In Avengers Endgame, when 2012 Thor responds to Alexander Pierce about The Luncheon and Asgard, there's a layered pun: 'Asgard' sounds like 'as guard,' but the real joke is that Asgard itself is 'the lunch'—a callback to the Avengers post-credits scene where Loki is offered as a meal to the Other. This kind of referential humor rewards long-time fans and threads together the saga's loose ends.
