AVENGERS: ENDGAME EASTER EGGS AND REFERENCES, a thread;
1. While Tony is adrift, the Benatar appears like a sparrow. This has multiple meanings; a) in English folklore, it represent impending death, or b) it symbolises one is almost home, as it did for sailors nearing land.

2. The sparrow imagery bears some fruit, as Captain Marvel arrives to bring Tony home. The directors have said Rocket tracked the ship’s homing beacon, and Carol was sent to retrieve him.
3. We find out both Erik Selvig and Sharon Carter died in the Snap, and the script reveals Thunderbolt Ross did too (as well as possibly Jane Foster and Wong).
4. Scott Lang’s Avengers ID photo is actually his mugshot from his time in prison!

7. The Avengers use a Jump Point near Earth to travel to The Garden, as seen in GOTG Vol. 2 and Captain Marvel.
8. Carol speaking in space isn’t necessarily an error, as its possible she creates an atmosphere around herself when she goes binary.

13. As Scott wanders San Fransisco, it’s apparent that these days, people have simply stopped caring. Grass is over-grown, nobody has taken down missing posters, and the police clearly arent interested with cars being jacked left and right.
14. Carol and Rhodey are clearly close, referencing their relationship in the books.
15. Rhodey tells Natasha only he suspects Barton is behind the cartel massacre, meaning his identity as Ronin is likely a secret from whatever government is left.

26. The Ancient One is revealed to have been present during the Battle of New York, also wearing the Eye of Agamotto.
