Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When She-Hulk is telling her parents that Bruce will help her, we see the Hulk sitting in the treehouse with his left leg sticking through the floor, and his left arm near the doorway. When the shot changes to inside the treehouse, his left leg is perched on the floor, and he is several feet away from the doorway. (00:08:49)

Character mistake: When the woman is looking at the high school photo of She-Hulk at the high school reunion, she says "Oh, look. Remember her? Jennifer something or other." You can see that her full name is written directly underneath the photo, so there's no reason why the woman would look at the photo and not know what Jennifer's last name is.

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When She-Hulk's parents come to console her, they are standing to her right, with her father standing to the mother's right. When the shot changes, they are both standing directly in front of her, and her father is on now on her mother's left. (00:08:35)

Factual error: She-Hulk's license plate reads "GAMMA-GRL." She's from Washington DC and now resides in New Mexico. Both places have a limit of seven characters on a license plate. It can't be a vanity plate either, because both places also require front and rear plates.

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Continuity mistake: When Gargoyle is looking at She-Hulk's car through a pair of binoculars, he is looking at it from a slightly perpendicular angle. When the shot changes, he is suddenly looking directly at her rear license plate, which would not only be impossible from the angle where he was standing, but even if he did move, the car parked directly behind hers would not allow him to see her license plate from a straight angle. (00:07:46)

Other mistake: When She-Hulk walks into her parents' house, they are shocked to discover her appearance. She-Hulk's identity as Jennifer Walters is public, as she is still a trial lawyer, and the previous episode showed that she has celebrity status. We know she and her parents aren't estranged, because moments before she tells the Hulk that they know about him, which she could only know if she kept in contact with them, so there's no conceivable way they could have been unaware of her transformation as well.

Other mistake: When She-Hulk is climbing the tree to speak to the Hulk inside the treehouse, you can see the doorway to the treehouse is barely large enough for her to fit through, so there's no way the Hulk could have fit through without damaging it. (00:06:06)

More trivia for The Incredible Hulk

Answer: The Hulk is a giant brute who smashes everything in his path when he is angry. In Ang Lee's "Hulk," General Ross, played by Sam Elliot, explains it to his daughter.

Answer: Because he feels the Hulk is a threat to all life on Earth, and particularly his daughter's close relationship with Bruce Banner puts her at risk when Hulk enters the equation.

Phaneron

Why does Ross think the hulk is a threat?

Because the Hulk is nearly mindless and goes on destructive rampages with high risk of collateral damage.

Phaneron

If that's the case, what's the problem with the way general Ross judges the hulk?

It's nuanced. Ross is correct to recognize the potential danger the Hulk presents, but he's also too stubborn to realise that he usually exacerbates the Hulk's rampages by trying to engage him in combat instead of trying to calm him down.
