Addressing the Ben 10 Reboot Part 3: Show/Episode Discussions
-
Holy crap. I checked the IMDB rating for the Ben 10 reboot and it's down to a 2.2/10 with 100 votes. A few hours ago, the rating was a 2.8/10 with 96 or 97 votes. Yeah I know, a 0.6 point difference isn't much but I didn't expect it to drop that fast in such a short amount of time and with such few people within that amount of time considering just how long it took for the rating to get down to a 2.8/10 in general and I believe the reboot started off with a 4.2/10 on IMDB when it first premiered.
-
It really saddens me to see what this reboot is becoming
-
What scares me is this could kill the Ben 10 franchise as a whole, I don't want to see this series die, I hope if this reboot gets cancelled that they will revive it for fans instead and have the Legend of Korra and Voltron team take over.
-
I think they'll ignore the North American ratings and renew the reboot based off other continents' ratings. I saw somewhere that the series is much more popular in other countries. Besides, online rating isn't very important to most TV channels. And remember: There are people who actually like the reboot, they're the ones that will make it survive!
-
@GoodVibes1999 Maybe, but look what happened to Omniverse, the way they treated that show was so bad and showing it in 6 in the morning, I think the reboot will suffer the same fate to be honest, but I hope not and hope it gets better.
-
Honestly, I'm not hating on the Reboot, but more concerned by it right now, it seems like it's trying to hard to be funny and nothing interesting has happened in this series, I feel that it's still a chance for this to get better, but still seems to not want to get better.
-
@GoodVibes1999 Yes, the Ben 10 franchise is more popular internationally than in the US (granted, people that are saying that are comparing one country to, oh, the rest of the world). However, that doesn't mean that Ben 10 had been met with success recently. Yes, Ultimate Alien and Omniverse were still successful but that was the point were the franchise really REALLY started to go downhill and when people really REALLY started to have a problem with the way at which Cartoon Network treated the franchise. Ultimate Alien did very poorly in toy sales and Omniverse ended up having so poor viewer ratings and toy sales in general that Cartoon Network aired the show everyday in the morning in order to rush out the remaining seasons so that they could write the show off for taxes. There's the saying, "If you don't learn from history, you are doomed to repeat it." Cartoon Network clearly hasn't learned from their mistakes because here we go again with the Ben 10 reboot, a show made solely for selling toys and merchandise; a show made because Cartoon Network is greedy. It's most likely that history will once again repeat itself.
And remember, there are a lot of people that do like Omniverse and yet Omniverse still ended up having poor viewer ratings and poor toy sales. Also, those that do like the Ben 10 reboot are in the minority. Those that don't like the reboot are in the majority. The minority most likely can't make this reboot survive if they are out-shined and outspoken by the majority so don't get your hopes up on that.
@Rexfan1333 More often than not, you don't get a show like the Ben 10 reboot in such poor quality from a team that is legitimately caring, respectful, excited, and interested in making it. I remember taking with @admin a while back and he mentioned how his friend from Cartoon Network Studios mentioned how there were plenty of people that were working on the Ben 10 reboot that were not happy about how the Ben 10 reboot was turning out as. If the team that's working on the Ben 10 reboot really do legitimately care about the Ben 10 reboot, this isn't what we would've got as a final product. We would've got a much better show if it was from a team that really put in a lot of care, effort, and respect into it. We would've got a much better show from a team that valued artistic integrity over greed and money. The behind-the-scenes preview clip that we saw a while back, it looked like the team was excited about making this reboot. However, after seeing how the Ben 10 reboot turned out in quality, I'm questioning as to whether or not that excitement we saw from that preview clip was actually legitimate. Previews, trailers, and promo clips can be misleading after all and there's definitely a good possibility that they were just acting it out and I'd say that that's most likely the case.
Unless the team working on the Ben 10 reboot decide to put in a lot of care, effort, and respect into the show, I'm not seeing it getting better in the future. The reboot might not even get pass the first season considering the reception that it's getting. If it does get pass the first season and gets renewed for a second season, then that's the chance that the team has to turn things around and for the better but if they screw up the second season, then there's a good chance that it's over for the Ben 10 reboot. Maybe not the franchise as a whole but definitely the reboot show itself.

@Rexfan1333 I also want to point out that Andrea Romano (Voice Director for Legend of Korra & Voltron) has actually worked on Ben 10 before & she's actually retiring soon.
-
@NelsonYeung2 I've heard about her working on OS Ben 10 before, but I mostly just want to see Ben in the same style as Legend of Korra and Voltron, it can work and I can see them handle the characters better than CN.
-
Say I wonder if Cartoon Network/Man Of Action ever gonna make a Christmas episode of Ben 10 Reboot? And when brand New episodes of Ben 10 Reboot will be aired soon?
-
@Rexfan1333 with mei would rather see in the style of hellsing ultimate or one punch man
-
@jondennison72 reboot will return in March 2017 as I said, the Russian division of cartoon network this is most likely associated with the early release of the episodes in the USA
-
Soooo is the reboot on hiatus or some shit like that
-
@JrPhilgene I guess. Cartoon Network has been doing some weird crap lately with their schedules. I heard that Steven Universe ends up on hiatus quite often. The Powerpuff Girls reboot was on hiatus from June 23rd to September 1st, October 27th to November 28th, and then apparently went on hiatus again on December 2nd after airing the 38th episode. Episode 39 won't air till January 12, 2017. By the way, that's episode 39 out of 40 episodes for the FIRST season. Often times, the Powerpuff Girls reboot would even air multiple episodes in one week. There's also Teen Titans Go! still taking up most of each day's schedule plus whatever other weird scheduling stuff that Cartoon Network has been doing in recent time. I don't know what's up with that and it's such bullshit. So inconsistent and poorly structured.
-
If you have on demand go to the Cartoon Network folder and find coming in 2017 and you will find Ben 10-new series and it has unseen clips. I've seen them and I'm interested.
-
@Rexfan1333 Clips from the show that we haven't seen before?
-
@Tactical-Ochoa yeah, I wish I can take photos, but I don't know how and it will look pretty crappy. You have to have on demand like Grande to see them, but I can tell you what I've seen.
Ben and Gwen are at the water park and I'm pretty certain that Frightwig is going to be in it. (she also the same age as Ben and Gwen which is interesting)
The second one was of Ben and Gwen at the circus and are met with a werewolf like creature.
That's what I seen.
-
@Rexfan1333 Considering how the first half of the first season went, I'm not expecting much from the second half. I don't know about Frightwig being the same age as Ben and Gwen. Considering how they screwed up the other well-established villains from the franchise in this show, I'm more of expecting them to screw her and the werewolf up as well. That is if the werewolf is the Yenaldooshi from the Original Series.
-
@Tactical-Ochoa Well, it's kinda hard to describe so I'm not sure unless I see the full episode, I'm not sure what the werewolf is yet, but Gwen saw it was human when she was protecting Ben.
-
@Rexfan1333 I'm still not expecting much.
