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

Continuity mistake: The edges of the chasm that Jubilee hangs from go from being uneven to straight-lined. (00:13:40)

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

Continuity mistake: When Storm breaks off communication with Beast, the animation suggests that she is removing the communicators from her chest, but they remain in place. A couple of shots later, they are completely gone. They then reappear and disappear throughout the rest of the episode. Note: this mistake may only apply to the version of the episode that appears on the DVD. In the version of the episode that appears on Disney+, Storm does indeed rip the communicators off her chest. (00:16:20)

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

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

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is calling out to Rogue and Storm, his claws are retracted into his arms. When the shot changes, his claws are extended. His hands also go from being cupped around his mouth to being instantly down at his sides. (00:19:15)

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 Storm is explaining her behavior to Rogue, the communication devices from her chest are missing, owing to her ripping them off a few scenes earlier. Moments later when Rogue is draping a blanket over Storm, the communication devices are suddenly back in place. (00:20:12)

Obsession - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When the X-Men are first shown in the War Room, Beast is sitting between Rogue and Gambit, with Rogue on his right. Moments later when he asks Cerebro to identify the mutant activity it detected, Gambit and Rogue have swapped places. (00:03:17)

Obsession - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Gambit is saying "Who knows, deep pockets," his gloves are the same color as his flesh. (00:03:25)

Obsession - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Rogue is about to fly after Archangel, the X logo on her chest is red with a yellow border, when in previous shots the border was black. (00:07:44)

Obsession - S3-E10

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)

Obsession - S3-E10

Continuity mistake: When Gambit intercepts Rogue with his mini-jet, she is on his left. When the shot changes, she is suddenly on his right. (00:11:08)

Mistakes

Slave Island - S1-E7

Plot hole: After Storm's attempt to escape the Genoshan prison is thwarted, she ends up in the ocean right at the shoreline of the beach, where she is captured by a Sentinel. Aside from the fact that it makes no sense for a Sentinel to be hiding in the ocean in the event that a mutant tries to escape the prison, there is absolutely no way that a two-story tall robot could hide in the ocean right by the beach, as the water would be way too shallow. You can even see that the water level only goes up to the Sentinel's ankle area when it is standing upright in the ocean. (00:03:15)

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: Perception. (1) The Sentinel isn't as close as it appears. If it were close, then she would have been caught in its waves as it emerges. Also, she would be looking only at its chest circle. It's several yards away. (2) She washes ashore. She fell from the sky. She couldn't have fallen from that great height into shallow water without hitting bottom. (3) It's also a two-story tall robot. Its weight would sink it into the sand. So it could have very well been down that deep.

Sentinel never sank into sand in other episodes.

Well, it's shown here.

Questions

Red Dawn - S2-E4

Question: Does anyone know what the Russian writing says on the wall behind Omega Red when he is standing at the podium and talking about the return of the Soviet Union? (00:15:08)

Chosen answer: It says MPO "First Exemplary Printing House" which is a real printing company in Russia founded by Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1889. There seems to be something about "named after..." as well.
