Factual error: When Xavier is getting ready to get back into his hoverchair, you can see him raise himself to his knees, even though he is a paraplegic. (00:13:43)
Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Character mistake: When Jubilee wakes up in the infirmary, the sphygmomanometer on her wrist has been applied over her gloved hand, which could cause a false reading. Beast is the X-Men's resident doctor, so presumably he's the one that applied it to her, so he should have known to remove her gloves first for more accurate readings. (00:08:24)
Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Factual error: When the Sentinel reaches out to try to grab the dog, it smashes its hand against the grass and produces numerous cracks in the lawn with a metal clanging sound. Neither of these things would happen. The grass would have a bunch of divots in it, and the sound would be similar to something heavy falling in dirt. (00:02:09)
Continuity mistake: When Magneto destroys the wall of Beast's prison cell, the night sky is visible. When Magneto is asking Beast why he isn't escaping, another wall is now there instead of the sky. (00:03:21 - 00:04:06)
Other mistake: When the helicopters are attacking Magneto, they are firing their guns at him, and then he destroys them, at which point you can see the occupants parachuting away at the same time the helicopters explode. There's no way they could have been operating the guns and then jumping out of the helicopter to safety in one second. (00:06:01)
Night of the Sentinels: Part 2 - S1-E2
Character mistake: When Beast is uploading the virus to delete all the mutant files from the computer, Storm destroys the monitor with a bolt of lightning and says they have run out of time. Destroying the monitor wouldn't magically erase the files. While she may not know that, Beast definitely would, so at the least, he should have asked her to destroy the computer tower and hard drive as well. (00:06:13)
Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Other mistake: In the scene where Professor X uses his psychic powers to deduce that Jubilee is trying to escape the mansion, there is a semi-dissolve edit that simultaneously shows a close-up of Professor X with his left hand on his forehead and a counterpart image of Jubilee hiding around the corner. If you look closely at Professor X in the counterpart image of Jubilee, his left arm and hand are shown to be on his hover-chair's armrest and not his forehead.
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.
