X-Men

Cold Comfort - S3-E15

Other mistake: When Cyclops blasts Iceman with his optic beam, the image of Wolverine encased in ice remains on-screen, when it looks as if the shot was supposed to completely change to Iceman getting knocked back by the blast. (00:05:35)

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Other mistake: When the text depicting the episode name appears on screen after the opening credits, it says "The Phoenix Saga Part 2, The Cry of the Banshee." It should read "The Phoenix Saga Part 3, The Cry of the Banshee." Note: this mistake may only apply to the DVD version of the episode. The episode that appears on Disney+ correctly depicts it as "Part III." (00:02:20)

The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6

Other mistake: When the X-Men and Corsair encounter D'Ken in the hallway, D'Ken, Gladiator and Lilandra remain in the background while the X-Men and Corsair are wiped from the screen. It's as if this was meant to be a zoom in on D'Ken, Gladiator and Lilandra, but their size relative to the camera remained the same and the X-Men and Corsair are simply removed from view. (00:19:35)

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Other mistake: After Rogue knocks Gambit over, Gambit is in the foreground and Rogue is in the background. Despite this, the heel of Rogue's right boot appears in front of Gambit's left foot. (00:06:32)

Slave Island - S1-E7

Other mistake: When Storm sends the Genoshan prison guard flying into the Blob, he knocks the Blob over. The Blob's powers prevent him from being moved, hence why he is sometimes called the Immovable Blob. Other episodes demonstrated his ability to stand his ground against force, such as being punched by Rogue or being blasted by Cyclops' optical beam.

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Other mistake: During a flashback, Rogue is shown absorbing Pyro's mutant power and then creating fire out of thin air. However, Pyro does not have the ability to create fire, he can only control it. That's why he wears a flamethrower on the back of each hand.

Obsession - S3-E10

Other mistake: When Archangel fires a barrage of razors at Apocalypse, Apocalypse forms his hands into shields and deflects them, but in the same shot, a second barrage of razors magically appear out of the shields and are fired back at Archangel. (00:16:55)

Obsession - S3-E10

Other mistake: When the ship is counting down from 5 to 1 to signal when the bomb will detonate, it actually takes 5.5 - 6 seconds for the 5 seconds to elapse. Given that it's an advanced computer doing the countdown, it should be more accurate. (00:12:25)

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Other mistake: When Xavier is telling Moira about how he and Lilandra were attacked, Moira dismisses his claim, reasoning that he came to her for help because he could no longer trust his own mind, and that no-one else had been in his room. She witnessed him flying out of a window, and he's a paraplegic. Unless she thinks he somehow catapulted himself out the window, she shouldn't have been so dismissive of his claim. Not to mention the damage to the room, including the bed being thrown against the TV. (00:05:21)

Days of Future Past: Part 1 - S1-E11

Trivia: After Bishop travels into the past, he hears one kid telling another that they will be playing the new Punisher game "Assassin." When the Punisher was first being developed, he was originally going to be called The Assassin.

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.
