Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Rogue is flying toward Adler's lab, you can see the building is several stories off the ground. When she flies in through the hole in the roof, the interior of the lab is on the top-level, whereas the previous episode showed that the lab was on the ground level. (00:12:55)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When the three horsemen are climbing onto their mechanical horses, Famine's horse is in the middle, and Pestilence's horse is on the right. Once all three have all been individually shown to be mounting their horses, Famine and Pestilence have swapped places. (00:06:08)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Apocalypse is ordering War and Archangel to attack the tanks, Archangel's decollete is the same light blue color as his skin, when it should be the darker shade of blue that his outfit his, since his outfit leaves his face and hands exposed. The photograph Xavier shows Rogue of Archangel later in the episode also depicts the same error. (00:09:30 - 00:11:12)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Rogue is shackling Dr. Adler to the platform, she only applies the restraints to his arms and left foot, leaving the right foot unshackled. Moments after Adler reveals himself to Rogue to being Mystique, the right foot is now shackled as well. (00:13:31 - 00:14:08)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When the cameraman drops his camera, it lands on the ground and rests on a rock so that the lens is at a slanted angle. When the shot changes to the camera's point of view, it shows Apocalypse right side up, when he should be slanted to correspond with the camera. (00:10:14)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Storm turns on the TV, much of the Eiffel Tower is in the background. A couple of shots later, the reporter is standing in front of a building that would obscure much of the Eiffel Tower, and is also suddenly standing next to a news van. (00:07:47)

Come the Apocalypse - S1-E10

Continuity mistake: When Mystique, disguised as Warren Worthington, first walks into the bar, the walls are purple. When she is saying "You don't have to be mutants," the walls are now red. When the shot changes, they are back to being purple, and a framed picture has appeared over her left shoulder. (00:04:18)

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.

Red Dawn - S2-E4

Question: Does anyone know what the Russian writing says on the wall behind Omega Red when he is standing at the podium and talking about the return of the Soviet Union? (00:15:08)

Phaneron

Chosen answer: It says MPO "First Exemplary Printing House" which is a real printing company in Russia founded by Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1889. There seems to be something about "named after..." as well.
