Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12
Plot hole: When Gambit charges an object with kinetic energy, it makes a high-pitched sound. When he places a charged card on the arcade game to use as a trap, Wolverine should have heard it, as he possesses a superhuman sense of hearing, especially since Gambit muted the TV. (00:09:28)

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Rogue punches the Blob, her arm is shown to be sinking into the middle of his chest. When the shot changes, her arm is suddenly in his stomach. (00:12:25)
Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12
Continuity mistake: When Mystique first enters the room where she plans to murder Senator Kelly, there are two bookshelves on the left, with the one closest to the camera being shorter than the one next to it.

Continuity mistake: When Mystique starts walking away from Rogue, her footsteps are audible, and she takes about four steps.

When the shot changes again, Mystique is suddenly only a couple steps away from Rogue. (00:18:58)
Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
