* IdiotPlot: Even ignoring the multiple [[SeriesContinuityError continuity errors]] both between issues and from ''[[ComicBook/Revolution2016 Revolution]]'', the plot of the first arc seems to rely on the M.A.S.K. heroes not recognising V.E.N.O.M., despite them using exactly the same designs as they did in Revolution.

Added DiffLines:

* DesignatedVillain: In several episodes, VENOM's main objective is finding a historical treasure in a remote location, without being a danger to society. However, the show still treats these schemes with just as much urgency as the ones where they do deliberately endanger people, as MASK still attacks them in full force. These episodes always end with MASK getting their hands on the treasure, making it seem MASK is exploiting the hard work VENOM put in their schemes.

Works that share a creator are moved to Creator Driven Successor on Trivia per TRS


* SpiritualSuccessor: In 1996, ten years after the end of ''MASK'', Kenner — now under Hasbro ownership — created ''WesternAnimation/VorTechUndercoverConversionSquad'', another cartoon-backed toyline about two rival teams of agents fighting with superpower-granting helmets and transforming vehicles. According to a ''Vor-Tech'' cartoon writer, the brand was created by Hasbro as a way to reuse the ''MASK'' toy molds (as the [[Film/TheMask then-recent Jim Carrey film]] apparently made use of the ''MASK'' name nonviable). However, the cartoon was not as successful as ''MASK'' and lasted only thirteen episodes.

* SeasonalRot: A lot of fans aren't very fond of the second season, where the show was retooled to be about M.A.S.K. and V.E.N.O.M. competing in races.

** In terms of the toyline, most fans agree that the Split Seconds line isn't as good as the prior lines. The main gimmick of this line is that one regular vehicle splits into two combat vehicles. While the vehicles in prior lines feel somewhat plausible, most Split Seconds vehicles require much more SuspensionOfDisbelief to function. The fact that these don't appear in the show also doesn't help in terms of popularity.

* FridgeLogic: It's amazing any of the M.A.S.K. team had a day job, considering they would drop everything as soon as their signal watch went off.



* TheScrappy: Scott and T-bob are generally seen as annoying by many fans, as they frequently hog the spotlight from MASK and VENOM, while usually not contributing anything useful and get into trouble at least once an episode, requiring MASK to save the duo.

* VillainDecay: In early episodes, VENOM actually comes off as intimidating. By the end of the series they are complete clowns who are literally [[GoKartingWithBowser racing with the heroes]].

This is Flame Bait now.


* SnarkBait: IDW's comic is often seen as the weak link of the ComicBook/HasbroComicUniverse due to its dull plot, clunky dialogue and considerable continuity errors with the event it's supposed to tie into.

New link for the MASK theme, one that shouldn't get deleted (it's on the composer's own website rather than You Tube)


* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odskNtdPyDE Man that theme song is catchy.]]

* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odskNtdPyDE [[http://shukilevy.com/audio/mask/ Man that theme song is catchy.]]]] Not surprising, since it was composed by Shuki Levy like many other 1980s themes.
