Savage Land, Strange Heart (1) - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, Sauron can be seen wearing the necklace of Garokk. Not only is he not wearing the necklace a few shots later, but he isn't even supposed to have the necklace until a few minutes later in the episode when Zaladane gives it to him after he reverts to his human form. (00:01:05 - 00:04:10)

Savage Land, Strange Heart (1) - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Lykos transforming into Kazar, his wings tear out of his jacket sleeves, and are incorrectly colored the same brown as the jacket. A couple of shots later, his wings have disappeared and don't form again until his entire jacket is torn off. (00:07:13)

Savage Land, Strange Heart (1) - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Beast contacts Rogue on her wrist communicator, you can see she is wearing the usual yellow gloves, green sleeves and brown jacket of her uniform. When the shot changes, she is wearing the long-sleeve blue shirt without gloves that she was wearing earlier in the episode. (00:07:40)

Savage Land, Strange Heart (2) - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: When Storm breaks off communication with Beast, the animation suggests that she is removing the communicators from her chest, but they remain in place. A couple of shots later, they are completely gone. They then reappear and disappear throughout the rest of the episode. Note: this mistake may only apply to the version of the episode that appears on the DVD. In the version of the episode that appears on Disney+, Storm does indeed rip the communicators off her chest.

Slave Island - S1-E7

Plot hole: After Storm's attempt to escape the Genoshan prison is thwarted, she ends up in the ocean right at the shoreline of the beach, where she is captured by a Sentinel. Aside from the fact that it makes no sense for a Sentinel to be hiding in the ocean in the event that a mutant tries to escape the prison, there is absolutely no way that a two-story tall robot could hide in the ocean right by the beach, as the water would be way too shallow. You can even see that the water level only goes up to the Sentinel's ankle area when it is standing upright in the ocean. (00:03:15)

Suggested correction: Perception. (1) The Sentinel isn't as close as it appears. If it were close, then she would have been caught in its waves as it emerges. Also, she would be looking only at its chest circle. It's several yards away. (2) She washes ashore. She fell from the sky. She couldn't have fallen from that great height into shallow water without hitting bottom. (3) It's also a two-story tall robot. Its weight would sink it into the sand. So it could have very well been down that deep.

Sentinel never sank into sand in other episodes.

Well, it's shown here.

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know why Gambit was featured less and less in episodes as the show went on? He was one of the most popular characters in not just X-Men, but all of Marvel Comics around the time this series first aired, so unless it had something to do with his voice actor's contract, it seems odd they wouldn't have utilized him more.

Phaneron

Answer: Chris Potter, the original Gambit voice actor, did indeed quit the role in the 4th season. His last episode was The Phalanx Covenant Part 1 so it seems reasonable that Fox would limit the use of the character even though it was recast. It doesn't appear that Potter left the role due to animosity, he stated in an interview that he wished to play Gambit in the first live action X-Men film.
