X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

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)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

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)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

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)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The amount of damage to Cyclops' uniform decreases. When his Danger Room session is first terminated, his uniform is mostly missing around his shoulders and chest. A few shots later, the aforementioned area of his uniform is not as torn up. (00:04:15 - 00:04:50)

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: The size of the hole beneath the trap door in the Thieves Guild's mansion changes. When Wolverine, Rogue and Jean Grey are shown falling down it, it is easily large enough for the three of them to fall down without bumping into each other. When we see the hole in the ceiling after Rogue destroys the wall that was falling on her, the hole is barely large enough for one person to fit through. The hole also moves closer to the back corner of the room, whereas it appeared to be closer to the back-center of the room once they landed.

Continuity mistake: The orientation of Gambit's mini-jet respective to the Blackbird changes. When the Blackbird first lands, the mini-jet is perpendicular to it. When Wolverine, Rogue and Jean Grey go over to inspect the mini-jet, it is suddenly parallel to the Blackbird.

X-Ternally Yours - S2-E6

Continuity mistake: Shortly after Wolverine, Rogue and Jean Grey enter the Thieves Guild's mansion, they fall down a trap door. However, the trap door is not there when they first enter the mansion, instead only appearing in the shot where they step on it.

Reunion: Part 2 - S2-E13

A Rogue's Tale - S2-E9

Continuity mistake: When Rogue is crashing through several levels of the mansion, the last one she crashes through is Storm's greenhouse and you can see through the windows that it is light outside. When she crashes through the ceiling of the mansion a split second later, it is suddenly dark outside. (00:08:15)

Time Fugitives: Part 1 - S2-E7

Continuity mistake: After Storm informs Cyclops that a mob is attacking Bishop, a shot of the rest of the team in the Blackbird shows that Gambit's neck is flesh colored when it is supposed to be black from wearing his headgear (this is corrected when the scene is reprised in the next episode). (00:11:25)

Red Dawn - S2-E4

Continuity mistake: In the shot of Wolverine and Colossus just before the Blackbird arrives, Wolverine's legs are flesh colored making it look like he is wearing a speedo. His legs should have been colored yellow here since he was wearing his pants. (00:14:25)

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.

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.
