Continuity mistake: When Dark Aegis flies up to attack Iron Man, there is a large dust cloud in front of Iron Man. A couple of shots later, the dust cloud has disappeared entirely. (00:16:17)
Continuity mistake: When Dark Aegis is trying to talk Iron Man into joining him, he holds out his Oracle weapon for Iron Man to take. When the shot changes, the weapon is instantly mounted to his arm, and he is pointing it at Iron Man. (00:15:48)
Factual error: When War Machine is about to collide with the star, he ends up mere inches away from its surface before being rescued by Iron Man. Yellow-white stars have a surface temperature of about 10,000° F, and the metal with the highest melting point is tungsten, which is 6,192° F. Iron Man specifically says he switching his armor to "inferno mode" in order to safely catch Rhodey, but Rhodey does no such switching for himself, nor is it even revealed if his armor has that capability, so he should have been incinerated. (00:09:55 - 00:10:30)

Continuity mistake: When Rhodey is watching Iron Man try to slow down the space ship, Iron Man is surrounded by partly cloudy blue sky. When the action switches to Iron Man's point of view, he is in outer space. (00:01:37)
Iron Man, on the Inside - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: When Iron Man is saying to Hawkeye "It's a shame, you need all you can get," Hawkeye's collar area is flesh-colored, when it should be purple from his costume. (00:18:35)
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.
