The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6

Plot hole: Rogue is able to punch Gladiator and knock him off his feet, yet in the previous episode when the Juggernaut punched Gladiator he didn't even budge. The Juggernaut is a lot stronger than Rogue, so either Juggernaut's punch should have affected Gladiator or Rogue's punch should not have. (00:17:55)

The Phoenix Saga (4): The Starjammers - S3-E6

Plot hole: Corsair takes out the X-Men by having Raza calibrating their stun weapon to humans. Since Corsair is also a human, the blast renders him unconscious along with the X-Men, and the Starjammers take him away. When Wolverine and Phoenix regain consciousness, they realize that Cyclops has been taken by the Starjammers as well. The problem is since Corsair was unconscious, he couldn't have possibly ordered the Starjammers to take Cyclops with them, and the Starjammers had no reason to take Cyclops of their own volition. Raza even acknowledges that Corsair is the one that takes Cyclops. (00:08:15 - 00:09:00)

Other mistake: When the X-Men and Corsair encounter D'Ken in the hallway, D'Ken, Gladiator and Lilandra remain in the background while the X-Men and Corsair are wiped from the screen. It's as if this was meant to be a zoom in on D'Ken, Gladiator and Lilandra, but their size relative to the camera remained the same and the X-Men and Corsair are simply removed from view. (00:19:35)

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.
