Continuity mistake: When Gambit places Bella Donna's ring on the ground, she is nowhere around it. When the shot changes, the ring is suddenly right next to her. Note: this mistake may only apply to the DVD version of the episode, as the version of the episode on Disney+ does have Bella Donna there when Gambit sets the ring down. (00:18:50)
Continuity mistake: When the External states the Guild of Thieves have dishonored the tithe, both the Thieves' and Assassins' tithe boxes are missing from their respective tree stumps. (00:17:10)
Continuity mistake: When the External is emerging from the water, the Thieves Guild's tithe box is missing from its respective tree stump. In the next shot, it is back in place. (00:16:30)
Continuity mistake: When Rogue flies back towards Gambit and Bella Donna, Bella Donna is standing behind Gambit. When the shot changes, Bella Donna is standing in front of Gambit. (00:15:35)
Continuity mistake: When the Thieves and Assassins guilds begin to skirmish, they start by trying to regain the weapons that Jean Grey telekinetically confiscated from them. A couple seconds into the fight and most of the weapons have disappeared altogether. (00:15:20)
Continuity mistake: When Gambit pushes Bella Donna over, she is on his left, and there is a tree stump on his right (out of shot). When the shot changes, she is up against the tree stump. (00:14:25)
Other mistake: When Gambit pushes Bella Donna down, the wedding veil that she was wearing comes to a stop in midair. (00:14:25)
Continuity mistake: When Gambit is looking at himself in the mirror while wearing a tuxedo, you can see in his reflection that he is barehanded. In the next shot when he removes the tuxedo, he is wearing his usual black gloves. Also, the rose on the tuxedo goes from being on his right side (reflection's left) to being on his left side just before he removes the tuxedo. (00:13:15)
Continuity mistake: In the first establishing shot of the Assassins Guild's mansion, there is a stairway leading up to the front door. In the establishing shot of the mansion in the scene where Gambit is in Bella Donna's bedroom, the stairway is missing, and consequently the mansion's porch area isn't as high off the ground. (00:09:20 - 00:13:20)
Other mistake: When Wolverine is threatening Pierre, there is a continuous shot lasting roughly 8 seconds in which Bobby is telling Rogue about Bella Donna, all the while Wolverine and Pierre remain in the foreground, and neither of them so much as moves a muscle in that 8-second span. Rogue also remains motionless for a majority of the shot. (00:13:35)
Continuity mistake: The cell that Bobby was held captive in is noticeably smaller after he is set free. (00:09:55 - 00:11:40)
Continuity mistake: After Bobby is set free, Gambit, Bella Donna and her henchman remain in Bobby's cell. When Bella Donna begins torturing Gambit, the two of them are suddenly alone in the cell. (00:11:20)
Revealing mistake: When the assassin is handing Bobby the tithe box, the assassin's left hand passes through the chair Bobby was sitting in. (00:11:15)
Continuity mistake: When Bobby starts walking out of his cell, Gambit has his back to him. When the shot changes, Gambit is suddenly facing him. (00:11:15)
Other mistake: When Bella Donna's henchman is letting Bobby go, he is shown to be walking over to Bobby empty-handed. After he unties Bobby, the tithe box has magically appeared in his hands. (00:11:10)
Continuity mistake: The two assassins standing guard outside the Assassins Guild's mansion have swapped sides when they let Gambit in the front door. (00:09:25)
Continuity mistake: After Jean Grey, Rogue and Wolverine locate Gambit's mini-jet, they land the Blackbird behind a row of plants. When they emerge from the Blackbird, the plants have disappeared. (00:08:55)
Continuity mistake: When the chosen one for the Thieves Guild tries to present their tithe to the External, he is shown walking right up to the tree stump where he was to have placed the tithe. When the shot changes, he is still walking forward, and therefore should've bumped into the stump. He is saying a line of dialogue as he is walking forward, so it can't be considered an action shown from a different angle. (00:06:15)
Continuity mistake: When the chosen one for the Thieves Guild is called forward to present their tithe, the chosen one for the Assassins Guild can still be seen kneeling before the External. In the next shot when the chosen one for the Thieves is shown arriving on the scene, the chosen one for the Assassins is suddenly back to standing among the other members of his guild. In the next shot, the chosen one for the Assassins is back to kneeling before the External. (00:06:00)
Other mistake: When Gambit is wiping sweat off his forehead, the locks of hair that he is rubbing his fist against do not move. (00:05:20)
Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
