Transformation Sequences
-
So we have seen 2 of the transformation sequences for the reboot (3 of you count the ending of cannobolts) so what do you think of them?
-
They are okay, they are just not as detailed as the OS, but still feel like Ben 10.

Yeah im just hoping not every transformation has ben screaming in excitement.
10 Years Of Hero Time!!!!

@Omni-Triforcer I didn't really mind that, at least they don't seem painful when he changes form, but I understand what you mean.

Thats what made it realistic though. Spikes coming out of your back can't feel good.
10 Years Of Hero Time!!!!

@Omni-Triforcer Yeah, but it is a cartoon aimed towards kids. It kinda remind me of Kamen Rider with a mix of Sailor Moon when he changed.
-
I guess.
-
@Rexfan1333 Ben 10 wasn't originally a cartoon show aimed for kids. In fact before Cartoon Network was more of a channel suited and more focused towards cartoon fans than kids.
I already gave my thoughts on the transformations. The biggest hitters being Ben's yelling and cheering in excitement, which will make the transformations annoying as all hell if it keeps up, and considering that the transformations don't follow the Body Horror element that the Original Series transformations had. Overall, they suck and Ben's transformation into Diamondhead doesn't even look like a transformation but instead it looks like the Omnitrix is putting a Diamondhead suit onto Ben.
-
I think the transformation sequence looks really neat!
-
What I noticed was that Ben did not say his aliens name after the transformation.
-
@cooljay7 Which is nice but if anyone though that Ben calling out his alien's name was annoying enough, I bet that it'll be even more annoying to hear Ben constantly yell and cheer in excitement during at least most of his transformations.
-
@Tactical-Ochoa It is a reboot so they might have changed it (like giving Diamondhead ice like abilities), I just want to see some story driven episodes again and not just random filler episodes (they are okay, but can get boring at times)
I'm honestly not bothered by the cheering when he transforms, he is ten.
-
@Rexfan1333 Ben being 10-years-old doesn't excuse his cheering. Ben was 10 in the Original Series and yet he didn't cheer during his transformations. Why? Because the writers knew that it would be annoying as all hell. And yes, they changed the way that transformations are done but that doesn't make them better. I'd rather prefer the Body Horror element of Ben's alien transformations. It's such a great and well detailed way of showing Ben transforming into his aliens because it shows Ben actually transforming into his aliens unlike what we saw with Diamondhead in the reboot.
In fact, going back to your previous comment about the Ben 10 reboot being aimed towards kids, I'm curious now, were the transformations in the Original Series not seen as suitable for kids to you? Your answer is most likely "no" but the way you worded it at least kind of gives a hint of "yes." Seems suitable for kids to me and apparently Cartoon Network saw those transformations as suitable for kids as well because they're in the Original Series.
-
@Tactical-Ochoa I really don't care as long as I'm entertained (and I'm pretty sure it will entertain me). Things change, I know it sucks, but it's MOA's creative choice so I'm trusting them and see where they will take this series.
-
@Rexfan1333 Pretty odd and unusual creative choices considering what MOA usually makes. The art style and animation quality, the direction for making the reboot comedy-oriented, hell Joe Kelly even stated on his last Reddit AMA that it was Cartoon Network that decided to go for a full reboot and not Man of Action. I still doubt that this was MOA's creative choice for the reboot. Seems too good to be true.
-
@Tactical-Ochoa Yeah, but I don't mind comedy as long as it's not TTG level kind of comedy where all the characters act OOC through out the god damn show. The comedy reminds me of the Original series to be honest which is good, and I'm finally grown to love the style so I'm ready for the reboot.
-
@Rexfan1333 The comedy reminds me more of the PPG reboot. Not even the Original Series was this goofy and ridiculous with its comedic elements.
-
@Tactical-Ochoa I honestly don't see it (I actually laughed unlike with Powerpuff Girls). We haven't seen a full episode yet, at least give it a chance because we can't change what they are doing, its their show, not ours.
-
@Rexfan1333 At this point, I'm not even trying to change it. I'm just making predictions based off of everything that is known and right now, it doesn't look good.
-
@Tactical-Ochoa I understand how you feel, but shows like Steven Universe started out like this, the show is simplistic (the pilot was detailed), but the show is funny and has similar moments like Ben 10 had, the Ben 10 reboot may start off rocky but will get better through time.
