The Armor Wars: Part 1 - S2-E8
Factual error: When Blacklash and Blizzard have hijacked the airplane, all the passengers are wearing their oxygen masks, indicating that the plane is at a high altitude. When Iron Man crashes through the window of the cockpit to take out Blizzard, there is no corresponding depressurization. (00:12:59 - 00:13:29)
Origin of Iron Man: Part 1 - S1-E11
Character mistake: When young Tony Stark is telling his father that their helicopter's anti-flak chip didn't kick in, he acknowledges that it was his fault by saying he blew it. When his father corrects him and says "No Tony, we blew it. Stark and Son," Tony defensively says "The anti-flak chip failed, it's not my fault," completely contradicting what he said seconds earlier. (00:14:00)
Tony Stark: Crosscheck their profiles for any common factors.
H.O.M.E.R.: Yes, Mr. Tony.
Tony Stark: "Tony." It's just "Tony."
H.O.M.E.R.: Of course, Mr. Just Tony.
Question: Why was the first season of this cartoon received so negatively?
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.
