Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12

Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Annihilus shoots a beam of energy at the police helicopter, it is all by its lonesome. A couple of shots later, the Hard News helicopter and a third helicopter are suddenly in the same general airspace as the police helicopter. (00:08:12)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Annihilus is getting ready to throw his cocoon-like object at the heroes, he is shown lifting it with both arms. When the shot changes to him throwing it, he is only using his right arm, with not enough time having passed for him to lower his left arm. (00:09:25)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Other mistake: When the heroes are looking over the footage of their fight with Annihilus, Reed has been drawn twice. He is both at the control panel, and behind himself and to the right. The one that is not at the control panel was meant to be Johnny. (00:10:01)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Audio problem: When Thing is ordering a pizza, he appears to speed dial by pressing 2-#-2. The second time he presses the 2 button, it makes a different sound than the first time. (00:10:18)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Revealing mistake: The shot of Reed stretching out his arm to pull himself into the departing Fantasticar is recycled from the earlier episode The Silver Surfer and the Coming of Galactus: Part 1. (00:12:00)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Audio problem: When Thing dives from the Fantasticar towards Annihilus and Blastaar, he says "It's clobbering time" with his mouth wide open. (00:14:06)

Audio problem: When Annihilus is challenging Blastaar to a fight to the death, he says "I invoke" without moving his mouth. (00:14:37)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Factual error: When the heroes fly by the World Trade Center after Annihilus and Blastaar have begun battling each other, the 1 WTC building is missing its spire, and both buildings are incorrectly depicted as being conjoined by what appears to be a multi-level walkway. (00:18:13)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Thing and Alicia are first shown from outside the window, the table in front of them has nothing on it. When the shot changes, a bag of popcorn has appeared on the table. (00:01:21)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Thing turns on the TV, you can see he and Alicia are sitting several feet away from it. When the electrical interference occurs, they are suddenly sitting much closer to the TV. (00:01:42)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Reed changes the channel to the "March of Science" program, the electrical surge strikes the TV antenna on the roof, and you can see a grotesque next to it that wasn't there in previous shots. (00:01:53 - 00:03:26)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Ultimo first emerges through the TV screen, you can see that from shoulder to shoulder, he is almost as wide as the rug. When the shot changes, you can see he is now considerably smaller. (00:02:32)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Revealing mistake: When Reed is saying "I want to watch my favorite program," part of his nose disappears. (00:03:14)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Other mistake: When Reed punches the dinosaur, he transforms his hands into what looks like the end of a sledgehammer. While Reed can change the shape of his hands with his stretching ability, he does not have the power to change the color of his skin in the process. (00:03:57)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Reed is saying "If we do not find its source," his thumb is colored white. (00:05:10)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Alicia is wishing the heroes good luck, her forehead and right temple are visible. When the shot changes, almost her entire forehead and temples are covered by her hair. (00:06:03)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Alicia is asking Silver Surfer if everyone is in danger, his surfboard is propped against the ground, with the high end about level with his head. A couple of shots later, the board is level with his abdomen. (00:06:52)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Plot hole: The Fantastic Four fly into space in their Fantasticar, and they are not wearing spacesuits or helmets. Even more baffling is after they enter Galactus' ship, they put spacesuits and helmets on, so they can prepare for "spacewalking." They may have super powers, but they still need to breathe oxygen to live, so being in the vacuum of space without any proper suits should have killed them. The Fantasticar later in the episode shows that each seat has the capability of being sealed with an airtight bubble covering, but they didn't show those being used when they were flying in space. (00:08:15 - 00:09:30)
The Silver Surfer & the Return of Galactus - S1-E13
Continuity mistake: When Reed is confronting Doom, he stretches out towards him. A couple of shots later, he is shown stretching out towards Doom again. (00:10:21)
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.
