  • Well, the roster I got is more or less because of the new opening we got, with said aliens I mentioned.
    Also, if Upgrade comes back, it won't be thanks to what happened in the season 2 finale. Upgrade's pod exploded in Omni-Tricked and his DNA merged with Ben's to become Glitch. If we want Upgrade back, we'll need a new viable Galvanic Mechamorph sample (and for Ben to stop toying with it so much)

  • I liked the idea of Kevin having his own Omnitrix and still do but I don't like the way they are handling it. When I first saw it I thought that Kevin would have his own unique aliens. I was fine with that. But they are being so lazy with this. Kevin's aliens are just anti versions of Ben's. Thats just lazy and dumb.

    @ungrateful-wolf The reboot actually has an overarching story now🤔🤔🤔

    THERE WAS A LOT OF FORESHADOWING FOR THE KNIGHT

    And he has been trying to use or recruit Ben for some evil plan. If we've been building up to this for the past two seasons...
    Please let Ben be okay, please have the evil jerk recruit him peacefully without torture...

  • i love the idea. I really do. But as this is the reboot, i don't think they were ever trying to make this an overarching story. it's merely a string of coincidences. We can't get our hopes up YET.

    @offbeatcat Agree. I highly doubt that any of these scenes were meant to foreshadow the Forever Knights.

  • 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.

    @ungrateful-wolf eh, fair point. i respect it.

    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"

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEXAscw_Res
    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.

  • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBEhLKea6S0
    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)

    @ungrateful-wolf thank you for the explanation

  • 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.

    It could be a very inaccurate retelling of the original series with a few twists and turns. The reboot show could be a thing long after Ben Prime's death or during Ben 10k where Ben wouldn't be cocky and would give information and stuff for the show.
  • Now that the Ben 10 Reboot is over what's next?

    @cooljay7 said in Now that the Ben 10 Reboot is over what's next?: https://twitter.com/DCNetwork23/status/1381750728323125248 Why can't we get #BringBackActionBen trending to show Cartoon Network and Man of Action that we want the next series to return to the original continuity? Apparently #RestoreTheOmniverse is already trending in some countries. Unfortunately, I don't have a twitter, otherwise I'd retweet the hashtag. I saw a screenshot that someone posted saying that there's almost 19k tweets using the hashtag.

    @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/

    @chronosapien234 Yes, true. The Circus Freaks were important with his plan. However, that's just because they're villainous henchmen characters. Even without Zombozo, the Circus Freaks still end up temporarily as the henchmen to another villain. You know, Ghostfreak. Pretty much almost every time we've seen the Circus Freaks, they are serving somebody. Mostly Zombozo. They're just villainous henchmen characters. They helped but they're not really all that important. In fact, I believe that there pretty much wouldn't be a difference at all if they aren't around. Why? Because, again, they're henchmen. They're also basic thugs, too. The Circus Freaks are not that important. Also, this is about Zombozo as a character and villain. What makes Zombozo who he is. Why he is like that. How he executes his plans. What makes Zombozo as Zombozo and he doesn't need the Circus Freaks for that. That is another out of the many problems with Omniverse and even the other sequels. The Original Series was able to do things that not many cartoon shows ever did. The Original Series did something new. The sequels were generic and typical cartoon shows. They barely did anything new if nothing new at all. That episode in Omniverse with Zombozo turning everyone in Bellwood into zombie clowns. If it was a nod to the Original Series, it failed at trying to delivery and do something unique and impressive. No instead, it ended up being another terrible episode due to Ben regaining his fear of clowns and one major plot hole that really ruined that episode, let alone the sheer cartoonish stupidity of it. Does nobody remember that Zombozo and the Circus Freaks are villains? Does nobody remember what they've done in the past? Oh, Ben regained his fear of clowns, huh? Thanks for making Ben conquering his fears in the Original Series pointless now, Cartoon Network. As for the plot hole, ask yourself this question? Those toy teeth that turn people into zombie clowns. Yeah, how is it that those teeth can bite through Plumber armor and hazmat suits let alone BASIC CLOTHING? They're plastic toy teeth. Is Plumber armor really that terrible and not that protective? I thought Stormtrooper armor was bad enough. Plumber armor is even worse. That one plot hole alone makes that entire episode freakin stupid and terrible. It shows how poor and lazy the writing, structuring, and designing of the sequels are. I know it's a cartoon show but again, it needs to make sense and needs to be understandable enough to work.
