10 revealing mistakes in season 5 - chronological order

The Phalanx Covenant: Part 1 - S5-E1

Revealing mistake: The shot of police cars surrounding Sabretooth and him throwing one of them into the air is a recycled shot of the very first shot in the series from the season 1 episode "Night of the Sentinels, Part 1." It's even revealed a few minutes later in the episode that this isn't actually Sabretooth, but a Phalanx facsimile that has taken his form, which makes the fact that Sabretooth's actions are being recycled all the more dubious.

Storm Front: Part 1 - S5-E7

Revealing mistake: In the opening shot of the Washington Monument, the monument is very noticeably shaking left and right as the camera pans up (likely indicating that the monument and the background are a composite image). (00:01:00)

Trivia: Following Disney's acquisition of Fox, the creators of this show pitched a revival to stream on Disney+. Producer Larry Houston has said he would come out of retirement specifically to work on this. The revival - titled X-Men '97 - was announced on Disney+ Day in November of 2021 for a 2024 premiere date, with much of the surviving original cast returning.

Chosen answer: It says MPO "First Exemplary Printing House" which is a real printing company in Russia founded by Ivan Dmitrievich Sytin in 1889. There seems to be something about "named after..." as well.
