Bright Eyes - S1-E7

Other mistake: SPOILER: Gambit's funeral is taking place in his hometown of New Orleans, as evidenced by the coffins being above ground (because New Orleans is at or below sea level). However, Gambit's coffin is oddly lowered into the ground.

Remember It - S1-E5

Trivia: In this episode we learn that Cyclops has been having a psychic affair with Madelyne Pryor, and Emma Frost, a.k.a the White Queen, was eavesdropping on one of their sessions. In the comics, it's actually Emma Frost that Cyclops began having the psychic affair with.

Bright Eyes - S1-E7

Trivia: Trask refers to Mr. Sinister's Sentinel attack on Genosha as a "mutant massacre." In the comics, there is a storyline called "Mutant Massacre," which saw Sinister tasking a group of mutants called the Marauders to kill the Morlocks. Years later, it was revealed that Gambit was hired to help sneak the Marauders into the Morlock tunnels, making him culpable in the act. This is contrary to Gambit helping to save some Morlocks from the Sentinel attack in this show.

To Me, My X-Men - S1-E1

Deliberate mistake: When the news program is discussing Gyrich's assassination attempt on Xavier from the series finale of the original animated series, he's shown to have his classic look of auburn hair and sunglasses. However, when this scene occurred, Gyrich had black hair and was not wearing sunglasses. This was done deliberately to match the character design of the original series prior to the final 6 episodes, when Saban took over and redesigned much of the show's look.

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.
