Continuity mistake: After Magneto crashes through the roof of the U.N. building, the nameplates designating the nations of the delegates have suddenly become blank. (00:02:20)
Audio problem: Magneto's mouth is closed when he says "The mutant race will no longer be managed, mister delegate." (00:02:20)
Continuity mistake: When Magneto forces the Genoshan delegate to sit down, the chairs surrounding him are empty. A couple of shots later, the chairs are occupied. (00:02:35)
Plot hole: Some of the footage Magneto is showing the delegates at the U.N. meeting includes footage Magneto could not possibly have had access to even if such footage existed, such as the X-Men having mission briefings in the War Room, the Morlocks living in the sewers or Warren Worthington emerging from being buried under several feet of snow at his secluded home in the mountains. (00:03:10 - 00:04:05)
Continuity mistake: When Magneto is showing Asteroid M to the delegates at the U.N. meeting, the Genoshan delegate he forced to sit down has either moved to another seat entirely or the people that were sitting around him moved to different seats and other people filled in their seats. (00:04:05)
Audio problem: Fabian Cortez's mouth is closed when he says "Lord Magneto." (00:10:15)
Continuity mistake: When Gambit is trying to distract the Sentinels, both of his gloves are entirely fingerless whereas normally his gloves are only fingerless for the thumb, index and pinky fingers. (00:12:00)
Audio problem: When Xavier is saying "I fear Magneto may come to depend upon it like a drug," Beast is actually the one mouthing the line. (00:14:15)
Continuity mistake: A crowd of people has suddenly gathered in front of Magneto when Xavier says he wishes to speak with him. (00:14:20)
Continuity mistake: When Magneto first notices the missiles being fired at Asteroid M, he is dressed in loungewear and Xavier is wearing his usual green suit. When the shot changes Magneto is suddenly wearing his costume and Xavier is wearing a more casual outfit. Given how fast the missiles are shown to be approaching, they wouldn't have had time to change their clothes. (00:15:45)
Continuity mistake: The missiles that are fired at Asteroid M are first shown to be approaching from Earth. When the shot changes, they are coming from the opposite direction. When the shot changes again, they are once again approaching from Earth. (00:15:45)
Factual error: The Moon is more than 230,000 miles away from Earth, yet in a shot of Asteroid M just outside of Earth's orbit, the Moon is right there as well. (00:15:50)
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.
