The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5
Revealing mistake: When Professor X is telling Juggernaut that he is in his mind, if you look closely you can see there is a disembodied mouth on the right side of Professor X's face that is synchronized with his dialogue. Apparently an animation error. Note: this error may only apply to the DVD version of the episode, as it does not occur on the version of the episode that appears on Disney+. (00:04:00)
The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When Juggernaut throws Xavier out the open window, Xavier is shown going through roughly the middle area of the open space. When he is flying through the air from Banshee and Moira's perspective, he is falling from a higher position. (00:05:02)
The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5
Other mistake: When Xavier is telling Moira about how he and Lilandra were attacked, Moira dismisses his claim, reasoning that he came to her for help because he could no longer trust his own mind, and that no-one else had been in his room. She witnessed him flying out of a window, and he's a paraplegic. Unless she thinks he somehow catapulted himself out the window, she shouldn't have been so dismissive of his claim. Not to mention the damage to the room, including the bed being thrown against the TV. (00:05:21)

Continuity mistake: When Black Tom Cassidy is first shown counting his money, he's seated at a table with no wall near his backside.

Continuity mistake: When Erik the Red is asking Lilandra why she won't answer him, there is a lamp in the background on the left. When the shot changes, a decorative stand has appeared next to the lamp. (00:12:00)
The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5
Continuity mistake: When Gladiator is landing at Cassidy Keep, Jubilee, Gambit, Wolverine and Banshee are spaced apart. When the shot changes, they are standing side by side. (00:16:43)
The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5
Audio problem: When Lilandra is saying "No, for the sake of the universe, no," her mouth movement is not in sync for some of the dialogue. (00:18:23)

The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6
Audio problem: When Phoenix says "We must movie quickly to safeguard the crystal," she is speaking in Lilandra's voice. (00:06:10)
The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6
Character mistake: When Raza is firing the recalibrated stun ray at the X-Men, the control panel misspells "target" as "tareet." (00:08:10)
The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6
Plot hole: Corsair takes out the X-Men by having Raza calibrating their stun weapon to humans. Since Corsair is also a human, the blast renders him unconscious along with the X-Men, and the Starjammers take him away. When Wolverine and Phoenix regain consciousness, they realize that Cyclops has been taken by the Starjammers as well. The problem is since Corsair was unconscious, he couldn't have possibly ordered the Starjammers to take Cyclops with them, and the Starjammers had no reason to take Cyclops of their own volition. Raza even acknowledges that Corsair is the one that takes Cyclops. (00:08:15 - 00:09:00)
The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6
Continuity mistake: When Corsair first enters Cyclops' holding cell, the door says "Security Cell 3." When Corsair leaves the room, the door simply says "Security Cell." (00:09:00 - 00:13:15)
The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6
Audio problem: When D'Ken is ordering Gladiator to identify himself, he is speaking in a voice that sounds more like Dr. Corbeau from a few episodes earlier than it does D'Ken. (00:09:20)
Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
