Storm Front: Part 2 - S5-E8

Audio problem: The sound of the slave shrieking in terror is recycled from previous episodes where Morph would make the same sound (for example the season 4 episode "Courage" and any of the five episodes he appeared in during season 2). (00:02:30)

Hidden Agenda - S5-E13

Audio problem: When Mr. Guthrie is saying "I worked with you inside the mines and shopped in your stores," his mouth is completely out of sync with the dialogue, sometimes not even moving at all. (00:14:45)

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.
