Thanks to everyone asking how I do an Easter Egg breakdown! Here’s what I do:
Pull up the highest quality version of the content!
Prelim watch and outline!
Rewatch, frame-by-frame, and compare to other movies!
Then light the candles and bleed a pentagram on the floor… (1/9)

He arrives not with a burst of flame or a growing cackle from the shadows, but from a whisper in my heart that was there from the start.
“What dost thou desire?” He rasps.
“The truth,” I whimper.

Silence.
Hours pass.
Did He hear me? I repeat:
“The tru—“
As soon as my mouth opens, a swarm of locusts gushes out.
As I cough out the final one, I see they’ve assembled into a message on the blue dungeon wall:
A-23 .
(One locust is out of formation.)

“Renslayer’s hunter ID?”
The locusts affirm by burrowing back down my throat.
“Don’t do this to me again,” I beg. “Please. If I say A-23 is a nod to Renslayer’s relationship to Kang in Avengers #23, I’ll be all-in on Kang.”
“And?”

“Don’t do this to me again,” I beg. “Please. If I say A-23 is a nod to Renslayer’s relationship to Kang in Avengers #23, I’ll be all-in on Kang.”
“And?”
“AND I can’t be wrong again. Not after the last time.”
The voice growls:
“DOST NOT THOU *PREFER* TO BE WRONG? HAST THOU NOT SAVORED BEING ‘THE GREATER FOOL?’ FOOLS INHERIT EMPIRES; SKEPTICS REAP ASHES.”
“But Marvel Twitter is SO mean.”
He salivates:
“Leave them to me.”

He salivates:

He grows impatient, but I have to be certain.
“Look, I see the Kang signs, but I also saw the signs for You.”
I know I crossed a line from the blood geysering up from the Bang can. Finally something drinkable.
“I DO NOT HEEL TO THY CONVENIENCE!” He roars.
Ugh, here we go…

The routine lecture. How “devil” is an overblown colloquialism, how Agatha deserved her moment, how no one read West Coast Avengers anyway, the Chinese film board, etc.
Then of course, my coming damnation, totally ripped off from Event Horizon. Still scary though.

Then finally the bottom line:
“Kang shall be thy gospel, and thy redeemer. Rejoice. Then, thy flesh is MINE.”
He retreats into my depths, leaving claw marks in his wake.
I’m left shivering.
Screaming.

Once the tears are dry I find the rest of the Easter Eggs, shoot the video, and then it’s off to the editors to work their magic!
That’s pretty much it! Thanks again for asking and happy Sunday!
