Addressing the Ben 10 Reboot Part 3: Show/Episode Discussions

[Ultimate OmniTri]

Why cant ben 10 be like this? I dont like martian manhunters design but everything else is terrific

[JrPhilgene]

@Omni-Triforcer yeah martian manhunter bothers me but everything else is great ben10 needs to follow this example

[Tactical Ochoa]

So I'll likely get onto making my review of the Ben 10 reboot episode, Need for Speed, some time tomorrow after I get off of work.

That sequence was horrific.
I mean yes! finally we're getting more of Upgrade (even though its kind of like Upgrade replaced Cannonbolt in usage)
But like.... WHAT'S WITH THAT SEQUENCE THOUGH
I mean I like the plot they're using because it reminds me of a similar plot in the original show, but what was with that transformation, why is it coming out of the Omnitrix and surrounding Upgrade? Ben should be changing, not morphing...
I'm just waiting for Grey Matter to take control of the gnomes or Wildvine to do something plant-like.

[Ebomnitrix]

So I just saw the clip for Don't Drop The Bass
I'm literally screaming for Lord Decibel, because DAFT PUNK SERIOUS EVIL VILLAIN WHO IS ACTUALLY GOING TO HURT PEOPLE... even though it won't happen but is VERY DANGEROUS ENOUGH TO DO SO. I am literally screaming right now...
AND THAT FOUR ARMS TRANSFORMATION, THAT LOOKED AMAZING since he finally got a proper sequence.
This episode I have REALLY HIGH hopes for.

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Ebomnitrix No thanks.

[Ebomnitrix]

Getting curious where the episodes are...

[JrPhilgene]

@Ebomnitrix ikr normally at least one episode would be out by now

[Tactical Ochoa]

@JrPhilgene We did get one episode back on Friday/Saturday. My guess is that the next episode won't be out till next weekend. What I'm questioning though is why we don't have the release dates for the second half of the first season yet.

[Ebomnitrix]

Well that's true but Need For Speed was the episode that aired along side whatever Steam is the World, I just expected to at least get this week's by around Sunday-maybe tomorrow?

[james]

@Tactical-Ochoa I think the series might go on a hiatus for some time.

[Tactical Ochoa]

@james That's likely to happen. The Powerpuff Girls reboot aired the 21st episode on June 23rd, 2016 and then didn't air another episode till September 1st, 2016.

[Ebomnitrix]

I think considering the schedule we have, we might go on hiatus after these two episodes.
At least that's what I'm assuming?

[Tactical Ochoa]

So I checked the schedule for the episodes of the Ben 10 reboot on Wikipedia and apparently the next two episodes did air in the UK already on December 3rd and 4th. Maybe we'll get those episodes soon this week after all. Maybe.

Also, on an additional note, I just discovered that Wikipedia has added the Critical Response section for the show. As quoted on the Ben 10 reboot Wikipedia page:

The reboot has received mostly negative reviews by critics and audiences alike. Criticism went to the reinventation of the titular character, childish tone, animation, lack of logic and lack of story arc.

I wish that Wikipedia would further expand on this, because it's not much and is pretty vague, but it's likely that they will later on. Yes, I understand that Wikipedia isn't the best source for information but I've seen the overall reception myself and this is pretty damn accurate. It does pretty much sum up the overall reception in a simple way.

Ben 10 (2016 TV series) - Wikipedia

(en.wikipedia.org)

I'm curious about the reception internationally though. I've been having trouble looking up the ratings of the Ben 10 reboot from other countries such as the UK, Germany, Australia, etc.

[Ben 10 Fan]

Huh Wait, Vilgax is returning?
Look at the Cast.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_10_(2016_TV_series)

[Tactical Ochoa]

@Ben-10-Fan Yeah, I don't know what's the deal with that. I'm skeptical about it. A while back I believe that page listed voice actors that were obviously not in the reboot voicing their respective characters. Like I said, Wikipedia isn't the best source for information as at least some of it could be incorrect and anyone could just go in and edit whatever they want to edit. Until Vilgax makes an actual appearance in this show, IF he even does, I'm taking in that one bit of info with a grain of salt.

[JrPhilgene]

@Tactical-Ochoa I believe that he will I mean a ben10 show isnt a ben10 show without vilgax he has appeared in every ben10 series so it would be next to impossible for him not not appear

[Tactical Ochoa]

@JrPhilgene True. Then again, today's Cartoon Network is today's Cartoon Network. It's likely that either Vilgax won't make an appearance in the reboot after all or he will but considering everything that the Ben 10 reboot offered, the team working on this reboot will most likely screw him up. I honestly would rather not have Vilgax in this reboot because of the latter possible outcome and he deserves a better Ben 10 show to be in. That's just me though.

[GoodVibes1999]

Can't wait to see the reboot's Brazilian dub to see if they are going to keep the original franchise's voice actors, like CN does to most reboots, or recast every single voice actor, like they did with Powerpuff Girls.
