  • So Joe Kelley has confirmed that ben 10 was once different then a show about aliens he says "We had an idea about a kid who could switch places with other versions of himself from parallel universes where the conditions on Earth led to strange evolution - water-breather, vampire, etc.
    This was too complicated an idea to explain to a young child, and after much development, aliens came into play instead of parallel Bens - though Duncan drew a ton of Bens from other universes!" What do you guys think of this?

    @Omni-Triforcer Yeah, glad we got the aliens concept instead.

  • Yeah but you have to wonder what it wouldve been like if we got a show like that.

    @Omni-Triforcer Yeah, it's an interesting concept. Maybe it could've worked if done right. Still, I agree that it would just be too complicating for young child viewers.

  • Yeah but me not being a kid would be fine seeing it. It feels like something the comics would do but would be to hard for kids to understand.

    @Omni-Triforcer Oh yeah. Probably better in comics.

    @Tactical-Ochoa Actually, maybe some of this original concept was used for Omniverse. Honestly, though, while the whole alternate universes concept and the different Bens was pretty cool, I felt that Cartoon Network overdid it and made it too complicating or something and/or, to me, it just felt like that having a main focus on the different timelines just doesn't fit the Ben 10 series.

    I guess Omniverse could be an example of proof that the original concept just likely wouldn't work for the Ben 10 series.

    Wyatt isn’t exactly that reliable when it comes to lore and often contradicts himself. So yes, I would not believe everything that he says. I appreciate him for being one of the only people still willing to answer questions about the franchise but he can come off as a jerk sometimes. As for the topic...ngl I would absolutely love a new sequel to the original series to do it the justice it deserves in terms of continuity and tone. I wouldn’t mind an Omniverse sequel or Ken 10 so long as they are engaging shows, and an Omniverse sequel to give some kind of conclusion to the original timeline would be the most logical option I suppose

    Why did I even say hyped at all When it's out I will watch it. If it ends up good then great I guess. It really gonna be my first time watching the reboot outside the first few episodes. If the execution of the original characters turns out to be terrible, well honestly I couldn't expect less from them.

    Nope, the reboot is all we're getting for now. And I'm fine with it.
  • The Reboot taking place AFTER the original series?

    @GoodVibes1999 @Omni-Triforcer The Ben 10 reboot is really just making the same mistake that the PPG reboot made where it relies on past knowledge with the other shows to understand a lot of what's going on. If you're going to make a reboot designed to introduce a new audience to the series, make sure that you reintroduce everything to said new audience instead of making a reboot that requires the new audience to have to go watch the previous shows just so they know know what's going on in the reboot.
