Original Concept
-
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.
