    Episode 4 has aired. Got some nice banter between Jack and Ashi.

    ?

    @Tactical-Ochoa Wonderful episode. Loved the interactions between Ahsi and Jack. The Aku-puncter joke was pretty funny. Looking forward to see the Scotsman vs. Aku in the next episode.

    Umm, I'm sorry, but not every goddamn show needs a gay character, like even the CW forces it on us so much it gets annoying, and there's literally race and alien diversity.
    ALSO for Scaramouch, THIS IS PART OF HIS CHARACTER, LITERALLY THERE WILL BE SOME PEOPLE LIKE THIS BUT EVEN THEN, ITS NOT SEXISM.
    Samurai Jack has always been Samurai Jack and nothing has changed, the only thing that has changed is the exploration of adult themes, and even then it doesn't feel like a drastic change at all, people are just complaining because every show they think needs to be "REALISTIC, NEEDS LOGIC, ALL THIS AND THAT" like not every show has to follow these themes, its annoying and stupid and any show that's on TV can be its own thing as long as its good, which it is.
    For a first negative review of this show, its pretty stupid people would say this at all, they're thinking at it too intelligently and really stupid because not every show has to have logic, gay characters, realistic approaches and whatever, a show can do whatever it wants as long as they do it in an entertaining and right way to the viewer, that's legit how TV shows should be.

    It's Action Time!

    Sorry for not replying in a while. The last two episodes was fantastic. Seeing Ashis transformation was pretty good. Thats have you do character development. I don't like that Aku killed the Scotsman, but atleast he returned as a ghost. It was very nice to see him again. It was seeing all those people Jack helped again. And seeing Scaramouth and Demongo again was very suprising. And Scaramouths infamous line was the best line ever. And I really like seeing adult Ashi naked, even if she have been naked the whole time though. The scene with her as a child was very terryfiyng to watch. I also like the samurai song. And I loved that she saved Jack in the end. Would have been cool if the Grim Reaper was voiced by Greg Eagles like in Billy and Mandy though. I guess there is more to say, but whatever. Two fantastic episodes and Im looking forward to episode 7 and the rest of the season.

    Episode 7 is out. Jack get's his swooord baaack. Also um, unless you're Jack himself, it's not the best idea to piss off Ashi...ever.

    @Tactical-Ochoa What a good episode. It was great to see a "flashback" of good old Jack losing his sword. And it was epic as hell seeing Ashi defeat the whole army and her mother by herself. I doubt her mother is gone tough. And Jack finally got his sword and old look back. Now we are closing in to the finale, I wonder how it will turn out. My guess is that Jack dies and Ashi use the sword to kill Aku, or otherwise. Actually I hope both survive, but I think that one of them will die, but surely don't hope its Ashi. Shes my new favorite character.

    @Mortie-10 Oh my god, Ashi just demolishes that entire army. I love how she uses one of the warriors as a shield to use to plow through a good chunk of the army, causing many of them to fall off the rock formation. I laughed so much from that scene. So ridiculously glorious. Like the movie "300" except it's just one chick and she freakin wins.

    @npzman
    I understand why.
    Most of the Samurai Jack fans from 2001-2004 are now adults, Season 4 ended 13 years ago so it makes sense.

    And I'm glad it's not on Cartoon Network anymore because it would be a screwed up "Comedy" show.

    I loved episode 8. Best episode so far. Im think Im gonna make a top 10 episodes list once this series is over. I loved Jack and Ashis realitionship in this episode and loved they become a couple. I was nice to see Ashi naked again and Jacks reaction to it. Overall very good episode. Looking forward to the finale.

    @Tactical-Ochoa Im not to impressed with episode 9. Sure it is a good episode, but it starts and ends a way I don't like. It start with revealing that Jack and Ashi wasn't... you know... during the night, whitch everybody belived happened. Scaramouche is back atleast, but his voice sounds like if Tom Kenny was sick during recording. And his interactions with Aku where fantastic. However, I don't like that Aku killed him. Jack and Ashi conversation about defeating Aku was pretty strong. I also liked the fact that Jack is in fact dating the daughter of his worst enemy. I don't like that Ashi was turned evil again and that Jack gave up. Such a bad ending. But I guess since it is a two-parter its kinda expected. So far the weakest episode of season 5, but not a bad one.

    THE FINALE IS HERE!!! And god how good it was. The finale battle against Aku was the best thing ever. The Scotsman was at his best. It was really funny seeing the old theme with Mako again. And Jack is finally back to the past and finally destroys Aku. It was extremely sad seeing Ashi fade away from existence. I hoped so mutch that she and Jack would marry and have kids. Im sure the ladybug at the end is Ashi's spirit talking to Jack. Most powerful episode of the season. My favorite is episode 8 though. Here is my top ten episode list:
    *Episode 8
    *Episode 10
    *Episode 6
    *Episode 7
    *Episode 2
    *Episode 3
    *Episode 5
    *Episode 1
    *Episode 4
    *Episode 9

    @Tactical-Ochoa I read the series about a year ago and I must say that it is incredibly well written especially considering that it is a fanfiction. While I’m personally not a Bwen shipper (I always saw their relationship akin to a bond between close siblings) the entire Little Moments universe is incredibly well written and there are little things in it which just contribute so much to the narrative (eg. Ben’s relationship with his parents, something I really thought should’ve been explored in Alien Force). I’ve been thinking for a while about starting on a fan comic exploring an alternate timeline of the events of Alien Force. The Highbreed arc would still happen similarly and Ben would have to don the Omnitrix for the first time in years. There would be a few differences though - the first of which being that I’d try and explore the possibilities of Charmcaster being the one to (at first grudgingly) have to work with Ben and Gwen but eventually softening and becoming a better person over time despite being haunted by her past. I always thought that it would be an interesting idea to have Kevin as a vigilante or even a villain - I’ve been reading some Batman comics recently and I really think that Ben and Kevin could have an interesting Batman-Joker dynamic between them. One of the key themes of Alien Force was meant to be Ben becoming leader but he didn’t really have a proper team to lead for the majority of the time, so I thought that involving Cooper and Alan in the story could work well - with the other Plumber’s kids being introduced later down the line. I’m not a super talented artist (though I can draw decently and have done a few concept sketches ) and while I have written decent short stories for fun before this would be way tougher. Everything is just ideas and brainstorms right now given that I don’t have too much time on my hands at the moment.. Just thought that I’d share the idea.

    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.
