Ben 10 reboot discussion: Season 3
-
I AM SERIOUSLY FREAKED OUT
IS IT JUST ME OR
THERE WAS A LOT OF FORESHADOWING FOR THE KNIGHT
BECAUSE
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.Sometimes, being alone is the right way to find someone else

@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" -

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)Sometimes, being alone is the right way to find someone else

@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.
-
@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?
-
Which episodes? The ones we've been talking about?
I don't really know, they're on the app, but you can easily find them online now
