X-Men

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

Continuity mistake: The rubble that Storm is buried under magically removes itself from her. Rogue could not have been the one to unbury her because the rubble falls at the same moment Rogue arrives on screen, and Storm could not have done it herself because she was unconscious. (00:19:20)

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

Continuity mistake: When Storm is explaining her behavior to Rogue, the communication devices from her chest are missing, owing to her ripping them off a few scenes earlier. Moments later when Rogue is draping a blanket over Storm, the communication devices are suddenly back in place. (00:20:12)

Obsession - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When the X-Men are first shown in the War Room, Beast is sitting between Rogue and Gambit, with Rogue on his right. Moments later when he asks Cerebro to identify the mutant activity it detected, Gambit and Rogue have swapped places. (00:03:17)

Obsession - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Rogue is tending to Archangel in the infirmary, the bowl with water in it is grayish-white. Moments later, the bowl is now red, and is noticeably larger. (00:06:30 - 00:06:58)

Obsession - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Apocalypse knocks Archangel into the ferris wheel, it is directly next to the water. However, the establishing shot of the pier showed the ferris wheel to be situated on the boardwalk, several yards away from the water. (00:10:37 - 00:11:33)

Obsession - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Apocalypse is forced onto the platform by his own defense system, his body covers much of the platform's circumference. A couple of shots later, the circumference of the platform is noticeably larger. (00:17:57)

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.

The revival - titled X-Men '97 - was announced on Disney+ Day in November of 2021 for a 2024 premiere date, with much of the surviving original cast returning.

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.
