Factual error: When Iron Man and Rhodey first begin defending Stark Enterprises from A.I.M, the moon in the night sky is far too large. (00:15:34)
Continuity mistake: When Tony first wakes up after being knocked out by Crimson Dynamo, you can tell by the angle of the light on the ceiling and Crimson Dynamo and the clone of his father leaning over him that he is lying down. When the shot changes, he is shackled in an upright position. A couple of shots later, he is lying down again. (00:18:09)
Continuity mistake: When Tony is shackled to the platform, the distance between the top of his head and the top of the platform, and his feet from the floor vary throughout the scene. (00:18:19 - 00:18:52)
Continuity mistake: When Crimson Dynamo is tossing Tony around, Tony opens up his armory by placing his hand on a biometric scanner on the right of the door. The scanner is then missing for the rest of the scene. (00:19:23)
Audio problem: When Mandarin is saying to the thief "Did you get it?", the thief's mouth is the one that is moving. (00:20:49)
Factual error: The opening shot of the episode with the Sphinx and the Pyramids is filled with numerous errors. Firstly, the Sphinx is missing its feet. Secondly, there is a stream in front of the Sphinx. There are no bodies of water in front of the Sphinx. There are temples there. Lastly, as the camera pans to the right, the Pyramids come into view, suggesting they are northeast of the Sphinx. One of the Pyramids is northwest of the Sphinx, and the other one is directly behind it. (00:00:01)
Other mistake: When Tony steps out of the mine shaft elevator, the animators have drawn the elevator to be following Tony as he begins walking. (00:04:13)
Continuity mistake: When Iron Man is dodging the collapsing statues, at one point, the floor has gone from being golden tiles to an earthly terrain. (00:12:35)
Continuity mistake: When Tony is telling Madam Masque that her craving for power tore them apart, they are standing on the right side of her vanity. When she calls him a liar, they are suddenly standing on a blue rug, several feet away from the vanity. (00:14:18)
Continuity mistake: When War Machine and Spider-Woman are standing underneath the hole Madam Masque created, in certain shots Spider-Woman is standing on War Machine's left, and in others, she is standing directly in front of him. (00:15:45)

Iron Man, on the Inside - S2-E6
Other mistake: When Iron Man has successfully shrunken down, Julia confirms that he has been reduced to the size of a molecule. However, the line separating the slabs on the floor of the platform he was standing on, as well as the edge of the platform behind him are also still visible. If he was the size of a molecule, the floor around him would also account for a very small surface area, not even large enough to be the size of a drop of water. (00:08:36)
Iron Man, on the Inside - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: When Iron Man is about to be injected into the reservoir of Hawkeye's IV bag, if you look closely, you can see the reservoir is empty. When the shot changes, it is suddenly filled with blood. (00:09:16)

Iron Man, on the Inside - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: When the hacker's home is first shown, he has a lawn between his house and the sidewalk. When Hawkeye and Iron Man are standing outside his house after the police have taken him away, the lawn has been replaced by a driveway. (00:18:55 - 00:20:04)
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.
