17 Easter Eggs + References You Missed In Falcon And The Winter Soldier Episode 4
6From references to the cosmic cub to x-men easter eggs, let’s break down the 18 easter eggs and references in Falcon And The Winter Soldier Episode 4.
Our story picks up in Wakanda of six years ago, with our main story taking place in 2025, this means this is 2019 Wakanda just before Avengers Infinity War.
It’s here that Ayo teaches Buck to break free from the words that call him to action. In the comics, Bucky breaks free of his hydra trance by Captain America using the cosmic cube, which essentially marvel’s magic eight ball, to restore the memories that bucky has lost.
Shuri is mentioned by Bucky, of course Shuri being the one to have restored Bucky’s brain.
The Tchaka bombing in civil war is referenced.
As bucky is walking into the building, a number on the wall is 23. This could be in reference to Captain America Civil War #23 when the winter soldier is forced to choose sides. It’s similar to Bucky’s story of this episode when it came to giving Zemo up to the Wakandans, the ones who set him free. Or, side with Sam’s belief that Zemo is still useful.
Sam tells the crew about another Flag Smashers hit with 11 dead and 3 injured. With this totaling out to 14 affected people, this could be in reference to Captain America #14 which I referenced previously as the comic that Cap uses the cube to restore Buck’s memory.
Nazis, Ultron and the Avengers all get a name-drop in this episode.
The star of david-like symbols are seen making up the stained glass in the crew’s hideout. This could be in reference to the Jewish background that the creators of Captain America, Jack Kirby and Joe Simon, both have and used as inspiration to create a hero to punch out the Nazis.
We’re introduced to the gravestone of one of the flagsmashers’ grandparents who fought in WW2. The name means nothing, but his involvment alone is in keeping in reference to the shows’ connection to Captain America, Captain America being a vet himself.
There is a 7 on top of the door for a brief moment when Sam meets with karli. This could be in reference to 1941’s captain america #7. Take a look at how captain america holds his shield. is this not foreshadowing how John Walker uses that same move to kill that flag smasher at the end of the episode.
The way Walker gets powers in the show is he takes a vile of the serum, vs in the comics when The Power Broker, a character in this show, genuinely just gave him the serum. It’s kind of the same thing considering those viles of the serum were manufactured by the Broker along with Nagel.
Zemo refers to Karli’s flagsmashers as her acolytes. With the acolytes being a real group in the comics composed of mutants who follow magneto, this makes for a second xmen reference in this show, the first being with the city of madripoor. This means were 0 for 2 on mutants though.
Falcon asks Zemo about what he intends on doing with bucky considering he has the serum. This is in reference to the comics when it was Zemo who caused the alleged death of Bucky in the first place. The MCU had him fall off a train, in the comics, he attempted to diffuse a rocket that Zemo shot out into the air.
When John walker Captain America meets the Dora Milaje for the first time, he fights them. This is referencing Captain America in the comics when he first met Black Panther. Of course, they fought.
The death on the stone steps is in reference to the death of Captain America, after this death John Walker becoming the murderous Captain.
Lemar Hoskins death was that predictable?? RIP Battlestar! Or John Walker kills the Flagsmasher!
