Factual error: The mall robbery happens on July 1st, as shown on the newspaper clipping Diana finds, which is coherent with the events depicted in the movie (they rob the mall on the 1st, the day after the stone is at the Smithsonian and Diana and Barbara bond over dinner, then on the 3rd Maxwell arrives, grabs the stone at the evening party, and he is already super powerful the afternoon he takes off for Cairo). Problem is, July the 1st was a Sunday, and not just the mall, but pretty much any other store downtown is open, and similarly since it's the 4th, financial operations wouldn't be happening (although in this case you could always argue that we deal with wishes - but it's an extra layer of implausibility).

Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
21 factual errors
Directed by: Patty Jenkins
Starring: Chris Pine, Robin Wright, Gal Gadot, Pedro Pascal
Other mistake: Fireworks use heated metals to produce the various colors seen when they explode - Iron, Nickel, Cryolite, magnesium and copper filings. Flying a jet engine through exploding fireworks would cause serious damage to the engine.
Diana Prince: Nothing good is born from lies. And greatness is not what you think.
Trivia: At one point during the movie Wonder Woman uses her lasso to move around by riding the lightning. This is a reference to the Metallica album "Ride the lightning" which came out in 1984. (02:04:00)
Question: Why is Asteria living among regular people? She couldn't return home?
Answer: This was not explained in WW84, so any answer would be speculation. It is rumored that Lynda Carter, who played Asteria, may appear in Wonder Woman 3, which will hopefully explain her backstory. She is probably similar to Diana, who also chose to live among regular humans, secretly using her powers for good.

Suggested correction: Diana had conjured an invisibility shield around the jet that would likely protect it from the fireworks.

Agreed, the spell does obviously do more than just make the plane invisible. When looking at the invisibility of Themyscira, the spell obviously filters out the atmosphere and only can't keep out solid objects like planes and ships.

If the cloak of invisibility "filters out the atmosphere", how is the air needed to run the engines getting in?
It filters the atmosphere, not keep it away. So it keeps the atmosphere that comes in clean.
