Continuity mistake: During the final battle, they stop the tank in its tracks and several approach it. Captain Miller runs up with them. He is about to start shooting into the view finder but doesn't. The scene cuts and the tank shoots at the area where Ryan and Reiben are. Cut back to the tank and Captain Miller is still standing next to the tank, and he shoots in the view window, repeating the action from the previous shot.

Loki (2021)
Trivia: Subtle detail, the cans of soda at TVA always have the label facing the camera. What are they? Josta, an energy drink that actually existed in the 90s but is now defunct. It was made by Pepsi. Why is it in the show? Showrunner Michael Waldron says Mobius has it because he "can go anywhere," and likely ran into a timeline where it existed. Waldron, however didn't say for sure there was a foolproof reason Mobius drinks it, but he's pleased fans noticed it.
