Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is slashing at Callisto's staff, it is light purple.

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Storm and Callisto are about to engage in combat, they are using staves that look like lightsabers, with the hilts at the bottom. When they start striking at each other, both staves now resemble a double-edged lightsaber, with the hilt in the middle. (00:18:25)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Xavier is talking to Jean and Cyclops at the end, the three of them, along with Storm, are all to the left of the bed Gambit is lying on, with Storm being behind Xavier, over his right shoulder, and a piece of machinery behind her. When the shot changes, it is a closeup of Xavier, and neither Storm, nor the machinery are visible over Xavier's shoulder. When Jean and Cyclops leave the room, Xavier is now at the foot of Gambit's bed, several feet away from Storm. (00:20:08 - 00:20:32)

Enter Magneto - S1-E3

Continuity mistake: When Xavier is using Cerebro to look for Magneto, his blue and black tie turns yellow when Jubilee says "Professor?" When Storm says "Charles, are you all right?", it is back to being blue and black, and the blue stripes turn yellow before our eyes. (00:11:41)

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.

Phaneron

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.
