Sanctuary: Part 2 - S4-E7

Audio problem: When Fabian Cortez says "Mark my words X-Man. Before this day is done you will beg me to let you join us," his mouth movement is out of sync with the words "is done." (00:05:40)

Proteus: Part 2 - S4-E5

Audio problem: The amount of crowd noise during Joe McTaggert's speech is inconsistent with how many people are shown in attendance. The noise would suggest at least a couple hundred people, but shots of the crowd only show a few dozen. (00:08:25 - 00:10:20)

Proteus: Part 2 - S4-E5

Audio problem: When Joe McTaggert is saying "If the boy shows up, keep him out of sight until after the vote. If you don't, all of our work will be for nothing," he has suddenly lost his Scottish accent. (00:07:40)

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.
