Ben 10 reboot discussion: Season 3
-
here's my theory: MOA is in more control then we credit, but i think different people are running this show, and those people just kinda skimmed the old stuff, probably eyeballing concept art and saying: "yeah, we can do that."
-
I'll be honest, I feel like they're more taking old unused ideas, or unusually strange ideas, and sometimes saying "sure, why the hell not?" Not in a negative way, a neutral one.
Sometimes, being alone is the right way to find someone else

@ungrateful-wolf I dunno man, everything seems to circle back to selling toys.
Nobody gets to choose how it happens.

@offbeatcat Yeah they are definitely making decisions that will make it easier to market toys to kids. With that being said the quality of the figures for the reboot (made by Playmates toys) are much higher than the quality of the Bandai figures.

The "omni-ki" is the ultimate example of this mentality.

i mean, even having multiple aliens would be better then slapping armor on old ones.

@cooljay7 That's because Kevin's aliens are all based on band and music names.
Quad Smack = SMACK (finnish band)
Bashmouth = Smash Mouth (band)
Black Ice = Black Eyed Peas (band)
Wreckingbolt = Wrecking Ball (song by Miley Cyrus)
Hot Shot = Hotshot (band)You'll notice Ben himself has two reboot original aliens with that theme naming too: Shock Rock (music genre) and Slapback (sound term).
For Black Ice, let's be honest, we all heard the complaint that Diamondhead's powers in the reboot looked too much like ice powers at least once. The writers acknowledged that and used it to name Diamondhead's copy.
Also, as mutated Kevin's aliens can be, I really don't feel Bashmouth is an Appoplexian. He looks more like a werewolf like Blitzwolfer than a tiger or any anthropomorphic feline. (I do believe he is Rath's rival tho)@ungrateful-wolf said in Ben 10 reboot discussion: Season 3:

@tactical-ochoa No, no official source. But when at least three Kevin aliens confirm it and when two of Ben's aliens also apply, it becomes a solid theory. Kinda surprised you're paying attention to something that trivial.
Unless you're talking about Bashmouth, in which case I was just giving an opinion when I said I believed he was Rath's rival

@ungrateful-wolf Diamond ice as black ice is a huge stretch. So are Quad smack and and smack. i just don't see it.
-
just a theory at this point, nothing crazy
-
@cooljay7 It pretty much is.
@tactical-ochoa i can't believe they're already running out of ideas

Hey how about a new Ben 10 Reboot episode when Grandpa Max Tennyson tells his grandkids how he spend his young days in college at State University.

@jondennison72 Even better, how about they make a completely new show and just sell the rights to the brand?

@offbeatcat I said this plenty of times before. I say that it could be better for the franchise as a whole if a good Japanese animation company takes over Ben 10.

@tactical-ochoa it's unlikely, honestly. With how the show's been going, i doubt people would even want to buy it.

@offbeatcat Well, that's part of the reason as to why I have an interest in making a Ben 10 game and why I want to see if I can convince PlatinumGames to make it. To try and respark interest in the Ben 10 franchise. To try and turn things around for the betterment of things.

@tactical-ochoa it's highly unliekly, but not impossible. don't bank on it.

@offbeatcat It's worth a try at least. After all, PlatinumGames isn't new to making licensed games. They made Legend of Korra, Transformers: Devastation, and TMNT: Mutants in Manhattan as well as Starfox Zero and Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance. Plus, with their philosophy on gameplay, a game made by PlatinumGames where the main playable character can transform into various different forms could certainly be quite an interesting concept that would attract plenty of attention. Besides, the gaming industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and the biggest entertainment industry in the world. It would be stupid for Cartoon Network to not take advantage of such potential.
