It is clear that Hollywood rejected producer Robert M. Burnett's attempt(s) to reboot the 1980s Sci-Fi TV series Captain Power, but the reason(s) why remain a mystery to fans like me. I speculate that the reason(s) behind Hollywood studios rejecting a Captain Power reboot might be about its 1980s TV series failure to last more than a season back in 1987, but that could be only part of the story. Another issue that the Captain Power TV show faced, like many other sci-fi projects of the 1980s, had to do with angry parents negatively reacting to the show's violence which attempted to attract both kids plus adults through episodes and interactive games. My guess is, studios weighed a Captain Power reboot suggestion against the challenges of our current era of sci-fi cinema, and RMB got the "no" because his idea(s) never addressed how past issues won't affect or effect it today. Plus, RMB probably never addressed how his Captain Power Reboot is an improvement over the original. If I was a movie producer, I would pitch a Captain Power reboot by making the story reflect popular interact games during the 1980s, and the games of popularity back then was LazerTag plus Photon with Captain Power. My pitch, for a Captain Power Reboot, would start with machine villains becoming the political governing "shadow leaders" of humanity through the interactive tech-games called LazerTag and Photon. These machine "shadow leaders" of tomorrow won't be in humanities dark future following a war that that destroyed more than half the human population; instead, they will be in humanities prosperous future operating in people's "blind spots" while allowing humans to think they are safe from them. LazerTag and Photon would be my story replacement tools of tomorrow for conventional weapons of today because of their nonviolent ability to stun and teleport people into prison facilities used for subjugation. Then, at the near "political subjugation of humanity" rises a new breed of warriors called Captain Power and his future Gamers. My Captain Power pitch would defuse past arguments about the original show's violence because this reboot would have more of a "gamer focus" concept, and it would be both unique plus distinctly different from it predecessor. captainpowershs.jpg CaptainPowerLivePic01.jpg

Slight update here. Duncan Rouleau posted that there's nothing to report yet on Ben 10 due to Cartoon Network going through a lot of financial restructuring.

Yesterday, Mateusboga completed another commission for me, this time centered on Michelle Hallam from the Ben 10 fanfic series, Little Moments. Michelle is a Lebanese-American and best friend to Gwen Tennyson along with being the daughter of a US Army colonel, who commands a new military base in Bellwood. We went with two versions here. One where the hair beads that she has have Charms of Bezel-inspired symbols and the other with Norse symbols. The hair beads were a gift from Gwen, who also attempted to give the beads magical effects. This commission is meant to emulate Michelle in the most recent chapters of Breaking Point Rebooted.
Once again, I think the artist did a great job with this. He also posted the zoomed up version of this artwork on his Twitter account. Feel free to check out his other stuff if anyone is interested. I've also updated my gallery of all the commissions that he did for me. Feel free to check out the links below.

I'm thinking about how would Bruce Wayne would grow up to become if one of his parents died and with the other one surviving instead of both parents getting murdered.
Could Batman maybe then become overconfident, arrogant, and reckless because of that ?
Across multiple adaption of Batman. The age where Bruce Wayne lost both his parents are different. The person responsible is different. So why not have a different tragic event that would be the Genesis of Batman.

Back in 2021, Duncan Rouleau said that the 6th iteration of Ben 10 would be revealed by the end of the year. Well here we are a year later and still nothing on the next series. What do you guys think happened to it? I think whatever the next series was was cancelled in favor of something else.

Re: Why Did Ben 10 Get Rebooted? by D.C. Network
Why do you think CN has not considered Ben 10,000
cartoon series? -
D.C. Network designed 5 of his own Ben 10 aliens and had an artist draw them in the Omniverse style. Here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwWRaxnCr2A
I honestly really enjoyed watching this, it took me back to when Omniverse used to be on the air and really made me miss watching new episodes of Ben 10 every week. Hopefully we get a new series soon!

I came across this bit of info recently and it's interesting that this was a thing. Staff members that worked on UAF being so dead set on the Ben/Julie relationship that they resort to this. Unsurprisingly, that little stunt didn't work, because of course it wouldn't. Of course, Cartoon Network wouldn't care.
Derrick J. Wyatt was right though. I get that Omniverse breaking up Ben and Julie was done poorly, but it really was for the best. The set up for their relationship was rushed and Ben and Julie's relationship really did have little to no chemistry. Julie was not interesting and engaging and Ben was a jerk and an idiot to her. It felt like an unnecessary relationship done just for the sake of having Ben be in a relationship. Julie's purpose was to be a satellite love interest to Ben and it's the UAF crew's fault for not making that relationship good and well-executed.
If people like the Ben/Julie relationship, more power to them. It still baffles me though that people willingly support it and were so up in arms over their break up. Ben and Julie breaking up really was for the better and if anything, it would've been better if Ben wasn't in a relationship in UAF to begin with.
Granted, it's not like Ben and Kai's relationship was any better though. That relationship had its own set of caveats that made it terrible as well. I certainly think that Derrick J. Wyatt and the Omniverse crew were in the wrong for pairing Kai up with Ben, handling their relationship quite poorly.
I already mentioned these videos before, but I again recommend checking out these videos by Sarcastic Chorus. They do an excellent, if not perfect, job of going in greater depth on why Ben's relationships with Julie and Kai didn't work.

Yesterday morning, Mateusboga finished up another commission for me. This one is another version of the redesigned Ben 10,000 commission that the artist made for me a few years ago. This version covers a Ben 10,000 that's more of a closer reflection of the Ben 10,000 from the Ben 10,000 episode of the Original Series in regards to him being a shell of his former self.
