  • So Joe Kelley has confirmed that ben 10 was once different then a show about aliens he says "We had an idea about a kid who could switch places with other versions of himself from parallel universes where the conditions on Earth led to strange evolution - water-breather, vampire, etc.
    This was too complicated an idea to explain to a young child, and after much development, aliens came into play instead of parallel Bens - though Duncan drew a ton of Bens from other universes!" What do you guys think of this?

    @Omni-Triforcer Yeah, glad we got the aliens concept instead.

  • Yeah but you have to wonder what it wouldve been like if we got a show like that.

    @Omni-Triforcer Yeah, it's an interesting concept. Maybe it could've worked if done right. Still, I agree that it would just be too complicating for young child viewers.

  • Yeah but me not being a kid would be fine seeing it. It feels like something the comics would do but would be to hard for kids to understand.

    @Omni-Triforcer Oh yeah. Probably better in comics.

    @Tactical-Ochoa Actually, maybe some of this original concept was used for Omniverse. Honestly, though, while the whole alternate universes concept and the different Bens was pretty cool, I felt that Cartoon Network overdid it and made it too complicating or something and/or, to me, it just felt like that having a main focus on the different timelines just doesn't fit the Ben 10 series.

    I guess Omniverse could be an example of proof that the original concept just likely wouldn't work for the Ben 10 series.

    Why did I even say hyped at all When it's out I will watch it. If it ends up good then great I guess. It really gonna be my first time watching the reboot outside the first few episodes. If the execution of the original characters turns out to be terrible, well honestly I couldn't expect less from them.

    I think I remember you talking about the DNA Aliens before but I'm not sure if my memory serves well. There has been lots of writers that hasn't really paid attention to the overall story of the season and what would happen before and later in the story arc. They most certainly didn't taken a look at the original series because if they have then I think Alien Force and onwards would been a very different show. None the less UAF still do hold a higher spot for me then the original series in my opinion. Yeah on top of all the people Micheal knowingly murdered then got sent to the null void with the plumber re-awarding Kevin and Gwen their plumbers badge back. Except Ben didn't got his badge back meaning he was able to stop the rooters a year later as a result. So at least that paid off. However around 2 months later Gwen made Cooper free Darkstar/Micheal out of the null void to seek his aid on stopping the highbreed invasion in return he'd be free. He ratted out and Kevin , Gwen and Ben. Just let it drift aside after all the humans he MURDERED and they didn't took it seriously. Micheal would later be formally arrested again when rook stop micheal from evading custody at Friedkin University. This can't go unnoticed they let Darkstar continue his activities. Also Remember in Ulimate Alien how Gwen wanted to save Kevin when he went insane after absorbing all that power from the omnitrix while begging Ben not to kill Kevin. Because Ben wanted to save many other lives that are under threat by "Ultimate Kevin". Irony here.

    @GoodVibes1999 @Omni-Triforcer The Ben 10 reboot is really just making the same mistake that the PPG reboot made where it relies on past knowledge with the other shows to understand a lot of what's going on. If you're going to make a reboot designed to introduce a new audience to the series, make sure that you reintroduce everything to said new audience instead of making a reboot that requires the new audience to have to go watch the previous shows just so they know know what's going on in the reboot.
