So this is probably the least important thing I could be posting about, but.

I see so many clickbait articles about "200 Easter Eggs in Comic Book Movie X".

But then, most of them aren't Easter eggs. An Easter egg is something hidden, like how you hide Easter eggs. Somebody doing something that relies on what happens in a previous movie isn't an Easter egg, it's continuity. Somebody name-checking another comic (like Deadpool saying "I'm Batman) or whatever is a reference, not an Easter egg.

Easter eggs are little things tucked in the background that the movie doesn't call attention to. Not something that is explicitly called out or part of the plot.

Glad we cleared that up.
