1. Odin's Birds Are Always Watching Thor And Loki

Odin’s ravens have a huge part in the Thor Comics. In the comics, Hugin and Muninm Odin’s two ravens serve as Odin’s eyes and ears all over his realm and beyond.


But in the movie, they are a bit more unseen. However, in Thor’s coronation ceremony scene, the two ravens of Odin can be spotted sitting on each side of Odin’s throne and hovering over the king during his Odin sleep. One of the ravens can also be spotted in Odin’s appearance in Thor: The Dark World as he is attending to it on a balcony. In the Avengers Movie, the birds can be seen when Thor took Loki from the Quinjet. They can later be seen perched on some rocks before Thor and Loki slammed into the ground and later, flies past the mountaintop.


If this is intended like in the comic book, perhaps Odin cares more about his sons, constantly checking on them by sending his ravens to watch them.


2. Bruce Banner in Spider-Man: Homecoming

After being frozen for decades, Captain America writes up a list of cultural items, people, and events that he wants to learn to blend in into modern society. However, fans have noticed that the list changes, depending on where you watched the movie.


In the United States, the list consists of Steve Jobs, I Love Lucy, and the moon landing. However, the list was changed when premiered in other countries. Like in Russia, some of the notes were replaced by the Soviet Union Dissolution and Vladimir Vysotsky. The UK includes The Beatles, Sean Connery, and the World Cup. In France, Cap wants to learn about Daft Punk and Louis de Funès. In South Korea, it is the Old Boy and Dance Dance Revolution. Lastly, in Mexico, Neri Vela, Shakira, and Maradona’s Hand of God made the cultural inspiration.


Star Wars, Nirvana, Rocky, Thai food, and Troubleman are well-known all over the world that it was not replaced.

The biggest scene in The Avengers was when the whole team was fighting Loki. After the biggest fight scene, however, parts of New York, especially Stark Tower, were destroyed to ruins. In the film, you can see that the letters on Stark Towers are all missing except for the "A".


This is a clear suggestion that the Tower later became Avengers Tower, having almost the same design.


5. Captain America's Shield Appears

Captain America appeared in almost every MCU movie. His shield made several appearances in some Marvel movies. You just need to pay close attention to see them all.


You can catch a glimpse of Captain America’s shield in the First Iron Man Movie after Tony Stark leaves Afghanistan and returns to his lab. As Tony Stark is removing his suit, you will see the shield on top of the workbench behind Stark. The shield also re-appeared in Iron Man 2 when Agent Coulson was visiting Stark. Coulson asks Stark about the shield.

In The Avengers, Stark can be seen wearing a Black Sabbath shirt. In 1970, Black Sabbath released a song called “Iron Man” and is a nice relation to Tony Stark’s alter ego. In Thor: Ragnarok, Tony Stark’s shirts is hiding other cultural references. When the Hulk turns back into Bruce Banner, Thor hands him one of Tony’s shirt to wear. The shirt has a print of the Duran Duran album cover. One of their hit songs is called Hungry Like the Wolf, which foreshadows Hulk’s battle with Fenris Wolf.

For every Marvel Fan, a Marvel Movie without Stan Lee’s cameo would not be complete. We’ve all always expected Stan Lee’s cameo in every MCU movie. His first cameo was when he acted as the hot dog vendor in "X-Men" (2000). He then later showed up as a surprised bystander who saved a little girl from debris in "Spider-Man" (2002). You can also spot Stan Lee in all the Iron Man Movies. In the first Iron Man, Tony Stark mistakes Lee for Hugh Hefner. Later in Iron Man 2, Tony mistakes him again for Larry King.


His final Marvel cameo was in 2019 in the Avengers: Endgame. You can spot him cruising down a New Jersey Highway in 1970.
