To Battle the Living Planet - S2-E6

To Battle the Living Planet - S2-E6
Revealing mistake: When Johnny first starts flying across Ego's surface, the edge of an animation cel is visible to the left of the pink tentacle. (00:05:48)

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.
Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7
Factual error: When the intruder alarm goes off, the display reads "Intruder alarm roof top hanger." It should say "Rooftop hangar." (00:02:12)
Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7
Other mistake: When Reed is looking at Africa on his radar, the continent is too crudely drawn to be a legitimate radar image. (00:05:52)
Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7
Factual error: When Reed is looking at the radar image of Africa, he states the blip on the radar is in equatorial Africa. However, the blip appears around where Namibia is, which is more than 1,500 miles south of the equator. (00:05:54)
Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: When the Wakandan children are crawling all over Thing, keep an eye on the one on the far left, and you will see his skin briefly changes to a darker color. Additionally, when Thing begins walking away, some of the villagers behind him are also shown to have their skin and clothing briefly changing color. (00:12:33)
Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7
Other mistake: When young T'Challa shoots Klaw in the hand with the sonic blaster, the pistol that Klaw was holding has disappeared into thin air. (00:14:40)
Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: When Klaw is boarding the helicopter, the door is open, and the interior is colored brown. After Klaw boards, the door closes, and then instantly turns the same brown color as the interior, making it look like the door disappears into thin air as soon as it closes. (00:14:54)
Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7
Continuity mistake: When Black Panther blocks Klaw as he tries to clobber him with his sonic cannon, Klaw's white sleeve is incorrectly colored red. (00:18:09)
Prey of the Black Panther - S2-E7
Audio problem: When Black Panther is saying "The Black Panther's ready to stalk again," he doesn't press his lips together when saying "Panther" in order to produce the "P" sound. (00:21:12)
Continuity mistake: When Frankie is telling Johnny that she has been reading about him, there are several men in the background. A couple of shots later, the characters in the background are different people altogether, including two women. (00:01:07)
Revealing mistake: When Nova blasts through the building, the wall where the hole is created has already been drawn as misshapen and discolored, likely to make it easier for the animators to animate. (00:02:53)
Plot hole: When Frankie tries to get Johnny to chase her out into space, he tells her he can't follow and warns her to turn back due to the thin atmosphere not being able to keep their flame powers active, and indeed her flames die out, and she begins falling back to Earth. However, several minutes later in the episode, both of them are just outside of the Earth when Terrax arrives, and again at the end after she becomes the new herald of Galactus, Johnny follows her into space well beyond Earth before his flames die out. (00:03:15 - 00:06:03)
Continuity mistake: When Frankie and Johnny are kissing, just before Terrax arrives, they are next to the spire of the Empire State Building. When the shot changes, they are suddenly in outer space. (00:05:53)
Continuity mistake: When we first see Bruce Banner, he remarks that the gamma patch he is wearing on his left pectoral didn't prevent him from turning into the Hulk. However, the patch was never there when he was Hulk just moments earlier. (00:01:46 - 00:06:27)
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)
Continuity mistake: When Hulk is leaping away from Central Park, his reddish brown pants are incorrectly colored blue. (00:05:36)
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.
