Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Factual error: When Hulk throws Abomination over the post office, the United States flag has only ten stripes, five red and five white. The U.S. flag has 13 stripes, seven red and six white. (00:04:50)

Down Memory Lane - S2-E2

Factual error: She-Hulk's license plate reads "GAMMA-GRL." She's from Washington DC and now resides in New Mexico. Both places have a limit of seven characters on a license plate. It can't be a vanity plate either, because both places also require front and rear plates.

Mind Over Anti-Matter - S2-E3

Factual error: When the Dark Hulk is attacking the city and destroys a helicopter, the occupants can be seen with their parachutes already deployed immediately after the helicopter has exploded. Not only would they not have had enough time to already be parachuting to safety, but given that the helicopter was only a few stories high in the air, they wouldn't have had time to safely deploy their parachutes in the first place.

Fashion Warriors - S2-E5

Factual error: When She-Hulk loses her grip on the elevator cable, she catches onto the structure on the walls, but Betty loses her grip and falls several floors before She-Hulk can fall after her. A couple of shots later, She-Hulk has already caught up with Betty, even though there wouldn't be enough distance for She-Hulk to have reached terminal velocity to catch up with Betty.

Hollywood Rocks - S2-E6

Factual error: She-Hulk stops the runaway truck by holding onto the back of it and letting her feet drag on the asphalt. Afterwards, her high heels are still intact. The friction from stopping the truck would have destroyed her shoes within seconds. (00:06:00)

Hollywood Rocks - S2-E6

Factual error: Dr. Doom traps Hulk on an asteroid and sends it hurtling towards the sun, which it reaches in a matter of minutes. The sun is around 93 million miles from the Earth. Even if the asteroid was traveling at one million mph, it would still take nearly 4 days to reach the sun, not merely a few minutes. The same mistake applies for Hulk returning to Earth within a few minutes.

Mission: Incredible - S2-E8

Factual error: When Bruce is tying the rope through the handles of the magnetic devices to prevent falling onto the laser beams, he only loops the rope through the one on the left, he doesn't tie a knot. The moment he started hanging onto the rope, his weight should have pulled it through the handle.

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.

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.

Answer: I believe it was mentioned in an issue of Wizard Magazine that the show was cancelled because of low ratings, and reportedly the show's creative shift in the second season had a part to play in the low ratings, as the changes alienated fans.
