    @Mortie-10 Also, D.C. Network wanna point out this is not his idea. Its someone on UniversoBen10BR's idea.

  • I'm planning on making a new page where I cover my own thoughts on this matter of returning to the original continuity.

    @Tactical-Ochoa Are you against it?

  • @Tactical-Ochoa Are you against it?

    @cooljay7 No. More like if Ben 10 does return to the original continuity, this is how I think it should be approached.

    @Tactical-Ochoa Oh ok. Are you going to participate tomorrow?

  • @Tactical-Ochoa Oh ok. Are you going to participate tomorrow?

    @cooljay7 Maybe. I think that depends on when I get that page finished.

  • Almost time for hashtagging. Get ready those who want to participate.

    @Mortie-10 Wow, I didnt suspect that so many was going to participate. Twitter is full of #RestoreTheOmniverse hashtags right now. This is awesome!

    @Mortie-10 Wow, that's pretty cool! Unfortunately, I don't have a twitter. Otherwise I would have participated. Is the hashtag trending?

    @cooljay7 Must be! Twitter is overloaded with #RestoreTheOmniverse hashtags. The site lags right now and it almost crashes sometimes.

  • Here's my contribution to the #RestoreTheOmniverse hashtag that's trending today.
    https://ben10club.org/topic/511/returning-to-the-original-continuity

  • So how did everything go for today? Seems like that hashtag is getting used pretty often.

    @Tactical-Ochoa I dont know. My Twitter statistics only show trending things in Norway, not the US.

  • I think that it is a bit too soon and a bit too much though. I can't imagine what the writers, artists and everyone else who worked on the reboot will be feeling, seeing #RestoreTheOmniverse pop up all over Twitter one day after the end of the reboot. These are actual people working on the show who have actual feelings. Regardless of whether you liked the reboot or not, there are people who put their heart and soul into making the show to the best of their ability so far as the Network permits, and the first thing that people do is start booing it and calling for the original continuity again. I mean jeez, DJW is being harassed on Twitter by fans despite not even working on Ben 10 anymore! I can't imagine how deprecating it is to be in that position.

    I'm not calling you out Mortie, but I'm calling out the fans who think that it is ok to actively harass the creators over an animated series. Yes, constructive criticism and rational discussion with evidence is acceptable and if that leads to a better show being made eventually, that's fine. The #RestoreTheOmiverse movement isn't the problem, the problem is certain parts of the fandom taking it upon themselves to be d***heads to the creators just because they're triggered that their favourite childhood show isn't to their liking anymore, and that too literally right after the reboot has ended.

    I as much as anyone would love to see a brilliant Ben 10 series made eventually on HBO or whatever, but the fanbase shouldn't behave so immaturely to have one made (no wonder Ben 10 fans get such a bad name).

    @Tactical-Ochoa I saw a lot of people tweeting about it. It seemed like most of the tweets were coming from Brazil.

    @coreofthesun I think it's fine to use the hashtag as long as people are being respectful using it. Unfortunately, some people are spamming it which is not ok in my opinion.

    @cooljay7 I have no problems with people using the hashtag respectfully while tweeting as you said (even though I think that we should've waited for a while after the end of the reboot to start using it) - it's just that certain people are using it to be horrible to the people who work on Ben 10 and spamming it.

    @coreofthesun I have yet to see people misuse the hashtag but if that is happening, I'm not surprised. It's never an ok thing to harass people and it should stop.

    Other than that, something to take note of here is that stuff like this is a common occurrence in entertainment. When people don't like something, they express their criticism and disdain towards it and make demands like this regardless of how it makes the creators feel. If the creators feel like they're hurt over stuff like this, too bad. That's the reality of the entertainment industry. If you make a movie, show, video game, etc. that doesn't deliver, responses like this is what you get. Stuff like #RestoreTheOmniverse is a normal occurrence.

    Make a good product, everyone's happy. Make a bad product, stuff like this happens. There's no beating around the bush with this. The harassment and bad behavior needs to stop because that's going to get us nowhere here. Everything, or almost everything, else that's going on with #RestoreTheOmniverse is pretty much normal.

    @Mortie-10 Here's mine [image: 1619813967998-playlist.png] I believe that it is a really balanced playlist with a range of different aliens, none of whom are too overpowered meaning that they are all of equal importance in my eyes. People may question why I have Rath in there instead of a proper strength alien like Four Arms or Humungousaur for melee combat, but the reason is that the Appolexian transformation would help me be fearless in battle. I'm by nature a quiet person who isn't the first one to put their hand up for a fight and I'd definitely be terrified if I had to engage in hand to hand combat, and Rath's personality would help me overcome that. Or else I could just swap him with Four Arms. Buzzshock and Feedback are also argued to be similar but I think that Feedback is more general when it comes to energy absorption and, well, feedback and is my personal favourite out of all the absorbing aliens. Buzzshock however is more electricity-specific and has powers which Feedback doesn't which makes me have him on my roster. I tried my best not to include any "fusion" aliens like Echo Echo or Jetray (especially not Jetray) as I find that they're too overpowered. Big Chill is the exception here, but only really because I would be worried about using Ghostfreak because of the Ectonourite personality thing. I also tried to include my favourite canon designs of all of them. Granted Pesky Dust's design is a bit unrealistic for me even though I like the idea of the alien, but it's the only one we ever got.

    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.

    @Ebomnitrix Dwayne McDuffie didn't create Ben 10. The Man of Action team did, McDuffie had a very different vision for Ben 10 and retconned a lot of things for AF/UA that Man of Action had previously established in OS. I absolutely love Dwayne's work on Statick Shock and Justice League Unlimited (JLU is my favorite cartoon ever actually), but as other people here have said, I would have preferred a Ben 10 sequel by the hands of the original creators. My answer to the question: I think there is a reason why the OS is the most popular series, and that reason is because from AF onwards a big part of the audience lost interest (I'm not talking about the hardcore fans here, I'm talking about casual friends that I know that stopped watching Ben 10 after the OS). AF storylines were amazing, but the new aliens were not as interesting as the Original Series' ones (with a few exceptions), there were a lot of retcons, and especially, the writers were in love with Kevin and made him the main star of the show, stealing the spotlight from Ben sometimes, and it didn't work out.

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

    @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.
