Addressing the Ben 10 Reboot Part 2
-
Well so far...
Fact 4) Has really proven to be this bad. Because they're already blaming the company for just making it another simple CN show that's about 11 minutes long, hijinks, but since its Ben 10, its gonna partially that, but stay true to its original formula. And people have already complained because of the animation change, because not every show can stay in one style forever, eventually its gonna be changed or its gonna be done by an entire different crew. You have to expect that from any Reboot, Sequel, or Bring Back, that the show will literally change. -
I also wanted to say about Fact Number 3 and 4 again
This is why we never got Galactic KND
Sure we had the people onboard, same workers, animators and everything, sure it had only been LESS THAN a Decade to bring this show back... but the issue at hand is...
If it does come back like that, shit's gonna go all to hell.
Not to mention no matter how much this show was good to everyone, only half of the older fans are gonna watch this show, and the younger fans won't understand anything that's going on. In fact, this is why Samurai Jack is going to be on Adult Swim, so it can keep up with its older fans and be brought back the right way instead of letting CN change everything, including the art style about it.It's Action Time!

@Ebomnitrix I believe I said this before on here a while back but I'll say it again. If you don't want younger viewers that are new to a series to be confused about a series that requires having knowledge of the prior events from previous iterations, DO A RERUN. Re-air the previous shows before the release of the new show so that anyone that is new to the series will be able to catch up to everything and thus understand everything that's going on. Problem solved. It's not rocket science and doing a rerun will bring in new fans to a series as well since that they're being introduced to said series through those very reruns.
-
I agree tactical that is the best way to get newbies caught up
-
So we know Belgium gets this October 10th
What about everywhere else, anything confirmed yet? -
just I hope there wont be any new gwevin fans because most of them read that stupid twilight book series and watches the stupid movies
Keep running
-
@Ebomnitrix Norway is also getting it October 10th
-
@KorseBLI-ND Actually you're kinda right on that... Back on the Dwayne McDuffie forums in 2009-2010, Ben 10 was only cared about because of Gwevin, like there was so many people, that they didn't care about Ben's focus at all, it was very annoying...
Like some cared for Ben 10 for Ben and his aliens, but the other part of the fandom was the Gwevin fans and the ones maturing through the series who'd rather want this dark action tone, then for what Ben and the Omnitrix can stand to himself, Ben maturing is fine, but AF kinda went to a line that feels sort of... yeah.... -
ah yeah another reason I hate Dwayne McDuffie
Keep running
-
@KorseBLI-ND I don't hate Dwayne McDuffie (the guy made Static Shock for crying out loud, another favorite series of mine), it wasn't really his fault, it was Cartoon Network for hiring him even though he never even saw the series (I'm not sure if he seen the original or not, but what we got proved he never seen a single episode)
-
ah just I hate because of him of him making the show and making the damn gwevin pairing plus his damn followers of his forum destroying a group i was with so I will hate him till I am on my deathbed
Keep running
-
@KorseBLI-ND I'm not a fan of Gwevin either, it was just dumb mistake. The whole Smart girl with bad boy thing was just played out honestly.
-
ah yeah but I am still pissed at his damn forum followers and him because that group I was with I consider them more my real family than my family
-
So alright, I wanted to ask you all this.
When do you think we're going to get our first ever trailer for the Reboot?
It comes out in 2 months for everywhere but US/Canada and Latin America. Any ideas? -
For the us? I would think probably around christmas
-
For Europe (Netherlands/Belgium)
Probaly End this month/next month
I will give more information about Ben 10 from The Netherlands -

Hopefully this is true -
So I came across these two articles that both discuss the toy line for the Ben 10 reboot discussing a bit of news about them and how the development of these toys are going. There was a mention of how things have been quite exciting, encouraging, and welcoming for the Ben 10 reboot toy line. Yeah, right, because things really have been quite exciting, encouraging, and welcoming ever since that teaser clip of the Ben 10 reboot was released back at San Diego Comic-Con 2016.
There's also a mention of how the Ben 10 toy line became a major phenomenon the first time around and thus how it's tricky to predict how well the toy line will do this time. Here's my prediction on how the toy line for the Ben 10 reboot will do. Yes back then during the Ben 10 OS, the toy line soared in sales. It was one of Cartoon Network's most successful sales in merchandise for the company and network. However, as time went by and as Cartoon Network more so started treating the Ben 10 franchise more poorly and exploiting it more just to sell more toys and gain more profits, Ben 10 toy sales have gone down drastically. How drastically? I mentioned this before plenty of times. Ultimate Alien's toy line have done so poorly in sales that it tanked Omniverse's toy line. Most people didn't want to buy Ben 10 toys and most retail stores didn't want to sell any more Ben 10 toys because they knew that the toys weren't selling and profiting. It's like I said before, because of this, what makes Cartoon Network think that the Ben 10 toy line will do well enough this time around with the Ben 10 reboot? There's already a large negative response and very little interest in the Ben 10 reboot. Most people are not looking forward to it. The toy line has pretty much gone under since Ben 10 Ultimate Alien. My prediction is that, especially if the reboot doesn't do well and doesn't turn out to be good, the Ben 10 toy line isn't going to do well enough in sales because of what I mentioned here.

Actually I wanna state this @ Tactical Ochoa.
Bandai has had a history of failing toy lines for shows, like a long one, because the same thing happened to Thundercats when it came back in 2011.
I think toy sells back then in general were just failing because YJ failed when it had a super strong fan base, Generator Rex wasn't that popular and its toy sales failed before its second wave of figures released.
But my point is, if you look at Bandai's history, with some merchandising, some stuff has failed in the past, and I think they switched to Playmates because TMNT was doing so well. So my best bet, people may buy those figures, but remember, A LOT OF PEOPLE HATE the Reboot, I don't think the toy sales will do any good if that many people hate the franchise.
Right now the only things people are paying attention to is Steven Universe, TMNT, how bad TTG is, and other trends that I don't really remember.
Ben 10 was big back then, but I don't think the Reboot is going to help it make it any bigger due to the change in Omniverse pissing a lot of people off, Therefore, until Ben 10 makes a show that's not like CN's current trend, it follows a more developing and anime-path like UAF, but without the DC feeling/Max-shoving off/alien-pushing episodes, then we may have something going. (Like Pokemon XYZ, Dragon Ball, whatever) Because Ben 10 being relied on kiddish stuff over and over is the worst for the franchise to rise to fame.It's Action Time!

@Ebomnitrix Yeah, CN needs to get their shit together because it's only making them look really bad at this point.
