  • One small thing that I have to say, I find that sword that he has to be out of place for him. It looks too generic and it doesn't fit into his design. An alien warlord with advanced technology and he has a plain sword? It just doesn't look right for Vilgax to have that.

    @Tactical-Ochoa He used a sword in UAF, it didn't bother me at all actually.

  • @Tactical-Ochoa He used a sword in UAF, it didn't bother me at all actually.

    @Rexfan1333 I know that. He used a bunch of stuff and did a bunch of things in UAF that really didn't suit him as a villain. It bothered me and many others because it didn't make Vilgax like Vilgax. It didn't make Vilgax the very villain and character that's he's supposed to be. It didn't match Vilgax's identity and what he is best known for.

    @Tactical-Ochoa I get you, but as long as he's really evil, I'm okay with it. Sucks he might just be a generic vilian though, I want my villians with depth and not like a 2 dimensional take over the world kind of villian we see everyday in media.

    @Rexfan1333 And I'm not ok with that. A lot of people are not going to be ok with that. We don't want Vilgax to just be even. We want him to be Vilgax. You say you're ok with it but it's really not ok and it shouldn't be ok to you and anyone else. If they screw up Vilgax in the Ben 10 reboot, criticize them for it. Get on their case about it. Negativity can benefit the show through the criticism that people provide. Improvements can't be properly made if there is no criticism to rely on. Vilgax shouldn't just be really evil. He should be Vilgax. Vilgax should have what made him at his best. Not be evil for the sake of being evil. Just being really evil doesn't make a good villain. You find this ok but it shouldn't be ok to you and anyone else here.

    @Tactical-Ochoa Ture, makes me wish Ben 10 got the same treatment as Samurai Jack, but Man Of Action just stuck with CN eventhough they are obviously struggling with their shows and making god awful decisions, I want depth, drama, and character development in Ben 10 as well as talented artist working on it (the Japanese are incredibly good at this which is why I want a Ben 10 anime so badly), but it seems we might not get that anytime soon.

    @Rexfan1333 Which is why it's important that fans advocate for better quality shows. If they don't want to listen to us, then we make them to listen to us. To say "no" to this type of stuff and to tell them what we really want.

    @Tactical-Ochoa But problem they won't listen to us older fans, they are targeting the next generation of kids, I honestly don't think kids of this generation don't understand Ben 10 at all which is why the series should grow with us fans like Samurai Jack is doing. I don't want the franchise to end up failing because of CNs greed.

    @Tactical-Ochoa That's all I want, but CN still might misunderstand and cancel Ben 10 for good. I would rather have the series rest for a while and then revive it. I do wonder if we can give MOA our feed back on the reboot.

    @Rexfan1333 Make sure that they understand what we want for Ben 10. They don't listen to us, make the listen to us. Don't want CN to misunderstand the message and criticism, make sure that they understand what we really want. Make sure that the message is clear.

    @Tactical-Ochoa Yeah, like tell them to give Ben 10 to Toonami or Adult Swim, they know what fans want and will do what ever it takes to give us something great, eventhough Netflix would be cool, Toonami and Adult Swim would be a perfect place for a Si-Fi/Adventure series like Ben 10.

  • I just came across an image today of some of the reboot toys for 2018. The image is too large to upload here so check it out at http://ben10db.weebly.com/ben-10-toys.html. It is at the bottom of the page. The image shows Vilgax, Kraab, alternate forms of Diamondhead, Wildvine, Heatblast, and Four Arms. Finally, their is a new alien in the image.

    Do you think that these alternate forms are going to appear in the show?

  • @Nikita--Kleutin Can you tell what omnitrix toy this is and where I can get one? I'm very interested in it and I created an account just to ask you this question.

  • Does anyone know when wave 2 of the reboot toys comes out? I know it is this fall but I don't know exactly when.

  • The next wave was confirmed to arrive in October

  • Anyone know whats up with the Dr. Animo figure. It is not available in any stores near me and its not online anywhere (for MSRP). Apparently, Animo is the hardest figure to find in Wave 2.

  • Ah yeah I been looking for that figure also because I have upgrade,wildvine,stinkfly,fourarms,canonbolt,ben and grey matter plus all three of the deluxe power up figures

  • Wave 3 of the reboot figures came out recently and I just realized that when wave 3 was originally shown off at some toy fair Kraab was said to be a part of it. There is actually even a prototype figure of Kraab: https://ben10db.weebly.com/ben-10-toys.html (scroll to the bottom of the page). I wonder if they cancelled this figure or if we'll get it later. I hope we will get it later.

  • By the way when they're release new Ben 10 Reboot action figures of Gwen Tennyson and Grandpa Max Tennyson this year?

  • Kevin and the Anti-trix

    There's 3 new aliens for the Anti-Trix: Undertow, Dark Matter, and Thornblade (in order below). I think that Thornblade looks awesome. [image: 1549064033522-image-2.png] [image: 1549064042249-image-1.png] [image: 1549064049320-image.png]

    I'm pretty neutral on my thoughts about the reboot. It's not for me and I understand that some people have enjoyed watching it so I don't like to constantly whine and complain about it. But for me it does not match up to the writing in the Prime continuity, especially not to the original series which the reboot shares so many characters and concepts with. I was looking at parent reviews of OS Ben 10 on the slightly infamous site "Common Sense Media" out of boredom today since I only have one exam left. And what I read has led me to believe that there is a huge reason why the reboot seems to be restraining itself when it comes to everything to storytelling to character development to the transformation sequences and even the art style: because CN don't want the parents to be concerned and then ban their kids from watching the show (which would lead to less toy sales and profit). I will say that there are a great deal of parents who do approve of and highly recommend the show and deem it perfectly watchable for kids, although sometimes it may be worth having the parents watch it with them. However, there are also some parents who do not like the OS at all. Many seemed to be concerned that because the show had so many action scenes and admittedly brutal fight scenes, it would lead to their kids becoming violent because the kids couldn't differentiate between reality and fiction. They also seemed to despise how the relationship between Ben and Gwen was presented and how Ben was not a good role model for children due to his cockiness and immaturity. The alien designs also seemed to strike a nerve because they looked like (I quote) "something straight out of hell" and apparently some were far too scary. To all of that, my main response would be that Ben 10 was never meant to be a show just for kids, which seems to be a mistaken impression shared by many parents. It was made first and foremost to be an engaging and compelling show for all ages, with the main target demographic being 10-14 year olds - so not little kids. Yes there is violence but it is not graphic and in my view is necessary to an extent given that it is an action show. The relationship between Gwen and Ben is presented in a very realistic way rather than a 'candy' way (as I read someone saying on the website in defence of the show). They argue and bicker like siblings and are indeed imperfect characters but they do grow throughout the show and actually end up being more relateable for those watching who also aren't perfect. As for the alien designs, well, they're meant to be aliens and not superheroes in suits. Of course they're going to be weird looking and occasionally intimidating. I always thought that the designs were great even when I was much younger. So my conclusion from this? The opinions of a significant portion of parents (as I imagine that these views would be echoed outside of review websites) explain A LOT of the changes which we saw the reboot. The alien designs were changed to look more humanoid and less alien looking and "scary", and the art style was made simpler with a brighter colour pallet to stop younger kids getting scared. Ben and Gwen's relationship showed them getting along for the vast majority of the time to apparently set a better example to kids. The fight scenes are far more toned down and less creative than the original series. The villains are not as intimidating and there aren't significant consequences. One of the major reasons for so many of the reboot's changes is because the network wanted to cash in on the viewership of the younger end of their demographic of 5-10 years old, and so toned down the show so that their parents did not prevent them from watching. This might explain why a lot of Cartoon Network's shows are toning it down these days especially when compared to the mid 200s era. I'm really not trying to diss the parents here and I totally empathise with their concern for their children's wellbeing. Parenting can be rough at times (or so I am told by my parents). For me the solution would be to have sensible discussion with the kids and allow them to understand that lets say, Ben only fights against criminals or other really bad people and never used his aliens to attack anyone else . The misconception of 'all cartoons being for kids' often leads parents to make the mistake of allowing their young children to watch animated programmes which may be too complex or dark for their age, and then with the parents subsequently blaming the programme, it leads to CN making things more younger kid friendly at the cost of alienating the older side of their fanbase. For me, my parents were always cool with me watching Ben 10 as long as I didn't watch too much TV and as far as I remember I never developed behaviour problems while watching the show. In fact I'd think it's the opposite - I thought of Ben as a great role model while growing up, and the fact that he was imperfect only made me relate to him more.

    @Rexfan1333 That's another thing. I don't hate the reboot's art style either. I just don't like it and I just give it a lot of criticism. With Cartoon Network, we're now at a point where this is just unacceptable because like you said, Cartoon Network's reasons for wanting to go for these types of art styles is bullshit and they and their artists and animators are really just being cheap and lazy here. Like I said, it likely won't even matter that much to many if the story and writing is at least going to be good because the artwork and animation quality alone can turn many viewers away from the reboot. Having a strong story and writing is very much important but so is having some great quality artwork and animations. Artwork that can set the stage for the settings, environments, characters, etc. Animations that can deliver on many of the scenes that we're going to be seeing here. How are viewers supposed to be able to get invested with Ben developing as a character when he looks like crap? How are viewers going to be able to get invested in Ben's aliens if at least some of them look ugly and/or don't even look that much alien at all? How are any of the action scenes going to be good and memorable if the animation quality doesn't back them up? Yes I know we haven't seen any action scenes yet. It's just a point that I want to make. Overall, if they're going to have a strong and memorable story, setting, characters, scenes, etc, then they need to be able to be backed up well by a good quality art style and animations. Otherwise, there would be a chance that things can fall flat pretty badly. Just imagine Young Justice and Legend of Korra looking like the Ben 10 reboot or the PPG reboot or Teen Titans Go! or Clarence. Imagine Young Justice and Legend of Korra having the lower quality animation work that Cartoon Network Studios is being more known of making. Even with a strong story and characters and all that stuff, those two shows would fall flat pretty badly. Imagine the Ben 10 Original Series having this type of art style and/or this quality of animations. We would more likely not be looking up to the Original Series as much as we did back then and still do and Ben 10 would more likely not have been able to be as successful as it was back then. Omniverse had some good story aspects and moments to it but the art style and animation quality doesn't help to hold those good story aspects and moments up that well. I previously thought that story, writing, characters and all that stuff are more important than visuals but really the visuals of a show, movie, video game, etc are really just as equally important. Everything needs to be able to work and blend together seamlessly and very well. If one of those seams hits a snag and breaks, chances are that everything can fall apart either quickly or eventually. Just something that I want to point out. A strong story is very much important but just as equally so does that apply to having strong visuals and animations as well.
