10 Subtle Comic Book Movie Details You Definitely Didn't Notice

7. The Memorial - Avengers: Age Of Ultron

Watching Avengers: Age Of Ultron back, it's still pretty remarkable how quickly New York was rebuilt after the devastating invasion of the Chitauri. The Avengers' first big gig has cut a brutal wound through the city and left a substantial mess that would come back to haunt them, but the sequel seemed to show it back in fairly rude health.

Part of the credit for that has to go to the first responders, who seemingly put all of their expertise to good use cleaning up giant woodlouse monsters and stopping the fires Hulk probably started.

And while it's only on screen very briefly, they get a tribute in Age Of Ultron as the clock on top of Grand Central Station has been replaced with a new memorial to their efforts.
