Continuity mistake: Cocteau's tombstone has gained a gold plate on the front of it by the end of the episode. (00:01:35 - 00:19:25)
Other mistake: When Wolverine is carving "HERO" into Cocteau's tombstone, he is shown to be using all three claws on his right hand to do so, but the carving looks like it was only carved with one sharp point. If he was using all three claws, each point of articulation for each letter should have been tripled. (00:19:05)
Continuity mistake: After Wolverine carves "HERO" onto Cocteau's tombstone, he has to walk several feet away from the tombstone to get to Justine. When the shot changes, both of them are only a couple steps away from the tombstone. (00:19:15)
Other mistake: When Justine is telling Wolverine about her father's accomplishments in the war, the cel shading is very fuzzy throughout the entire shot. (00:18:30)
Continuity mistake: Wolverine's gloves have suddenly disappeared after the robot is destroyed,. (00:15:05)
Continuity mistake: The Red Skull punches Captain America's shield with his left hand, but then shows pain in his right hand. (00:13:10)
Continuity mistake: When Red Skull is leaving Wolverine and Captain America alone, he sets Captain America's shield on a table and Wolverine is shown to be hanging from stocks by his wrists with Captain America on his left and the table on his right at roughly a 45 degree angle. In a wide shot after Red Skull has left the room, the shield has vanished from the table and Wolverine is now several feet from where he originally was, with Captain America roughly at his 12 o'clock and the table roughly at his 3 o'clock. (00:10:45)
Continuity mistake: When Captain America says "Red Skull, wait!", his sleeves are entirely blue whereas they should be white from the mid-bicep and down. (00:10:45)
Other mistake: The Red Skull reveals that Cocteau is the one who sounded the alarm on Wolverine and Captain America, but at the time the alarm starts going off, there are no switches on the walls for him to have pressed, not to mention he was shown to have been standing in the middle of the corridor out of arm's reach of either wall. (00:09:35 - 00:10:20)
Continuity mistake: When the Nazis begin to surround Wolverine and Captain America, a group of them are shown to be coming through a door and into a very large room, despite the fact that the scene is actually taking place inside a narrow corridor. (00:09:50)
Continuity mistake: When Wolverine causes Cocteau to faint, his glasses fall off. When the shot changes, the glasses are nowhere to be seen on the ground. (00:09:05)
Continuity mistake: When Wolverine and Captain America first find Cocteau, the white ring on Captain America's shield is colored black in a wide shot. (00:08:45)
Other mistake: When Wolverine and Captain America are scaling the cliff, their bodies glide up the cliff wall between arm and leg movements. (00:07:30)
Continuity mistake: When Wolverine and Captain America start running, they are standing very close to each other. When the shot changes, they are several feet apart. (00:06:50)
Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is saying "You cheated me, old man!", the lower half of his trench coat briefly changes color. (00:01:40)
Other mistake: The non-English wording on Cocteau's tombstone at the beginning of the episode is gibberish. It says "Pace et Rfouisat." When it is shown again at the end of the episode, it reads "Page et Resquiat." It appears that they were attempting to say "Rest in Peace," but they got their French and Latin confused. The proper French translation would be "Repose en Paix" and the proper Latin translation would be "Requiescat in Pace." (00:01:35)
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.
