Whatever It Takes - S2-E3

Plot hole: After Magneto and Xavier discover that their powers have vanished, Mr. Sinister is shown to be watching them through surveillance footage, zeroed in on their faces from a straight angle. At this point, Magneto and Xavier are standing at the edge of a cliff in the Savage Land, which is a jungle hidden in Antarctica. There's no conceivable way Mr. Sinister could have security footage of them from where they are located. Any camera would have to be mounted onto a tree, and the cliff is at a considerably higher elevation than the jungle itself, as well as a considerable distance away. Even if Mr. Sinister was able to zoom in on them from such a distance, the treeline being lower than the cliff would only allow him to view them from a low angle, and that's only if the cliff wall didn't obscure them.

Whatever It Takes - S2-E3

Continuity mistake: The boomerang that Xavier uses to throw at the jungle warrior astride the pterodactyl appears from nowhere. While it probably belonged to the warrior himself, neither he nor the other warrior with him were shown to have dropped it when they swooped by and captured Magneto and knocked Xavier down.

Audio problem: When Magneto is saying "Strange. What would restore your...," his mouth remains wide open and unmoved after saying "restore," which would make it impossible to then say "your." (00:19:45)
