The Marvel Cinematic Universe is one of the most successful movie franchises in history, but while the whole is equal to the sum of its parts, not every part is considered equal. Fans will never forget the spectacle of Avengers: Infinity War and Endgame, but movies like Doctor Strange and The Incredible Hulk don't get talked about quite as much. Fortunately, fans online have taken the time to point out why some of these more underrated MCU installments are worth taking another look at. In Ant-Man and the Wasp, for example, when Hank shows Scott around his new, portable lab, giant Duracell battery power stations can be seen out the window. Keep an eye on the background in Avengers: Age of Ultron and you can catch a glimpse of an intern snapping a secret photo with Tony Stark. If you want to study a ton of lore, check out Dr. Selvig's chalkboard in Thor: The Dark World. It's absolutely full of MCU mythology.
Check out this list of small details fans spotted in underrated MCU movies, and don't forget to vote up your favorites!
