  • @Omni-Triforcer I like the Ben 10 reboot design of Grandpa Max. By the way are we gonna see cartoon scenes of Grandpa Max shirtless?

  • Holy crap, I just noticed something from the full version of the Annecy preview clip of the Ben 10 reboot. Steven T. Seagle states this, "We're starting clean, Ben is 10-years-old, he's on an eternal summer vacation with his grandpa Max and his cousin Gwen, he's found a watch, he turns into 10 aliens, and that's all we have to worry about this time around." Ok so first off I don't find this a good way of describing the reboot. Yes it's supposed to mean that they're starting all over because this is labeled as a reboot but it also gives this feeling that there's not going to be much of a focus on a good, strong complex, and well written story and characters. What really caught my attention though is that Seagle says "he's on an eternal summer vacation." Eternal as in lasting forever. I really hope that that's just poor word choice because if this turns out to be the case, then they're going to be taking a at least 3 month long summer road trip and make it last forever. That each episode is just going to be about Ben, Gwen, and Max going from place to place and doing stuff. That there's going to be little to no progression in regards to story and characters. That it is most likely that we won't be seeing the characters grow up and develop throughout the years and that Ben and Gwen are just going to stay as their 10-year-old selves. Again, I hope this is not the case and that this is just poor word choice because that is definitely not what I want to see in this series.

    @Tactical-Ochoa I hope it's poor wording as well, I'm scared they will make Ben and Gwen the new Bart and Lisa where they never grow up. Honestly teen Ben needs to appear again, having Ben be another Ash Ketchem where he stays a kid and having the same voice actress for years is not good in my opinion.

    @Rexfan1333 Something tells me that it's not poor word choice and that this is going to happen this way. If it is the case that the reboot will focus on an eternal summer vacation, then what Steven T. Seagle described about the reboot is most, if not all, of everything that we're going to get. That what Seagle described is the Ben 10 reboot in a nutshell. That what he described is all the reboot is offering.

    This is a video that the Ben 10 Club posted on YouTube showing Joe Kelly and Duncan Rouleau stating that they wanted to go further into Ben 10,000. Stating what sounds like they want to make a sequel. A continuation to the Ben 10 story. The reboot is the opposite of that. And this is the show that many claim that Man of Action wants to make. I call bullshit on that.

    @Tactical-Ochoa I think it's just poor wording, I'm pretty sure they won't let that happen.

    @Rexfan1333 You'd be surprised.

  • I just watched the preview again and noticed that someone said we are turning up the comedy this time. My reaction: Oh boy, that doesn't sound good.

    I feel like this time around there won't be much character development for the villains. I feel as if there is going to be a new villain almost every episode which would mean that we are never going to have story arcs anymore.

    @cooljay7 Like I said, what Steven T. Seagle described the reboot as is most likely all or most of what we're actually going to get. That what he stated could very much be the Ben 10 reboot in a nutshell and that's all or most of what it's going to really offer, which is not much and not good.

  • Oh and alongside the comparison in regards to the context, at least in regards to the design of the aliens, Ben's aliens in the Ben 10 reboot do look similarly like the aliens in Super Alien Hero Buddy Adventures in regards to the design and quality.

  • I don't see any similarities

    @csgt I do agree with you on Charmcaster's UAF design. Granted, as shown in the quote that you're using to respond to, that's not the point that I'm addressing here. I'm not stating that Charmcaster's UAF design looks unique overall. I'm stating that it looks better and more unique than Charmcaster's reboot design. Even though her UAF design isn't really unique on its own, is most certainly not a design that I like and favor, and doesn't even hold a candle to Charmcaster's OS design, it is a better and more visually unique design when compared to Charmcaster's reboot design, which, again, looks very much like a typical and generic Goth girl. Considering how they've handled the Ben 10 reboot so far, I doubt that they're going to make a connection between Hex and Charmcaster in the reboot. Her first name being Hope and the concept of Ledgerdomain itself are pretty much the only things related to Charmcaster in UAF that I liked. Ledgerdomain does have some nice potential and Hope sounds pretty ironic considering what Charmcaster went through with Hex before the events of the Original Series. Everything else with Charmcaster in UAF is stuff that I don't like. I most especially don't like how they handled her relationship with Hex in UAF though given that it very much conflicts with what was established with them in the OS. Granted, you do make a good point. Charmcaster, and Hex, were terribly handled and written in the sequel shows. However, when it came down to Charmcaster as a character, I really only compared the reboot Charmcaster to the OS Charmcaster because yeah, Charmcaster went through a pretty severe downgrade in the sequel shows and Charmcaster was at her best in the OS. I do have an interest in making an article about Charmcaster and analyzing her as a character, much like how I did with other characters such as Julie Yamamoto and Professor Paradox. I know for sure that this Charmcaster article is going to address the points about her in UAF that you made here.

    @Ebomnitrix You make some good points. Yeah, Ben 10 is more successful internationally (although, of course that would be the case since that you're comparing the United States to...well...the rest of the world so I don't find that to be a fair comparison) but that doesn't mean that we should get a show that is of mediocre, or at the very least lower, quality. Yes, they should try to take a different approach considering that it's a reboot but they also need to make sure that this show is an improvement over the previous shows as well. To me, there is no excuse for a show to be of lower quality and that includes the one that you gave. Even then, come on. We all know that Cartoon Network really had this show made just to sell more merchandise. This is Cartoon Network here being the Cartoon Network of today that so many are getting so sick and tired of. It wasn't made for the new generation of kids. It wasn't made for international viewers. That's really just bullshit. This show was really made to sell more merchandise. I also try not to look at things from a nostalgic perspective when discussing such topics like this as well. I make sure to look at things from a more...I guess "objective" is the right word...perspective. Or maybe "analytical" is a better word to use. Either way, I try not to look at things to nostalgically because I don't want to be biased. Even when compared to other recent Cartoon Network shows like Clarence, Steven Universe, Uncle Grandpa, the Powerpuff Girls reboot, We Bare Bears, etc, the Ben 10 reboot doesn't have a lot of substance to it because it's just so similar to those other shows. Even when I don't compare it to the original Ben 10 show or even the sequel shows, I don't find the Ben 10 reboot to be a good show; especially when it comes to the writing and direction. If the Ben 10 reboot really was a good show, I would be more than happy to praise it. However, the Ben 10 reboot is not a good show. At best, it's average but this is a mediocre show that, like I said, was made just to sell more merchandise.
