Audio problem: When Xavier is saying "I fear Magneto may come to depend upon it like a drug," Beast is actually the one mouthing the line. (00:14:15)
Continuity mistake: A crowd of people has suddenly gathered in front of Magneto when Xavier says he wishes to speak with him. (00:14:20)
Continuity mistake: When Magneto first notices the missiles being fired at Asteroid M, he is dressed in loungewear and Xavier is wearing his usual green suit. When the shot changes Magneto is suddenly wearing his costume and Xavier is wearing a more casual outfit. Given how fast the missiles are shown to be approaching, they wouldn't have had time to change their clothes. (00:15:45)
Continuity mistake: The missiles that are fired at Asteroid M are first shown to be approaching from Earth. When the shot changes, they are coming from the opposite direction. When the shot changes again, they are once again approaching from Earth. (00:15:45)
Factual error: The Moon is more than 230,000 miles away from Earth, yet in a shot of Asteroid M just outside of Earth's orbit, the Moon is right there as well. (00:15:50)
Audio problem: Beast's mouth is wide open when he says "Feet don't fail me now." (00:02:05)
Factual error: When Rogue attempts to correct the space shuttle's flight path, she has to let go because of the intense heat due to re-entry. Indeed, a temperature as hot as a shuttle in re-entry (upwards of 3,000° F) would have completely melted through her gloves, yet when she lets go, they only have a little smoke coming off them. (00:03:40)
Factual error: Even though Xavier is a paraplegic, you can see him freely moving his legs when the astronaut helps him out of his seat and walk over to Beast. (00:04:20)
Continuity mistake: When Rogue is asking about Gambit's whereabouts, she along with Beast and Xavier are close to the front of the shuttle. When the shot changes, the three of them as well as one of the astronauts are suddenly further back in the shuttle (note the doorway). (00:04:25)
Continuity mistake: When Fabian Cortez is scapegoating Gambit in front of the mob, he grabs him by the blue clothing that lines the body armor on his chest. When he says to Gambit "Mark my words X-Man..." the blue clothing is now the same brown color as Gambit's trenchcoat. (00:05:20)
Audio problem: When Fabian Cortez says "Mark my words X-Man. Before this day is done you will beg me to let you join us," his mouth movement is out of sync with the words "is done." (00:05:40)
Continuity mistake: In the flashback during Magneto's memorial, when the Nazis are approaching his home it says "Lehnsherr" on the door. After they kick the door open, the writing on the door has disappeared and either a hatch or a small window has appeared on the door from nowhere. (00:06:20)
Continuity mistake: The security footage of Cortez betraying Magneto is slightly different than the event itself. Cortez stated that Magneto would serve the mutant cause better as a martyr and then jettisoned his chambers into space. The security footage somehow has a shot of Magneto's chambers being jettisoned from a long distance with Cortez's martyr comment voiced over. (00:14:40)
Continuity mistake: After Carmella Unuscione releases Wolverine and Rogue from her psionic grasp, Wolverine's face is colored blue. (00:15:00)
Other mistake: When Cortez is using the remote control for the power inhibitor collar to fend off Gambit and cause him pain, you can see that Cortez is actually pushing the "Mutant Power On" button and not the "Pain" button that's just above it. (00:16:25)
Plot hole: This episode establishes that Magneto lost his family in the Holocaust, which is taken from the comics. However, the season 1 episode Enter Magneto established that Magneto lost his family when a guerilla army occupied his country.
Beyond Good and Evil: Part 1 - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: A giant stone is covering the secret door to Apocalypse's Lazarus Chamber. After Cable presses the snake lever to open the door, the giant stone has disappeared. (00:03:35)
Beyond Good and Evil: Part 1 - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: The cake frosting on Cyclops and Jean's faces goes from being to just around their mouths to all over their cheeks. (00:10:50)
Beyond Good and Evil: Part 1 - S4-E8
Revealing mistake: The slice of cake that Wolverine cuts out already has the cut-lines animated on it before he starts slicing it. Probably to make it easier for the animators to animate his hand movement. (00:11:05)
Beyond Good and Evil: Part 1 - S4-E8
Continuity mistake: The crowd of animated extras that are on the mansion's porch have suddenly disappeared when Jean and Cyclops get in their car. (00:11:35)
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.
