The Avengers (2012)

Corrected entry: The nuclear missile that is fired at Manhattan, the Air to Ground (AGM)-154 Joint Standoff Weapon (JSOW) does not actually have nuclear capability. The F-35 Lightning II, which fired the missile, however, can actually carry the JSOW and will eventually be able to carry the B61 nuclear bomb.

Correction: Given the large amount of entirely fictional technology depicted in the film, it's not unreasonable that SHIELD, the possessor of much of that technology, could have been able to retrofit the missile to carry a nuclear payload for those occasions where it might prove necessary.

The Avengers (2012)

Corrected entry: After the fight between Thor and Hulk, Thor gets blood from his nose, but the gods don't bleed.

Correction: Of course they do if you hit them hard enough. Odin has a visibly bloody eye socket during the war against the Frost Giants at the beginning of Thor, and the ice shard that impales Fandral during the ill-fated trip to Jotunheim in the same film is visibly smeared with blood.

The Avengers (2012)

Corrected entry: In Iron Man 2, Stark makes the new triangle thing that's saving his life and he has it throughout the Avengers, suit on or off. But in the last battle up from when he jumps out the window after his little chat with Loki to the end, he has the other one, the circle one that was slowly killing him.

Correction: The design of the aperture on his suit has no bearing on anything relating to his health. Stark's arc reactor is still circular, it's just the new central core that's triangular. The upgraded suit that Stark uses in the finale of Iron Man 2 has a triangular aperture as a nod to that, but it's purely an aesthetic choice on his part. As such, there's no reason why Stark can't revert to using a circular aperture on subsequent models.
