The Dark Phoenix (2): The Inner Circle - S3-E12

Continuity mistake: When Sebastian Shaw is pulling the secret book on the bookcase to open the passageway, he pulls from the center column on a row of all yellow books, roughly 4 books from the edge. When the shot changes, he is pulling the right-most book on the column to the left of the center column, and the books on the shelf are a variety of colors. (00:18:15)

Dark Phoenix (1): Dazzled - S3-E11

Continuity mistake: When Gambit throws a kinetically charged playing card at the White Queen, Wolverine is directly behind him, and Beast is behind him and to his right. A couple of shots later when Pierce has lifted Gambit by his collar, Wolverine has disappeared and Beast approaches Gambit from his left. Wolverine then reappears in his original spot after Pierce throws Gambit at Beast. (00:19:09)

Trivia: Following Disney's acquisition of Fox, the creators of this show pitched a revival to stream on Disney+. Producer Larry Houston has said he would come out of retirement specifically to work on this. 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.

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.
