Same level as Ultimatrix and Nemetrix to me, they're just basic alterations of the Omnitrix's name with a normal word (ultimate, nemesis, anti/antithesis)
Ben 10 Reboot Discussion Part 1: Season 2
-
I haven't watched a single episode of season 2 yet so what is the general consensus on it? is it a improvement over the first season?
-
@fangdanerd No, I watched the beginning of season 2 and then gave up on the show. It's the same as season 1.
-
@fangdanerd It's pretty much more of the same as season 1 and the season 2 finale, Innervasion, is pretty freakin mediocre and had all sorts of bad writing and inconsistencies. Like some of the stuff that Innervasion showcased was pretty baffling to me.
-
@fangdanerd
It's a bit of an improvement. There's continuity, more action compared to season 1, more meaningful moments between the Tennysons, and some tiny bit more drama: Ben starts doubting himself and realizing his powers can be dangerous, as well as that he knows nothing about the Omnitrix and that someone could turn all those cool powers into a weapon to hurt people. Also, some villains start targeting Ben directly instead of him "just being in their way", and some of the baddies are given more depth in comparison to season 1.
They've been building up the entire season to the finale where we got a new char! The finale explains the OEs btw -
Thanks for the replies everyone, I'll give it a try when I get some free time but I'll make sure to go in with my expectations low.

@fangdanerd You're welcome.

WE GOT A NAME FOR KEVIN'S WATCH
The AntiTrix! -
They could've thought of a better name for Kevin's watch. But regarding Kevin's watch, I think it's actually a pretty cool idea -- I just wish it wasn't being wasted in this reboot.
-
The Antitrix? Oh god. They really couldn't have thought of a better name to use?

Same level as Ultimatrix and Nemetrix to me, they're just basic alterations of the Omnitrix's name with a normal word (ultimate, nemesis, anti/antithesis)
Sometimes, being alone is the right way to find someone else
-
@ungrateful-wolf Still don't find it to be a good name for Kevin's Omnitrix. It sounds generic and not creative. Not like Kevin even needs an Omnitrix in the first place.
-
shrugs
-
@ungrateful-wolf I don't know. I just feel that the Antitrix sounds lame. Ultimatrix and Nemetrix sound a lot better.
-
@cooljay7 It is lame. I just posted this news onto the Ben 10 Reddit and those that have commented so far say that it's lame. There's a forum on Tv Tropes about the Ben 10 reboot and people on there say it's lame. Like I said, AntiTrix is a generic and uncreative name.
-
Happy New Year to you. I wonder when they aired new episodes of Ben 10 Reboot season 3 this year? Especially featuring the Forever Knights and Kevin 11
-
So far, things aren't looking promising for the whole kevin concept, but to be fair, we technically haven't even seen him in an episode yet. As bullshit as this is, we should at least wait until he appears in the show before we condemn this take on kevin.
-
i mean, who knows. maybe this might turn out better then expected, like if they give him a different set of aliens or something.
-
Seems Hot Shot is effectively an "evil Heatblast."
Wonder why he's different -
...and there goes that notion. kevin just has ben's powers.
FUCK. -
Man, i'm in bargaining phase right now. I really do hope that he at least has something, ANYTHING going for him. Like...i kinda want to think he might have a different set of aliens, and hot shot is an exception, but honestly, this seems unlikely. They're just gonna give him ben's powers, and maybe throw in an 11th alien. This is very upsetting, but once again, i'll try to not make a final judgement until he actively debuts in an episode.
