Continuity mistake: When Dr. Doom is first seen, his left hand is bare, and he is wearing a gauntlet on his right hand. When the attendant finishes removing the wrapping from his bare hand, Doom walks over to a console and picks up two gauntlets off it, and both of his hands are now bare. Additionally, Doom's fingernails started out being short, but when he picks up the gauntlets, they are suddenly longer. (00:05:42)

Nightmare in Green - S2-E9

Other mistake: This series is in the same continuity as the other Marvel animated series that aired around the same time - X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, and The Incredible Hulk - by virtue of each aforementioned show crossing over with at least one of the others. However, the cameo appearance by Scarlet Spider in this episode creates a contradiction with Spider-Man, as in that series, Scarlet Spider was an alternate - and possibly cloned - version of Spider-Man from a different reality, who never visited the reality that this and the other Marvel shows take place in.

More trivia for Fantastic Four: The Animated Series

Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Much of the negative reaction was due to the poor, simplistic, and outdated quality of the animation where the characters moved stiffly and clumsily through scenes. There were also some obvious animation compositing gaffs. The animation colors were also criticized as being overly bright and cheery and out of character to the established story's darker tone. The broad humor of the first season was replaced by a more mature narrative between the characters.
