X-Men '97

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 1 - S1-E8

Other mistake: After Xavier crash-lands at the destroyed mansion, he mentally calls out to the X-Men, and we see images of different team members being alerted to his call. The first of whom is Beast, who is shirtless and wearing glasses. However, only moments before Xavier crash-landed, Beast was shown lying on the ground unconscious from the Sentinel attack, wearing a lab coat and not wearing glasses. (00:28:33 - 00:29:20)

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 2 - S1-E9

Other mistake: At the end of the previous episode, Magneto unleashed a global EMP that deactivated all of Bastion's human-Sentinel hybrids and froze them in place. At the beginning of this episode, the man in the mob wearing the letterman's jacket who is chasing Jubilee and Roberto is one of the hybrids that captured the two at Roberto's parents' fundraiser. Given that the EMP neutralized all of the hybrids, this man should not have been running around with a mob. (00:03:08)

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 2 - S1-E9

Trivia: When Cable scoffs at the uniform Cyclops gives him to wear, Cyclops asks if he was expecting black leather. This is a reference to the first X-Men film, when Wolverine scoffed at the X-Men's black leather uniforms, only for Cyclops to ask him if he preferred yellow spandex instead.

Trivia: Ahead of its premiere, it was announced that Morph, who was created for the original animated series, would be non-binary. This led to backlash from some fans, claiming that the show was going "woke." Eric and Julia Lewald, who created the original series, pushed back against these fans, asking if they had learned nothing from the show and the comics that inspired it, as it was always an allegory for civil rights and highlighted people who were different from the norm and dealt with bigotry.

Season 1 generally

Trivia: Some episode intros feature a shot of Gambit cradling Rogue on the basketball court, and she proceeds to cover his mouth with her hand and then kiss her hand. This is recreated from a panel in X-Men #4, though in that panel, Rogue punched Gambit in the mouth instead of giving him a simulated kiss.

Answer: The post-credits scene from season 1 implies that Apocalypse is going to bring him back to life as his Horseman of Death, which Gambit was at one point in the comics. I also read that former showrunner Beau DeMayo had planned for Gambit to be the central character of season 3, which would have been an adaptation of the Age of Apocalypse storyline from the comics, which seems to imply Gambit will eventually be freed from Apocalypse's control. Whether that is what ends up happening remains to be seen, since DeMayo was fired by Marvel before season 1 premiered.
