Iron Man to the Second Power: Part 2 - S1-E10
Character mistake: When the robot Iron Man lands on the building, the clock behind him has inconsistent spacing between its Roman numerals, which would result in inaccurate time readings. (00:09:14)
Iron Man to the Second Power: Part 2 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When Blacklash tries to whip Dreadknight, Dreadknight is shown diving out of the way. When the shot changes, he is suddenly standing still and upright. (00:05:14)
Iron Man to the Second Power: Part 2 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When War Machine is telling everyone that they're going to have to find Tony the old fashioned way, Hawkeye and Julia are standing behind him. A couple of shots later, Hawkeye is still behind him, but now Julia is standing on the opposite side of him. (00:03:56)
Iron Man to the Second Power: Part 2 - S1-E10
Revealing mistake: When Hawkeye is running towards his hover bike, he is shown running at it from a downward angle, as if he was walking on air, which is not something he has the ability to do. (00:04:07)
Iron Man to the Second Power: Part 2 - S1-E10
Revealing mistake: When Century is observing Iron Man through his Universal Identity Matrix, you can see the footage of Iron Man is just looped, as the same cloud keeps appearing out of thin air after Iron Man flies passed it. (00:03:35)
Iron Man to the Second Power: Part 2 - S1-E10
Continuity mistake: When Wanda is saying "The cards speak of disaster," the cards she is holding are plain white. When the shot changes, the cards are now red with a white border. (00:02:45)
Iron Man to the Second Power: Part 1 - S1-E9
Factual error: This episode depicts Al Gore as having a southern drawl to his voice. Gore in real life does not have a southern accent. He grew up in Washington, D.C. (00:15:13 - 00:15:50)
The Defection of Hawkeye - S1-E8
Revealing mistake: When Mandarin is saying "We'll scoop Iron Man's armor out of its vault," the right side of his mustache appears in front of his right thumbnail, and then behind it in the same shot. (00:17:58)
The Defection of Hawkeye - S1-E8
Other mistake: When Hypnotia is taking pictures of the hypnotized Clint standing next to Justin Hammer, there is camera flash and the sound of a picture being taken indicated for every picture. One of the pictures that Clint is later shown is of Justin Hammer putting a stack of cash in his hand. However, there was no corresponding camera flash or sound of a picture being taken for this particular photo. (00:14:21 - 00:15:56)
The Defection of Hawkeye - S1-E8
Character mistake: When the team is going out for their midnight run, a sign is shown that says "One way. Don't buck up. Severe tire damage." It should say "Don't back up." (00:13:16)
The Defection of Hawkeye - S1-E8
Other mistake: When Julia is running after Clint through Hammer Hills, she checks in with Tony and team through her watch. When the shot changes to the team watching Julia on the monitor, her hand is visible in the shot. If the video feed of Julia on their end is being transmitted by her watch, then her hand shouldn't be visible to them. (00:12:03)
The Defection of Hawkeye - S1-E8
Revealing mistake: When Clint angrily walks out on the team, the upper legs Rhodey and Julia are transparent, as the bottom frame of the security monitor behind them is visible through their aforementioned body parts. (00:09:23)
Enemy Within, Enemy Without - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: When Iron Man tells MODOK that his wife is waiting to see him, MODOK's nose and a section of his headband are briefly missing from his face. (00:19:49)
Enemy Within, Enemy Without - S1-E6
Revealing mistake: Shortly after MODOK has infiltrated Iron Man's lab, we see a shot of the entire complex from the outside, and it has water enclosed around some of its perimeter. None of the water is oscillating or rippling, despite being shown to be draining to a lower area in one enclosure, and surrounding silos in another enclosure. (00:08:13)
Enemy Within, Enemy Without - S1-E6
Continuity mistake: When Hawkeye is calling MODOK 100% rotten, he is standing next to Tony. When the shot changes, he is suddenly a few feet behind him. (00:06:56)
The Grim Reaper Wears a Teflon Coat - S1-E5
Other mistake: For the first few episodes of this show, Rhodey is voiced by James Avery. However, there are two scenes in this episode with Rhodey providing voiceover, and you can tell he is voiced by Jim Cummings. Presumably Avery wasn't available to record the dialogue for these parts, so they just went with Cummings instead. (00:10:36 - 00:18:06)
The Grim Reaper Wears a Teflon Coat - S1-E5
Other mistake: When Iron Man is suiting up on his private jet, the environment around him is a lab, which would be far too large to fit on a private jet. (00:17:55)
The Grim Reaper Wears a Teflon Coat - S1-E5
Other mistake: When the mob is throwing bottles at Stark Industries, the second bottle breaks in midair without actually hitting anything. (00:05:21)
The Grim Reaper Wears a Teflon Coat - S1-E5
Character mistake: When the mob is protesting Tony Stark, one of the signs is supposed to say "Fraud," but instead says "Eraud." (00:05:13)
The Grim Reaper Wears a Teflon Coat - S1-E5
Factual error: The U.S. flag hanging in the House Chambers has 21 stripes and 20 stars, 8 too many and 30 too few, respectively. (00:04:34)
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.
