Savage Land, Strange Heart (1) - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: When Beast contacts Rogue on her wrist communicator, you can see she is wearing the usual yellow gloves, green sleeves and brown jacket of her uniform. When the shot changes, she is wearing the long-sleeve blue shirt without gloves that she was wearing earlier in the episode. (00:07:40)

Savage Land, Strange Heart (1) - S3-E8

Continuity mistake: At the very beginning of the episode, Sauron can be seen wearing the necklace of Garokk. Not only is he not wearing the necklace a few shots later, but he isn't even supposed to have the necklace until a few minutes later in the episode when Zaladane gives it to him after he reverts to his human form. (00:01:05 - 00:04:10)

Continuity mistake: The three tear marks in Wolverine's uniform from when Lady Deathstrike slashes him change position several times. When she first slashes him, the tear marks appear on his chest. Other shots show the tears to be closer to his abdomen. (00:13:50 - 00:16:00)

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.
