Bright Eyes - S1-E7

Other mistake: SPOILER: Gambit's funeral is taking place in his hometown of New Orleans, as evidenced by the coffins being above ground (because New Orleans is at or below sea level). However, Gambit's coffin is oddly lowered into the ground.

The Interview (2014)

Trivia: Originally intended for theatrical release, this film ultimately had to be released through streaming after the North Korean government threatened to retaliate against the United States. A cyber crimes group allegedly tied to North Korea also hacked Sony's emails and made threats against theaters that had planned to show the film.

Remember It - S1-E5

Trivia: In this episode we learn that Cyclops has been having a psychic affair with Madelyne Pryor, and Emma Frost, a.k.a the White Queen, was eavesdropping on one of their sessions. In the comics, it's actually Emma Frost that Cyclops began having the psychic affair with.

Bright Eyes - S1-E7

Trivia: Trask refers to Mr. Sinister's Sentinel attack on Genosha as a "mutant massacre." In the comics, there is a storyline called "Mutant Massacre," which saw Sinister tasking a group of mutants called the Marauders to kill the Morlocks. Years later, it was revealed that Gambit was hired to help sneak the Marauders into the Morlock tunnels, making him culpable in the act. This is contrary to Gambit helping to save some Morlocks from the Sentinel attack in this show.

To Me, My X-Men - S1-E1

Deliberate mistake: When the news program is discussing Gyrich's assassination attempt on Xavier from the series finale of the original animated series, he's shown to have his classic look of auburn hair and sunglasses. However, when this scene occurred, Gyrich had black hair and was not wearing sunglasses. This was done deliberately to match the character design of the original series prior to the final 6 episodes, when Saban took over and redesigned much of the show's look.

X-Men (1992)

Time Fugitives: Part 2 - S2-E8

Trivia: SPOILER FOR X-MEN '97: When Jean Grey scans Cable's mind, she sees an image of Cyclops, and seemingly herself as well, with her hair down (as opposed to her usually having it in a ponytail). Following the revelation in X-Men '97 that the Jean Grey seen in the first few episodes was actually a clone, producer Larry Houston revealed that he deliberately drew the Jean seen in Cable's mind to have her hair down, to suggest it was actually the clone who is Cable's real mother.

The First Omen (2024)

Question: In The Omen, it is stated that Damien's father is Satan and his mother was a jackal. However, in this film, it is shown that his mother is Maragaret Daino and she was impregnated by some demon-jackal hybrid. Am I missing something, or is this an inconsistency?

Phaneron

Answer: You're not missing anything. The original film was almost 50 years ago. The modern-day filmmakers just changed plot details to suit the prequel story and create the character and backstory of Damien's birth mother. This is not unusual for a film franchise or relaunch. It's different directors, writers, and producers who have a different vision or change things to fit a different time.
