Common mistakes

Factual error: Movies with trials in which the protagonist is on the verge of losing until a last minute whammy piece of evidence is brought up that ends up winning the trial in their favor (such as "Liar Liar"). In real life, lawyers have to add the evidence in before they are allowed to talk about it, and if the judge doesn't know where they are going with it, they will ask the lawyer to make a proffer.

And the Sea Shall Give Up Its Dead - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: When Iron Man and War Machine are battling Titanium Man, they each grab one of his legs and flip him on his back, with the two shown to be standing near his feet afterwards. The shot then changes to show Iron Man jumping towards Titanium Man, even though he was already standing right by him. When the shot changes again, Iron Man is at Titanium Man's feet, but War Machine is nowhere to be seen.

Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 5: The Price of Heroism - S5-E6

Other mistake: Two scenes in this episode are shown out of order. First we see Captain America and Spider-Man lying on the ground near the dimensional vortex at the mercy of Chameleon and the Red Skull, with Cap flicking a rock across the room to distract Chameleon so that he and Spider-Man can re-engage them in battle. Shortly after, we see Spidey and Cap arriving at the dimensional vortex to configure it to defeat Electro, with Chameleon and Red Skull attacking them once Spidey has finished with the vortex, revealing they had been lying in wait knowing full well someone would figure out that the vortex was the key to stopping Electro.

Six Forgotten Warriors Chapter 2: Unclaimed Legacy - S5-E3

Other mistake: When Silver Sable infiltrates Kingpin's Russian lair with sleeping gas, before falling unconscious, Kingpin correctly deduces that he has been betrayed. In the next scene, Kingpin asks Silver Sable how she was able to infiltrate his lair, and she tells him one of his men is a traitor, which elicits an incredulous reaction from Kingpin, completely contradicting the previous scene where Kingpin already surmised there was a traitor.
