Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Other mistake: When Magneto is asking how the Savage Land mutates were able to infiltrate his citadel, Amphibious tells him it's because Mr. Sinister long ago found his secret passage. The room they are in leads to a balcony, and has no door sealing off the balcony. In a world of superpowered beings, some of whom can fly, it wouldn't take much effort to get into a building that isn't closed off. Finding a secret passage from the ground level would be unnecessary. (00:15:00)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When the Nasty Boys are walking Morph towards the wall to chain him up, the wall ends and leads outside on the left, and Xavier and Magneto are chained up only a few feet away on the right. A few shots later, the wall now appears to go on continuously, and Magneto and Xavier are considerably further away from Morph. (00:17:35)

Continuity mistake: When Beast is theorizing that Xavier was coerced into contacting them, Gambit is sitting upright. When the shot changes, Gambit is now slouched in his chair (note his head is higher than the headrest in the first shot). (00:20:05)

Reunion: Part 2 - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When Gambit is watching Rogue being taken away, you can see the bars of their holding cell are only about a foot taller than Gambit. Later in the scene when Wolverine is attempting to free the X-Men from the cell, the bars now go all the way up to the ceiling. (00:14:13 - 00:14:48)

Continuity mistake: After Ruckus prevents Kazar and his people from entering the citadel, Brainchild pulls a lever next to the door to seal them out. The lever in question wasn't there when Kazar and his people were first shown outside the door. (00:15:44)

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.

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.

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.
