Addressing the Ben 10 Reboot Part 4: Show/Episode Discussions cont.
-
@JrPhilgene Unless there is a source that Wikipedia provides to confirm that Yuri Lowenthal is going to voice Vilgax, don't take it for granted. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they do end up having Yuri Lowenthal as Vilgax. And really, if this is true, they're going to have Yuri Lowenthal voice Vilgax and not Steve Blum? Yuri is a really good voice actor but like with many of the other voice actors in the reboot such as David Kaye as Max and Greg Cipes as Stinkfly, Yuri is very much not a good choice for such a villain like Vilgax. What is it with this show's voice actors? This is one of the most mismatched cast of voice actors that I've seen in any animated show.
@Ebomnitrix @JrPhilgene I think the Ben 10 Extranet messed up on the typing there and they really meant that season 2 was confirmed. That wouldn't be right if Cartoon Network already renewed the show for a 3rd season yet the first season hasn't even finished airing yet.
-
@Tactical-Ochoa That's what I was thinking. Because why would there already be a Season 3 if Season 2 hasn't came out yet?
Then again... Uncle Grandpa, Clarence and Steven Universe pulled this stunt... -
Oh and going a little off topic for a bit. Someone managed to find out about this from the Powerpuff Girls reboot and just...what the hell?

@Tactical-Ochoa I thought the same thing when I saw season 3 confirmed on the site I thought it was a typo but it already had a separate part that was talking about season 2 so i'm not too sure it was a mixup.
Also I agree that while yuri lowenthal is a great voice actor he shouldn't be the one to voice Vilgax..I much prefer Steve Blum
I have no opinion on him voicing this new alien "Gax" since we've never seen Gax in any previous series and don't know what he's supposed to be like or how he should sound -
If anyone from the UK has seen the Omni-Tricked episodes, can you post a pic of Gax, Vilgax, Krabb, Tetrax & Sixsix? Also, I'm pretty sure Max's mysterious friend is Azmuth.
-
Can't wait to see the new Ben 10 cartoon clips of "Omni-Tricked" when they aired on Cartoon Network in June.
-
Now Im really excited to see the Omni-tricked four-parter. Hope they air in Norway soon. Maybe I record it too.
-
I was reading the summary for omni tricked part 4 again and it says that Ben wanted to update/upgrade the omnitrix and then I remembered the Gladiator toys that were revealed at the toy fair and I got to thinking what if upgrading the omnitrix gives bens aliens this gladiator esc outfit/armor
-
So as of this point for Ben 10, we have yet to see:
- Bad Penny
- Zombozo-land
- Max to the Max
- Don't Laze Me Bro
- Omni-Tricked (1 hour special)
-
Im happy they are at least still doing 1 hour specials. When it was announced that the episodes were only gonna be 11 minutes long that hour episodes were gone for good but thankfully thats not the case
-
So I saw the last 2 parts of the finale (because I forgot to record the first 2) and it was by far the best reboot episode, and it's due to it's much more serious tone, which I hope they can keep for season 2.
Vilgax is, atleast from what I heard, voiced by Yuri Lowenthal, with heavy modifcation. He wasn't too bad, but Steve Blum would've been much better. Vilgax was also handled quite well much to my surprise, with him being an actual threat to Ben and the world.
Overall, it was rather good and almost felt like an episode of the original series.
-
@Spookyohno thank you for sharing! I'm glad to hear that it's got a more serious tone. Can't wait to watch it for myself!
-
Vilgax actually looks really good. So do Krabb and SixSix. Why does vilgax have the omnitrix symbol on his chest? Man i am so hyped to see this episode now
-
@Omni-Triforcer That's actually Gax in the first and fourth images.

Are you tellin me ben gets a vilgax form?

Reading my post again, I found I forgot to mention several other details (probably due to spoilers so... SPOILERS I guess)
SPOILERS JUST IN CASE WHOOPSIE.
Phil appears in the finale (appears in the first episode of Season 2 of OS) as a good guy, though I don't know if they brought up his and Max's involvement with the plumbers. Anyway, Phil is there to help Ben control the Omnitrix which he apparently broke when he used Upgrade to do something with it. Thus resulting in Ben having gained a twisted, broken form of Master Control. Phil creates a device for the Omnitrix to help maintain it better, but Ben ends up tinkering with it, which continues into the next paragraph.
At the end of Part 3, there's a small plot point involving the Omnitrix having deleted Ben's human form from it's database, resulting in him staying in Alien form for a long duration, which affects Ben greatly in the beginning of part 4. Vilgax manages to fix this when he tries to remove the Omnitrix from Ben.
Kraab, Sixsix and Tetrax appear briefly in part 3 (as shown in one of the pictures) to help Ben combat Vilgax, but are quickly dispatched from the fight when Vilgax knocks them back into their portal and don't appear again.
And that's pretty much it.
-
@Omni-Triforcer Yep, but it doesn't stay for very long.

What are his powers?
-
@Omni-Triforcer It's pretty much the same as Vilgax, he can shoot lazers from his eyes and has super strength. That's about all that's shown though.
-
Im so hyped after seeing those pictures. Finally something serious from the reboot.
