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

[Ultimate OmniTri]

@csgt said in Addressing the Ben 10 Reboot Part 3: Show/Episode Discussions:

@Omni-Triforcer You were right!
I think they actually did try to make Ben look like Mad Ben as an easter egg for the fans (like the Wildmutt mask)

Maybe but that still leaves the question of who the hell is Yuri Lowenthal voicing? Could we be seeing episode where Ben goes to the future?

[Ebomnitrix]

So apparently Bad Penny is the Billy Billions episode, how do I know?
Don't Laze Me Bro and Max to the Max are up here:

[Ebomnitrix]

So it looks like Wikipedia got the episodes all wrong for descriptions, not surprised:

Bad Penny
Ben hangs out with a weird girl named Penny when they arrive at a pig festival, while Maurice and Sydney create a helium weapon for their next big heist!
Aliens: Four Arms, TBA

Zombozoland
Zombozo and the newly developed Circus Freaks, take over Adrenaworld as they turn everybody into zombies. The Omnitrix, keeping Ben from a mindless zombie must stop them!
(basically going from Disneyland to Disneyworld)
Aliens: XLR8, Cannonbolt, TBA

Max to the Max
Sydney and Maurice end up duplicating Grandpa Max instead of Ben by accident, and now Ben and Gwen must find a way to change him back.
(Literally most of the episode is out on CN UK they might as well show us the ending)
Aliens: Four Arms, Cannonbolt, TBA
(and if you want to count "Diamondhead") then alright?

Don't Laze Me Bro
Ben and Gwen sign a contract that if they lose in a game of laser tag with Billy Billions, they must quit forever.
Aliens: Cannonbolt, Four Arms, TBA

Now I just want them to be fully released then release the season finale, I mean we're at the final stretch of episodes, we might as well also add that to the mix.
As far as these episodes go, I kinda hope we get some Overflow and Stinkfly soon. I also don't mind Diamondhead and Wildvine since the show up until recently has been lacking them due to the spam of XLR8, Four Arms and Heatblast.

@Ebomnitrix Figures. I thought something seemed off about the episode descriptions on Wikipedia.

[Spookyohno]

@Ebomnitrix I have barely seen Heatblast at all, the main aliens they seem to go for are Diamondhead, Four Arms and Cannonbolt.

[Ebomnitrix]

In those episodes yes
But if you look at every episode of Ben 10 so far for the Reboot, we either get Heatblast, XLR8 or Four Arms.
And Cannonbolt was barely in Episodes 11-30, I would assume maybe twice at most?

[Ebomnitrix]

Any sign of Episodes 32-36 being online?

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Ebomnitrix I don't know. As usual, Cartoon Network is just terrible with their scheduling. Before, the next set of episodes are supposed to air in the US on May 18th or somewhere around that. Now, apparently it's May 29th.

[Tactical Ochoa]

Well, as expected, the Ben 10 reboot is getting a second season.

[GoodVibes1999]

Yay! A second season. I hope to see more original series villains and aliens! And Sandra, Carl, Natalie and (insert Gwen's dad's name here, because I don't remember it). And maybe even a Ben 10.000 episode.

[Ebomnitrix]

So Episodes 37-40 will be titled "Omni-Tricked" as a one hour special, airing legit on Memorial weekend, I really hope someone can upload the final episodes of the season because this has me excited:

"Today, Cartoon Network announced that the hit series Ben 10 has been renewed for a second season following the successful global launch about the boy with a mysterious watch. Since its U.S. premiere in April, Ben 10 has reached nearly 41 million viewers across a wide spectrum of platforms including linear, mobile and VOD. In season two, the network will build on the fan excitement for Ben 10 by expanding its multi-screen world to include new console and mobile games along with a host of other immersive experiences.

Ben Tennyson, his cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max will embark on their greatest summer vacation ever during the second season. The heroic adventures will continue as Ben meets new aliens, friends and foes while discovering exciting twists and surprises within his Omnitrix!"

So if we are only going on the first two episodes, then here are my thoughts.
I enjoy the voice acting of the characters, the behavior of the characters and the attributes and habits of the characters. Besides that the show is pretty meh. I enjoy how Ben likes sumo slammers still, Gwen is a geek, and grandpa doesn't care what the hell his grand kids do.
For the first episode I thought it was really face paced, had little to no back story on anything, and had pretty bad content overall.
The second episode, to be honest was more or less the same as the first. Content wise I think it was a littl better than the first, mostly because of Hex and Ben showing off how much he really knows about the aliens, like when he is explaining to Gwen how to use upragde, you can tell he has the expierencee he should have with the Omnitrix.
Well those are my thoughts, I'm hoping the show will improve in the next couple episodes, if I can get past the fact stink fly is completely different and upgrade is purple and wild mutt bieng replaced by overflow and..., sorry got Carried away.

[Tactical Ochoa]

And here's the schedule for May 22th to May 28th.

[Ebomnitrix]

The only thing I like is that Ben 10 is actually doing really well internationally and that we at least get airings of Ben 10 as much as Gumball. I hope it keeps up.
As for Teen Titans GO.... It needs to leave, especially so that PPG, Clarence, Adventure Time, Uncle Grandpa, LEGO, We Bare Bears, Gumball and even Cloudy can gain more room on the network.

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Ebomnitrix Doing really well internationally? Do you have any links that provides the viewer ratings for the Ben 10 reboot in other countries? Or is that based on news articles that were made to promote the Ben 10 reboot and give the impression that it's doing well even though it has a negative reception among viewers?

[Ebomnitrix]

Sorry I should've linked this when I revealed this but

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Ebomnitrix Ok so it's another news article that was made to further promote the Ben 10 reboot and give off the impression that it's doing well even though it doesn't provide any ratings and other proper statistics that proves if as to whether or not it's actually doing well.

[GoodVibes1999]

I'm pretty sure that the reboot is going relatively well because some of the viewers don't care about the nostalgia and/or the fans' opinions and watch it because they like it.

[Tactical Ochoa]

@GoodVibes1999 Some but not most.
