Fantastic Fortitude - S1-E8

Revealing mistake: When Hulk jumps out of the river towards the New York skyline, he disappears into thin air.

Phaneron ★

Innocent Blood - S1-E5

Revealing mistake: When the Hulk is sitting on the edge of a building, Talbot suddenly appears in a helicopter to ambush him. If you watch closely, you can see the helicopter originates from behind Hulk instead of rising up from behind the building.

Phaneron ★

Helping Hands, Iron Fist - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: When Iron Man appears on the screen in the Hulkbuster armor, if you look at the background behind him, there is a closed door behind him to his right and a control panel directly behind him, which means he appeared from out of nowhere.

Phaneron ★

Man to Man, Beast to Beast - S1-E6

Revealing mistake: When Hulk uppercuts Sasquatch into the ice wall, if you look closely you can see that Hulk's fist doesn't even make contact with Sasquatch.

Phaneron ★

Doomed - S1-E7

Revealing mistake: When the robot blasts through Jennifer Walters' door, the robot appears out of thin air just in front of the door frame.

Mistakes

Darkness and Light: Part 1 - S1-E11

Plot hole: When Hulk and Banner have been physically separated by the nutrient bath, they are both wearing tattered pants. Given that Hulk and Banner were previously occupying the same body, this should not be possible. Hulk was the one that went into the nutrient bath, so if Banner's body was separated from Hulk, then Banner should be naked.

Suggested correction: It was done deliberately as a form of censorship. They didn't want to show Bruce's genitals.

Explaining why the mistake occurred doesn't invalidate it. Unless you're suggesting the nutrient bath also was able to duplicate the pants.

I am not. I am just explaining the reason behind this error.

Do you have a source for this explanation? If not, I would call it conjecture and while it doesn't invalidate the mistake, it does change it to a deliberate mistake if true.

You realise a character can be drawn naked without actually showing their genitals (and/or breasts in the case of women), right? The Little Mermaid is a good example of this.

Trivia

The Return of the Beast: Part 1 - S1-E1

Trivia: When we see the flashback of the accident that caused Bruce Banner to become the Hulk, at first we see the Hulk colored gray and then slowly turn green. This is a reference to the comics, in which the Hulk was gray in his original appearance.

Questions

Show generally

Question: Why does General Ross keep trying to kill Hulk?

Answer: The Hulk is a giant brute who smashes everything in his path when he is angry. In Ang Lee's "Hulk," General Ross, played by Sam Elliot, explains it to his daughter.

Answer: Because he feels the Hulk is a threat to all life on Earth, and particularly his daughter's close relationship with Bruce Banner puts her at risk when Hulk enters the equation.

Phaneron ★

Why does Ross think the hulk is a threat?

Because the Hulk is nearly mindless and goes on destructive rampages with high risk of collateral damage.

Phaneron ★

If that's the case, what's the problem with the way general Ross judges the hulk?

It's nuanced. Ross is correct to recognize the potential danger the Hulk presents, but he's also too stubborn to realise that he usually exacerbates the Hulk's rampages by trying to engage him in combat instead of trying to calm him down.
