17. "You Ever See This Really Old Movie, Aliens?"

When Spider-Man sneaks on-board the Black Order spaceship to help Iron Man rescue Doctor Strange, Iron Man asks him if he has a plan, and after a moment, Parker responds with, "You ever see this really old movie, Aliens?"

Cue Iron Man announcing himself to Ebony Maw, who tells Stark, "Your powers are inconsequential compared to mine", and Stark quips back, "Yeah, but the kid's seen more movies", before blowing a hole in the ship, which sucks Maw out into the cold vacuum of space.

In addition to being a fun nod to the James Cameron sci-fi action classic, it's of course also a tip of the hat to Parker's similar line about The Empire Strikes Back in Captain America: Civil War.

There's even another Alien franchise reference later in the sequence for added fun: when Mantis (Pom Klementieff) shows up, a terrified Parker begs, "Please don't put your eggs in me!"
