Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Other mistake: When Xavier asks Magneto how much further they have to reach the top of the cliff, Magneto tells him he would rather not know, suggesting they still have a long way to go. However, in the wideshot of the sky-riders flying in to attack the two, you can see Magneto is about three times the length of his own body from the top, and according to the book "X-Men: The Art and Making of the Animated Series," Magneto is 6 feet tall. This means he is only about 20 feet, give or take, from the top, which isn't all that far in terms of climbing a cliff. (00:02:44)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Other mistake: Ka-Zar refers to Xavier by name despite only having just met him and Xavier never telling him his name. He even asked Xavier who he was only moments before. (00:09:19 - 00:10:17)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Other mistake: When Magneto is asking how the Savage Land mutates were able to infiltrate his citadel, Amphibious tells him it's because Mr. Sinister long ago found his secret passage. The room they are in leads to a balcony, and has no door sealing off the balcony. In a world of superpowered beings, some of whom can fly, it wouldn't take much effort to get into a building that isn't closed off. Finding a secret passage from the ground level would be unnecessary. (00:15:00)

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.
