A couple of shots later, they are completely gone. They then reappear and disappear throughout the rest of the episode.

Savage Land, Strange Heart (2) - S3-E9

Savage Land, Strange Heart (2) - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: The rubble that Storm is buried under magically removes itself from her. Rogue could not have been the one to unbury her because the rubble falls at the same moment Rogue arrives on screen, and Storm could not have done it herself because she was unconscious. (00:19:20)

Savage Land, Strange Heart (2) - S3-E9

Continuity mistake: When Beast asks Wolverine to stand on the platform, Wolverine's claws are sheathed. When the shot changes, his claws are extended. (00:09:44)

Obsession - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Apocalypse knocks Archangel into the ferris wheel, it is directly next to the water. However, the establishing shot of the pier showed the ferris wheel to be situated on the boardwalk, several yards away from the water. (00:10:37 - 00:11:33)

Obsession - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Archangel is flying over the pier, the ferris wheel is idle. When the shot changes, it is suddenly moving. (00:10:37)

Mistakes

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.

Trivia

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.

Questions

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.
