Here's almost every Easter egg from Marvel's first eight films

None of Marvel Studios' films are entirely original. That isn't a criticism: the storyline and characters are adapted from years of comic books, films, TV shows, etc. Each film embraces the past with an insane number of Easter eggs that acknowledges both the source material and the other films in the wholly-interconnected Marvel Cinematic Universe. In a 13-minute montage, MTV breaks down all the Easter eggs from 2008's Iron Man through 2013's Thor: The Dark World— meaning no Captain America: The Winter Soldier, no Guardians of the Galaxy, and nothing from Marvel's Agents of SHIELD television show. Is it complete? "Absolutely not," say someone who knows comic books way better than us. But we still enjoyed watching.
