Trivia: After the bugs attack the ship's crew, there is a triceratops drinking water from the river, a reference to the 1933 version where Kong fought with that dinosaur.

Armageddon (1998)
Corrected entry: At the end of the movie when they are heading back to earth the astronauts are wearing space suits and the pilots are wearing flying clothes but when they touch down the astronauts are wearing orange uniforms and the pilots blue.
Correction: There was plenty of time between leaving the asteroid and landing one Earth for everyone to put on their flight suits (the orange and blue uniforms).
Correction: They don't need to change the suits, and also they make the return flight in a few minutes.

X-Men 2 (2003)
Stupidity: The prison where Magneto is held should have had a contingency plan just in case of escape, like machine guns outside the cell, or tranquilizer darts, or gas.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: What good would machine guns and tranquilizer darts be against a man who can literally control and manipulate metal? As for gas, the area outside the cell is so large that any gas would quickly dissipate before it could be effective.

Deep Blue Sea (1999)
Corrected entry: Carter doesn't have any tracker device or any other to find the lost shark in the open sea, so it would be impossible to find him.
Correction: There was no need to look for the shark because the shark was looking for them, as its intelligence was vastly increased.
Correction: The shark was not looking for Carter - it's established that the sharks are very intelligent but they are still animals.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Corrected entry: While Howard Stark is leaving the military base, in the background there is a white guy with black hair who resembles Loki.
Correction: And? Just because someone resembles Loki doesn't mean that it is or was ever intended to be a reference to Loki.
Correction: Think about it, probably Loki traveled in time exactly at the same point Tony retrieves the Teserract but we don't know yet, maybe will be explained in Loki's T.V. series and also it's very unlikely that a single guy with long hair and hippie look is on a military base in the 70's.

Shazam! (2019)
Corrected entry: At the carnival Shazam says the magic word to become Billy among several kids and people. The lighting hits him but the people around are not affected by the blast like the monsters were.
Correction: The lightning only affected the monster because it was directly on top of him. The bystanders weren't.

Shazam! (2019)
Corrected entry: Zachary Levi is one of the few actors to span Marvel and DC movies - he played Fandral, one of the warriors three, in Thor: The Dark World and Thor: Ragnarok.
Correction: While the number certainly isn't massive, I wouldn't say it just a few. There's over 50 actors that have spanned DC and Marvel.
Correction: Anyway, the point is that he has been in both companies.
Generally an actor's resume isn't trivia unless it somehow relates to the movie or character itself. Given that so many actors have done Marvel and DC, there's unique about it and there's nothing to connect the two characters.

Avengers: Endgame (2019)
Corrected entry: After Scott gets back from the quantum realm he leaves the warehouse without the van, but when he gets to the Avengers facility he has it.
Correction: After finding Cassie, he went back and got it since he needed to get to SHIELD HQ.
Correction: But Scott did not have money in order to get back the van.
How do you know? Being presumed dead, his money would probably have gone to Cassie, and he could have gotten from her what he needed. And that is assuming it would even take money. We don't know what the rules would have been given the situation, and it was his stuff. The storage locker may have been Cassie's in which case of course she could take stuff out, or authorized Scott to.

The Avengers (2012)
Stupidity: At the beginning after Loki steals the tesseract he could easily uses his magic to make a portal in order to disappear from there.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: Loki has never been shown to have the ability to form portals.
Never? He used the Tesseract in Endgame to disappear.
The original entry is saying that Loki could have used his own magic to create a portal. He has never been shown to have that power. If he did, he would have been able to escape the portal Doctor Strange trapped him in in Thor: Ragnarok.
Suggested correction: Loki is a trickster and only has the ability of creating illusions making anyone see what he wants them to see.
Suggested correction: Loki does not possess the ability to create portals with his magic. He could potentially use the Tesseract to do so, but it's possible he believes it needs to be connected to a machine or in some other kind of housing to be safely utilized, since that is how the portal opened that allowed him to come to Earth, and then later allowed him to open the portal above Stark Tower to allow the Chitauri to invade.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019)
Corrected entry: The scars on Kylo's face have almost disappeared in this film without explanation.
Correction: His scar fades on screen when Rey heals him on the Death Star. As she heals the wound in his stomach, she also heals the wound she gave him the year before in The Force Awakens. It's an intentional detail.

Justice League (2017)
Corrected entry: If Steppenwolf could track two of the mother boxes without any trouble, why does he need to ask where the other one is?
Correction: Because he knows where Atlantis and Themyscira are, and these places are very small in comparison with the rest of Earth.
He couldn't know that the boxes were in Themyscira and in Atlantis.
He knows that the Amazons and Atlanteans united with the tribes of man to defeat him, so he correctly deduces that each group will have one of the boxes.
But the last box was not hidden, Dr. Silas has it then Cyborg, and Steppenwolf could not know that the Atlantians and Amazons had the other boxes.

Justice League (2017)
Plot hole: If the the parademons can smell the fear and react, they would do so when Flash is having a panic attack.
Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.
Suggested correction: The parademons are in a separate room with several hostages who are far more afraid than The Flash is, so their attention is focused elsewhere.
Flash and the others are in the very next room without any door or wall beside the parademons, not too far, and there are 10 or 12 around the space. Anyone can smell Barry's fear or at least hear them, and the hostages show less fear than Barry - he is almost paralyzed.

Suggested correction: Kong does not fight a triceratops in the 1933 film. The rescue party does.
It was an erased scene but that fight was taken.
