"Reunion 4" is the final work of the infinite legendary stage of MCU, full of reviews and references from the entire MCU.
And unlike most Marvel movies, The Avengers 4 wasn't primarily inspired by comics.
The film is a valuable embodiment of the past 11 years, and by introducing the concept of time travel, Avengers 4 relives key moments in the past, leaving fans overjoyed.
But the plot of time travel only scratches the surface, and the Easter egg of Avengers 4 connects almost all of the other Marvel movies, as well as every major character key scene, including most of the secondary characters.
In addition, in the key lines of the plot dialogue, the story background is added to the scenes that have not appeared in the MCU before.
The end result is that if you haven't seen Marvel's previous movies, you'll have a hard time enjoying Avengers 4.
Although this does not diminish its achievements.
But it does mean that there are some details in Avengers 4 that are easy to miss, including the exact time, place, and connection point.
The main plot timeline in Avengers 4
Captain America, Iron Man, and Ant-Man return to 2012 to relive the Battle of New York in The Avengers.
Nebula and Gear of War return to 2014 to relive the opening scene of Guardians of the Galaxy, Dance of the Star Lords! Hawkeye and Black Widow also traveled to 2014.
Thor reappeared in 2013's Thor 2: Dark World and interacted with her mother, Friga, on the day she died.
Location revisited
Hawkeye and black widow travel to Waumer, where the Soul Stone is preserved.
In the five years since the release of Avengers: Infinity War, Nebula has learned more about Vermeer, which it now calls "the center of celestial existence."
This could be a tribute to the aliens known as the gods, who have appeared in the Guardians of the Galaxy series of movies and are likely to play a major role in the upcoming Filming of Eternity.
Hawkeye's home appears in Avengers: Age of Ultron, where his wife and children also appear.
That's where the U.S. team trained. That's why he knows where the entrance to the S.H.I.E.L.D. bunker is.
Iron Man's connection point in Avengers 4
In "Avengers 4", Tony's message to "Little Pepper" is a tribute to "Always You".
In Avengers 4, Where Tony and Nebula repair the spaceship, Tony wears the same shirt he wore in the cave in Iron Man 1.
"Miss Potts" is nostalgic to see Tony use the name "Little Pepper" again, a name he hasn't used since Iron Man 1.
Tony's long insults against Team America included multiple callbacks to Avengers: Age of Ultron.
In Avengers: Infinity War, Tony dreams that he and Pepper have a child, and they name him Morgan after Uncle Pepper. In Avengers 4 they have a little girl, but still name her Morgan.
Morgan is introduced wearing an Iron Man helmet and gloves, like the kid Tony rescued from the unmanned Iron Warrior cannon in Iron Man 2 (who was later recast as a young Spider-Man).
"I'm Iron Man!" Tony said to Thanos before snapping his fingers, and that phrase is where most fans begin!
Tony's death scene is the complete opposite of Spider-Man's death scene in Avengers: Infinity War.
Tony left Morgan with a holographic message reminiscent of his father's recording in Iron Man 2.
The original version of the reactor appeared on Tony Stark's funeral bouquet, which read: "Prove That Tony Stark has a heart."
Morgan Stark wants to eat cheeseburgers, her father Iron Man loves cheeseburgers, and in Iron Man 1, Tony wants to eat cheeseburgers first thing when he returns to the United States.
One more thing, guess what?

Captain America's link point in Avengers 4
Captain America's portrayal of Captain America as a sad emotional adviser in Avengers 4 is reminiscent of Falcon's work after retiring from Team America 2.
Rocky transformed into Captain America immediately after the Battle of New York. He would do the same thing in Thor 2: Dark World, but here, it actually becomes a plot point, not just a joke.
The future Captain America walks into an elevator packed with Hydra agents, and some aspects of the scene deliberately evoke memories of the elevator wars in Captain America 2.
A tribute to the lines in "American Team 1" and "American Team 3": "I can spend a whole day with you like this"

Thor's connection point in Avengers 4
When Thor cut off Thanos' head in "Reunion 4", he said that this time I aimed at the head, and the fact that I did not cut off the head in "Reunion 3" is an obsession that Thor cannot erase in his heart.
Thor builds the new Zhenxian Palace, the site of the Nordic cult that defended the Cosmic Cube in Team America 1. And it's also featured on the iron man 2 map.
In Asgard, Thor claimed his eye was wounded in the Battle of Helagen. Shiv also mentions this in Thor 2: Dark World.
