    THE KNIGHT IS GATHERING SUPERPOWERED KIDS FOR AN ARMY, IT'S LIKE THE ROOTERS AND THE NEGATIVE 10

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

  • I AM SERIOUSLY FREAKED OUT
    IS IT JUST ME OR
    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.

  • 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.

  • @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...

  • This post is deleted!
  • Does anyone know what the airing schedule for these episodes is?

    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.

    @Rexfan1333 That's another thing. I don't hate the reboot's art style either. I just don't like it and I just give it a lot of criticism. With Cartoon Network, we're now at a point where this is just unacceptable because like you said, Cartoon Network's reasons for wanting to go for these types of art styles is bullshit and they and their artists and animators are really just being cheap and lazy here. Like I said, it likely won't even matter that much to many if the story and writing is at least going to be good because the artwork and animation quality alone can turn many viewers away from the reboot. Having a strong story and writing is very much important but so is having some great quality artwork and animations. Artwork that can set the stage for the settings, environments, characters, etc. Animations that can deliver on many of the scenes that we're going to be seeing here. How are viewers supposed to be able to get invested with Ben developing as a character when he looks like crap? How are viewers going to be able to get invested in Ben's aliens if at least some of them look ugly and/or don't even look that much alien at all? How are any of the action scenes going to be good and memorable if the animation quality doesn't back them up? Yes I know we haven't seen any action scenes yet. It's just a point that I want to make. Overall, if they're going to have a strong and memorable story, setting, characters, scenes, etc, then they need to be able to be backed up well by a good quality art style and animations. Otherwise, there would be a chance that things can fall flat pretty badly. Just imagine Young Justice and Legend of Korra looking like the Ben 10 reboot or the PPG reboot or Teen Titans Go! or Clarence. Imagine Young Justice and Legend of Korra having the lower quality animation work that Cartoon Network Studios is being more known of making. Even with a strong story and characters and all that stuff, those two shows would fall flat pretty badly. Imagine the Ben 10 Original Series having this type of art style and/or this quality of animations. We would more likely not be looking up to the Original Series as much as we did back then and still do and Ben 10 would more likely not have been able to be as successful as it was back then. Omniverse had some good story aspects and moments to it but the art style and animation quality doesn't help to hold those good story aspects and moments up that well. I previously thought that story, writing, characters and all that stuff are more important than visuals but really the visuals of a show, movie, video game, etc are really just as equally important. Everything needs to be able to work and blend together seamlessly and very well. If one of those seams hits a snag and breaks, chances are that everything can fall apart either quickly or eventually. Just something that I want to point out. A strong story is very much important but just as equally so does that apply to having strong visuals and animations as well.

    id say that new york toy fair is a pretty safe bet
