X-Men

Family Ties - S4-E17

Other mistake: When Scarlet Witch falls from the cliff, she lands on a hover craft and kicks its pilot off. The pilot is then immediately show falling into a pond. It then takes Scarlet Witch several seconds to save Quicksilver who was free-falling from the same cliff. Given how fast the hover craft pilot fell to the ground, Quicksilver also would have fallen to the ground before Scarlet Witch could have caught him. (00:16:50)

Secrets, Not Long Buried - S4-E15

Other mistake: When the group of mutants are listening to Solarr's speech, in one continuous shot of ten of them that lasts at least four seconds, they are all standing completely still, not one of them moving a muscle, blinking or making the slightest adjustment in their facial expressions. (00:17:00)

Love in Vain - S4-E14

Other mistake: After Rogue absorbs Wolverine's healing powers and purges the transformation spores from her system, she reverts back into human form including losing the tail that she grew. Given that the tail protruded from her backside, there should have been a hole in the back of her pants afterwards, yet there is none. (00:16:40)

Beyond Good and Evil: Part 4 - S4-E11

Other mistake: During the montage of people being erased from time, the exterior shot of the X-Mansion shows part of the mansion destroyed. The mansion is later shown to be destroyed by Graymalkin after the heroes defeat Apocalypse, but at this point in the episode there's no reason for the damage. (00:12:20)

Sanctuary: Part 2 - S4-E7

Other mistake: When Cortez is using the remote control for the power inhibitor collar to fend off Gambit and cause him pain, you can see that Cortez is actually pushing the "Mutant Power On" button and not the "Pain" button that's just above it. (00:16:25)

Proteus: Part 2 - S4-E5

Other mistake: When the two civilians are walking past Joe McTaggert's campaign posters, they are shown to be walking unusually fast, almost as if the ground beneath them is moving them forward between strides (similar to as if you were walking on a moving sidewalk inside an airport). (00:03:00)

One Man's Worth: Part 1 - S4-E1

Other mistake: Shard shows Storm and Wolverine surveillance footage of Trevor Fitzroy's deal with Master Mold, stating it was all they could get of their plan before the camera was discovered. However, the footage shows multiple camera angles that a lone mounted surveillance camera could not achieve. (00:11:30 - 00:12:35)

The Juggernaut Returns - S3-E17

Other mistake: During the "Previously on X-Men..." segment before the show's intro, it shows the Juggernaut landing in the ocean and walking across the ocean floor after Gladiator had hurled him away. However, Juggernaut's fate was never actually shown after Gladiator threw him. He was only seen fading off into the distance. (00:00:50)

Orphan's End - S3-E16

Other mistake: When Corsair is running towards the Starjammers and Storm at the top of the Mayan structure, Lilandra can be seen among the group despite the fact that she was not in the episode before or after this moment. This was most likely supposed to instead be Jandra, the Shi'ar child that the Starjammers were trying to protect. (00:18:50)

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.
