Luke Cage MCU references/easter eggs (Spoilers)

When they were being held up in harlems paradise, the thug sugar refers to her as a night nurse.

They also directly reference Captain America. On the other hand "silver hammer" seemed the common go-to phrase over Thor.



Porzingas actually narrows things down timeline-wise. The show seems to take place in a very vaguely defined time after the first Avengers. It also seems to take place before the Savokia Accords because of Silver Bullet's dog that didn't bark (if the Accords were in place, they certainly would have been mentioned). I also got the impression this took place in the Fall over a fairly short period of time. So that would place this season in the Fall of 2015, assuming Civil War takes place around release time - so Summer of 2016. Does that sound right to anyone?

Considering there has been no mention of Shield, I think these shows may be taking place before CA-The Winter Soldier.

In Jessica Jones, Trish specifically references Age of Ultron. Safe bet that JJ, DD season 2, and LC all take place after Age of Ultron since they all reference each other.

Also as seen on AoS, since Winter Soldier, SHIELD has been working working in the shadows, not publicly recognized. The current season is apparently going to change that but as of right now there's no reason for SHIELD to be name dropped at all on netflix.

Do you remember the AoU reference?

Do you remember the AoU reference?

It was early in the season, Trish was on the radio arguing that a mind controller could exsist, she points out that aliens invaded and something along the lines of "robots dropped a city from the sky"

Ok ... you sure about that? I'm really a MCU timeline-tard about all those references and stuff in the universe. And I can swear that she hasn't mentioned no robots and falling cities fro the sky.

Or maybe, I could be wrong. But I'm 90% sure I'm not.

I fell like there had been an aou reference on a netflix slow but can't remember.

I don't know ... I really don't think there has been an AoU references ever on a Netflix show.

Okay, so I was 100% sure that it happened and I tried to look for the exact scene and turns out I can't for the life of me find it. I could have sworn Trish referenced it during the interview with Hope. I can clearly picture her saying "And robots dropped a city from the sky" I'm going to have to get my head check, I'm typically good at picking up on small tidbits like that and remembering them, not making them up. So unless another character said it I'm going crazy.

This has made me legitimately worried about my mental state.

So, any Season 2 easter eggs/cameos so far, for those that seen some episodes?

In one episode, Luke Cage says, "So you want to HIRE this HERO?"

In the final episode, Tilda has a hairdo similar to her character in the comics.

In episode 5, someone asks who would win in a fight between Luke and the "Green monster"/Hulk before someone breaks a glass bottle over Luke's head.

Plus there is a callback to the "Where's my money, honey?" Scene

In one scene Nandi told Misty that O'Reilly had transferred to New Orleans.

That had me cracking up.

In episode 8, there is a reference to CLOAK & DAGGER.

Are we using this thread for season two? I was taking a ton of notes on Easter Egg references in Season Two. I would say this season felt the most connected of any Netflix show. Of course, there's the reference to Hammer Industries that continues from season one. There's a Cloak and Dagger reference. And it's full of references to the other Netflix shows: Foggy appeared, Colleen appeared, and Danny appeared. They also mentioned Jessica Jones.

With comics references, plenty of characters are comics characters:

Cockroach, Piranha, and Tilda Johnson are all Luke Cage characters. D.W. is another long-standing Luke Cage character, although he was changed from a white guy to a black guy. They even reference the running gag from those early issues where Luke tries to get the coffee machine to work properly. Rosalie Carbone is a Punisher villain, so I wonder if she'll pop up in Season Two of that show. Finally, the company Mariah was investing in early on is Glenn Industries, which was run by the father of one-time Daredevil girlfriend Heather Glenn.

Mr Fish is another Luke Villain although he wasn't a mutant fish man in the show like he was in the comics.

They are burning through Luke Cage black mobster villains.

I'm wondering if they will switch things up next season and use a villain that isn't another gangster trying to take over harlem.

Diamondback isn't dead and he's in the clutches of the Doctor from Seagate if you all recall. Just saying.
