Other mistake: When Tony steps out of the mine shaft elevator, the animators have drawn the elevator to be following Tony as he begins walking. (00:04:13)
Revealing mistake: When Mandarin lifts up the fallen canopy, the arm that is underneath it is briefly transparent. (00:20:24)
Continuity mistake: When War Machine and Spider-Woman are standing underneath the hole Madam Masque created, in certain shots Spider-Woman is standing on War Machine's left, and in others, she is standing directly in front of him. (00:15:45)
Continuity mistake: When Tony is telling Madam Masque that her craving for power tore them apart, they are standing on the right side of her vanity. When she calls him a liar, they are suddenly standing on a blue rug, several feet away from the vanity. (00:14:18)
Continuity mistake: When Iron Man is dodging the collapsing statues, at one point, the floor has gone from being golden tiles to an earthly terrain. (00:12:35)
Factual error: The opening shot of the episode with the Sphinx and the Pyramids is filled with numerous errors. Firstly, the Sphinx is missing its feet. Secondly, there is a stream in front of the Sphinx. There are no bodies of water in front of the Sphinx. There are temples there. Lastly, as the camera pans to the right, the Pyramids come into view, suggesting they are northeast of the Sphinx. One of the Pyramids is northwest of the Sphinx, and the other one is directly behind it. (00:00:01)
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.
