i almost


I watched Mask of Doom 3 parter (in first season) on my DVd today (I bought the DVD last year and watched some of the episodes one by one since) and I was so disgusted when watching the 3 parter of mask of doom (Which introduced dr. doom, and they did a bad job introducing him and introduced him later in season 1 when he is batman's joker etc) that I almost threw the remote control down in ANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS that disgusted. Dr. dooms design was terrible and look nothing like the movie, 2nd season or comics and in part 1 his eyes glowed red, and ect and HIS VOICE SOUNDED LIKE A ROBOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! at times the aniation was bad bad bad. It took almost a whole episode, PART 2, of explaining his origin (it was good getting us to know how he became dr. doom, but it was way way way too detailed) to sue and that episode, part 2, all ben, mr. fantastic and johnny did was go through his castle full of traps, and THE FINALE in PART 3 WAS WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY WAY TOO RUSHED!!!!!!!!!!! GRRR They did not fight him when they gave him the artifact in which they cuased for him to go on fire and get down to nothing but his metal self and he just left. GRRR. and in behold the negative zone they did nothing worthy with annilhus and blastaar and their designs where bad and blastaar yelled say farewell to your life and yells in a weak voice life. annilhus grunts at first. ABout the first season finale, return of silver surfer and galactus, galactus only appears at the end though the title is mentioned and DR. doom's design is still bad and his speach to the world when he stole silver surfer's powers was somewhat cheasy. for mole man the flame on rap sounded like he was depressed and did not sound good. and coming of galactus 2 parter, the characters did nothing but sit there on the building, THE WATCHERS DESIGN AND VOICE WAS HORRIBLE AND LOOKED LIKE SOMETHNING FROM THE 60s or 70s, galactus licked his lips when prepareing to eat the earth, the animation in some scences terrible, galactus only runs away because of the ultimate nullifier, he does not fight htem himself much, firelord's voice is awful. ABOUT THE SKRULL EPISODE, they only gave up on trying to rule earth becasue REED Showed them monster movies making them think they are attacking the earth and THEY FELL FOR IT: THAT IS DUMB AND THEY DID NOT DO MUCH BUT WAIT FOR HTE FANTASTIC FOUR TO BE FRAMED SO THEY COULD RULE THE EARTH. superskrull was ok, but they then realized they THEIR ORIGIN WAS RUSHED IN the first episode and they only told their origin through a tv talk show and if they had not haed the talk show maybe it would have given them more time.the thing I found interesting on season 1 was that nasty landlady mrs. forbes who would always harrass them and she even tried to evict them once and she instrucs her dog to harm

For season 1 dvd, the episodes I have yet to watch is namor the submaranor and Origin of fantastic four part 2. the background music seems old style they have a lot and it is stuck in my head now. the theme song is stuck in my head, like these lyrics in the end one: there's galactus looking hungry, good ol doom si near here comes the skrulls invading do you have to run in fear (An echo sounds and says in fear), no way no way no way, just fall the four.
ABOUT SEASon 1 the animation is awful looking and the show then looks as if it came out in the 70s or 80s!!!

season 2 was awsome and had better designs and I LOVED SEASon 2,

I agree almost completely about season 1. In fact, I can only ever watch season 2 anymore.

Not me, Season 1 was good aside from some comedic moments. Season 1 had better animation. The Thing actually had some detail to his "skin".

The first season felt like it was made on the cheap. I read that Marvel for Season 1, used Wang Film Productions and Kennedy Cartoons for the animation. You can tell when Wang did the animation because they have a bright almost digitized look to them (think of the 1980s episodes of The Jetsons, when it was revived after early 25 years and many other Hanna Barbara cartoons of that time period). Meanwhile, Kennedy had a more rubbery and "dirtier" look to its animation. I read a comment elsewhere, that the Thing in Season 1 looked like how a rock creature would look like in a Tiny Toons cartoon.

Dr. Doom and the Silver Surfer in particular, looked atrocious in Season 1:

The characters looked too stiff, especially the Thing. They would also make weird poses in-between a mediocre frame rate. More to the point, art-wise, the designs lacked detail, the colors used were bright and cheery, and characters continually went "off-model". For example, Doctor Doom looked badly out of proportion, and the Silver Surfer looked like a walking piece of melted wax.
