Factual error: When Doom puts out Johnny's thermite-induced flame, he tells him his body will expand in the vacuum of space until he bursts. While a human body will expand in the vacuum of space, it wouldn't burst, as the skin is elastic enough to hold the body together. (00:12:12)

Plot hole: After Doom has stolen Silver Surfer's powers and retreats, Surfer tries to pursue him, but is too weak and falls off his board, and has to be rescued by Reed. Since they were in the vacuum of space, Surfer shouldn't have fallen off his board at all, he would have just floated away from it. (00:12:47)

Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Much of the negative reaction was due to the poor, simplistic, and outdated quality of the animation where the characters moved stiffly and clumsily through scenes.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