Continuity mistake: When Reed is apologizing to Thing for using him as a guinea pig, he is standing next to a two seat sofa, which is in front of window. When Thing takes a swing at Reed, he is now standing next to a single seat chair with no window behind it. (00:13:35)
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Doom defeats Thing, he leaves him in an immobile state, telling him he won't be able to move or speak for the rest of his life. When Johnny and Crystal find Thing moments later, his fingers are in a different position than they were when he was first turned into a living statue. (00:07:05 - 00:08:00)
Continuity mistake: When Reed, Sue and Thing depart to battle Dr. Doom, Thing is wearing a sleeveless shirt and tights. When they all jump out of their plane, Thing is shirtless and wearing trunks when he begins sliding down the tree, and then wearing the shirt and tights again when the camera returns to him.

Continuity mistake: When Silver Surfer is sitting next to the lion, his right hand is resting on the ground to his right, and his left hand is resting on the lion's back. When the shot changes, his right hand is suddenly close to the lion's face, and his left hand is no longer touching the lion. (00:00:13)
Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Much of the negative reaction was due to the poor, simplistic, and outdated quality of the animation where the characters moved stiffly and clumsily through scenes.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.
