Descent - S5-E12

Factual error: When Dr. Xavier is sailing by the Statue of Liberty, the statue's left arm is shown to be resting against its chest. In reality, the statue's left arm is slightly raised at its side and bent at the elbow. (00:18:00)

Descent - S5-E12

Other mistake: Thomas Flannery's wet footprints only begin at the top of the steps leading into the church. They should have been visible on the steps below as well. (00:14:55)

Old Soldiers - S5-E11

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.

Storm Front: Part 2 - S5-E8

Continuity mistake: When Arkon states that Storm is the conqueror of his heart, he is holding up a goblet with his left hand and extending his right hand towards her. Not only is the bracelet on his right hand gold when it should be silver (the bracelet on his left hand remains silver in this shot), but his right hand looks rather effeminate. Arkon and Storm were sitting right next to each other and no one was shown to be standing between them in any other shot, so the right hand in question couldn't have belonged to another person.

Bloodlines - S5-E6

Continuity mistake: When Rogue is talking to Wolverine through her watch communicator, in the closeup shots the watch is shown to be around her glove, on her wrist. In the wide shot, the watch is either around her sleeve just beneath her glove or it has disappeared entirely. (00:09:00)

Longshot - S5-E5

Continuity mistake: When Longshot is saying goodbye to Jubilee, in one shot the sleeves of Rogue's uniform are missing and in the next shot Jubilee's pink shirt turns yellow and Rogue is back to having sleeves. (00:18:55)

Days of Future Past: Part 1 - S1-E11

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know why Gambit was featured less and less in episodes as the show went on? He was one of the most popular characters in not just X-Men, but all of Marvel Comics around the time this series first aired, so unless it had something to do with his voice actor's contract, it seems odd they wouldn't have utilized him more.

Phaneron

Answer: Chris Potter, the original Gambit voice actor, did indeed quit the role in the 4th season. His last episode was The Phalanx Covenant Part 1 so it seems reasonable that Fox would limit the use of the character even though it was recast. It doesn't appear that Potter left the role due to animosity, he stated in an interview that he wished to play Gambit in the first live action X-Men film.
