Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 2 - S1-E9

Trivia: When Rogue is joining Magneto, she hyperbolically mentions Morph being a member of the X-Men for 30 minutes before being killed. This is a reference to Morph being killed (though, later brought back) just a few minutes into the second episode of the original series, which would have been around 30 minutes of total runtime.

Trivia: Bastion's mother actually appeared in the original animated series. She was the diner waitress from the "One Man's Worth" two-parter.

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 2 - S1-E9

Trivia: This episode sees the X-Men splitting into two strike forces, the Blue and Gold Teams, with the Blue Team traveling to Asteroid M to confront Magneto, and the Gold Team traveling to the Galapagos Islands to stop Bastion. This is loosely adapted from X-Men Vol. 2 #1, in which the Blue and Gold Teams were first established at Cyclops' proposal, with the Blue Team similarly traveling to Asteroid M to deal with Magneto.

Tolerance Is Extinction - Pt 2 - S1-E9

Trivia: When Cable scoffs at the uniform Cyclops gives him to wear, Cyclops asks if he was expecting black leather. This is a reference to the first X-Men film, when Wolverine scoffed at the X-Men's black leather uniforms, only for Cyclops to ask him if he preferred yellow spandex instead.

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.

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.

Bright Eyes - S1-E7

Trivia: The title of this episode is likely a reference to Rogue calling Cable "Bright Eyes" in the season 2 episode "Time Fugitives, Part 2" of the original series.

Mutant Liberation Begins - S1-E2

Trivia: Cyclops' and Jean's son, Nathan (the future Cable), is given the middle name of "Charles" in honor of Professor X. In the comics, his middle name is "Christopher" in honor of Cyclops' father.

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.

Trivia: Ahead of its premiere, it was announced that Morph, who was created for the original animated series, would be non-binary. This led to backlash from some fans, claiming that the show was going "woke." Eric and Julia Lewald, who created the original series, pushed back against these fans, asking if they had learned nothing from the show and the comics that inspired it, as it was always an allegory for civil rights and highlighted people who were different from the norm and dealt with bigotry.

Trivia: For reasons yet to be disclosed by either party, series creator Beau DeMayo was fired by Disney only days before its Disney+ premiere. Despite his firing, DeMayo regularly interacted with fans on X (formerly Twitter) regarding plot details following the release of each episode, as well as recommending what episodes from the original series fans should watch in preparation for the release of certain episodes of this series.
