  • That's a BIG string of coincidences if you ask me.

    @ungrateful-wolf Yes, but again, the episodes constantly love to reuse ideas. I think you MIGHT be onto something, but the odds aren't exactly in your favor. It's a "We'll see" thing.

    It's exactly what I mean, "we'll see".
    This is what I find fun whenever there's a new show, theorizing and finding a pattern allows for more suspense and potential surprise for the fans, even if it doesn't go anywhere.

    Cartoon network has been posting some ben 10 footage, which i'll share here if there's anything worth noting. Here's our first look at this show's take on humongosaur, as well as "wreckingbolt"

    This snippet is worth sharing, as it shows us Rath, and it mentions a bit of what slapback does, which seems to be basically a glorified ditto. Also, it's a little strange shock rock is still here, as he is a major security risk, but he's part of the omnitrix.

    Well...this is our new opening, and presumably, our new set of aliens.
    This isn't a very good lineup.

    Shock Rock was a major security risk because he kept sending signals to his planet.
    The reason why he did that was because of an unforeseen consequence when Glitch used his pod to repair the Omnitrix.
    When the Omnitrix got upgraded, the damage that was done was caused by an excessive energy charge, which Shock Rock's pod allowed to absorb. Shock Rock's pod was charged with the excessive energy from the entirety of the Omnitrix, meaning the Fulmini pod had the energy of the Omnitrix's alien pods too. That's why Ben's aliens had the Omni-Enhancements in season 2. And of course, since we all know the Omnitrix can leave a signal across space (as the past shows showed), Shock Rock's pod sent signals, and in return it made him more vulnerable to Override's messages and control.
    Now that the Omnitrix got rebooted, Shock Rock's DNA doesn't have the excessive charge from the Omnitrix anymore (hence why we don't see the Omni-Enhancements anymore). Shock Rock's link to Fulmas and Override is broken, Ben can use him as he wishes to (man, this kid handles being turned into a mind slave better than I can handle school. Jk of course :P)
    Shock Rock isn't a danger anymore now, Ben won't have to worry about losing a powerhouse like Gax (but he did lose a smart guy, a fresh guy and a natural guy. RIP my bois)

    so, where's glitch? is it just me, or did the writers actually forget about him?

    With glitch just vanishing, i think i've figured out how they write stuff. They make a bunch of episodes with the set of aliens given to them. they create a bunch of episodes. then they actually write a season finale where they can design a new omnitrix to sell.

    in fact, they make episodes for the new season BEFORE a season even ends. that's how we get all these leaks of future episodes. And as the toy fair comes before any marketing for the season, this shows where priorities are.

    @offbeatcat Yeah, all of that sounds about right.

    @tactical-ochoa while i don't exactly approve of it, i will admit it's not a bad marketing strategy, and does keep hiatuses fairly short...

    @offbeatcat I don't know how they're going to be aired. Normally it should be weekly. As for when, I guess they'll start airing in the US on January 12 at least according to Wikipedia. If not January 12, then maybe February 11.

    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.

    @Rexfan1333 You mentioned the MCU, and I actually had an idea to write a fanfic about Ben 10 in the MCU. The Omnitrix would have one of the infinity stones (just like Loki's Scepter had one) and Gwen would be an Inhuman (if you watch Agents of SHIELD, which is also set in the MCU, you will understand what I'm talking about). I thought about starting from Age of Ultron, replacing Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch with Ben and Gwen. But ultimately I decided to write Watch Boy & Lucky Girl because mixing MCU characters would require more skill and talent than I have at the moment. But as I said, I'm talking about real possibilities, and unfortunately, I don't think Ben 10 with Marvel is a realistic possibility. And of course, in my comic book reboot idea Ben and Gwen wouldn't be kids, they would be at least teenagers.

    Wow, I had read up on how the game is really glitchy and filled with technical issues. It's been pissing some people off.

    @GoodVibes1999 I'm not a big fan either, but with the animation style and great writing from Greg Wiseman back, it would be a true masterpiece.

    So according to this link by MoviePilot.com that lists 10 facts about Ben 10, Joel Silver might not be involved with the Ben 10 live action movie anymore. What we already know is that in 2011, Joel Silver was called in to produce the Ben 10 movie under Warners Bros and Dark Castle Entertainment while in 2012 it was reported that Albert Torres was writing the script. This we already know. What I think we don't know was that Joel Silvers left Warners Bros in 2013 and now works at Universal Studios. Ryan Engle was also brought in to continue working on Torres' script, which I believe means that Torres is no longer working on the Ben 10 movie. MoviePilot states that the Ben 10 movie might be made by either Warners Bros or Universal Studios but I doubt that Universal Studios is going to be working on Ben 10 simply because Ben 10 is owned by Cartoon Network, who is owned by Time Warner and Turner Broadcasting, who also owns Warners Bros and Dark Castle Entertainment. Universal Studios is owned by Comcast and NBCUniversal and not Time Warner and Turner Broadcasting. Cartoon Network is not going to hand this movie to Universal Studios but instead they would hand it to Warners Bros because of this. Therefore, Joel Silver is not involved with the Ben 10 live action movie. Whether or not anyone here knows about this already, I'm posting this here anyways for those who don't know about this. http://moviepilot.com/posts/3900108 Joel Silvers leaves Warners Bros: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/warner-bros-joel-silver-317552 http://news.doddleme.com/news-room/warner-bros-joel-silver-part-ways-after-25-years/ http://flickdirect.com/news/3854/joel-silver-producer-of-the-matrix-leaves-warner-bros/article.ashx Ryan Engle working on the Ben 10 Movie: http://www.slashfilm.com/live-action-ben-10-adaptation-adds-black-list-screenwriter-ryan-engle/
