X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Revealing mistake: When Bella Donna is preparing to shoot a blast of energy at Rogue, her body passes through the left hand of the man on her left that was holding her back. Half of her cloak then disappears as she strides forward. (00:14:42)

Mojovision - S2-E11

Revealing mistake: When Mojo's studio audience is cheering after he says "I give it two flippers up," you can tell by each character's celebratory movements that it is just a reverse of the shot where the audience was first shown earlier in the episode. (00:07:50 - 00:15:23)

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

Revealing mistake: When Professor X is telling Juggernaut that he is in his mind, if you look closely you can see there is a disembodied mouth on the right side of Professor X's face that is synchronized with his dialogue. Apparently an animation error. Note: this error may only apply to the DVD version of the episode, as it does not occur on the version of the episode that appears on Disney+. (00:04:00)

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.

Trivia: Following Disney's acquisition of Fox, the creators of this show pitched a revival to stream on Disney+. Producer Larry Houston has said he would come out of retirement specifically to work on this. 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.

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.
