Beauty Knows No Pain - S2-E5

Factual error: The opening shot of the episode with the Sphinx and the Pyramids is filled with numerous errors. Firstly, the Sphinx is missing its feet. Secondly, there is a stream in front of the Sphinx. There are no bodies of water in front of the Sphinx. There are temples there. Lastly, as the camera pans to the right, the Pyramids come into view, suggesting they are northeast of the Sphinx. One of the Pyramids is northwest of the Sphinx, and the other one is directly behind it. (00:00:01)

Iron Man, on the Inside - S2-E6

Other mistake: When Iron Man has successfully shrunken down, Julia confirms that he has been reduced to the size of a molecule. However, the line separating the slabs on the floor of the platform he was standing on, as well as the edge of the platform behind him are also still visible. If he was the size of a molecule, the floor around him would also account for a very small surface area, not even large enough to be the size of a drop of water. (00:08:36)

When Calls Galactus - S2-E8

Trivia: When Reed is exploring Frankie's memories of when she snuck into her stepfather's lab as a child, he discovers that her stepfather was working on an android Human Torch for the military. This is a reference to the original Human Torch from the comics, who alongside Namor and Captain America, was one of Marvel's very first characters. (00:04:20)

When Calls Galactus - S2-E8

Plot hole: When Frankie tries to get Johnny to chase her out into space, he tells her he can't follow and warns her to turn back due to the thin atmosphere not being able to keep their flame powers active, and indeed her flames die out, and she begins falling back to Earth. However, several minutes later in the episode, both of them are just outside of the Earth when Terrax arrives, and again at the end after she becomes the new herald of Galactus, Johnny follows her into space well beyond Earth before his flames die out.

Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7

Trivia: After the Fantastic Four have battled Black Panther, there is a panning shot in the village, and you see a young man in the foreground wearing a red headband. This is Mjnari, who is the godson of X-Men member Storm, and appeared in the X-Men episode "Whatever It Takes." Additionally, the woman standing next to Mjnari bears a strong resemblance to the younger version of Storm that was shown in the flashback of the aforementioned episode. On a related note, Storm and Black Panther have been married in the comics. (00:12:25)

Nightmare in Green - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Thing knocks Hulk into the construction vehicle, its crane and wrecking ball are relatively close to the ground. When the shot changes, the crane and wrecking ball are suddenly much higher in the air, allowing the wrecking ball to knock the Fantasticar out of the air. (00:15:24)

Nightmare in Green - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When we first see Bruce Banner, he remarks that the gamma patch he is wearing on his left pectoral didn't prevent him from turning into the Hulk. However, the patch was never there when he was Hulk just moments earlier. (00:01:46 - 00:06:27)

X-Men (1992)

Question: I was watching this movie last night, and I noticed there were a few people of color in Lake Town. The vast majority of people shown in The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings films are white, so are there any particular places in Middle Earth where people of color might be more prevalent, at least according Tolkien's writings?

Phaneron

Chosen answer: People with brown skin come from the land of Harad, to the south of Gondor and Mordor. Really black people probably exist south of it, but is unknown to the people of Middle-Earth. Any land east of Rhun is just as unknown, it's possible people of colour came from there and settled in Lake-Town.

Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: When the Wakandan children are crawling all over Thing, keep an eye on the one on the far left, and you will see his skin briefly changes to a darker color. Additionally, when Thing begins walking away, some of the villagers behind him are also shown to have their skin and clothing briefly changing color. (00:12:33)

Not Far from the Tree - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: When Tony first wakes up after being knocked out by Crimson Dynamo, you can tell by the angle of the light on the ceiling and Crimson Dynamo and the clone of his father leaning over him that he is lying down. When the shot changes, he is shackled in an upright position. A couple of shots later, he is lying down again. (00:18:09)
