Continuity mistake: When the Friends of Humanity are getting in the car to escape from the fight, the backseat area of the car is shown to have window louvers that are the same red color as the car's body. When the shot changes and shows the car from the interior, the windows are plain glass. (00:12:09)

'Til Death Do Us Part: Part 1 - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Morph, disguised as Wolverine, bumps into Rogue, she is holding a steaming mug of coffee. When she tells him she is going to the rec room to take a nap, she is holding the mug sideways, with no steam coming from it. The camera was on her face for most of this sequence, so she couldn't have finished drinking it, and there is no spilled coffee on the floor, so the mug should still be steaming. (00:14:09)

'Til Death Do Us Part: Part 1 - S2-E1

Continuity mistake: When Rogue takes the unconscious Gambit into the War Room, she sets him down on the center table and stands at the edge of it. When she is showing Storm that she absorbed his powers, she reaches over to grab a coffee mug. There were no coffee mugs on the table when Rogue set him down, and they would be out of reach if they were located on another table. (00:16:57)

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.

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.
