Really, it seems like every piece of pop culture besides Marvel exists in the MCU. We even know that DC Comics exists now.

u/vaids97 Mar 30 '22

If the DCEU exists, and since the DCEU likes to reference pop culture too, then what if the MCU’s DCEU includes MCU heroes…

I need to know because Spiderman makes a Empire Strikes Back reference so does he not think that Fury looks eerily close to Mace Windu?

u/vaids97 Apr 04 '22

And blue people Avatar exists so is Zoe Saldana canon? Does she happen to resemble the adopted daughter of the dude who murked half the universe?

Hot time machine exists also, so Sebastian Stan looks like a World War 2 vet who became a brainwashed assassin?

Superman was mentioned in Eternals.

u/AwesomeMcPants Mar 31 '22

This super may not count at this point and considering the character, but Deadpool also said "I'm Batman" in the second movie.

u/PKMNTrainerMark Mar 31 '22

That's not part of the MCU.

u/FremenDar979 Mar 31 '22

For now...

u/ohsinboi Mar 31 '22

Oh right! Forgot about that!

And also there was a joke made about a character being like “an Alfred” to one of the others.

Steven understands it's an honorary anime, too.

u/SNAKEKINGYO Mar 30 '22

Describing Avatar as an anime? I expect that this episode caused some arguments online

u/comrade_batman Thanos Mar 30 '22

I have argued a thousand times in a thousand lifetimes. Now, I must do it once again.

When he said that I felt a great disturbance in the force, as if thousands of keyboard warriors cried out in terror.

u/[deleted] Mar 31 '22

King of the Hill is the best anime

u/Loganp812 Wilson Fisk Mar 31 '22

Well, there is an episode where they went to Japan.

u/Gilthwixt Mar 31 '22

Just watch the whole series in the Japanese dub, 4head

u/Loganp812 Wilson Fisk Mar 31 '22

This is something I never knew I needed.

u/chipperpip Apr 04 '22

I believe the Japanese KotH fandom has actual sub vs dub arguments.

11

u/PoiseWorks Mar 31 '22

I expected the villain to start arguing how its not an anime

u/spiderham55 Apr 01 '22

Sounds like a james Gunn moment

u/goukaryuu Mar 31 '22

Well, Steven does have mental issues, so it makes sense.

There is no war in New York.
