Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is slashing at Callisto's staff, it is light purple. When he completely shreds a center portion of it, that portion is blue, and when the shot changes, the rest of the staff is red. Additionally, the center section of the staff has reduced in length after Wolverine shreds it. (00:14:35 - 00:15:03)

Continuity mistake: When Storm and Callisto are about to engage in combat, they are using staves that look like lightsabers, with the hilts at the bottom. When they start striking at each other, both staves now resemble a double-edged lightsaber, with the hilt in the middle. (00:18:25)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Xavier is talking to Jean and Cyclops at the end, the three of them, along with Storm, are all to the left of the bed Gambit is lying on, with Storm being behind Xavier, over his right shoulder, and a piece of machinery behind her. When the shot changes, it is a closeup of Xavier, and neither Storm, nor the machinery are visible over Xavier's shoulder. When Jean and Cyclops leave the room, Xavier is now at the foot of Gambit's bed, several feet away from Storm. (00:20:08 - 00:20:32)

The Cure - S1-E9

Other mistake: When Rogue is hovering above Muir Island, she pulls out a book to confirm she's in the right place, and the picture of Muir Island in her book shows it to have three smaller islands on its south side. When she lowers the book to look at the actual island, only the large island shown on the southwest side in the book is there. She's only hovering a few hundred feet above the island, so even though the other two islands were small, they should still be visible. (00:09:48)

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.
