Ben 10 Reboot Discussion Part 1: Season 2
-
@andrew42 What? How about instead Ben saves the day by using everything that he knows and has access to to overcome a difficult and dangerous battle against one of his greatest and most feared enemies? If Ben wants to use Shock Rock, that's fine. However, regardless, Vilgax should be very much capable of being able to pummel Shock Rock to a bloody pulp because again, tension. Again, the hero should experience struggle. The hero should face properly difficult challenges to overcome. Viewers should have the feeling that Ben could possibly die in such a battle like this. Therefore, when Ben does win, viewers feel more satisfied with the outcome. Ben's victory would feel more rewarding. The battle itself would feel more memorable. All of this because Ben was able to overcome a difficult battle; because Ben was able to defeat a very dangerous and fearful enemy that he experienced significant struggle in fighting.
This is an objective standard to making a good action scene. There has to be tension. The hero should face struggle and difficulty. There must be a significant challenge. If Ben can easily defeat Vilgax with very little difficulty by using only one specific alien, then yes, Shock Rock is too powerful and he breaks the balance of the battle. Therefore, Ben's battle against Vilgax isn't a good action scene because it would be too easy for Ben to defeat such a powerful and dangerous villain like Vilgax.
I think it's actually you that's maybe looking at this the wrong way. No, I (and I bet many other viewers) would no want for Ben to have access to an alien that allows him to easily defeat one of the most powerful and feared aliens in the universe. If that ends up being the case in this upcoming episode (and I hope that it doesn't), it's likely that a lot of fans and viewers are not going to appreciate and favor something like that to happen in this show.
-
@andrew42 Granted, I don't think It's going to happen that way because as far as I can tell, Shock Rock seems to be just an electric-based alien and not what @Ebomnitrix describes him as. However, Shock Rock can still likely prove to be too powerful of an alien for Ben to use because we haven't seen the entire episode. Hopefully he's still balanced well enough for Ben's battle against Vilgax.
-
i think they exaggerated his abilities a bit for his debut. he was put in a situation where he was was great at what he did; he's average, at best.
-
wrong @Tactical-Ochoa
If you saw all the clips Mortie10 provided it is shown he can control the weather and he also described he can control, manipulate or shoot the elements, as ice and earthquakes were provided examples.It's Action Time!
-
@ebomnitrix Are you sure? The Weatherheads are also featured in the episode, the snow and ice could be their doing.
-
@ebomnitrix What clips? He only posted the transformation clip, which he now just recently removed. I don't see any other clips that he posted on here.
-
@tactical-ochoa I found this other clip elsewhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVcYZb_wo4c
-
Like the new Ben 10 Reboot video of Shock Rock character. When you gonna show the new episode " The 11th Alien"? And by the way When you're gonna do a Ben 10 Reboot Thanksgiving cartoon clip?
-
@csgt That's more like it. Looks to me like Shock Rock controls weather and not the actual classical elements of nature. At least that's based on this clip. Granted, like you said, it could've been the Weatherheads changing the weather instead and not Shock Rock since that you said that the Weatherheads appear in that very episode.
-
@tactical-ochoa The Weatherheads appear in this other clip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6QhM4jzvZMA
-
@csgt Then it's most likely them that's changing the weather and not Shock Rock.
-
Did he just kill vilgax?
-
Here is Animorphosis full episode. Uploading The 11th alien soon. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x682c7r
-
@tactical-ochoa From what I see, who have watched the episode fully, he have some sort of weather powers, but some of them was the Weatherheads messing with Ben. I don't really know. We shall see in a another episode he is used where the Weatherheads dont appear.
-
I wonder when they're gonna show or aired the new Ben 10 Reboot 2 part episode "The 11th Alien"? Are they're gonna aired on dailymotion.com or youtube.com?
-
Oh, and by the way. I wonder will Man Of Action will ever gonna do a special Ben 10 Reboot holiday episode? And when they're gonna do brand new Bentuition shorts for season 2 soon?
-
hey guys, what's your favorite episode of season two? My favorite was probably the one where hex opened the nightmare portal. I think that it was a pretty decent episode, and that hex was played pretty decently.
-
@andrew42 Animorphosis was my favorite. Loved when Animo turned into Rath
-
I'm between Can I Keep It? and Animorphosis, but I'm really excited for The 11th Alien
-
Um....are the omnitricked episodes considered as a movie or are those just like normal episodes.
