@ebomnitrix yes
Here is a clip from season 2
''What Happens When The Best You Can Do Just Isn't Enough''
''You Get An Upgrade''
i'm gonna be honest. This looks pretty promising. It kinda feels a bit like the old episodes from the original. Wish we could get a better understanding of how omni enhance worked though. It felt strange to see ben go for grey matter, but then again, we don't have context.
@Andrew42 By the clip, it seems Ben is trying to be responsible so Grandpa Max will allow him to have a pet (the Cadobbit - which he is hiding), so Ben thinks it's best to use a smart alien instead of brute force to show he's responsible and mature.
I would also like the know more about the Omni-Enhance. I have a feeling it's connected to Ben's 11th alien.
@james From what I can tell here with this clip along with everything else that we know about season 2, it's like what I said before. This look like it's just going to be more of the same as what we got in season 1.
@Andrew42 How does this even feel like what we got from the original show?

I don't think the 11 minute episode format is working well for Ben 10. The sudden Omni-Enhance alien just doesn't appear out of nowhere without explanation.
Can't wait to see more new Ben 10 reboot episode c;ips "Out To Launch" and " Can I Keep Him?" when they aired this week. Keep 'em coming LOL
@tactical-ochoa He feels like a 10 year old. The way he approaches things. How he acts and talks. Since you're an adult critic, you've probably overlooked that detail. Ben's personality really doesn't feel out of place to me. He hides the Cadobbit under a BLANKET. I used to do that all the time when i was hiding things from my family. Point is, he's just a kid who found a watch that turns him into aliens. Not a mature adult.
Nobody gets to choose how it happens.
@ultraalien I think this clip is from episode 2, "Can I Keep It". The first episode is actually "Out to Launch", perhaps they'll explain the Omni-Enhance there (I hope they do, otherwise I agree, it will be too random and sudden)
I had a friend who watched it in the UK.
He said Episode 1 does explain and that when Vilgax comes back, he does have a bit of a lava scar on his face. Apparently Ben does the Omni-Enhancement by accident when he's Diamondhead, he didn't know how he triggered it but yeah.
Aliens: XLR8, Grey Matter (sequence), Diamondhead (sequence, Enhanced)
Episode 2 is just another Dr. Animo episode but with Ben wanting to keep a Catdobbit (Cat+Dog+Rabbit) as a pet (before finding out it's Animo's), but Ben has pet allergies in this series.
Aliens: Four Arms, Heatblast, Wildvine (x2), Diamondhead, XLR8, Grey Matter (sequence, Enhanced)
Also apparently Dr. Animo has been a big part of being a main villain in this series, as this episode will further go into detail with it, especially since later this week there's a team up.
It's Action Time!
@ebomnitrix Intriguing. Is your friend a reliable source?
He literally watched it on TV, and lives in the UK, and I was just talking to him in a Discord server. The information is also now on the Ben 10 Wikia so....
@ebomnitrix Does your friend know anything about the 11th alien that was teased in the end of Season 1? I think it may be connected to the Omni-Enhance
The reboot episodes sound promising. Especially Animomorphosis. I've always wanted to see vilgax and Dr. Animo team up. Plus, who knows what animo could do with alien dna. And if they're meddling with the omnitrix, ben could accidentally turn into the new alien or something.
So Alien 11 didn't show up.
Gwen and Max however don't see the Omni-Enhancement until the Grey Matter clip which is Episode 2, Ben's first time using it was accidentally as Diamondhead when he fought Vilgax. They also didn't establish the Omni-Enhancement to them, so it leads to tomorrow if they're going to ask about it or not.
It's Action Time!
@ebomnitrix if they don't ask or even acknowledge it as something new, the reboot's second season probably won't do well.
Remember Ben 10 is trying to be episodic about their adventures, if you're expecting every episode to be about plot, then you're asking for too much in a Ben 10 series.
If you want a plot based Ben 10 series go back and watch UAF, because OS, OV and the Reboot are mostly episodic and the new show is puzzle piecing.
For a second season, its already off to a great start, so just stay tuned and expect Season 2 to be like Season 1 but just a little bit better. If any of you were expecting more after Omni-Tricked, I'm sorry to disappoint you but if the Omni-Enhancements don't do it for you, then the rest of the show won't then.
It's Action Time!
@ebomnitrix i don't want an overarching story, i just want someone like gwen to be like: How'd you do that?
The first episode actually explains it, Gwen's watching the fight scene.
Some kid uploaded 9 of 11 minutes of it so enjoy!:

I'll be honest. I was pleased with what i saw. The armored diamond head was awesome, and vilgax was pretty cool. The "tan line" was weird to look at, but it was bit of continuity to the show, so that's nice. I felt the omnitrix timed out too fast, but in retrospect, it's always been unpredictable. Ben's actions didn't feel out of place, though i feel like he should've gone for stinkfly instead of XLR8. so yeah, those are my first impressions. Don't worry @Tactical-Ochoa. You can still dislike it and say its not as good as the original.
