Dark Phoenix (1): Dazzled - S3-E11

Other mistake: The episode begins with an out-of-place one-second shot of a door opening on a space craft revealing a satellite hovering over Earth before quickly cutting to an establishing shot of Muir Island. Note: this may only apply to the version of the episode that appears on Disney+. (00:01:00)

I once saw part of what I think was a TV show (Little House on the Prairie, maybe?), and it featured a scene where a girl in school has drawn a picture of her teacher. The teacher sees the picture and, offended by it, asks who drew it. The boy sitting next to the girl stood up and claimed he did it, and as punishment, the teacher whipped him with a stick. Anyone know what this was from?

Trivia: SPOILER: Although it was the film's worst kept secret, whenever asked, Andrew Garfield would deny, sometimes vehemently, that he would be appearing in it.

Trivia: During one of his shows, J. Jonah Jameson advertises his own brand of health supplements. This is likely a reference to far-right discredited conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who likewise would advertise his own health supplements on his show.

Trivia: Peter disrupts Strange's spell 5 times, resulting in the same number of multiversal villains appearing in this universe. Strange initially erroneously states that Peter disrupted the spell 6 times. This is likely a reference to the supervillain team that Spider-Man frequently faces in the comics: the Sinister Six.

Trivia: SPOILER: Near the end of the film when the fabric of reality has been torn open and Spider-Man villains from other universes are preparing to enter, one of the silhouettes shown is of the Rhino in a more comic book accurate outfit than the mechsuit he donned in The Amazing Spider-Man 2. A silhouette of Scorpion is also visible just before Rhino.

Trivia: Electro is surprised to learn that Spider-Man isn't black because he is from Queens and helps other people. He then ponders that there may be a black Spider-Man in another universe, a reference to Miles Morales.

Trivia: The title of Flash Thompson's book is "Flashpoint." This is likely a reference to the DC Comics crossover event of the same name, which similarly deals with familiar characters from alternate universes.

Trivia: This was the first post-pandemic film to both earn more than $100 million at the domestic box office on its opening weekend and at least $1 billion globally. Even with an ongoing pandemic, it managed to have the second highest domestic opening of all time at $260 million. It was also only the third movie to earn at least $800 million at the domestic box office.

Trivia: SPOILER: Prior to the film's release, unconfirmed reports stated Charlie Cox would appear in the film as Matt Murdock, reprising his role from the Netflix series Daredevil. Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige practically spilled the beans days before the release, stating that if the day ever came that Marvel would use the Daredevil character in their films, Cox would be playing him. The episode of Hawkeye that premiered the day before this film's release all but confirmed this, as Vincent D'Onofrio was revealed to be reprising his role as Kingpin from the aforementioned Daredevil series.

The Dark Phoenix (4): The Fate of the Phoenix - S3-E14

Continuity mistake: When Earthquake knocks out Gambit and Storm, he and Hussar are offscreen to the viewer's left. When the shot changes, Hussar is standing directly behind where Gambit and Storm's heads are pointing. (00:10:54)

The Dark Phoenix (4): The Fate of the Phoenix - S3-E14

Revealing mistake: When Oracle attacks Jean, a beam of psychic energy emanates from Oracle's body. The beam then remains in place as Oracle moves towards Jean, likely indicating a composite shot. The beam is then back in place when the shot changes. (00:09:55)

Trivia: At one point in the film, Ned makes a promise to Peter that he will never turn into a supervillain and try to kill him. This is a reference to Ned Leeds in the comics being one of the men to take up the mantle of Hobgoblin.
