For this list, we're looking at small details and comic book references
that you may have missed in the conclusion to MCU's Infinity Saga.
Obviously, a spoiler alert is now in effect.
When Iron Man and Cap go back to the '70s to retrieve the Tesseract and Pym Particles,
Tony has a run-in with his father, Howard Stark.
It ends with Howard asking his driver if he'd ever met Tony before.
This small detail is relevant for two reasons:
firstly, it explains why Tony chose the name Jarvis for his A.I.
He was named after the family butler.
Fans of the "Agent Carter" TV series may have already known this
since the character appears on the show to assist Peggy
in clearing Howard Stark of treason accusations.
Secondly, it's a reference to the fact that in the comics
Jarvis is the Stark family's butler
and not the A.I. that would eventually become Vision.
When Thanos invades from the past, everyone must join the fight, including Pepper Potts.
The long-time partner of Tony Stark arrives with an Iron Man suit of her own.
In the comics, Tony built a suit for Pepper, and she took on the superhero alias Rescue.
While the MCU Rescue armour is far more distinct from Tony's armour
than the comics' Rescue armour, many design elements carry over.
We'll likely never see Pepper don the Rescue armour again,
as Gwyneth Paltrow has announced that "Endgame" marks her final MCU appearance,
but it was a triumphant moment for one of the longest-tenured characters in the MCU.
If you recognized the man detailing his tearful date to Cap during that counselling scene
there are a few places you may have seen him before.
Firstly, if you've watched any behind-the-scenes
or interviews surrounding "Endgame",
you would have recognized him as Joe Russo, who, alongside his brother Anthony,
has directed "Winter Soldier", "Civil War", "Infinity War", and of course, "Endgame".
You might also recognize him because of his habit of sneaking himself into his films.
In "Winter Soldier", he appeared as Dr. Fine,
who treats both Nick Fury and Black Widow's injuries.
In "Civil War", he plays Dr. Theo Broussard,
the man who Zemo impersonates and kills.
You may have noticed a couple of cameos from Community alumni
but did you know that their inclusion is among many Community cameos in the MCU?
The Russo brothers acted as executive producers before making their leap to superhero movies
they included many of the cast members in small parts throughout their careers in the MCU.
This begs the question: Will we ever see Chevy Chase in the MCU?
Yeah, probably not.
In the film's opening moments,
we see Hawkeye's family disintegrate during a picnic
setting Clint down a dark path.
Before they vanish, Clint helps
his young daughter with her archery skills
and calls her Hawkeye when she hits a bullseye.
Will Clint's daughter one day replace him as the MCU's new Hawkeye?
Variety has reported that the Hawkeye series on Disney+ will feature Kate Bishop
but there's been no official word about who Clint will pass the torch to.
Ok, so you might not have missed the fact that Korg, Miek, and Thor are playing Fortnite,
but if you're playing the popular game
you may not have realized why the game was included in the film.
Last year, to celebrate the release of "Infinity War",
Thanos made an appearance where players could grab his Infinity Gauntlet
and become the Mad Titan himself, providing a huge power advantage.
It seems that Marvel Studios returned the favour
by having "Fortnite" appear in "Endgame".
And, as you'd expect, there's a brand new "Endgame" event in "Fortnite"
that allows you to use the Avengers' weapons like Iron Man's gauntlets,
Thor's Storm breaker axe and even Cap's shield.
In "Endgame", we learn that Thor and the remaining Asgardians
settle on Earth and create New Asgard after their home was destroyed
and half their people were killed by Thanos.
This is a nod to similar events in the comics
in which Ragnarok leads to the destruction of Asgard
and Thor finds a quaint spot outside Oklahoma City to create a new Asgard on Earth.
Whereas the MCU version seems like a small fishing town,
while the comic's version is an enormous castle floating just above the ground.
Unfortunately, Norman Osborn's Dark Avengers attack the Asgardians' new home,
hopefully, the MCU's New Asgard won't share the same fate.
In this hilarious scene that takes place after the battle of New York
we get what seems to be a call back to the elevator fight from "Winter Soldier".
Instead, Cap uses the information he learned in that film to trick
the so-called S.H.I.E.L.D. agents into believing that he too was a secret Hydra agent.
Having Cap say "Hail Hydra" is clearly a nod to the controversial Secret Empire story arc
in which it's revealed that Captain America had been a Hydra sleeper agent the whole time!
It turns out that it was actually an evil version of Cap
but that didn't stop fans from raging out about Cap siding with his archenemies.
In "Infinity War" Tony tells Pepper that he had a dream
where they had a son named Morgan.
5 years later, we learn that he and Pepper had a daughter and named her Morgan.
In the comics, Morgan Stark is actually Tony's cousin,
Morgan sees Tony as his enemy and makes many attempts to take what Tony has for himself.
Why would Marvel Studios go with the name of a known Iron Man villain for Tony's kid?
Could something dark be lurking in Morgan's future?
Yeah, probably not.
The film's epilogue is dedicated to the funeral of Tony Stark
who sacrificed his life to rid the universe of Thanos and his army.
In one of the film's most heart-breaking moments,
Happy Hogan comforts Tony's daughter
by asking her if she wants anything to eat.
Morgan simply replies "cheeseburgers".
Happy smiles and tells her that her dad loved cheeseburgers too,
an unexpected call back to the MCU's first film,
in which, upon returning from captivity, Tony demands one.
Endgame marks the final chapter in the story
that began with Jon Favreau's "Iron Man" in 2008,
so it's fitting that he should deliver a call back to his film that started it all.
