There is one thing I will admit though, I obviously and most certainly don't have a problem with Man of Action working on the story. They are great writers and artists and I do believe that they can do well in the story aspect. In fact, that's still a positive that I have with the new Ben 10 show. Man of Action is at least involved. What I have a problem with is that I have a feeling that at least most of the Original Series is just going to be rehashed into the new show. That Cartoon Network is just going to have Man of Action reuse at least most of the Original Series's story and episodes for this new show. Like I said before, this doesn't fit the memo of a reboot but instead this new show fits the memo of a remake. This aspect is more of a prediction though but I can't really see much else of what they can do with this new show that they haven't done with the Original Series. There just isn't a lot of potential and opportunities that can be taken here because they pretty much already fulfilled all or most of that potential and opportunities in the original show. Either way, at least Man of Action is involved and I still find that to be a plus for this new show.
Another problem that I have is that Man of Action doesn't really have a lot of control. Like Rouleau said, they have a big input on the story but that's really all that he states here at least at the moment. In the Ben 10 OS and in Generator Rex, Man of Action had a lot of control over those very shows and because Man of Action were able to do things their way, those two shows turned out to be great shows. Two of Man of Action's shows, Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers Assemble, were seen as pretty mediocre shows at best. They were not well received, which can be seen as surprising since that Man of Action were involved...but they weren't in charge of those two shows. Marvel and Disney were because they own Spider-Man and the Avengers. In fact, Man of Action was formed because the main four guys that run it were former Marvel comic book writers and artists that left because they were getting sick and tired of Marvel's treatment of them and their very projects. Man of Action was formed so that its very members can be in charge of their own projects and that's a major reason as to why many of the shows and comics that they've created turned out to be very good. Because MOA were the ones that were in charge. In this case, Man of Action are not in charge of the next Ben 10 show and Cartoon Network are the ones that are really in charge of the show (I already explained why).
Cartoon Network executives have proved in the past that they are not that good at making creative decisions. They are not that good at making shows. They don't understand what their audience truly wants. We already know what Cartoon Network is like. We already know what happens most of the time when Cartoon Network's executives take charge of a well established series. We already know what Cartoon Network does and what they like to do. In fact, many entertainment executives end up proving that they don't actually know what the hell they're really doing and end up making a lot of really stupid decisions over really stupid reasons. I recently saw a video by game critic Jim Sterling that proves this (and I'll post that video here as a reference). Sterling's video about game executives and the argument that he gives for them certainly connects well with Cartoon Network's executives as well. Cartoon Network shouldn't be in charge here and really they should never be in charge of any of their shows. The creators, artists, and writers should be the ones in charge instead. They know and understand what to do and what needs to be done and they will certainly do a much better job in charge than what a group of executives and businesspeople in suits can do.
