The Wedding of Iron Man - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Mandarin attacks Tony Stark and lifts him in the air, Hypnotia has suddenly appeared next to Julia when the shot changes. Given that she wasn't visible in any previous shots, even if Hypnotia was standing near Julia, not enough time had passed once Tony was lifted for her to appear in that spot. (00:17:56)
The Wedding of Iron Man - S1-E13
Plot hole: When Mandarin is concluding that Tony Stark and Iron Man are one and the same, he is watching video footage of when he had Tony Stark captive, and Tony first constructed the Iron Man armor and used a dummy that looked like himself in order to fool Mandarin into thinking that Iron Man was rescuing Tony Stark from captivity. If Mandarin had video footage of Tony Stark in that room where he organized his own rescue, then he also would have had footage of Tony Stark constructing the dummy of himself in the first place, and thus would have known Stark was Iron Man from the get go.

Continuity mistake: When Tony and Julia are driving away after their wedding, Tony notices in the rear view mirror that they are being followed. When Julia is saying "After all, a girl doesn't get married to her dream man every day," you can see the driver's seat next to her is unoccupied, even though Tony should be seated in it. (00:15:02)

Continuity mistake: When the reverend is about to pronounce Tony and Julia husband and wife, Clint, Century, and a woman in blue seated between them are facing forward. When the shot changes, Clint is suddenly looking over at Century, and the woman in blue is looking at Clint. (00:13:35)
The Wedding of Iron Man - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Clint is talking about the armory monitor, Century and Julia are standing to his right. A couple of shots later, Julia tells the computer to stop and feature screen three.

The Wedding of Iron Man - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Tony and Julia are thrown from the car, they are shown landing on rocky terrain. When the shot changes, they are now shown to have landed in a grassy area, with Tony Stark lying face down with his head near a rock. When the shot changes again, Tony's head is now facing his right shoulder, and there is no longer a rock near his head. (00:17:00)

The Wedding of Iron Man - S1-E13
Deliberate mistake: When Tony Stark is looking through security footage in the flashback, the footage is all clips from previous episodes for which he couldn't possibly have surveillance footage of, including but not limited to shots of him and/or his teammates in a snowy mountain range, inside a volcano, on the ocean floor, and a random section of the Pacific Coast Highway.
The Wedding of Iron Man - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Century and Clint are arguing about music always conveying truth, Tony is standing between Julia and Wanda. A couple of shots later when Julia tells Century and Clint to cool it, she is now standing next to Wanda, with Tony nowhere to be seen. (00:03:23)
Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Some critics criticized the premise of so many one-off battles that were introduced and concluded within one or two episodes. Others felt the first-season plot lines were overly simplistic and never progressed or developed through the season. Also, the rivalry between Iron Man and the Mandarin also failed to capture viewer's attention.
