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.

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)

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.
