Addressing the Ben 10 Reboot Part 4: Show/Episode Discussions cont.
-
@andrew42 Pretty much yeah. I did just state that some people mentioned that they noticed plenty of kids expressing their dislike towards the Ben 10 reboot. I've even seen comments on YouTube, Twitter, Reddit, and the Ben 10 Planet Wiki of kids expressing their dislike of the Ben 10 reboot. You'd be surprised as to what kids really know and are capable of. Never underestimate them. I believe last year, a liberal reporter complained about how firing an AR-15 almost gave him PTSD. There are videos on YouTube showing little 10-12 year old girls firing AR-15s and having a blast. The new game, Cuphead, had this really stupid fiasco where a game journalist with 20 years of experience struggled a lot with just getting pass the very easy tutorial level. I saw a clip of a 4-year-old actually, properly explaining how to get pass the same tutorial level. I once saw a freakin toddler working his mother's phone and being able to efficiently use YouTube Kids to look up videos. Kids can really surprise you. There are a lot of kids out there that are a lot smarter and capable than many think.
Also, try not responding to my comments if you don't want me to respond back. Just saying.

@tactical-ochoa Congrats. You said something remotely positive, even if it wasn't about ben 10.
-
Actually after Omni-Tricked the reception to the reboot has been more positive then it was initially which i am very happy to see.
10 Years Of Hero Time!!!!
-
@ultimate-omnitri True. The reception has become a little more positive. Most still see the overall first season as mediocre and bland but most fans and viewers do like Omni-Tricked. Even I said that it's arguably pretty good or at the very least decent. It's definitely the best episode in the first season. Granted though, if the second season doesn't deliver, we're going to be seeing that reception go back down. Still, Omni-Tricked did lighten things up some.
-
The first episode was pretty good and although ive only seen 4 minutes of episode 2 that seems like it will be a good one to.

@ultimate-omnitri Eh, there was a lot of pretty stupid stuff in the episode though such as the pilot (who has a pretty ugly design to her) pretty much being a dumbass. Much of the episode set up some pretty bland jokes. It also felt too easy for Gwen and Max to hack into freakin NASA...or whoever this government agency is. Most likely NASA. Things did get a little better once Ben battles Vilgax. Still really don't like how they implemented Vilgax though. Overall, it was an ok episode that felt more of the same as with the first season.
-
I kinda felt the same way towards the NASA situation, it felt too rushed.
I think Ben's aliens and the Vilgax fight and crash landing made the episode good for me, I say for a season premiere its average.
But it seems like the Catdobbit episode is gonna be better since it actually does feel natural pacing and its about something none of the older Ben 10s has gone over, which is having pets.It's Action Time!

Battle at Biggie Box:
Ben vs Billy Billions vs Simon Says @ who gets the newest Sumo Slammer toy.
Billy loses and Ben finally becomes friends with Simon in the episode. They also established Billy made the backpack and tries to buy him off but fails to.
Aliens: Cannonbolt, Wildvine Enhanced (w/ usual sequence)Bon Voyage:
I don't know what happens in the episode outside the description. But from my friend in the UK, he said the episode felt average, and Wildvine was only used to try to get Ben away from his sea-sickness.
Wildvine, Diamondhead, Heabtlast Enhanced (w/ All Wet sequence) -
@ebomnitrix Uh, Kai Green wanted to have Ben as a pet werewolf.
As for NASA, it would've probably have been better if Gwen successfully hacked the ship near the end of the episode.
-
@ebomnitrix Actually, Ben did have a pet (a dog) on "Goodbye and Good Riddance". But I'm also excited for the Cadobbit episode (I think the Cadobbit won't become Ben's permanent pet though, but I will be pleasant surprised if that happens)
-
@csgt Oh yeah, that's right. Ben's family already did have a pet dog in the original show.
-
Oh and don't make the hacking bit successful out of pure luck. It doesn't make Gwen's effort feel rewarding and satisfying. It made the writing feel a little lazy.
-
Actually i think that maybe Max had experience hacking stuff and just acted like it was an accident to hide his past. But thats just a theory.
10 Years Of Hero Time!!!!

@ultimate-omnitri I don't know. They never hinted to Max being a Plumber and Max had constantly been portrayed as a more goofy grandfather compared to how he was portrayed in the previous shows. It's more likely that Max just managed to breach the firewall by accident. I'm still sticking to my prediction that Max isn't a Plumber in the reboot show.
-
I feel like Grandpa max is a plumber in this show. they've dropped many hints. After seeing the groundhog bikers, grandpa max said it reminded him of his old days. Gwen and Ben thought he was part of a motorcycle gang, but he could be referring to dealing with mutants before. Also, when Max is about to jump into the volcano, phil remarks: "Still as reckless as ever" meaning Max has done something as dangerous as this. I wouldn't assume that he was a plumber, since phil knew what the omnitrix was, and he and max seem to have a history...
