1* AudienceAlienatingEra: It's not a good idea to mention "[[CanonDiscontinuity Veridium]]" to most Metal Men fans.
2* HilariousInHindsight: One letters page for an early Metal Men story printed a letter suggesting that Doc Magnus become a Metal Man himself. Some thirty years or so later, that fan would get his wish.
3* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter: In the Silver Age, Tin built a girlfriend that became the [[SixthRanger seventh member of the team]]. This could have been an interesting way to shake up the pre-existing dynamics. However, she didn't get to do much. In fact, she was never even [[NoNameGiven given a name]] (although Tin would call her "Beautiful" which became a FanNickname). Later on, Copper got similar treatment.
4%%* ValuesDissonance:
5%%** In addition, some of Doc Magnus' treatment of Platinum in the Silver Age comics could off as abusive to modern viewers.
6%%** Metal Men once fought against Doctor Yes, who was an amalgam of offensive Asian stereotypes.
