Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Audio problem: When Alicia is saying "Ben said he had a surprise for me, but what's he doing selling video tapes?", her mouth movement is not in sync with the dialogue. (00:01:59)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Miss Forbes enters the living room, Alicia is standing in front of the couch. When the shot changes, Alicia and Sue are shown standing perpendicular to it. When the shot changes again, they are back to standing in front. (00:02:00)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: After Sue tells Miss Forbes that Thing is an adult, and she can't control him, the yellow couch that is behind her is now red. Johnny was also sitting on the couch, but by the time it has turned red, he is nowhere to be seen. (00:02:09)

Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Audio problem: When Reed is saying "I'm afraid that's only part of the problem. That insectoid creature is loose somewhere in New York," his mouth movement is largely out of sync with the dialogue. (00:05:34)
Behold the Negative Zone - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When the infomercial host is showing the porcelain pigs from the Age of Enlightenment, one of the pigs is spinning around. When it changes to a wide shot, the pig is no longer spinning. (00:06:50)

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)

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)
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.
