Darkness and Light: Part 3 - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Doc Samson tackles the new Rick Jones-Hulk hybrid and knocks over the cylinder for the nutrient bath, Banner spills out, and you can see he is wearing shoes. A few moments later when Banner begins to run outside, he is suddenly barefoot. (00:19:44 - 00:20:10)

Darkness and Light: Part 3 - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Ross is getting ready to sabotage the experiment, the equipment on the wall next to the fire extinguisher changes appearance. A white label also appears on the front of the extinguisher. (00:19:07)

Darkness and Light: Part 3 - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Ross is threatening Banner with a gun, there is a shot that shows Banner frozen in place and the camera zooms out to show that the shot was reflected from the pupil of Ross' eye. Since it was a reflection, the flower on Banner's robe should have been on the viewer's left since the actual Banner has the flower on the viewer's right. (00:13:32)

Darkness and Light: Part 3 - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Banner re-engages Hulk in the desert after Hulk disposes of Talbot, the face guard for the exoskeleton armor Banner is using is missing, but then reappears when Banner launches the armor's right foot at the Hulk's backside. (00:07:38)

Mistakes

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Plot hole: When Hulk and Banner have been physically separated by the nutrient bath, they are both wearing tattered pants. Given that Hulk and Banner were previously occupying the same body, this should not be possible. Hulk was the one that went into the nutrient bath, so if Banner's body was separated from Hulk, then Banner should be naked.

Suggested correction: It was done deliberately as a form of censorship. They didn't want to show Bruce's genitals.

Explaining why the mistake occurred doesn't invalidate it. Unless you're suggesting the nutrient bath also was able to duplicate the pants.

I am not. I am just explaining the reason behind this error.

Do you have a source for this explanation? If not, I would call it conjecture and while it doesn't invalidate the mistake, it does change it to a deliberate mistake if true.

You realise a character can be drawn naked without actually showing their genitals (and/or breasts in the case of women), right? The Little Mermaid is a good example of this.

Questions

Show generally

Question: Why was this show cancelled so quickly?

Answer: I believe it was mentioned in an issue of Wizard Magazine that the show was cancelled because of low ratings, and reportedly the show's creative shift in the second season had a part to play in the low ratings, as the changes alienated fans.
