Continuity mistake: When Thing knocks Hulk into the construction vehicle, its crane and wrecking ball are relatively close to the ground. When the shot changes, the crane and wrecking ball are suddenly much higher in the air, allowing the wrecking ball to knock the Fantasticar out of the air. (00:15:24)
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)
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)
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)
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)
Other 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. However, the cameo appearance by Scarlet Spider in this episode creates a contradiction with Spider-Man, as in that series, Scarlet Spider was an alternate - and possibly cloned - version of Spider-Man from a different reality, who never visited the reality that this and the other Marvel shows take place in. (00:09:31)
Other mistake: When Dr. Doom's attendant is removing the wrapping from his left hand, in the first shot, he is simply holding onto the wrapping and moving his hand back and forth. (00:05:42)
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 the intruder alarm goes off, the display reads "Intruder alarm roof top hanger." It should say "Rooftop hangar." (00:02:12)
Continuity mistake: When the X-Men are watching Johnny and Rick Jones fly overhead, Wolverine's jacket briefly changes color. Additionally, Gambit's eyes change from having white sclera with dark irises, to correctly being black sclera with red irises, and then back again. (00:09:33)
Continuity mistake: When Dr. Doom is attacking Reed, there is a window on each wall. When he throws Reed against the wall, and when Rick Jones pushes the medical contraption into Doom, the window is missing. When Doom stands up, the window is back in place. (00:16:11)
Continuity mistake: When Thing and Hulk are battling at the construction site, the building's steel beams are red. When Reed is watching the fight on TV, the steel beams are gray. (00:15:04)
Continuity mistake: When Sue is watching Hulk and Thing fight on TV, Reed's hair is incorrectly colored blonde. (00:14:23)
Continuity mistake: When the helicopter arrives to film Hulk and Thing's battle in the street, the helicopter door is closed. When the shot changes, it is open. (00:14:05)
Continuity mistake: When Hulk and Thing are battling in the street, the driver's side door to the taxi that is next to them is open. When Thing punches Hulk and Hulk goes flying out of view, the door to the taxi is now closed. (00:13:32)
Continuity mistake: When Thing punches Hulk up towards the building, Hulk is flying towards windows. When the shot changes, Hulk is shown crashing through a hotel guest's wall, with no windows in sight. (00:13:13)
Other mistake: When Johnny is asking Rick Jones where Dr. Banner is, he pulls up the sleeve of his glove to look at the time on his watch. However, there is no bulge on his wrist to indicate he is wearing a watch under the glove in the first place. (00:12:29)
Continuity mistake: When Reed first appears onscreen, he is holding a set of vials in his right hand. When the shot changes, he raises his right hand to rub his eyes, and his hand is now empty. (00:07:25)
Continuity mistake: When Reed holds up the vial to Thing, Thing is facing him. When the shot changes, Thing has his back turned to Reed. (00:08:04)
Continuity mistake: When Johnny is first shown watching TV, his head is resting against two large pillows, one white and one pink, and Sue is walking towards him. When the shot changes, the both Sue and the pink pillow have disappeared. A few shots later, the pink pillow is back, but now both pillows are smaller. (00:07:11)
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.
