Proteus: Part 2 - S4-E5

Revealing mistake: When Proteus is leaving his father's home while possessing the police officer, the green glow of his eyes doesn't stay in place as he is moving. You can see the green glows leave his face and float in midair with the eye slots on the face turning black. It appears that the animators couldn't keep the glowing eyes synchronized with the body movement. (00:07:30)

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)

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)

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Plot hole: In the season one episode The Cure, when Pyro and Avalanche are in the bar on Muir Island waiting for Mystique to arrive, Avalanche says "This friend of yours better show up soon or I'm going back to jail, just for something to do!" Rogue then comes in and Pyro suggests to Avalanche that Rogue could be Mystique, to which Avalanche responds "What do you mean it could be? Don't you know what she looks like?", leading Pyro to tell Avalanche that Mystique is a shape-shifter. This dialogue implies that Avalanche has no idea who Mystique is, which is further substantiated when Pyro and Avalanche kidnap Mystique later in the episode while she is in the guise of Dr. Adler, and Avalanche didn't recognize Mystique when she revealed her true form. However in this episode it is shown that Pyro and Avalanche were both previously members of Mystique's Brotherhood of Mutants, so Avalanche should already know who Mystique is without Pyro having to tell him. Rogue was also a member of that group yet neither Pyro nor Avalanche recognize her.

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.
