Movies based on Marvel Comics have been popular for quite some time now.
Marvel Studios themselves, Fox, Sony Pictures and various other movie studios have been
responsible for their production and distribution over the years, but what they all have in
common is the fact that they contain popular Marvel characters.On the whole, they've been
very good.
Movies based on Marvel properties have tended to perform better both critically and commercially
than those based on DC properties, for example - The Dark Knight Trilogy aside - but none
of them are perfect by any stretch of the imagination.If you look close enough, factual
errors, continuity errors, things being in shot that shouldn't be, and various other
mistakes are prominent in them all.
This video will take a look at some prime examples.
Here are ten Marvel movie mistakes the don't want you to find.
The Avengers There's a fairly silly continuity error in
The Avengers and it occurs just after the second engine goes down on the S.H.I.E.L.D.
Helicarrier, following the attack on it by the mind-controlled Hawkeye and Loki's other
henchmen.
The visual display in Iron Man's helmet shows the altitude of the Helicarrier as being 15,000
feet and rapidly falling.
However, a short time later, just after a dying Phil Coulson shoots Loki with the Destroyer
gun, even though it has been falling since the engine went down, the altitude on the
Helicarrier's bridge shows it as being at 18,000 feet.
Miraculously, it has somehow "fallen" upwards by more than 3,000 feet in that time.
Guardians of the Galaxy In Guardians of the Galaxy, when Peter Quill
and Gamora first encounter one another and get into a fight on the Nova Corps' home planet
of Xandar, Gamora grabs the Orb Infinity Stone that Quill is carrying and runs away.
Quill throws a laser-based lasso-type device at her, which snares her legs and causes her
to trip over.
She removes it and, immediately in the next shot, it has completely vanished from the
ground.
While you might want to argue that it was a laser and could just have dissipated, It
also had mechanical components, so even if the laser had vanished, the mechanical pieces
should still have been on the ground.
Deadpool In 2016's brilliantly irreverent Deadpool,
after Colossus and Negasonic Teenage Warhead interruped the Merc with a Mouth's interaction
with the villainous Ajax on the bridge, Colossus handcuffs himself to Deadpool in an attempt
to recruit him to the X-Men.
Deadpool flat-out refuses and even goes as far as to cut off his own left hand in order
to escape the Russian mutant's clutches.
However, as Deadpool falls from the bridge into a truck on the freeway below, it's actually
his right hand that's missing.
The CGI guys got that one very wrong indeed.
The Amazing Spider-Man In The Amazing Spider-Man, after Peter Parker
is bitten by a radioactive spider during a visit to Oscorp, he takes the subway to get
home.
During the journey, he discovers he has developed spider-like abilities, such as sharp senses,
incredible reflexes, super-speed and the ability to stick to things.
Inadvertently, this gets him into a fight and, at one point, a passenger uses Peter's
own skateboard to hit him.
The passenger in question is a black gentleman in a T-shirt, but a split second later he
appears to have inexplciably shapeshifted into a white guy wearing a checkered shirt.
X-Men: Days of Future Past In X-Men: Days of Future Past, which is set
in 1973, there are a number of factual errors that don't fit with the date in question.
The most obvious one occurs when Magneto enters the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium.
There's a groundskeeper lining a baseball field there - but that stadium didn't host
baseball in 1973, as the Washington Senators had moved to Texas to become the Texas Rangers
after the 1971 season.
In 1973, the only team playing there regularly was the NFL team the Washington Redskins,
so the only lining being done should have been for a football field.
Ant-Man Although it's a fictional concept and we allow
for the suspension of disbelief, the principal of size manipulation in Ant-Man is said to
work on the basis of the space between molecules altering - the space decreases for shrinking
and increases for enlarging.
This means that objects will weigh the same, regardless of their size.
Scott Lang couldn't ride an ant, therefore, and nor could Hank Pym walk around with a
60 tonne tank in his pocket.
Other errors of this nature include Darren Cross lifting a full grown sheep between his
finger and thumb, and the supersized Thomas The Tank Engine toy crushing a police car,
which it would actually be far too light to do any damage to.
Fantastic Four Let's be honest, the entirety of 2015's awful
Fantastic Four reboot could quite easily be an entry on this list, as it was a terrible
mistake to have ever made it, but we'd like to be a bit more specific than that - so let's
go with a particularly well-known mistake from within the movie.
Due to the reshooting of several scenes in the movie, Sue Storm's hairstyle, as well
as the texture, length and colour of her hair, changes from scene to scene, and even at times
from shot to shot.
This was because Kate Mara's hair had been cut when she was called back for the reshot
scenes and she was actually forced to wear a wig - which is actually kind of farcical.
Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance Right at the very beginning of Ghost Rider:
Spirit of Vengeance, Idris Elba's Moreau - a French priest in the movie - is riding on
a motorcycle with the license plate number NC-5 753-T. That is clearly visible in close-ups.
However, moments later, as he rides along a stone road that leads to the monastery he
is heading to, before he passes two guards at the monestary's entrance, we can see that
the screen has been flipped for some bizarre reason, as the number plate we had just seen
is briefly written backwards on the screen.
This was obviously either a mistake, or it was done on purpose without realising that
the audience would be able to tell.
Blade: Trinity At the start of Blade: Trinity, Blade is framed
for the murder of a human by the vampire community and he allows himself to be captured and arrested.
After an interrogation proves futile, the police prepare to hand Blade over to a group
of federal agents who, unbeknownst to them, are vampires.
He is rescued by Hannibal King and Abigal Whistler but, during their escape, he heads
to a higher floor in the police station to find his sword.
He reemerges outside after crashing through a window and landing dramatically on the concrete,
followed by a lot of glass, which covers the floor around him.
However, in the next scene, once he stands upright, the glass around him has weirdly
disappeared.
Captain America: Civil War Captain America: Civil War was fantastic - one
of the best movies of 2016 and the highest-grossing one of the year so far - but there's a mistake
in the movie that was even in the trailer and still made it to the final cut.
When Spider-Man makes his big entrance at the German airport where the movie's main
battle takes place, he flips through the air and relieves Captain America of his shield
using his webbing.
However, mere moments later, when he lands on top of the vehicle holding said shield,
the webbing has mysteriously vanished from it.
Given how sticky that webbing is, there's no way even Spidey himself could have removed
it that quickly.
