Fire Made Flesh - S1-E3

Character mistake: When Cyclops is expressing his opposition to sending his infant son into the future to cure his virus, he states he won't be like his own father and abandon his son. The problem is Cyclops' father didn't abandon him, but rather saved his life. Their family airplane was being attacked, and they were about to be abducted by the Shi'ar. Cyclops' father strapped a parachute to him and got him out of the plane before it crashed. Cyclops learned and made peace with all of this in the original series episode "Orphan's End." (00:25:04)

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)

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.

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.
