What's There
In the post-credits scene, Coulson reports from a New Mexico crater where Thor's hammer has landed. The specific visual detail remains visible in the frame during ordinary playback when paused at this scene milestone.
Why It Matters
The shot directly sets up Thor, showing Marvel using credits scenes as connective tissue between solo films before the first Avengers team-up.
