Halo 3's ending splits the Forward Unto Dawn in half during its escape through a collapsing slipspace portal, stranding John-117 and Cortana adrift in deep space rather than delivering them home to Earth. It plays as a quiet, bittersweet finish, but it directly sets up the drifting derelict ship that Halo 4 would later pick up years afterward.
When the Prydwen makes its dramatic entrance over the Commonwealth, Nick Valentine will recite 'Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing...' if he's travelling with you - a line lifted straight from Edgar Allan Poe's The Raven. Good bit of atmosphere for a giant airship showing up out of nowhere.
A lot of Peach Salinger's very specific, moneyed style in season one came straight from Shay Mitchell's personal closet. She's said she loved getting to dress up after years of a stripped-back look on Pretty Little Liars, and even brought extra bags of her own clothes to set to work out Peach's look with the costume team.
As the credits wrap up, there's a short scene of the Batwing heading back to Gotham while a crate of Titan formula bobs in the water below Arkham. An arm reaches out to grab it - but whose arm you get seems totally random. Sometimes it's Killer Croc, sometimes Scarecrow, sometimes Bane, and nobody's quite pinned down what decides it.
Stick around for the finale's post-credits scene and there's a final QR code that unlocks Moon Knight Annual #1, a comic where he actually squares off against Kang the Conqueror, a character MCU fans had just met via a variant in Loki not long before.
Constance Billard, the fictional private school Blair and Serena attend, is a exaggerated stand-in for Nightingale-Bamford, the real Manhattan school Cecily von Ziegesar herself attended as a teenager. A lot of the show's rich-kid drama was apparently pulled straight from her own school days.
Rather than relying purely on models and green screen, the production built two full-scale, functioning ships for the film: real-life versions of the Black Pearl and the Flying Dutchman that could genuinely sail.
Out of every perk across the entire Modern Warfare trilogy, Eavesdrop from the original Call of Duty 4 regularly tops 'worst perk' lists, beaten out only by things like Martyrdom and Last Stand for sheer player irritation.
In the wider story, the numbered Baroque Works agent titles don't retire when someone dies, they just get reassigned. After Zoro kills the original Mr. 7, the position and number are picked up by a new operative who later appears working alongside Miss Father's Day during the Arabasta arc.
The teleportation trinket you pick up from Icecrown Citadel, Jaina's Medallion, has a shape and colour scheme that lines up suspiciously well with the collar Scooby-Doo wears. Nobody at Blizzard has ever confirmed it outright, but once you notice the resemblance it's genuinely hard to unsee.
