Hidden Agenda - S5-E13

Hidden Agenda - S5-E13

Other mistake: When Rogue rendezvous with Beast, Xavier and Gambit, she pinches Gambit's cheek with her bare fingers. This should have caused her to drain his powers and render him unconscious. (00:14:10)

Hidden Agenda - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Gambit is restrained in the chair, his gloves alternate between being his usual gloves that are fingerless at the thumb, index and pinkie fingers, to not being fingerless, to him not wearing any gloves at all depending on the shot. (00:10:05)

Hidden Agenda - S5-E13

Continuity mistake: When Gambit jumps out of the ventilation shaft, there is no one around him. Then he is suddenly surrounded by guards who could not have converged on him so quickly unless they appeared out of thin air. (00:10:00)

Hidden Agenda - S5-E13

Other mistake: When Gambit pushes out the vent shaft cover from inside the ventilation system, his hands emerge gripping the outside of the cover. This would be physically impossible. (00:09:55)

Character mistake: When Beast is showing Gambit and Rogue the news report about Cannonball, it is shown to be featured in a magazine called Philologist's Quarterly. When Beast leaves the room, he remarks "Ah, there's my 'Philologist's Quarterly'." as if he didn't already see it. (00:04:25)

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.

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.
