Addressing the Ben 10 Reboot Part 3: Show/Episode Discussions

Locked Ben 10 Reboot
1.0k 24 1.0m 22
  • I recently noticed something about the episode, The Filth. Ben tried to get the Rustbucket back through means at which would risk destroying the Rustbucket. A tornado. A big boulder. CANNONBOLT. What the hell was Ben thinking? Did he wanted to piss his grandfather off? Ben isn't the brightest character in the series but even Ben in the previous shows, especially the OS, was a lot smarter and more careful than that.

    @Tactical-Ochoa he could just fix it using upgrade

    @JrPhilgene Doesn't excuse Ben still being this stupid and wasting all that time and effort over something that Ben could've thought up a much more simple and effective solution for.

    @Tactical-Ochoa I agree also upgrade cant fix the stuff in the rustbucket like if grandpa max had pictures plus also books and other stuff also like gwens stuff plus also bens stuff

    @Tactical-Ochoa Ben is still getting use to the Omnitrix and the fact that Cannonbolt his harder to control is kinda a problem.

    The omnitrix didn't make the big bang happen.

  • @Tactical-Ochoa I agree also upgrade cant fix the stuff in the rustbucket like if grandpa max had pictures plus also books and other stuff also like gwens stuff plus also bens stuff

    @KorseBLI-ND Ben doesn't have anything and I'm pretty sure Gwen will get the spell book at some point.

  • I mean like for ben his clothes would be destroyed if a boulder hits the rustbucket and causing the fuel tank to blow

  • So seeing that they normally release a bunch of episodes on the first week of the premiere do you think that we will get two more tonight

  • @Tactical-Ochoa Ben is still getting use to the Omnitrix and the fact that Cannonbolt his harder to control is kinda a problem.

    @Rexfan1333 Still doesn't excuse the pointless antics that Ben went through to try and get the Rustbucket back. Ben could've simply and easily transform into XLR8, get ahead of the Rustbucket, find a good spot for an ambush, change into Upgrade, and then once the Rustbucket gets close enough, Ben as Upgrade could just easily integrate into the Rustbucket and make it stop. Problem solved. That type of thinking is what Ben did a lot in the OS, which was worked on by MOA who were working on this reboot. Ben had plenty of time to think that up as well. It's an example of bad writing coming from a team that we expect better out of. One of what I believe to be many examples of bad writing that we're going to end up seeing in this reboot here.

    @Tactical-Ochoa The whole point of the reboot is that Ben is still learning about the watch and it's power and is not experienced, even OS Ben made a lot of mistakes, this version is no different from that Ben, he's still young and not very mature yet, this is just the beginning of the series and it has potential have Ben grow and become better with the Omnitrix, you seriously need to stop comparing this series with the OS, it's not supposes to be exactly like it, it's a reboot so things are going to be different and not the same that doesn't mean it's bad, at least it's way better that the PPG reboot and TTG, this just show CN are on the right track.

  • So we got episodes 3 and 4,
    Now if we can just get Episodes 1 and 2....
    (I really wanna see Waterfilter and The Ring Leader)

  • Can't wait to see new Ben 10 Reboot episodes of Waterfilter and The Ring Leader really soon that'll be cool

    @Tactical-Ochoa I agree also rexfan1333 to me ben was a idiot for using cannonbolt to get the rustbucket back

  • @Tactical-Ochoa I agree also rexfan1333 to me ben was a idiot for using cannonbolt to get the rustbucket back

    @KorseBLI-ND Ben was alway an idiot, not in a bad way, even in the original series and beyond, it's part of his character to not be too OP. Even though he he can be pretty intelligent, he is still a human being that's not perfect and makes a lot of mistakes.

  • So we got episodes 3 and 4,
    Now if we can just get Episodes 1 and 2....

    @Ebomnitrix Me too.

  • I know but the original series version of ben was not much of a idiot like this version he sounds way more dumb in this version

  • I know but the original series version of ben was not much of a idiot like this version he sounds way more dumb in this version

    @KorseBLI-ND this version is just like the original and he's freaking 10 for god sakes.

    @Rexfan1333 I understand where you're coming from, this new Ben seems the same to me plus I try not to compare this series to the original because I think that if you compare it to the original your expectations are set too high and you won't be able to enjoy the show for what it is. I don't even consider this show to be part of the Ben prime timeline

    @JrPhilgene I agree, I honestly say the reboot turned out better than I expected, I mean of course some people won't like it because of the jokes and such, but I feel this series has a lot of potential for a great storyline. I also try not to compare this to the original, I just want to see the fun as well as the future of this new series. Let's hope this series kicks the PPG reboot and TTG butt.

    @Rexfan1333 it already did kick their butt. A friend of mine kept telling me that the reboot would end up like the ppg reboot but after seeing one of the episodes he changed his mind. Obviously there are people that wouldn't like it but I doesn't really matter I honestly can't wait to see what else this show has in store for us in the future and I hope Ben and Gwen age during the reboot or in the sequels since its safe to assume that Ben10 won't be ending soon

    @csgt I do agree with you on Charmcaster's UAF design. Granted, as shown in the quote that you're using to respond to, that's not the point that I'm addressing here. I'm not stating that Charmcaster's UAF design looks unique overall. I'm stating that it looks better and more unique than Charmcaster's reboot design. Even though her UAF design isn't really unique on its own, is most certainly not a design that I like and favor, and doesn't even hold a candle to Charmcaster's OS design, it is a better and more visually unique design when compared to Charmcaster's reboot design, which, again, looks very much like a typical and generic Goth girl. Considering how they've handled the Ben 10 reboot so far, I doubt that they're going to make a connection between Hex and Charmcaster in the reboot. Her first name being Hope and the concept of Ledgerdomain itself are pretty much the only things related to Charmcaster in UAF that I liked. Ledgerdomain does have some nice potential and Hope sounds pretty ironic considering what Charmcaster went through with Hex before the events of the Original Series. Everything else with Charmcaster in UAF is stuff that I don't like. I most especially don't like how they handled her relationship with Hex in UAF though given that it very much conflicts with what was established with them in the OS. Granted, you do make a good point. Charmcaster, and Hex, were terribly handled and written in the sequel shows. However, when it came down to Charmcaster as a character, I really only compared the reboot Charmcaster to the OS Charmcaster because yeah, Charmcaster went through a pretty severe downgrade in the sequel shows and Charmcaster was at her best in the OS. I do have an interest in making an article about Charmcaster and analyzing her as a character, much like how I did with other characters such as Julie Yamamoto and Professor Paradox. I know for sure that this Charmcaster article is going to address the points about her in UAF that you made here.

    After some thinking, I realized something that I forgot to mention. On its own and when compared to the Original Series episode, Last Laugh (considering that both episodes use the same story premise in regards to Ben dealing with his own fears), The Clocktopus is still not a good episode. It still suffers from poor writing and I mentioned other aspects of this episode that also holds it back. However, when compared to other episodes of the Ben 10 reboot show, it is a better episode. Despite the problems that I have with Steam Smythe, I still like the theme of his character and he is at least a better villain than the other villains that were showcased in the reboot. He's just an annoying villain much like with the Weatherheads and, at least to me, the writers just exaggerated a little too much to him or something of the likes. Like I said, there was some potential with this villain. Like I also said before, at least Ben's fear of squids does give him some struggle with fighting Steam Smythe and thus helps to make the conflict a little more challenging. So yeah, even though I find that the episode still had some really poor writing and the episode itself is still not good, it is better than the other episodes of the Ben 10 reboot. However, considering the quality of the other episodes of the Ben 10 reboot, that's not saying much. At best this episode is just average.
