Addressing the Ben 10 Reboot Part 3: Show/Episode Discussions
-
@Omni-Triforcer I agree with you
-
@Omni-Triforcer yeah it was but I still enjoyed them both and it wasn't all comedy or all action
-
@JrPhilgene Yes there is a mix of both comedy and action. It just wasn't good comedy and action. Again, I didn't find any of the jokes to be funny and the action was just average.

I thought the jokes were pretty well written none of them were forced.
I'm just happy this is not like TTG. -
@ Tactical Ochoa, its because Ben doesn't switch alien to alien yet, that's why he didn't go Heatblast. The Omnitrix still times out in the series, even Diamondhead stated that he has to work with what he gets so that made sense.
Anyway, Cannonbolt surprised me, I didn't think he was gonna appear, and I can tell these are Eps 3 and 4, given to the order they aired in, and because XLR8's transformation was redone and more changed up compared to the other one we got for Ring Leader.
As for how I think of The Filth and Freaky Ben Gwen, I think FBG was better, mainly because of the action, the Wildmutt reference, Ben's Omnitrix still timing out and the development. They're really trying to make sure the is more like OS with how the plots are driven, because they did used to do this like... all the time, even in the shorts that's what OS did, so to me nothing's changed here from the dynamic of the original show. As for how I feel about The Filth I actually found a couple things funny, but not much, Gwen's reaction to the Back Gwana caves, and XLR8's cycle failing, I was even disgusting learning the monster was made of maggots and not sand, I literally shouted "ew!" These episodes of the OS are good and imo, this show has now gotten me liking this Reboot even more.
David Kaye voicing Max, that surprised me, and Travis Willingham makes an excellent Hex and Cannonbolt and I was surprised at some of the roles he played, and Josh Keaton as XLR8!? well then... that's a bigger surprise.
I'm hoping for the countries that got those episodes will show this weekend.

@Omni-Triforcer No it's not like TTG! so far (thank god) but I did find those episodes to be boring and unforgettable. And no, the jokes were not well written because I already pointed out at least some jokes that were pretty stupid and bad and why. They weren't forced but they weren't good either.
-
@Ebomnitrix Uh, Hex is voiced by Robin Atkin Downes

That's your opinion
-
@Omni-Triforcer And that's your opinion as well.
-
Sorry I confused the voice actors @ Mortie 10
That's what happens when you just wake up I guess haha -
@Tactical-Ochoa I never said it wasn't.
@Ebomnitrix I know the feeling.
-
@Omni-Triforcer Same here.
-
@Tactical-Ochoa Same here Episode 3 "The Filth" wasn't
a really good Episode.
Episode 4 "Freaky Gwen Ben"
Was pretty good. -
-
@james I actually saw this on YouTube recently and it actually makes a lot of sense

So happy to see the reboot has finally been uploaded, I was hoping to wait till it premiers but I couldn't wait any more and I don't regret it, it was surprisingly good (I honestly thought I would see horrible animation errors and fart jokes, but it was the opposite) I'm really looking forward to see where this series goes and here are my thoughts on the episodes
For Freaky Ben Gwen, I was right that it was a body swapping episode, I personally don't like this concept much, but I loved how it went with Ben and Gwen working together in different bodies to stop Hex, the animation is also improving amazingly as well as me loving the design of Hex (my favorite), now I understand that people felt that the jokes were bad or good, I think it's a little bit of both, some are pretty damn funny but some are just cheesy to say the least. Over all really fun episode.
And now for The Flith, I thought it was pretty good to say the least, not the best, but still enjoyable in my opinion, now for the bad guys in the series, they seem interesting (I'm really interested in how the became what they are, problably toxic accident), I wonder if we will see those two again. I also liked the fact that Ben is still learning about the Omnitrix as well as how to use it the right way, it's nice to see that again and hope he will eventually develop in character and in power. I also like the fact that Josh Keaton is doing XLR8. (hoping he will do Ben in the future, but that might take a while)
I also like that Kevin Manthei is composing the score in the reboot. Loved his work in Generator Rex and Ultimate Spider-Man.
-
I want to see how my country Brazil's dubbing is going to be. I hope Ben, Gwen and Max keep the voices they had in the original franchise (although Ben's VA will probably use the same voice he uses for Rigby and TTG!Beast Boy, since he's 26). Anyways, I hope we see Kevin, Charmcaster and maybe Cooper, Lucy, Ben's parents, Kai and Ben 10,000 soon!

I recently noticed something about the episode, The Filth. Ben tried to get the Rustbucket back through means at which would risk destroying the Rustbucket. A tornado. A big boulder. CANNONBOLT. What the hell was Ben thinking? Did he wanted to piss his grandfather off? Ben isn't the brightest character in the series but even Ben in the previous shows, especially the OS, was a lot smarter and more careful than that.
-
@Tactical-Ochoa ah yeah that would piss grandpa max off and yeah this version of ben sounds like a idiot
-
@Tactical-Ochoa he could just fix it using upgrade
