‘Avengers: Endgame’ Mistakes You’ll Never Be Able to Unsee

‘Avengers: Endgame’ is packed with action, including time travel and a massive hero battle. Because the movie is so complex, a few small mistakes in continuity or visual details slipped through during editing. These errors don’t affect the plot, but they can be noticeable once you spot them during a re-watch.

This collection highlights small mistakes and inconsistencies viewers have noticed while rewatching. Each entry pinpoints a specific moment or detail so you can easily find it yourself. These aren’t about subjective interpretations – they’re clear visual errors or details that don’t quite match up with what’s already been shown.

Hulk’s taco changes between shots

During a scene where the Benatar ship lands near the Avengers facility, it creates a gust of wind that scatters Scott Lang’s lunch. Hulk kindly gives him a new one, but a continuity error occurs with the tacos. The number of taco shells and how full they appear changes between different shots – a full shell quickly becomes smaller, then seems full again in the very next camera angle.

The way hands and napkins are positioned changes throughout the scene. Sometimes the napkin is folded under the taco, and other times it’s held against the side. The amount of food visible inside the taco shell also seems to increase and decrease, even though no one is actually eating.

The Stark gauntlet switches hands mid sequence

While passing the Nano Gauntlet to keep it from Thanos, the prop appears to switch which hand it’s designed for in a few quick shots. It’s clearly made for a right hand, as seen when Hulk uses it, but some brief chase scenes show what looks like a left-hand version.

As the camera pulls back to show more of the scene, the gauntlet appears to be set up for a right-handed user again. The way the fingers and thumb are positioned clearly shows it doesn’t quite fit with the rest of the gauntlet’s consistent design, suggesting a problem with how it was quickly put on.

Captain America’s shield straps do not stay consistent

During the final battle, a close look at Captain America’s shield reveals two leather straps with noticeable buckles. Throughout the fight, the position of these buckles and how tightly the forearm strap is fastened change from shot to shot, even though there’s no opportunity for anyone to adjust them.

The scratches on Thanos’s face appear to change position depending on the camera angle. A noticeable mark near the top of his face seems to move closer to the middle in one shot, and then back to its original position when the camera changes again.

Peter Parker’s classmates return the same age after five years

The movie picks up five years after the events of ‘Avengers: Infinity War’. When Peter goes back to school, he finds his friends are the same age as he is, even though they should have aged five years like the students who weren’t affected by Thanos’ snap. This creates a noticeable inconsistency.

This inconsistency appears in scenes at the memorial and in the hallways, where students who were away before the snap rejoin those who remained. The on-screen timeline establishes that half the students should be noticeably older than the returning group, but this age difference isn’t shown in those scenes.

Scott’s storage lot footage shows a conflicting date

After Scott Lang returns from the Quantum Realm and reviews the security footage at the storage unit, the date and time shown on the screen don’t quite match up with how much time has supposedly passed. Specifically, the month and year displayed on the monitor don’t agree with later statements about how long he was gone.

You can spot the error on the screen, and pausing allows you to compare it to what the characters say – which establishes a five-year time difference. This difference causes a minor inconsistency between something shown on screen and the story’s timeline.

Hawkeye’s sleeve and tattoo coverage jump in Tokyo

Clint Barton’s first appearance as Ronin is in a rainy Tokyo alley. As he approaches, the camera focuses on his arm, briefly showing off more of his skull tattoo. However, in the very next shot, the tattoo appears smaller, even though he hasn’t moved.

I’m absolutely captivated by how the light plays on her skin and the wet fabric. It’s fascinating to watch – as the camera moves, the way the water glistens and the fabric clings changes with every angle. And it creates this incredible effect with her tattoo, making it seem to fade in and out, almost like it’s breathing. The shifting wetness and the way her sleeves move really contribute to this magical, inconsistent reveal.

Rocket’s injector moves between hands in Asgard

Okay, so when Rocket and Thor get to Asgard looking for the Aether, things get really interesting. Rocket pulls out this little extractor device, and the way it’s shot is so clever. The camera quickly cuts back and forth, showing the device being passed around. It’s like, one second the needle is pointing out, the next it’s pointing in, but there’s no actual movement shown to explain how it flipped – it just *happens* with the editing. It’s a really cool, almost disorienting effect.

The way Rocket holds the tool keeps switching – sometimes with both hands, then just one, and back again, very quickly. Because the camera angle changes, it looks like the tool isn’t always in the same place, creating a visual inconsistency in that hallway.

The 1970 S.H.I.E.L.D. emblem does not match the era

During a 1970 visit to Camp Lehigh, the S.H.I.E.L.D. eagle emblem on signs and badges featured a more modern design. The eagle’s wings were sharper and the surrounding circle was updated, indicating a later design style than what was used in earlier scenes of the series, which reflected the look of the late 1960s.

Labels on boxes and lab equipment now feature a newer logo. Seeing this modern design used consistently throughout the set hints at a change that doesn’t quite match the time period the show is supposed to be set in.

The Benatar’s exterior damage changes mid landing

As the Benatar spaceship approached the Avengers facility and landed, it appeared damaged – with scorch marks and dents visible on its exterior. However, as it touched down and the ramp extended, many of these imperfections faded or disappeared completely. A panel on the right side that looked bent during the approach straightened out once the ship was on the ground.

The paint damage around the ramp’s frame keeps changing. You can clearly see a chipped area near the hinge in one shot, but it looks fixed in the next, when the camera shows the team getting off. The damage isn’t consistent throughout the landing sequence.

New Asgard signage appears with two different looks

As the story moves to New Asgard, a sign appears by the side of the road. Initially, the sign looks worn and faded, with rough lettering. However, in subsequent scenes, the sign appears cleaner and the letters seem slightly more spaced out, particularly between the words on the second line.

A small marker on the game board also moves slightly with each scan. It appears closer to the edge from one angle, then further away the next time the same piece is scanned. It looks like the prop used for the scan was either switched out or reset between takes, causing this change to be visible on screen.
