Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Gambit is blasted through the sign advertising the car that can be won, there is a noticeable amount of spacing between the exclamation point and the end of the sign. When the Sentinel begins approaching Gambit, the exclamation point now goes nearly to the edge of the sign. (00:07:11)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Deliberate mistake: When the Sentinel is first walking through the mall, its footsteps are so heavy that it shakes the building. When it is shown walking past the shop Gambit is in, there is no shaking of the building, presumably done so Gambit wouldn't notice it. (00:04:08)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Jubilee is first shown in the arcade, the space between the rows of games is roughly six feet. When Jubilee runs out of the arcade, the corridor is suddenly much wider. (00:02:57 - 00:03:37)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When the arcade manager is confronting Jubilee after she accidentally destroyed the game she was playing, he is several feet away from her, with other patrons between them. When the shot changes, he is suddenly in her face. (00:03:27)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Jubilee is first seen eavesdropping on her foster parents, you can see the shelves of their entertainment unit are empty. Moments later when her foster mother is questioning if Jubilee is really a mutant, her husband shows her what Jubilee did to the VCR just by touching it, and you can see the bottom two shelves now have items on them. Additionally, the coffee table goes from having a blue top with a brown border within it, to being a solid brown top altogether. (00:01:39 - 00:02:17)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Jubilee's bedroom is first shown, the door is on the left side of the wall, she has a poster next to the door of what appears to be a chicken in a boxing outfit with gloves, a bookshelf next to that poster, a nightstand next to her bed and a poster of a girl playing drums on the wall behind the nightstand. After the Sentinel crashes through the window and pulls her bed out of the house, the nightstand and drummer poster have disappeared. When her foster mother comes into the room to see if everything is OK, the door is suddenly in the center of the wall, and the room itself, save for one poster on the wall that the head of the bed was on, is now completely empty. (00:01:54 - 00:02:51)

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Continuity mistake: When Jubilee is eavesdropping on her foster parents, her right hand is resting on and pointing in the same direction as the railing. When the shot changes, her hand is now nearly perpendicular to the railing. (00:01:39)

Family Ties - S4-E17
Other mistake: This series is in the same continuity as the other Marvel animated series that aired around the same time - Spider-Man, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and Fantastic Four - by virtue of each aforementioned show crossing over with at least one of the other shows. However, in Iron Man, Scarlet Witch has an Eastern European accent, and in this episode she has an American accent.

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.

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.

The Phoenix Saga (2): The Dark Shroud - S3-E4
Other mistake: After the shuttle crashes into the Upper New York Bay, the X-Men escape the wreckage and swim up to the surface, with Wolverine being the first one to appear. Given that Wolverine's skeleton is coated with a heavy metal, not only should he not be the first one to surface, he should actually sink instead. (00:04:06)

Trivia: In 2019, the creator of a 1980's Hungarian TV series called "Linda" filed a lawsuit against this show, alleging that the theme song to "X-Men" is a ripoff the theme song to "Linda." Despite airing in another country, the creator of "Linda" stated that the creators of "X-Men" had visited Hungary in the late 80's and rubbed shoulders with members of the Hungarian film industry. Interestingly, despite "X-Men" being far more popular globally than an obscure Hungarian TV show, its creator said he was unfamiliar with "X-Men" until 2017.
6th May 2019
Trivia: The character Morph was created for the show, though he was based on a character from the comics called Changeling. The creators of the show created the character with the sole purpose of killing him off, in order to establish stakes, though he was later brought back because of his popularity. Showrunner Eric Lewald stated that originally the character of Thunderbird was going to be used instead of Morph, but they then decided against killing off who would have been the only Native American character on the show.
6th May 2019
Trivia: At the end of the opening titles, there is a short bald man in a green outfit running with Magneto's crew. For years, fans had wondered who this character was, as he has no counterpart in the comics, and he only had a fleeting appearance in the season 1 episode "Slave Island." Series director Larry Houston finally revealed that the character is nobody in particular, and that he was mistakenly placed in the opening titles by the animation company AKOM.

Night of the Sentinels: Part 1 - S1-E1
Clerk: You must like to play cards.
Gambit: I like solitaire okay, 'less I got someone to play with.

Blob: It's Miss Marvel!
Ms. Marvel: That's "Ms. Marvel" to you, round boy.

Stupidity: One of Rogue's defining character traits is her inability to have physical contact with another person because of her powers and the sorrow it causes her. Several episodes of this show, however, featured devices that could suppress mutant powers, the inhibitor collars being the most prominent. Despite this technology at their disposal, they never even think to have Rogue wear an inhibitor device for times she would like to touch someone. Even if she didn't want to wear those specific collars, a character like Beast or Forge could easily create a new and harmless device by reverse engineering and adapting the existing ones. This of course would eliminate Rogue's ongoing dilemma and potentially curb her development as a character, but it doesn't make sense from the standpoint that she longs for physical contact with others.
5th May 2017
Other mistake: When Gambit is consoling Rogue just before she is taken to be tortured, he tells her that he loves her, and states that he has never said that to anyone before. But as we learned earlier in the season, Gambit was engaged in his youth to Bella Donna. Surely he told her he loved her at some point. Rogue is aware of this aspect of Gambit's past, so he would have nothing to gain by lying to her about it.

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.
