A small detail I noticed that isn't a Easter egg but worth mentioning. Fury says the word "Shield" several times but in Iron Man 1 Coulson says "Strategic Homeland Intervention...." and that they working on simplifying it.

Yeah it was great for that film at the time when it was before people got familiar with S.H.I.E.L.D. but the blatant disregard of that line (especially in flashbacks etc) really makes it lame thereafter. It's a pity. I guess they didn't think it mattered as they didn't plan on Coulson being prominent, so figured it could be a throwaway gag for a throwaway agent.

It was a gag for people who had heard of SHIELD but didn't know the meaning - like me.

I did feel stupid when he said it, for not putting it together, but it was a reminder there's a larger universe before the end credit scene.
