The Variant - S1-E2
Trivia: Mobius says to Loki in 2050 "why is it always the people you can't trust telling you to trust them?" He himself said to Ravonna Renslayer earlier "I can handle him, trust me." Which might simply allude to him not being as confident as he sounds, or might imply Mobius isn't as trustworthy as we're being led to believe. Will leave this up if it ends up being foreshadowing, or delete it if it's entirely irrelevant.

Trivia: The scientist Sarah has the video call with is a real theoretical physicist called Clifford Johnson, who's served as a consultant for films and TV shows including Agent Carter, Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame.
24th Mar 2021
Trivia: After a family tragedy, coupled with studio executives' dissatisfaction with the production, Zack Snyder left the film and was replaced by Joss Whedon, who rewrote and re-shot large portions of the movie. After several years of fans demanding an "original" cut, HBO Max funded Zack Snyder's Justice League, restoring the director's original vision for the film, which garnered mostly positive reviews, being largely viewed as an improvement on Whedon's version.

The Gang Gets Held Hostage - S3-E4
Trivia: When Frank pulls out the gun on the roof, he says "Yippee-ki-yay Mr. Falcon", a nod to Die Hard 2, the TV version of which infamously had the word "motherfucker" badly dubbed over with "Mr. Falcon."

All-New Halloween Spooktacular! - S1-E6
Trivia: When Pietro says he'll help the twins maximise their candy acquisition, one twin says "Kick-ass!" and Wanda repeats to herself "kick-ass." Both Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who played Pietro in Avengers: Age of Ultron, and Evan Peters, who plays "Pietro" in WandaVision and the recent X-Men films, both starred in Kick-Ass.

All-New Halloween Spooktacular! - S1-E6
Trivia: Pietro makes various hellish references which tie into fan theories that what's going on in Wandavision is the work of a demon, quite possibly Mephisto: "Unleash hell, demon-spawn" and "damn it, if Westview New Jersey isn't charming as hell."
28th Dec 2020
Trivia: Panning around Diana's apartment, the camera briefly lingers on a photo of her with an elderly lady, with no elaboration of its significance. But look closely and you'll realise the woman in the photo is Etta from the first movie, again played by Lucy Davis, just made up to look 67 years older.
30th Nov 2020
Trivia: The number Emily gives Will is 212-664-7665. Unlike the usual fake "555" number often used in movies, this is a real number that's also used in Scott Pilgrim vs. The World and The Adjustment Bureau. Universal Studios acquired it precisely to save having to use a fake number in their films.
28th Nov 2020
Trivia: Neil Patrick Harris' cry of "challenge accepted" when challenged to the duel is a nod to his character from How I Met Your Mother, who often said that.
27th Nov 2020
Trivia: When Dwayne Johnson pulls over Neal McDonough's Porsche, the woman in the passenger seat with no lines is Cobie Smulders in her first film role.
17th Nov 2020
Trivia: All the place names on the map are period-accurate (Lunden, etc.) with the exception of Guildford, in Wessex (now Surrey), which at the time was called Guldeford. Most likely deliberate - pioneering games company Bullfrog (Populous, Syndicate, Theme Park, Theme Hospital, Dungeon Keeper), was founded there in 1987, and a thriving games industry has sprung up in the area since. Ubisoft (maker of the Assassin's Creed games) has their UK HQ there, likewise Electronic Arts, and it's also the home of Criterion Games (makers of Burnout / Need for Speed), Hello Games (No Man's Sky), and Media Molecule (Little Big Planet).

Chapter 11: The Heiress - S2-E3
Trivia: This episode is directed by Bryce Dallas Howard. Mando's rapid descent onto the planet is a near shot-for-shot recreation of the capsule's return to Earth in Apollo 13, directed by her father, Ron Howard.
13th Oct 2020
Et in Arcadia Ego: Part 2 - S1-E10
Trivia: The ships that Riker arrives with are all identical, explained away with the line "I've got a fleet of them at my back." That line's delivered without seeing Riker's face, because it was recorded afterwards. The effects work was only completed shortly before the episode was released, and they didn't have time to create a variety of ships, leading to this "shortcut."

What I Know - S2-E8
Trivia: The scene at the end of Homelander masturbating was originally intended for season one, but Amazon balked at including it at the time. Showrunner Eric Kripke said "There was one scene that Amazon said fuck no, you have to cut. I couldn't quite understand why considering everything else we have in the show, but: Homelander, after being dressed down by Stilwell in episode 2, was standing on one of the Chrysler building Eagles. He pulled his pants down and started jerking off, mumbling 'I can do whatever I want' over and over again until he climaxed all over New York City. We shot it! Oh my God, Anthony was the best in that scene. Amazon seemed to think it wasn't necessary. I thought it told me something about his psyche. To be clear, they've been great, that may have been the only fight I lost in Season 1."

Butcher, Baker, Candlestick Maker - S2-E7
Trivia: Black Noir is revealed to have a nut allergy. The actor who plays him, Nathan Mitchell, has a nut allergy, and the writers took inspiration for that for the character twist.
5th Sep 2020
The Big Ride - S2-E1
Trivia: Hughie makes reference to a worst-case scenario of the super terrorist taking out the Brooklyn Bridge. In the comics The Seven horrendously mishandled the 9/11 attacks, resulting in the destruction of the Brooklyn Bridge.
25th Jul 2020
Trivia: The line "he'll stop doing it" "stop doing what?" followed by violence was used almost identically in Iron Man 3, also written and directed by Shane Black.
20th Jul 2020
Trivia: The dress Sandra Bullock wears to the Taco Bell was very heavy due to all the stones on it - after her exuberance mimicking Stallone's punching after the scrap attack it started to rip, which is why she has her arms wrapped around herself slightly awkwardly at the very end of the scene.
9th Jul 2020
Trivia: The Porgs on Luke's island only exist because the real island is the habitat of puffins, and filming couldn't interfere with them. It proved more appealing and frankly simpler to digitally alter the appearance of the puffins, rather than erasing them entirely.
