The Final Decision - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: When Cyclops is running through the mine to search for Wolverine and Gambit, he uses his visor to track their location. When the shot changes to a first person view through Cyclops' visor, the background is merely moving up and down. If he was running as the previous shot had shown, the objects in the background from his point of view would become larger as he got closer to them. (00:16:50)

The Final Decision - S1-E13

The Final Decision - S1-E13

Continuity mistake: Magneto reveals to Senator Kelly that he went to Washington, DC to personally witness his assassination. The flashback to the previous episode reveals that Magneto was watching Mystique (masquerading as Gambit) attempt to assassinate Kelly and the real Gambit's intervention through a window. Magneto can be seen as plain as day watching in the window in the flashback, yet in the actual episode, Magneto is never there. The design of the window is also different, as well as the color of the curtains. The room itself also appears to be smaller in the flashback.

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: When Professor X, Cyclops and Jean Grey enter the room where Senator Kelly was abducted, Cyclops goes over to inspect the hole in the wall and Professor X states that his watch has stopped working. Cyclops, still on the other side of the room, asks why that's important. When Professor X drops his watch and it clings to his hover-chair to demonstrate that it's been magnetized, Cyclops is suddenly behind Professor X. (00:20:30)

Days of Future Past: Part 2 - S1-E12

Continuity mistake: The final scene from the previous episode is reprised in the beginning of this episode, yet some of the dialogue is different or omitted altogether. In Part 1, when Storm says "We all have dark sides to our souls," Wolverine responds by telling her to speak for herself and states he's more suspicious of Bishop than anybody. Also, when Rogue walks in and asks who Bishop is, before anyone can tell her, Gambit announces his arrival. When Bishop accuses Gambit of being the traitor, Gambit tells him he thinks there's been a mistake. In this episode, Wolverine never states that he is suspicious of Bishop, Professor X tells Rogue who Bishop is before Gambit walks in, and when Bishop accuses Gambit of being the traitor, he fires his gun at him before Gambit can even say anything.

The Cure - S1-E9

Continuity mistake: When Gambit and Wolverine are about to fight each other, Wolverine's claws are extended, and Gambit has a kinetically charged playing card raised in his right hand. When Rogue intervenes, Wolverine's claws are suddenly retracted, his hands are incorrectly colored white, and Gambit's right arm is down at his side, not holding any card. A couple of shots later, Wolverine's claws are once again extended. (00:07:15)

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Plot hole: In the season one episode The Cure, when Pyro and Avalanche are in the bar on Muir Island waiting for Mystique to arrive, Avalanche says "This friend of yours better show up soon or I'm going back to jail, just for something to do!" Rogue then comes in and Pyro suggests to Avalanche that Rogue could be Mystique, to which Avalanche responds "What do you mean it could be? Don't you know what she looks like?", leading Pyro to tell Avalanche that Mystique is a shape-shifter. This dialogue implies that Avalanche has no idea who Mystique is, which is further substantiated when Pyro and Avalanche kidnap Mystique later in the episode while she is in the guise of Dr. Adler, and Avalanche didn't recognize Mystique when she revealed her true form. However in this episode it is shown that Pyro and Avalanche were both previously members of Mystique's Brotherhood of Mutants, so Avalanche should already know who Mystique is without Pyro having to tell him. Rogue was also a member of that group yet neither Pyro nor Avalanche recognize her.

Answer: It appears a number of factors led to its demise. It was originally intended to air for 65 episodes, but its popularity extended that. However, there were continual production quality problems, issues regarding whether the content was suitable enough for children, as well as financial considerations that finally led to it being ended.
