Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Character mistake: When Rogue asks Storm what her plan is for dealing with the closing walls, Storm says "You three stop the walls, I shall slow the ceiling." Besides Storm and Rogue, Jubilee, Jean Grey, and Gambit are also there, so Storm should have said "You four stop the walls." (00:03:12)

Continuity mistake: When Leech begins to telekinetically steal fruit from the vendor cart, he is stealing a red apple and what appears to be an orange with a yellow peel.

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Leech telekinetically splits up the mob, on his left are a man with a light blue shirt, followed by a man with an orange shirt, and man with a light blue shirt behind him. On his right are a man with a green jacket and yellow shirt, a man with an orange jacket and pink shirt behind him, and lastly, a man with a blue jacket and yellow shirt. When the shot changes, the men have not only swapped sides, but now it is two men in light blue shirts in front of the man in the orange shirt, and the man with the orange jacket and pink shirt is now just wearing an orange shirt, and he is standing in front of the man with the green jacket and yellow shirt, and the man with the blue jacket and yellow shirt is in front of him.

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: The picture of Jean and Cyclops Wolverine has framed shows them against a yellow-orange background, and Cyclops' sunglasses are red. When the picture is shown again at the end of the episode, the background is now white and Cyclops' sunglasses are gray. (00:08:14 - 00:20:44)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Other mistake: When Xavier is in the War Room with the rest of the team showing where the closest he could pinpoint Cyclops and Jean's location is, he is sitting in one of the chairs positioned around the table. Xavier is paraplegic and usually sits in his own hover chair. While there's no reason he couldn't be sitting in a regular chair, it would be very impractical for him to do so, especially if he's just instructing his team where they need to go. (00:11:07)

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.

More trivia for X-Men

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.
