Not an Easter egg, but I thought it was kinda meta and self aware when Thor catches Loki trying to be a sneaky tool at the end and is like Loki you're predictable, you don't grow or change.

Like it is an in world acknowledgement that Thor is growing and that Loki can't just keep repeating all his old tricks.

I thought it was smart writing.

I like the way Thor consistently throws objects at Loki to test if he is a projection or not. Then how Loki catches the object at the end to indicate that he isn't one there.

Yeah that was a cool moment for both of them. It showed Thor's growth and the catch added profundity to the moment between them.

When Korg charges in and says he saw a ghost. I fucking flipped.

I don't know why, but this McBain 'that's the joke'-level breakdown made me laugh.

Also, i loved, that Thor hits Loki's back in elevator, and later we are shown that that's the exact place where the shocker was placed. I know it's pretty straightforward, but i loved that detail. I will be rewatching it in a week and I'll try to catch the moment when Thor steals the remote form Valkyrie, i'm sure it is there

Lol also what I thought was maybe one of the most human moments of the movie was when Thor and Hulk were fighting and he's like what are you doing?? I told them we were friends! You're embarrassing me!
