OMG! Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse Easter eggs you missed...

t's rare to see a movie that's as unabashed of a comic book celebration as Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The Sony Pictures Animation release, which loosely adapts the Marvel Comics "Spider-Verse" storyline from 2014, has debuted to almost universal critical acclaim, offering wit and kinetic web-slinging action for general audiences and comics enthusiasts alike.

For fans of the Spider-Man sector of Marvel Comics, Into the Spider-Verse is a gorgeous smorgasbord of references and inside jokes, making for a remarkably fun viewing experience as the movie serves up little bits of Spider-trivia to stoke the viewer's memory. (It also has what is perhaps the most bittersweet and heartwarming Stan Lee cameo we're ever going to see — but we're sure you caught that one.)

If you're even slightly a fan of Spider-Man, you're in for a treat with this movie, because there's enough hidden away inside of Spider-Verse to keep surprising viewers on their second, third, or even fourth run-throughs. Here are just a few of the Easter eggs you might have missed in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.

Revisiting history
 

While Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is ultimately an origin story for Miles Morales, it shares its spotlight with a number of other Spider-People in the process. The first hero audiences are introduced to is the Peter Parker of Miles' universe, a paragon of goodness, decency, and hyper-capable heroism. The movie starts off with this Peter's narration, catching viewers up on the broad strokes of the Spider-Man story.

Now would be a good time to mention one great thing about living in this golden age of comic book movies — finally, the people behind these movies realize that we all already know Spider-Man's origin story. All of us. Every single person. For that reason, Spider-Verse spends less time belaboring the point and more time building in some cheeky references to past Spider-Man adventures — specifically, the Sam Raimi-directed trilogy of Spider-Man movies.

During Peter's recounting of his exploits as a superhero, the movie revisits several classic set pieces from the Raimi movies, including Spider-Man's heroic train rescue from Spider-Man 2, the time Doctor Octopus threw a car through a window at Peter Parker and Mary Jane in Spider-Man 2, and the much-derided (but secretly awesome) sequence of a symbiote-influenced Peter strutting around New York City in Spider-Man 3 shooting everyone some finger guns.

85-year-old herbalist arrested with fresh human heart in Lagos (Photo)...lets be careful this season

Samuel Hunsu, an 85-year-old herbalist has been arrested by the Zone 2 Police Command, Onikan, Lagos State, in possession of fresh human heart.

The suspect was said to have been arrested in Abeokuta, Ogun State and the police alleged that the old man specialized in using human parts for money making rituals. Hunsu, however, claimed that the hearts were given to him by one Abiodun, who had earlier consulted him for money ritual.

His words: “Initially, I was consulted by Abiodun. He wanted me to prepare money charms making for him. When I told him what was required for the ritual, he promised to get them. I was surprised when I saw him with fresh human heart. When Abiodun eventually brought the heart, I asked him where he got it. He said that he removed it from a thief that was killed at Ijoko area of Ogun State.

Life Under The Bridge In Lagos Exposed By BBC Documentary!



BBC spent a day with three men who came to Lagos to hustle and look for a better life, but found themselves sleeping under a flyover in Lagos.



A recent episode of BBC’s “Homeless in Lagos” profiled 23-year-old Christian, Manchester United fan, Godwin. He claims he sleeps under the bridge because housing in Lagos is expensive; the average apartment costs between NGN150K and NGN200K — he only has NGN50, 000 after working hard.


Godwin told BBC:

“When I was in my final year, I used to hear; there’s money in Lagos, there’s work in Lagos. My aim was to come and work, I did not even plan to live under a bridge.” 


Despite his education, Godwin is now an agbero in Lagos, he helps drivers load their buses for NGN50-NGN100. At the time BBC caught up to him, he had been doing that for four months.


BBC also interviewed another man suffering the effects of Boko Haram’s terrorism. He says:
