Slave Island - S1-E7

Continuity mistake: Gambit and Jubilee are shown to be grouping together what appears to be several pieces of malleable rebar. When the shot changes to Gambit reassuring Jubilee that Storm is alive, he is shown to be working with a single piece of rebar. When the shot changes again, they are back to working with a bunch of rebar. (00:05:00)

One Man's Worth: Part 1 - S4-E1

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Gambit places Bella Donna's ring on the ground, she is nowhere around it. When the shot changes, the ring is suddenly right next to her. Note: this mistake may only apply to the DVD version of the episode, as the version of the episode on Disney+ does have Bella Donna there when Gambit sets the ring down. (00:18:50)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When the Thieves and Assassins guilds begin to skirmish, they start by trying to regain the weapons that Jean Grey telekinetically confiscated from them. A couple seconds into the fight and most of the weapons have disappeared altogether. (00:15:20)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When Gambit is looking at himself in the mirror while wearing a tuxedo, you can see in his reflection that he is barehanded. In the next shot when he removes the tuxedo, he is wearing his usual black gloves. Also, the rose on the tuxedo goes from being on his right side (reflection's left) to being on his left side just before he removes the tuxedo. (00:13:15)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: In the first establishing shot of the Assassins Guild's mansion, there is a stairway leading up to the front door. In the establishing shot of the mansion in the scene where Gambit is in Bella Donna's bedroom, the stairway is missing, and consequently the mansion's porch area isn't as high off the ground. (00:09:20 - 00:13:20)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: After Bobby is set free, Gambit, Bella Donna and her henchman remain in Bobby's cell. When Bella Donna begins torturing Gambit, the two of them are suddenly alone in the cell. (00:11:20)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When the chosen one for the Thieves Guild tries to present their tithe to the External, he is shown walking right up to the tree stump where he was to have placed the tithe. When the shot changes, he is still walking forward, and therefore should've bumped into the stump. He is saying a line of dialogue as he is walking forward, so it can't be considered an action shown from a different angle. (00:06:15)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: When the chosen one for the Thieves Guild is called forward to present their tithe, the chosen one for the Assassins Guild can still be seen kneeling before the External. In the next shot when the chosen one for the Thieves is shown arriving on the scene, the chosen one for the Assassins is suddenly back to standing among the other members of his guild. In the next shot, the chosen one for the Assassins is back to kneeling before the External. (00:06:00)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: During Gambit's flashback, the chosen one for the Assassin's Guild is shown to be placing their tithe box on the stump of a tree roughly halfway between the center ring and the outer edge. When the shot changes, the tithe box has suddenly moved to the center of the stump, and the tithe box itself is suddenly wider and shorter and has rotated 90°. (00:05:00)

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.
