Addressing the Ben 10 Reboot Part 3: Show/Episode Discussions
-
@Rexfan1333 the reboot has a lot of potential the problem really isn't ManOfAction it's Cartoon network First off the runtime the 11 minute runtime is limiting the shows creativity I mean their were chances for good story and plot development in some of the episodes but because of the runtime it messed it up like with clown college Ben could have gotten mind controlled by zombozo when the clown dropped the gas bomb behind the tree but instead he just shook it off another thing is the voice actors I don't mind Gwen Ben or Max but some of the aliens need better voice actors preferably the ones voiced by Roger Craig Smith except xlr8 and diamond head and I'm not sure how I feel about Yuri lowenthal voicing upgrade ,the rest of the voices are alright to me. Another thing is the way CN is spending more effort hyping up the reboot than they are at making it like with the way the characters look animated compared to how they look in the artists still photos Ben and Gwen look very different in the show compared to artists drawings and so do the aliens. But my biggest gripe about the reboot relates to the episodes like filth and ring leader the pacing the inconsistency and the lack of action in those episodes .I'll still watch the reboot and I still want it to do well but they say it's going it would be best to bring the show to Netflix and make them do something better with the reboot

@JrPhilgene After hearing you, it really makes me wish for a anime Ben 10 series (not like Yokai Watch, but like a drama, action, comedy, superhero series like My Hero Academia style)
-
@Rexfan1333 I love My Hero Academia can't wait for season two and I certainly would not be mad if they made Ben10 like that
-
@JrPhilgene yeah, I really need to catch up on the anime, I wonder if anyone would ask Man of Action about how they feel about Ben 10 going anime.
-
@Rexfan1333 I don't think that they would be against the idea
-
@Rexfan1333 cuz most people watch anime instead of cartoons anyway so I think that they would actually bring in more fans of they made an anime like Ben10 series
-
@JrPhilgene Yeah, they worked with anime companies before with Monsuno, Ben 10 deserves that treatment as well if they want to attract a larger fan base.
-
@Rexfan1333 I don't hate the reboot like most people but I feel like if they change the voice actors for some of the aliens bring back the 22min run time and make it a bit more serious it would be 100x better or they could just remake the reboot entirely
-
@JrPhilgene Yeah, I don't hate it either, I'm a open minded person that will give something a chance, and I like the reboot, it's fun and has some pretty cool moments (hope they do more), but it does have a lot of flaws that need fixing and I'm hoping MOA will do so. I just don't want another reboot after reboot where they don't know what the heck they are doing.
-
@Rexfan1333 I think one of the biggest problems with the reboot is the whole comedy aspect of it cuz ManOfAction are used to writing more serious shows so I think that since they made it a bit more "child friendly" they're having a hard time writing for it because it doesn't really seem like they're losing their touch its more like they're getting accustomed to writing for a younger audience
-
@JrPhilgene Yeah, I think they are trying too hard to get the kids attention, that's what happened to Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers Assemble. They need to start writing again like Generator Rex before the filler episodes.

One other thing that I want to mention, and almost forgot to, is that a YouTuber from Ecuador known as frio10mil found my Ben 10 reboot episode reviews on Deviant-art and asked for permission to share my reviews on his channel. I said yes and he said that he's going to start working on the video next week.

and most importantly why I left the answer to my question will there be other characters from the original ? Yes, but the exact information of who and when and in what series we can not speak of the politics of the show episodes
-
RebelTaxi's 63rd podcast was uploaded today. At the 1:15:00 mark (they have the list of topics that they discussed in the description section of the video) is where they talk about and criticize the Ben 10 reboot.

I was watching that 4 hours ago
I think we speak for everybody saying that the biggest screw up was no Paul Eiding.
Gwen we all know is replaceable, but Max... is just... that's where you screw up... -
@Ebomnitrix Noooooo. The biggest screw up is going for this reboot in the first place and making it the way that it is right now while putting in little to no effort into it while also having little to no care and respect for the franchise, the fans, the new generation, etc. That is the biggest screw up here.
As for Gwen, no. Much like with Max, she's not replaceable either. Like with Paul Eiding portraying Max, no one has done a much better job with Gwen than Meagan Smith. Much like with Tara Strong to Ben and Paul Eiding to Max, Meagan Smith helped define Gwen as a character. She made Gwen stand out the most. She gave the best performance for Gwen. She helped make Gwen an iconic character. If they really cared for and respected the Ben 10 series, not only would Paul Eiding be voicing Max right now but there would've been a good chance that they would've brought back Meagan Smith as well instead of having Montserrat Hernandez portray her. Hernandez is ok but she has done nothing to define Gwen and make her stand out in a good way. Instead, Hernandez has contributed to making Gwen at her most unlikable state and helped portray Gwen at her worst. If I was in charge of the voicing department, I wouldn't even give Hernandez a chance and would immediately focus on getting Meagan Smith back on board. I would be fine with Hernandez voicing a different character but I wouldn't let her touch Gwen.
