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)

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)

More trivia for Fantastic Four: The Animated Series

Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Much of the negative reaction was due to the poor, simplistic, and outdated quality of the animation where the characters moved stiffly and clumsily through scenes.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.
