Iron Man, on the Inside - S2-E6
Continuity mistake: When Tony and Julia are leaving Stark Enterprises, the window next to the entrance is suddenly larger than it was when Clint entered the building moments earlier. (00:01:23 - 00:02:01)
Revealing mistake: When Mandarin lifts up the fallen canopy, the arm that is underneath it is briefly transparent. (00:20:24)

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 Howard Stark is saying he doesn't remember how he ended up being a captive of A.I.M., his head and pillow are closer to the top of the bed than they were in all previous and subsequent shots. (00:07:19 - 00:08:01)
Revealing mistake: When Tony Stark is approaching his father Walter in the hospital bed, what looks to be a hair on the animation cel appears to the left (viewer's right) of Walter's head, beginning on the pillow and extending off the bed, and then disappears after a few frames, just before Tony steps into the shot. (00:07:32)
Continuity mistake: When Walter Stark is first shown in the hospital bed, his pillow is brown, and looks to be made from a hard material, judging from the light reflection coming off it. When the shot changes, the pillow is beige and looks soft like a pillow should. (00:07:19)
Continuity mistake: When Iron Man says "Stealth One out," Nick Fury has a toothpick in his mouth. When the shot changes, the toothpick is gone. (00:01:20)
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 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 Tony is asking his father if he remembers anything about Nick Fury, he leans up against a control panel, there is a large monitor behind him, and he is standing with his left profile to his father. When the shot changes, it is now a bare wall behind Tony, and he is directly facing his father. A couple of shots later, Tony is suddenly standing several feet away from his father, nowhere near the control panel. (00:10:41)
Continuity mistake: When the reporter is talking about Walter Stark being rushed to the hospital, the emergency vehicle behind her changes in appearance when the shot changes. (00:08:09)
Cell of Iron - S2-E3

Cell of Iron - S2-E3
Continuity mistake: When Dum Dum Dugan is holding up the documents for Iron Man to see, his right hand is grasping them by the top-center. When the shot changes to the documents reflected in Iron Man's helmet, Dugan's hand is missing from the reflection. The words on the document are also gibberish. (00:03:12)
Continuity mistake: When Rhodey is saying that A.I.M. has dispatched four choppers after them, Nick Fury is standing directly next to him. When the shot changes, Fury has moved away several feet. (00:02:11)

Factual error: When Mandarin is in the Himalayas looking for one of his missing rings in a bird's nest, he ends up getting attacked by a bald eagle. There are no bald eagles in the Himalayas or anywhere in Asia for that matter. They are only found in North America.
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.
