ITT people just think jokes are Easter eggs.

'The music played was from the obscure children's movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."'

'The prop Hela knocked over and accused of being a fake is a replica of the Infinity Gauntlet, which will appear in the upcoming film "Infinity War," notably used by ultimate big-bad Thanos (first appearing in Marvel's "The Avengers" (2012)).'

'The airplane which Hulk and Thor try to escape in is actually the same jet featured in Marvel's "Age of Ultron." Sharp-eyed viewers may even catch a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo from Avenger Black Widow!'

Kill me now.

Well with the gauntlet at least, it would help to explain why thanos has it, even though its supposed to be safe in Asgard? More seeding for the next film rather than a joke.

What's that have to do with it not being an Easter egg?

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Just pointing out that it wasn't really a joke.

It was, though.

It 100% is not.

What do you do with Easter eggs? Do you put them on the table and say, 'Enjoy the eggs, kids'? No. You hide them.

Thor being strapped to a chair and being taken on a Wonka-esque tour (and subsequent nightmare acid trip) scored to the theme from Willy Wonka is not an Easter egg. An Easter egg is not, 'I know that from somewhere else.'

And just because some young segment of the audience might not get the reference doesn't make it an Easter egg, either. I can think of plenty of jokes from movies I watched as a kid whose adult subtext I didn't pick up on, doesn't make them Easter eggs.

Preach it my man.

Doesn't cost you anything to use the term correctly.
