Continuity mistake: When Juggernaut is telling Jubilee that she's getting too big for her britches, she is standing on the right side of the roof. A couple of shots later when Juggernaut is tearing the building out of its foundation, she is now on the opposite side of the roof. (00:14:57)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine is slashing at Callisto's staff, it is light purple. When he completely shreds a center portion of it, that portion is blue, and when the shot changes, the rest of the staff is red. Additionally, the center section of the staff has reduced in length after Wolverine shreds it. (00:14:35 - 00:15:03)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Wolverine punches his lefthand claws into the wall, it is at bottom of a slab of concrete, and to the left of where four slabs intersect. When the shot changes, the puncture is now closer to the middle-right area of a slab. (00:13:16)

Captive Hearts - S1-E5

Continuity mistake: When Leech telekinetically splits up the mob, on his left are a man with a light blue shirt, followed by a man with an orange shirt, and man with a light blue shirt behind him. On his right are a man with a green jacket and yellow shirt, a man with an orange jacket and pink shirt behind him, and lastly, a man with a blue jacket and yellow shirt. When the shot changes, the men have not only swapped sides, but now it is two men in light blue shirts in front of the man in the orange shirt, and the man with the orange jacket and pink shirt is now just wearing an orange shirt, and he is standing in front of the man with the green jacket and yellow shirt, and the man with the blue jacket and yellow shirt is in front of him.

Slave Island - S1-E7

Plot hole: After Storm's attempt to escape the Genoshan prison is thwarted, she ends up in the ocean right at the shoreline of the beach, where she is captured by a Sentinel. Aside from the fact that it makes no sense for a Sentinel to be hiding in the ocean in the event that a mutant tries to escape the prison, there is absolutely no way that a two-story tall robot could hide in the ocean right by the beach, as the water would be way too shallow. You can even see that the water level only goes up to the Sentinel's ankle area when it is standing upright in the ocean. (00:03:15)

Suggested correction: Perception. (1) The Sentinel isn't as close as it appears. If it were close, then she would have been caught in its waves as it emerges. Also, she would be looking only at its chest circle. It's several yards away. (2) She washes ashore. She fell from the sky. She couldn't have fallen from that great height into shallow water without hitting bottom. (3) It's also a two-story tall robot. Its weight would sink it into the sand. So it could have very well been down that deep.

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.
