The Origin of the Fantastic Four: Part 1 - S1-E1
Plot hole: The beginning of the episode shows video footage for Dick Clark's telethon of the Fantastic Four battling Namor underwater. However, the Fantastic Four didn't even meet Namor until the third episode of the series. (00:01:00 - 00:02:02)
Deliberate mistake: When Johnny is watching the news footage of the Hulk battling Thing, all the footage is merely clips from that portion of the episode, including parts of the battle that were happening before the camera crews even showed up. (00:02:50 - 00:07:20)

Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Much of the negative reaction was due to the poor, simplistic, and outdated quality of the animation where the characters moved stiffly and clumsily through scenes.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