Superskrull - S1-E7

Trivia: The Godzilla parody movie that the Skulls are watching at the beginning of the episode says it is presented by Roger Shnorman. This is a reference to cult-film director Roger Corman, who himself was an executive producer on a Fantastic Four film that was made around the same time this series aired, but was deliberately never released.

Behold, a Distant Star - S2-E10

Character mistake: When Sue is brought out of surgery, her father can be seen wearing a watch. Surgeons don't wear watches or any other kind of jewelry when performing surgery, as they can't be sterilized and can also get in the way of gloves. (00:05:00)

Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Much of the negative reaction was due to the poor, simplistic, and outdated quality of the animation where the characters moved stiffly and clumsily through scenes.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