    Yeah, it really does just come back to the merchandise here. It pretty much is the biggest reason why the reboot show was made. Although, didn't someone mention on here that Cartoon Network stopped releasing new toys by season 3?

    @Tactical-Ochoa I think that CN missed something major when they made the reboot or even back when they made AF. If the show is genuinely good, then merch sales will generally follow due to the franchise's popularity due to its quality as a series. Of course revenue from merch sales is important to help funding the show. Tt just became too much later on in the cranchise especially with a lot more humanoid alien designs for easier produced action figures (I mean seriously, Fasttrack did not need to exist other than that he was easier to make action figures of than XLR8)

    Obviously one of the main aims of the reboot was to promote merch sales but that doesn't seem to have worked as well as CN would've liked - so I think that we may get a genuinely good series next up no matter what form it takes (another reboot, new sequel to OS, Omniverse continuation, Ben 10k series, Ken 10 series etc.)

    @Tactical-Ochoa Yeah, the reboot has had no new toys for the past like 9-10 months. They never made figures for any of the new aliens after season 3.

    @cooljay7 Thanks. That's what I thought I recall here.

    Is it true that when omniverse ended Cartoon Network wasn't interested on continuing the franchise at all. It was the overseas CN stations that convinced them to make a Ben 10 Reboot ?

    @npzman Maybe. I don't think that Cartoon Network would want to ditch their most popular franchise forever but Ben 10 may have indeed gone on a longer hiatus had it not been for input from overseas, which is believable considering how CN treated Omniverse towards the end of its run.

    @cooljay7 this makes me wonder what the future of the series is from CNs point of view. They've tried to make the reboot to push their toy line which according to their recent lack of sales has not worked that well. Is it too much to hope that they will actually focus on making a good series over selling toys? I hope so.

    @Ebomnitrix You make some good points. Yeah, Ben 10 is more successful internationally (although, of course that would be the case since that you're comparing the United States to...well...the rest of the world so I don't find that to be a fair comparison) but that doesn't mean that we should get a show that is of mediocre, or at the very least lower, quality. Yes, they should try to take a different approach considering that it's a reboot but they also need to make sure that this show is an improvement over the previous shows as well. To me, there is no excuse for a show to be of lower quality and that includes the one that you gave. Even then, come on. We all know that Cartoon Network really had this show made just to sell more merchandise. This is Cartoon Network here being the Cartoon Network of today that so many are getting so sick and tired of. It wasn't made for the new generation of kids. It wasn't made for international viewers. That's really just bullshit. This show was really made to sell more merchandise. I also try not to look at things from a nostalgic perspective when discussing such topics like this as well. I make sure to look at things from a more...I guess "objective" is the right word...perspective. Or maybe "analytical" is a better word to use. Either way, I try not to look at things to nostalgically because I don't want to be biased. Even when compared to other recent Cartoon Network shows like Clarence, Steven Universe, Uncle Grandpa, the Powerpuff Girls reboot, We Bare Bears, etc, the Ben 10 reboot doesn't have a lot of substance to it because it's just so similar to those other shows. Even when I don't compare it to the original Ben 10 show or even the sequel shows, I don't find the Ben 10 reboot to be a good show; especially when it comes to the writing and direction. If the Ben 10 reboot really was a good show, I would be more than happy to praise it. However, the Ben 10 reboot is not a good show. At best, it's average but this is a mediocre show that, like I said, was made just to sell more merchandise.

    Well I mean... recognizing the Powerpuff Girl's pattern is supposed to kinda be like Ben 10's only done probably way different since this isn't a sequel series, its a full on fleshed reboot. I think they would have big or popular villains return in this show, MAYBE SOME FROM UAF, I don't know? Because I wouldn't be surprised if Dr. Animo did appear in this show, I'd just be surprised if he didn't.

    oh yeah i thought you meant they changed the reboot upgrade design. I mean every alien has been redesigned and as far as i can see this is one of the non drastic ones.
