2. Natasha’s outfit to meet Betty Ross comprises her disguises in Captain America: The Winter Soldier and Captain America: Civil War.
3. When Loki arrives on Earth, he possesses the Casket of Ancient Writers, confirming that he is, in fact, a Frost Giant. If you remember, Loki finds out he can wield it in Thor.
4. Yelena fans here must have already caught on to this one. But if not, we also see Black Widow in her iconic fighting pose. A total poser that one!
5. While listening to Natasha’s message on “hope,” we see Fury in a friendly cafe, the one where Thor previously smashed a coffee mug, to be exact.
6. The style of the episode was inspired by Marvel Comics’ Fury’s Big Week, released in 2012. The comic shows Fury recruiting everyone for the Avengers.
7. They recreated the donut scene pretty effortlessly here, right down to the background track!
8. Coulson finding Thor’s hammer is another example of a scene recreated from the movies. Except we hear a somewhat disgruntled Fury at the end of the line.
9. The S.H.I.E.L.D agent escorting Romanoff here is Brock Rumlow, who we first saw onscreen in the Winter Soldier.
10. Interestingly, Brock mentions Alexander Pierce since they were both members of HYDRA within S.H.I.E.L.D.
11. When The Watcher mentions the assembling of the Avengers, we can hear the familiar notes of the Avengers theme track in the background. Nostalgic, wasn’t it?!
12. Clint says that even Jackson can’t pick up Mjölnir. F.Y.I., Jackson’s another S.H.I.E.L.D agent from Thor.
13. The pizza delivery uniform Natasha finds in Betty’s lab is from Bruce’s same lab.
14. Bruce’s first line to Natasha is pretty similar to what he says to her on their first meeting.
15. We have our favorite Coulson make another pop culture reference, this time from the Lord of the Rings.
16. When Fury tells Loki they don’t kneel before anybody, I think it’d make for a great T’challa meme. Don’t you feel the same?
17. Bruce transforms into Hulk at the same spot on the campus as in the movies.
18. It’s no surprise that Coulson’s password was related to Cap. I mean, we all remember how giddy-eyed the S.H.I.E.L.D agent was at their first meeting.
19. Fury runs into the Destroyer from Thor on his search for Hank.
20. The S.H.I.E.L.D database shows that Janet Van Dyne, Alexander Pierce, and Maria Hill’s files were accessed alongside Fury and Coulson.
21. Remember Coulson’s password? So while we know July 4 is Captain America’s birthday, it can also reference the comic issue #04, where Cap emerges from the ice and joining the Avengers team.
22. We see the original Avengers Initiative Memo, which Fury writes at the end of Captain Marvel.
23. Hope’s grave in San Francisco is located in an area eerily similar to where the Wall of the Vanished is.
24. If you remember Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Natasha mentions Bucky being in Odessa. In the What If….? episode, Fury says that van Dyne died in Odessa, suggesting that there is a possibility that Barnes may have killed Hope in this timeline.
25. Fury’s “vintage” Captain Marvel beeper from the Infinity War post-credits scene also manages to make an appearance.
26. Hank Pym was the first Yellowjacket, and his outfit references the Ant-Man movie and comics.
27. If we hear the Avengers theme for the Avengers, it’s a given that when Carol finally shows up, we would listen to the Captain Marvel theme.
