Silence My Companion, My Death Destination - S1-E4
Continuity mistake: When the general is putting his sunglasses on, they resemble safety goggles. When the shot changes, they look more like aviators. (00:01:50)

Other mistake: When MODOK and Mandarin are watching Iron Man fire the missiles at Mandarin's henchmen, they can both be seen floating up and down. MODOK floats up and down due to his use of a hover-chair. Mandarin, however, does not have this ability. (00:18:50)

Other mistake: When Iron Man is saying "sound energy, that's it," the mouth hole on his mask can be seen moving in sync with the dialogue. The mouth hole is not designed to move when he talks. Any other time he talks, it remains motionless. (00:16:42)

Factual error: The continents on the world map seen in Iron Man's lab are so crudely drawn that they shouldn't pass for an actual map a superhero team would legitimately use. South America looks more like Australia, and what appears to be Madagascar is too big in relation to Africa, and is also on the wrong side of the continent. (00:12:42)

Other mistake: When Iron Man is attacked by Dreadknight, he calls out to Julia saying "He hit a major cyber shot," to which she responds by saying "Who hit what? You're alone out there, Tony." Moments later when Rhodey walks up to Julia, he asks her what's wrong with Tony, and she replies by saying "He thinks Dreadknight attacked him in a terminal reality simulation." Tony never told Julia that it was Dreadknight that attacked him, so she couldn't have known that's who Tony was referring to. (00:04:02 - 00:04:37)
Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Some critics criticized the premise of so many one-off battles that were introduced and concluded within one or two episodes. Others felt the first-season plot lines were overly simplistic and never progressed or developed through the season. Also, the rivalry between Iron Man and the Mandarin also failed to capture viewer's attention.
