Behold, a Distant Star - S2-E10
Continuity mistake: When Sue is talking about her father going into hiding, the camera is on the right side of a photo album, showing a newspaper clipping of him being wanted for murder. When the shot changes, the contents of that page are now three different photographs. (00:07:32)
To Battle the Living Planet - S2-E6
Continuity 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. This episode, which originally aired on November 4, 1995, features a cameo appearance by She-Hulk. However, Jennifer Walter's didn't become She-Hulk until the season 1 episode of The Incredible Hulk entitled "Doomed," which originally aired on November 3, 1996. We know "Doomed" takes place after this episode, because the later episode of this series, entitled Nightmare in Green, features a plot where Dr. Doom meets Hulk for the first time after discovering that he is also Bruce Banner, and attempts to use him to destroy the Fantastic Four, and "Doomed" showcases Dr. Doom once again trying to use the Hulk to suit his own ends.

Continuity mistake: When Dr. Doom defeats Thing, he leaves him in an immobile state, telling him he won't be able to move or speak for the rest of his life.

(00:17:13)
Continuity mistake: When Silver Surfer is sitting next to the lion, his right hand is resting on the ground to his right, and his left hand is resting on the lion's back.

Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Much of the negative reaction was due to the poor, simplistic, and outdated quality of the animation where the characters moved stiffly and clumsily through scenes.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.
