Fantastic Four: The Animated Series

Behold, a Distant Star - S2-E10

Stupidity: When Johnny finds out his father is alive and wanted for murder, he is livid with his sister for telling him neither fact. When Sue decides to tell him the whole story, she asks Reed to pull a photo album from the drawer next to him, which contains a newspaper clipping detailing that their father was wanted for murder. If Sue didn't want Johnny to know about that, she shouldn't have placed the clipping in a photo album, and then kept the photo album in a communal area where Johnny could have easily discovered it at any time. (00:06:19 - 00:07:34)

The Origin of the Fantastic Four: Part 2 - S1-E2

Stupidity: When the robot is engaging Thing and Johnny, they both just stand there and let the robot attack them. This is especially dumb on Johnny's part, because he witnessed the robot knock Thing across the room before it turned its attention to him. (00:10:55)

Stupidity: When the prisoners in the cell block have all been released from their cells, there is news footage of them running around freely through the cell block. This is a foolish thing for the news crew to film, as they could easily be taken hostage by the prisoners. (00:08:52)

Answer: Gleaned from the Internet: Much of the negative reaction was due to the poor, simplistic, and outdated quality of the animation where the characters moved stiffly and clumsily through scenes.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