The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6

Other mistake: When the X-Men and Corsair encounter D'Ken in the hallway, D'Ken, Gladiator and Lilandra remain in the background while the X-Men and Corsair are wiped from the screen. It's as if this was meant to be a zoom in on D'Ken, Gladiator and Lilandra, but their size relative to the camera remained the same and the X-Men and Corsair are simply removed from view. (00:19:35)

The Phoenix Saga (3): Cry of the Banshee - S3-E5

Revealing mistake: When Professor X is telling Juggernaut that he is in his mind, if you look closely you can see there is a disembodied mouth on the right side of Professor X's face that is synchronized with his dialogue. Apparently an animation error. Note: this error may only apply to the DVD version of the episode, as it does not occur on the version of the episode that appears on Disney+. (00:04:00)

Out of the Past (2) - S3-E2

Continuity mistake: Beast is present when Gambit destroys the Spirit Drinker. When Professor X arrives moments later, Beast is shown to be approaching the scene with him and then notes that the Spirit Drinker seems to be missing. (00:18:45 - 00:19:25)

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is trying to get to Professor Oyama, he slashes twice at the door leaving six claw marks. When the door is shown again after Wolverine is reacting to the explosion, there are suddenly several more claw marks without him ever slashing at the door again. (00:11:40)

Out of the Past (1) - S3-E1

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)

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.
