks him to kill her rather
than let her be taken prisoner by Thanos
robbing them of all agency however the
reality stone wielding Thanos turns
Pratt’s blaster into a harmless bubble
gun but wide bubbles well in the hugely
popular fighting game Marvel vs. Capcom
2 New Age of Heroes
Thanos his attacks for some strange
reason often involved bubbles regardless
of the in-game logic it was a nice touch
within the film number 6 a pale vision
for the uninitiated the fact that vision
lost his coloring and turned a pale
shade of greyish white after his death
when a human dies the loss of blood flow
results in a notable loss of color in
the face so maybe they just applied the
same concept to our Android Avenger sure
but it was also a nod to a storyline
from the comics in the West Coast
Avengers series from the late 80s to
early 90s vision was kidnapped by the
government and dismantled though he was
eventually reassembled
he lost his emotional identity which was
coupled with a change in the color of
his synthetic skin number 5 the blue man
honestly this Easter egg was so subtle
he were more likely to see its
acknowledgment in the credits than the
reference itself as the credits roll at
the end of the film there’s a line that
thanks 20th Century Fox for the use of
an Arrested Development character huh it
seems I might have stumbled upon an
acting opportunity it turns out that the
Russo brothers thought a particular
member of the extended Bluth family was
the perfect fit for the collectors
Museum and so a blue man sporting a
mustache glasses and cutoff jean shorts
can be spotted in one of the glass cases
it’s not to buy a few K actor David
Cross but it still makes for a
wonderfully odd and specific easter egg
but it’s funny if I had to sought out a
support group I never would have gotten
this gig as an understudy for a
performance art group number four the
howdy big buck not bad for the end of
the world Bucky Barnes was certainly a
sight for sore eyes and Avengers
infinity war for both audience members
and Steve Rogers of course now that he’s
apparently been deprogrammed his Cold
War moniker Winter Soldier doesn’t
really fit anymore and so to chala
as the White Wolf this one may be tired
of war
the white wolf has rested long enough
this could just be interpreted as a fun
play on black panther and term of
endearment but the name actually has
history in the comics first introduced
in 1999 and the pages of Black Panther
vol 3 White Wolf was the name eventually
adopted by an orphan who two challahs
father found and raised apparently the
royal family has a soft spot for strays
number three an eye for a God at the end
of thor ragnarok the titular god of
thunder regained his power and mojo but
he lost an eye in the process apparently
the good folks at Marvel Studios weren’t
interested in having a one-eyed hero for
long apart from Nick Fury and so Thor
was almost immediately offered a
high-quality replacement by his new
friend and Ally Rocket Raccoon thank you
sweet wrappers but why did Rocket have a
spare eye on hand well as you might
recall he’s got a bit of a habit of
collecting spare limbs and we actually
saw him acquire it from a Ravager called
vork err in guardians of the galaxy vol
2 he’s gonna wake up tomorrow
[Music]
gotta love a raccoon with hobbies number
two defenders assemble now credit where
credit is due
rocket would never have had an eye to
give Thor had baby Groot not gotten it
for him unfortunately by the time
Avengers infinity war rolls around Groot
has entered his surly teenage years come
on group put that game down you rot your
brain the silver lining his adolescent
rebellion takes the form of obsessively
playing a delightfully relevant retro
video game arcade defenders this works
on multiple levels most simply the game
centers around protecting earth from
alien invaders much like the plot of the
film group put that thing away
now I don’t want to tell you again
group anyway hey more importantly though
the comic-book team the defenders has
featured numerous infinity war
characters over the years including Hulk
and Doctor Strange among others number
one uncle Morgan he might not have the
name recognition of Uncle Ben but it’s
the obscurity of this lesser-known comic
book uncle that makes his referencing
such a great easter egg when trying to
pitch pepper on the idea of them having
kids before he went off to an alien
planet
Tony suggests that they could name their
yet to be conceived or even agreed upon
child Morgan after an eccentric uncle of
his father was named Morgan Morgan
Morgan Stark made his debut in tales of
suspense number 68 in 1965 and was
actually Tony’s villainous cousin who
out of jealousy
was constantly trying to steal the
company or otherwise ruin Tony the
eccentric indeed do you agree with our
