I was watching that 4 hours ago
I think we speak for everybody saying that the biggest screw up was no Paul Eiding.
Gwen we all know is replaceable, but Max... is just... that's where you screw up...It's Action Time!

Gwen we all know is replaceable, but Max... is just... that's where you screw up...@Ebomnitrix Noooooo. The biggest screw up is going for this reboot in the first place and making it the way that it is right now while putting in little to no effort into it while also having little to no care and respect for the franchise, the fans, the new generation, etc. That is the biggest screw up here.
As for Gwen, no. Much like with Max, she's not replaceable either. Like with Paul Eiding portraying Max, no one has done a much better job with Gwen than Meagan Smith. Much like with Tara Strong to Ben and Paul Eiding to Max, Meagan Smith helped define Gwen as a character. She made Gwen stand out the most. She gave the best performance for Gwen. She helped make Gwen an iconic character. If they really cared for and respected the Ben 10 series, not only would Paul Eiding be voicing Max right now but there would've been a good chance that they would've brought back Meagan Smith as well instead of having Montserrat Hernandez portray her. Hernandez is ok but she has done nothing to define Gwen and make her stand out in a good way. Instead, Hernandez has contributed to making Gwen at her most unlikable state and helped portray Gwen at her worst. If I was in charge of the voicing department, I wouldn't even give Hernandez a chance and would immediately focus on getting Meagan Smith back on board. I would be fine with Hernandez voicing a different character but I wouldn't let her touch Gwen.

@Tactical-Ochoa I honestly didn't like Meagen Smith all that much, her voice got quite annoying after a while and I wasn't big with Ashley Johnson either, I prefer Tara Strong voicing her to be honest, I loved her take as adult Gwen and I'm sure she can pull off a young and teenage Gwen. To bad we will not see that happen though, instead of her playing Ben probably forever with nothing new.

I have no problem with the new voices, it gives the series a fresh feel. I kinda want new voices for Ben and Gwen here in Brazil since Charles Emmanuel and Ana Lúcia Menezes have been voicing them since the original series. Charles is an amazing VA but sadly his voice doesn't fit young Ben anymore and Ana Lúcia is very good as well but she never bothered to make young Gwen sound like a child in first place. But going back to the voices from the original version, I have absolutely nothing against David, Montserrat and the other new VAs.

I wonder whether there are similar events in other countries ?

@Rexfan1333 I think one of the biggest problems with the reboot is the whole comedy aspect of it cuz ManOfAction are used to writing more serious shows so I think that since they made it a bit more "child friendly" they're having a hard time writing for it because it doesn't really seem like they're losing their touch its more like they're getting accustomed to writing for a younger audience
@JrPhilgene I also got the feeling Charmcaster is not going to appear. It's sad, but I hope she might come in eventually because she is my favourite character.

@Rexfan1333 she has too appear it's because of her that Gwen got her powers

@JrPhilgene True, she has to appear at some point because she's just as important to the series as Kevin and Vilgax.

@Rexfan1333 yup I do think that she won't be in as much episodes as she did in the Os but she will end up in the reboot

@JrPhilgene Yeah, I don't mind her as a minor character. Just as long as she's present in the series. I also got ideas of writing a fanfic on my take on the reboot. It will have the origin story and old and new characters returning.

@Rexfan1333 Cool. I would like to see it when its finished.

@Mortie-10 Thanks, but I will keep Ben 10 years old as well as the outfit (I like it better than his original series look), but slowly have him grow mentally and physically as the story progresses. And Julie will also appear as well as classic and new characters.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wK7ztSvyP4Q@Ebomnitrix That's definitely not a positive review. He's just basically saying that it's average. Not bad, not good, just average.

@Tactical-Ochoa I haven't watched reviews for the reboot because of them just yelling and crying like immature brats about how much they hate the reboot, but I do like Cartoon Hangout, his reviews for the episodes are great and I do agree with him. Sad thing is that Man Of Action pretty much written the "just meh" episodes, it feels like they are not use to this format at all or just not use to writing for children. (Ultimate Spider-Man being a good example of trying to get kids attention)

@Rexfan1333 it's true cause man of action are better writers than this
