Cold Vengeance - S1-E6

Factual error: After Wolverine falls into the ocean, he surfaces and grabs onto a platform of ice just after Sabretooth gloats about defeating him. Since Wolverine's skeleton is coated with a heavy metal, he wouldn't be able to surface. He would sink to the bottom and at the least have to resort walking to the nearby cliff wall and using his claws to scale it until he is back on the ground. (00:03:48 - 00:04:24)

The Final Decision - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Trask turns the laser onto the propane gas tank, it is on Master Mold's left. When Master Mold reaches down to try and stop the laser before it causes the tank to explode, it is now on his right. (00:16:04)

The Final Decision - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Rogue is calling out to Gambit just before Jean and Senator Kelly exit the mine shaft, the X logo on her chest is a yellow X on a red background, when it should be a black X on a red background. (00:17:57)

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Mystique starts walking away from Rogue, her footsteps are audible, and she takes about four steps. When the shot changes to a closeup of Rogue asking why Mystique tried to turn her into one of Apocalypse's slaves, if you listen carefully, you can hear Mystique take about ten more steps. When the shot changes again, Mystique is suddenly only a couple steps away from Rogue. (00:18:58)

The Final Decision - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Jean is using her telekinetic powers to rescue Senator Kelly from Master Mold's lab, she drops him on the floor in the middle of the lab. When Cyclops gets blasted by Master Mold after he and Jean run to grab Kelly, Jean and Kelly are suddenly inside the mine shaft. A couple of shots later, Jean and Kelly are now standing at Master Mold's feet. (00:15:42)

The Final Decision - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Gambit is asking Xavier why the X-Men must all die to save Senator Kelly, the top of Wolverine's mask is incorrectly colored blue. A few shots later, this portion of the mask is correctly colored yellow, but then the portion of his mask by his right cheek is also yellow, when it should be black. (00:09:48)

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: After Blob knocks Cyclops to the ground, Jean helps him up, and the two of them are standing a step away from Blob. The shot changes to Blob pointing and laughing for roughly a second, and when the shot changes again, Cyclops and Jean have disappeared, with not enough time to have moved offscreen. (00:12:20)

The Final Decision - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Trask's voice is first heard coming from Gyrich's cell phone, the phone is in the top left corner of the floor tile. When the shot changes, the phone is now in the center of four smaller tiles. (00:09:12)

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Xavier's watch magnetically clings to his hoverchair, the body of the watch is pointing at 1 o'clock. In the next shot, it is pointing at 12 o'clock, the minute hand has advanced roughly 4 minutes, and the watch has also moved down the chair and to the right a few inches (note the contour lines on the chair as the visual cue). (00:20:39)

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Character mistake: After Gambit escapes from Wolverine and Bishop, Bishop says to Wolverine "No wonder you sent me back to change the future, because everything that happens is your fault." Wolverine didn't send Bishop back to change the future. He insisted on going back himself, but Bishop forced Wolverine out of the mission and inserted himself into the role because he felt Wolverine was too old to succeed. (00:10:03)

X-Men mistake picture

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Factual error: The U.S. flag has 13 stripes. When Bishop is telling the X-Men how Gambit's betrayal will affect the future, the flag shown flying outside the Capitol building is missing two stripes. In the next shot showing the flag draped over the coffin, it has at least 17 stripes. (00:04:25)

X-Men mistake picture

The Final Decision - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: At the beginning of Senator Kelly's campaign speech, his campaign button is predominantly white with some blue at the top and bottom. When the shot changes, the majority of the button is now blue, with only a small portion in the center being white. (00:19:20)

More quotes from X-Men

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.

More trivia for X-Men

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.
