Reunion: Part 2 - S2-E13

Continuity mistake: When Gambit is watching Rogue being taken away, you can see the bars of their holding cell are only about a foot taller than Gambit. Later in the scene when Wolverine is attempting to free the X-Men from the cell, the bars now go all the way up to the ceiling. (00:14:13 - 00:14:48)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Kazar tackles Barbarus, Barbarus ends up lying on the ground between Kazar and Xavier and Magneto. When Xavier and Magneto begin running with Kazar, nothing about their stride indicates that they step over Barbarus, suggesting he is suddenly no longer in that spot. (00:08:50)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Beast is theorizing that Xavier was coerced into contacting them, Gambit is sitting upright. When the shot changes, Gambit is now slouched in his chair (note his head is higher than the headrest in the first shot). (00:20:05)

Reunion: Part 1 - S2-E12

Continuity mistake: When Morph is performing his one man show, he is standing in front of a red and yellow stained-glass window. After he drinks the potion, the background behind him is now dark blue draping. It then becomes the stained-glass window again after he transforms into Mr. Hyde. (00:05:35 - 00:06:00)

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.

Sentinel never sank into sand in other episodes.

Well, it's shown here.

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.
