After seeing a drawer of Infinity Stones, it feels like the decisive Avengers endgame has turned into an irrelevant battle of honor... Honor always belongs to the past, from Loki's fall to the Gobi Desert to pay tribute to Iron Man, to TVA With the retro-looking display of the Rikop Authority mission, it's not hard to see that the show is full of nostalgic elements.

comics

After Loki fell in the desert, TVA sent someone to catch him. The information about Loki shows 4.01, which may be a hint to the 401st chapter of "Thor", which is about 1000 years ago, the relationship between the young Thor and the young Loki. story.

This isn't the only reference to Marvel comics. When Mobius played the video to Loki, it said 35 on the machine. If you go to comic #35, you will find that it is a story about time travel.

Kablooie Gum

This Kablooie brand of chewing gum was held in the hands of a child Mobius met while investigating the murder of a bureau employee. If you look closely, it is a blueberry flavor (spelled as blooberrie instead of the normal blueberries), 9 pieces. There is no Kablooie brand in reality, but according to the blueberry spelling, Kablooie should be a variant of kablooey, which means destroyed.

Coincidentally, there is also related content in "Kevin's Fantasy Tiger World". This is a comic that was serialized in newspapers from 1985 to 1995. A story book that the little boy Kevin likes very much is called "Hamster Huey And The Gooey Kablooie: The Renowned Hero's Most Famous Adventure". Originally a fictional book by a comic book author, it was later created by Mabel Barr about how Hamster Huey saved his town with chewing gum. I don't know if the writer of the TV series was inspired by this comic and used Kablooie as the name of the chewing gum.

Josta Energy Drink

After Mobius brought Loki to the interrogation room, he drank a drink called Josta. This drink is a soft drink launched by PepsiCo between 1995 and 1999. Josta is the first energy drink marketed by a large beverage company. It contains guarana. This plant is rich in Brazil and contains extremely high caffeine. I feel that Josta has a great effect. Not tired. Mobius must have been under a lot of pressure when he was interrogating Loki, otherwise he wouldn't have used this drink to refresh himself.

Shortly after the first episode of "Rocky" aired, the show appeared under Josta's entry on Wikipedia. One of the slogans for the drink is Coulda, Woulda, Shoulda, which means another possible meaning and is inextricably linked to TVA's responsibilities in handling the timeline.

scattered banknotes

Loki, disguised as the hijacker DB Cooper, was teleported back to Asgard with a lot of money scattered in the sky. In 1974, DB Cooper hijacked a plane bound for Seattle, then parachuted away with a huge sum of money. The identity of DB Cooper is still a mystery, but several banknotes contained in DB Cooper's ransom money were found in the Columbia River, Washington state. It seems that the meaning of the film is that those banknotes were before Loki returned to Asgard. , dropped in the air.

When watching "Rocky", in addition to Loki's gags, finding easter eggs is also a great fun, and the first episode of easter eggs is introduced here.
