Continuity mistake: When Gambit is looking at himself in the mirror while wearing a tuxedo, you can see in his reflection that he is barehanded. In the next shot when he removes the tuxedo, he is wearing his usual black gloves. Also, the rose on the tuxedo goes from being on his right side (reflection's left) to being on his left side just before he removes the tuxedo. (00:13:15)
Continuity mistake: In the first establishing shot of the Assassins Guild's mansion, there is a stairway leading up to the front door. In the establishing shot of the mansion in the scene where Gambit is in Bella Donna's bedroom, the stairway is missing, and consequently the mansion's porch area isn't as high off the ground. (00:09:20 - 00:13:20)
Other mistake: When Wolverine is threatening Pierre, there is a continuous shot lasting roughly 8 seconds in which Bobby is telling Rogue about Bella Donna, all the while Wolverine and Pierre remain in the foreground, and neither of them so much as moves a muscle in that 8-second span. Rogue also remains motionless for a majority of the shot. (00:13:35)
Continuity mistake: The cell that Bobby was held captive in is noticeably smaller after he is set free. (00:09:55 - 00:11:40)

Continuity mistake: After Jean Grey, Rogue and Wolverine locate Gambit's mini-jet, they land the Blackbird behind a row of plants. When they emerge from the Blackbird, the plants have disappeared. (00:08:55)
Continuity mistake: When the chosen one for the Thieves Guild tries to present their tithe to the External, he is shown walking right up to the tree stump where he was to have placed the tithe. When the shot changes, he is still walking forward, and therefore should've bumped into the stump. He is saying a line of dialogue as he is walking forward, so it can't be considered an action shown from a different angle. (00:06:15)
Continuity mistake: When the chosen one for the Thieves Guild is called forward to present their tithe, the chosen one for the Assassins Guild can still be seen kneeling before the External. In the next shot when the chosen one for the Thieves is shown arriving on the scene, the chosen one for the Assassins is suddenly back to standing among the other members of his guild. In the next shot, the chosen one for the Assassins is back to kneeling before the External. (00:06:00)
Other mistake: When Gambit is wiping sweat off his forehead, the locks of hair that he is rubbing his fist against do not move. (00:05:20)
Continuity mistake: During Gambit's flashback, the chosen one for the Assassin's Guild is shown to be placing their tithe box on the stump of a tree roughly halfway between the center ring and the outer edge. When the shot changes, the tithe box has suddenly moved to the center of the stump, and the tithe box itself is suddenly wider and shorter and has rotated 90°. (00:05:00)
Continuity mistake: The position of Cyclops' body changes when Jean Grey is cradling his head. At first, he is sitting slightly upright. When the shot changes, he is lying down. (00:04:40)
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.
