Ben 10 Alien X-Tinction Review By D.C. Network

@Tactical-Ochoa Yeah I remember in the first season he was so clueless as to what was going on. I haven't watched any of the later season besides these specials but I'm assuming it's the same throughout.

@cooljay7 I believe I got up to mid season 3 before I gave up on the reboot show. From what I recall, there was barely anything or nothing that hinted that Max was a Plumber. And yeah, I also don't like this version of Max. He wasn't interesting. He felt so bland. Also, David Kaye did ok as Max but it just doesn't hold a candle to Paul Eiding.

@Tactical-Ochoa Yeah reboot Max is very boring.

My theory is that this version of Max wasn't a Plumber himself, but someone who was familiar with the organisation. For me he's way too goofy and irresponsible (well at least compared with original Max) to actually be a Plumber.

Still though, even if he only knew about them surely he would've tried to contact them when larger threats like Vilgax started to emerge in the reboot universe. Or at the least he could've told Ben and Gwen about them. Again, this detail seems more for fanservice than actual plot consistency.
