The Origin of the Fantastic Four: Part 2 - S1-E2
Deliberate mistake: When the Thing is doused with the chemical that reverts him back to human form, he somehow also is suddenly wearing a T-shirt, jeans with a belt, and shoes, which is illogical since the Thing wears a speedo with no shirt and is barefoot. (00:05:35)
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)
The Silver Surfer & the Coming of Galactus: Part 1 - S1-E5
Mr. Fantastic: Galactus must have seen us. Why didn't he say anything?
Uatu: Do you greet the cockroaches on your kitchen floor?
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Trivia: When Blastaar comes through the Negative Zone into the Earth dimension, Thing remarks that Blastaar makes him look like Brian Austin Green. Brian Austin Green was the voice of Human Torch for the first season of this show. (00:11:18)
Question: Why was the first season of this cartoon received so negatively?

Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Much of the negative reaction was due to the poor, simplistic, and outdated quality of the animation where the characters moved stiffly and clumsily through scenes.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