Avengers: Age Of Ultron (2015)

James Spader voiced the nominal villain , Ultron , in 2015’sAvengers : Age of Ultron , enclose as an artificial intelligence borne from the Mind Stone who threatened the extinction of humankind in an endeavor to bring pacification to the Earth . short after his awakening , Ultron downloaded a wealthiness of info regarding Earth , human race and the Avengers , learning everything he needed for his architectural plan .

Unfortunately , Homecoming’s"8 Years Later"title card was far from an detached incident , as this mistake was reinforced byMichael Keaton ’s Adrian Toomes , a.k.a . the Vulture , only moments subsequently , when he suggest that his bunch had gone"eight years [ with ] not a word from the Feds . “The existent timeline ofSpider - Man : Homecominghas since been rectified , but this confusing mistake is still hard to ignore .

Marvel Studios ' The Marvel Cinematic Universe : An Official Timeline , a Word of God detailing the official timeline of the MCU ’s Phases 1 through 4 , proves thatThe Avengers’Battle of New York come in 2012 , and the events ofSpider - Man : Homecomingtake place curtly afterCaptain America : Civil Warin 2016 , four years later .

8"Fine. I’ll Do It Myself.”

The Infinity Saga ’s overarching supervillain , Thanos , was first glimpsed in the post - credits scene of 2012’sThe Avengers , and made another appearance in 2014’sGuardians of the Galaxybefore he go on to pitch this puzzling quotation .

Yet another consequence of muddiness inAvengers : Age of Ultroncame towards the end of the Phase 2 crossover film , after the Avengers had defeated Ultron . Age of Ultronleads directly intoThor ’s missionary station to track down the Infinity Stones- which he has promptly given up by the timeThor : Ragnarokbegins - after he mark that four Infinity Stones have recently seem . However , Thor and the Avengers would for sure only know of three Infinity Stones : the Space Stone , the Mind Stone and the Reality Stone . Guardians of the Galaxyintroduced the Power Stone , but Thor had no knowledge of these events , so this quote simply does n’t make sense .

On two occasion while hash out the legendary forge , Thor pronounces it as"Nivadellir,“swapping the " D " and " V " .

Avengers: Endgame (2019)

Perhaps the MCU ’s most puzzling quote ever was delivered by Mark Ruffalo ’s Smart Hulk during 2019’sAvengers : Endgame . In the aftermath of Thanos’Infinity Warsnap , the remain Avengers embarked on the Time Heist , so therules of meter travel in theMarvel Cinematic Universeevidently needed to be explain for the audience . While the time travel rules set out by Smart Hulk were surely confusing , they at least made a fiddling sense .

Marvel , LokiandDoctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , have blatantly broken these rules , work Smart Hulk ’s time change of location explanation much meaningless .
