Avengers: Endgame

Continuity mistake: When Thanos is being questioned about where the stones are, Captain Marvel has her arm wrapped around his neck in a headlock and War Machine is holding onto his right arm. Just as Bruce goes to push Thanos over, both Captain Marvel and War Machine suddenly do not have their hands on him. There is no reason that they would have let go of him. Nor would there have been enough time for them to let go of him in between shots. (00:18:10)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When the camera is panning over the entire army on the Avengers' side for the first time, Captain America is standing in front of everyone, and his shield is intact and round again, while Thanos broke it earlier. The next time we see it, it's back to being broken.

Suggested correction: The top half of his shield was broken off. When he is standing in front of Thanos' army, you can only see the bottom, intact half.

No no, the mistake is about the wide shot where you only see Captain America really small. He has a full shield there (as he is just CGI).

Continuity mistake: When Thanos gets the Iron Gauntlet, he has armour on his right arm. When he fights Captain Marvel, the piece of armour disappears from one shot to another so his arms are free to put on the Gauntlet. (02:28:45)

Audio problem: When the Ancient One is explaining to Bruce that taking the Time Stone will affect their reality, there is a shot from behind the Ancient One where she says "Millions will suffer", but her mouth doesn't move when she says the line. (01:24:20)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When the Avengers return from the quantum tunnel with the stones, their order is Hulk, Tony, Steve, Clint. But seconds later this changes to Hulk, Steve, Clint then Tony. (01:55:18)

Continuity mistake: When the Avengers are discussing where Thanos might be, Steve tells Tony that he fought him. In the shot where Tony says "Who told you that", his right hand is holding onto the robe he is wearing. The camera changes angles and his right hand is now shown touching the table. It then cuts back to Tony, where his right hand is touching the robe again. (00:10:39)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Tony begins to walk back to his house carrying his daughter, he is holding the Iron Man helmet he made for Pepper, by the top of it. In the next shot, he is suddenly holding the side of the helmet. (00:33:55)

Casual Person

Other mistake: Scott arrives in the park and sees hundreds of memorials listing people who were killed by Thanos. In the first close-up shot shown of one of the memorials, the name Norbert Lamey can be seen five rows from the top on the right hand side. The camera then pans to Scott walking in front of the memorial to the right of it. The name Norbert Lamey can be seen repeated on the opposite side of the memorial Scott stands in front of. (00:24:25)

Continuity mistake: When Nat reunites with Barton in Tokyo to tell him about the plan, whilst he says "Don't give me hope", there are a few wet strands of hair shown going over his fringe. It then cuts to Nat, then back to Barton. In the second shot of Barton, the hair across his fringe is suddenly a lot more messier. (00:57:15)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When the Ancient One is showing Bruce the flow of time, a projection of the Infinity Stones are shown rotating around the flow of time she projects. Just as Bruce says "Because once we're done with the stones...", the projection of the Space Stone is shown rotating away from Bruce and more towards the Ancient One. The camera changes angles, and the Space Stone is now closer to Bruce, and is shown rotating past the same area it did in the previous shot. (01:24:30)

Continuity mistake: In the Hulk scene at the diner, once Scott takes the picture of the kids, in the frontal shots he is holding the phone with his right hand and hands it to them, while the reverse shots don't match - egregiously noticeable when he says "I don't want a picture with them" waving an empty right hand. (00:38:05)

Sammo

Continuity mistake: When Tony takes off the Nano Arc Reactor and places it on Steve's hand, he drops to the ground. Captain Marvel is shown in the back of shot, raising her hands slightly as if she is preparing to catch him. It then cuts to a wide shot where her hands are suddenly at ease. (00:12:15)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Tony gets to the Avengers facility and talks with Steve, the sun on the floor changes between shots. (00:45:50)

Continuity mistake: When Scott's taco gets blown out of his hand by the ship, there is a cup on the bench beside him. A few seconds later when Rhodes arrives, the cup has disappeared. Bruce then approaches the bench and the cup has reappeared on the floor beneath it. (00:48:15)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: When Scott is explaining the Quantum Realm to Steve and Nat, he begins eating a sandwich that he is holding in his right hand. It then cuts to a different angle where the sandwich is in his left hand. (00:32:00)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: Iron Man, Cap, Ant-Man and Hulk are shown leaping into 2012 just as the original six Avengers formed their circle. Cap then immediately begins reminding the team of their assignments. The dialogue is continuous so there is no time compression involved. Within 10 seconds of their arrival, they watch 2012 Hulk jump into a nearby street and begins smashing Chitauri and jumping on a car. However, in the original film, after the Avengers form the circle, the events that follow include Loki ordering more troops, then Cap giving orders to the rest of the team to hold them off, ending with the order for Hulk to "smash." Hulk then jumps up and starts fighting Chitauri along the sides of buildings before being knocked down into the street, where he could have presumably landed where the 2023 team sees him (the original film cuts to Thor at this point). These events in the original film take at least a minute to unfold in real time. (01:07:35)

Continuity mistake: When Steve and 2012 Steve fall down to a lower level of the building during their fight, they break a couple of glass barriers and floors, causing loads of shattered glass to surround them when they land. The compass with Peggy's picture is shown on the ground with glass surrounding it. The amount of glass shown around the compass changes between shots. (01:22:50)

Casual Person

Continuity mistake: While the Avengers are standing on the time machine just before the time heist, Barton promises Rocket he will bring back the ship in one piece. Rocket then says "as promises go, that was pretty lame", and has his arms folded when he says this. It then cuts to a shot of the group, and Rocket's arms are suddenly by his side. (01:06:35)

Casual Person

Steve Rogers: Don't do anything stupid until I come back.
Bucky Barnes: How can I? You're taking all the stupid with you.

Question: If Captain America had to go back to return the infinity stones to balance the timeline, would he not have to go back to before Black Widow died to return the Soul Stone?

Answer: Well since he wouldn't know the exact moment she sacrificed herself, he might have shown up before then and then just had to wait for everything to play itself out before returning the stone.

Phaneron

Answer: No before Black Widow died the soul stone was still there, he had to get it back after it was taken, so after Black Widow died.

I think the poster meant he would go back to the time he knew Black Widow and Hawkeye were aiming for, or a bit before for safety, then go there and wait until Black Widow died and Hawkeye got the stone, and then return it. It would be hard for him to watch, but then he would know when the right time was.

Right. But you also have to think that, having witnessed the events, and then seeing that the Red Skull is the guardian, that would have been a damn interesting scene to watch. Does Cap try bargaining with the Red Skull to return Black Widow to life after giving the stone back? On the other hand, the Ancient One's explanation was that the flow of time occurs simply because the stones are in the universe. I don't think it mattered where they are. She only wanted the time stone back because of how it was tied to the Sanctum. So really, Cap probably could have just thrown the stone in a ditch somewhere and been done with it. It also raises a question about the nature of Vormir as the home of the stone. We see the other stones were more or less fashioned into artifacts and out and about. This implies that they too were in some sort of temple in their raw stone form before being found, seized and manipulated into a real-world application. So does Vormir even have a mechanism for receiving the stone back once it's been claimed? And what is the soul stone's solo power, anyway? Reading people's fates like a crystal ball?

Vader47000

I don't think the red skull is really the red skull anymore, just some kind of ghost of whats left of him. However the stone gets returned is irrelevant, yes he could even just leave it in a ditch somewhere. He didn't return other stones in their original form either, except the time stone. These timelines don't continue on as the original one. According to the comics the soul stone is sentient and everyone sacrificed to obtain is has their soul trapped inside the gem. Cap and the others of course don't know that (although Hulk must theoretically know having used it) or in the MCU this does not apply. When possessing it you can control any life and read their souls (their feelings and desires). One can also revert living things back their original state (like Nebula for example).
