    @cooljay7 Yeah, MOA should give it some thought if CN screws everything up.

    I don't know about that. Like with Warners Bros, Toonami is connected with Cartoon Network. In fact, I think Cartoon Network even has control over Toonami. Hell, Cartoon Network even cancelled Toonami back in 2008 due to low ratings and likely even money issues. Now yeah, Adult Swim did revive and bring back Toonami in 2012 but Adult Swim is also a network that is a part of the Turner Broadcasting System or Time Warner, Inc. That means that Adult Swim is also connected to Cartoon Network as well. If Cartoon Network does screw up the Ben 10 reboot and Man of Action manages to get the Ben 10 series back in their hands, I would rather have the series not be with any network that's connected with Cartoon Network. That includes DC and Warners Bros, Adult Swim, and maybe even Toonami.

    @Tactical-Ochoa Yeah, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and Toonami are all owned by Turner Broadcasting. If Ben 10 was to be moved to Toonami, I would think that the show would have much darker themes then. I think that this would be good for the show. I honestly would be happy if Ben 10 moved to Toonami. Its not like they haven't done it in the past, for example, Samurai Jack was originally on Cartoon Network and now the revival series is going to be on Toonami. Obviously, we can't judge if this move was good or not yet, because Samurai Jack (Season 5) has not premiered yet. Although, i have a feeling that this shift will be good for Samurai Jack, and it would also be good for Ben 10. Imagine a Samurai Jack in the style of some of the current Cartoon Network shows.

    @cooljay7 Last time we got a Ben 10 show with darker and more serious themes, we got Alien Force and Ultimate Alien and I already discussed many, if not all, of the various problems with those two shows and many Ben 10 fans had criticized those two shows for having those darker themes.

    @Tactical-Ochoa yeah, but it would be nice if Toonami made the series with dark episodes (which are my favorite episodes), I'm pretty sure they would allow balance in the show with dark and light like the original series with Alien Force elements. (older characters, character development, and character arks)

    @Rexfan1333 Having darker elements can work for Ben 10 just as long as it's done well. The Original Series has its fair share of doing some really dark moments and having some really dark elements. They were just balanced out well with the lighter moments and elements. Either way, as long as they're done well, darker elements in Ben 10 can work well for the series.

    And while we are at it they should get Generator Rex on Toonami as well. Continue it or reboot it.

    @cooljay7 That's fine. If you like it, that's fine. Alien Force and Ultimate Alien still have many many various problems and flaws to them and I'm just pointing those problems and flaws out.

    My Ben 10 aliens playlist

    @Mortie-10 Here's mine [image: 1619813967998-playlist.png] I believe that it is a really balanced playlist with a range of different aliens, none of whom are too overpowered meaning that they are all of equal importance in my eyes. People may question why I have Rath in there instead of a proper strength alien like Four Arms or Humungousaur for melee combat, but the reason is that the Appolexian transformation would help me be fearless in battle. I'm by nature a quiet person who isn't the first one to put their hand up for a fight and I'd definitely be terrified if I had to engage in hand to hand combat, and Rath's personality would help me overcome that. Or else I could just swap him with Four Arms. Buzzshock and Feedback are also argued to be similar but I think that Feedback is more general when it comes to energy absorption and, well, feedback and is my personal favourite out of all the absorbing aliens. Buzzshock however is more electricity-specific and has powers which Feedback doesn't which makes me have him on my roster. I tried my best not to include any "fusion" aliens like Echo Echo or Jetray (especially not Jetray) as I find that they're too overpowered. Big Chill is the exception here, but only really because I would be worried about using Ghostfreak because of the Ectonourite personality thing. I also tried to include my favourite canon designs of all of them. Granted Pesky Dust's design is a bit unrealistic for me even though I like the idea of the alien, but it's the only one we ever got.

    @Ebomnitrix Dwayne McDuffie didn't create Ben 10. The Man of Action team did, McDuffie had a very different vision for Ben 10 and retconned a lot of things for AF/UA that Man of Action had previously established in OS. I absolutely love Dwayne's work on Statick Shock and Justice League Unlimited (JLU is my favorite cartoon ever actually), but as other people here have said, I would have preferred a Ben 10 sequel by the hands of the original creators. My answer to the question: I think there is a reason why the OS is the most popular series, and that reason is because from AF onwards a big part of the audience lost interest (I'm not talking about the hardcore fans here, I'm talking about casual friends that I know that stopped watching Ben 10 after the OS). AF storylines were amazing, but the new aliens were not as interesting as the Original Series' ones (with a few exceptions), there were a lot of retcons, and especially, the writers were in love with Kevin and made him the main star of the show, stealing the spotlight from Ben sometimes, and it didn't work out.

    @chronosapien234 Yes, true. The Circus Freaks were important with his plan. However, that's just because they're villainous henchmen characters. Even without Zombozo, the Circus Freaks still end up temporarily as the henchmen to another villain. You know, Ghostfreak. Pretty much almost every time we've seen the Circus Freaks, they are serving somebody. Mostly Zombozo. They're just villainous henchmen characters. They helped but they're not really all that important. In fact, I believe that there pretty much wouldn't be a difference at all if they aren't around. Why? Because, again, they're henchmen. They're also basic thugs, too. The Circus Freaks are not that important. Also, this is about Zombozo as a character and villain. What makes Zombozo who he is. Why he is like that. How he executes his plans. What makes Zombozo as Zombozo and he doesn't need the Circus Freaks for that. That is another out of the many problems with Omniverse and even the other sequels. The Original Series was able to do things that not many cartoon shows ever did. The Original Series did something new. The sequels were generic and typical cartoon shows. They barely did anything new if nothing new at all. That episode in Omniverse with Zombozo turning everyone in Bellwood into zombie clowns. If it was a nod to the Original Series, it failed at trying to delivery and do something unique and impressive. No instead, it ended up being another terrible episode due to Ben regaining his fear of clowns and one major plot hole that really ruined that episode, let alone the sheer cartoonish stupidity of it. Does nobody remember that Zombozo and the Circus Freaks are villains? Does nobody remember what they've done in the past? Oh, Ben regained his fear of clowns, huh? Thanks for making Ben conquering his fears in the Original Series pointless now, Cartoon Network. As for the plot hole, ask yourself this question? Those toy teeth that turn people into zombie clowns. Yeah, how is it that those teeth can bite through Plumber armor and hazmat suits let alone BASIC CLOTHING? They're plastic toy teeth. Is Plumber armor really that terrible and not that protective? I thought Stormtrooper armor was bad enough. Plumber armor is even worse. That one plot hole alone makes that entire episode freakin stupid and terrible. It shows how poor and lazy the writing, structuring, and designing of the sequels are. I know it's a cartoon show but again, it needs to make sense and needs to be understandable enough to work.
