Please Don't Make The Reboot Like This

@Hawk-Kawaii Thanks for the video hope you should make many more of them

@Tactical-Ochoa Its probably gonna take me a while to sift through that big chunk of text, but I would, for the moment being, like to point out that though every one of CN's shows is indeed made by CN and aired on CN, every show (even if some share execs) has a completely different production team. There are probably 10 to 12 shows of theirs that are produced in-house, meaning at the main studio, and all others are produced in other studios, all by separate individual production teams that have nothing more to do with each other than the fact that they work for CN.
So yeah, it kind of is a little unreasonable to be comparing a show you haven't seen yet to two other reboots that air on the same network with completely different production teams, one of which is not produced in the same studio as the other two. Although since all three are reboots of past CN properties involving superheroes and meeting mixed reactions, it's easy to understand the misconception.
I'd also like to point out that, since I've released the video, a lot more people have been coming out of the woodworks in favor of giving the reboot a positive chance and are actually pretty hyped. The point of the video was to kind of help people see the bright side of things, and I'm not quite sure you're speaking on behalf of as many people as you might think you are in terms of people being super fed up and being on the verge of boycotting CN.
I mean, I completely understand your hesitance towards a lot of things revolving around the reboot, and those feelings are entirely valid. However, you might be looking a little too hard into some things here.
Really hoping you'll give it a chance in the long run and that you'll grow to enjoy it in the future. Lots of love and hard work goes into it, and you might find you'll enjoy yourself a lot better if you loosen up and give something like this a try.
Here's to change!

@Hawk-Kawaii Again, just providing an explanation about those that you're arguing towards. In my opinion, you tackled more of the "what" in your video than the "why." Me, I just try to figure out the why. To understand where these people are coming from. I could be wrong about that aspect with your video but still, I try to at least understand both sides of the argument before I pick a side. That's just me though.
I looked at your video and your posts on Deviant-Art and Tumblr and you did manage to achieve something with your video but I took a closer look and really, you only managed to scratch the surface here. At least at the time that this comment got posted. This video also got shared on a couple other discussion sites such as the Ben 10 Club but only a couple more people further agree with you. You also have to take into account of those that already decided to have an open mind and/or are already excited for the Ben 10 reboot that watched your video. There's is already a lot of people that are looking forward to the Ben 10 reboot. You also have to take into account of those that watched your video but don't agree with you as well. Therefore, there is a likelihood that you managed to convince less than the amount that you think. When I say that many, if not most, people are sick and tired and fed up with CN and what they've been doing in recent years, that very much is the case. I've seen videos that show more concern and criticism towards the Ben 10 reboot with thousands and tens of thousands of views, and many many people showing their distaste towards the Ben 10 reboot. Videos that just provide coverage on the Ben 10 reboot have a lot of people showing their distaste. This is just one of the many examples where I looked that shows just how many view the reboot in a negative way and it's not just Ben 10 either. In fact, let me say this again. 20 million viewers left CN in the last 7 to 8 years. There are many factors that influence this massive drop but people getting fed up with CN dropping the quality of their shows is one of the major factors that influenced this drop. Either way, yes there are indeed many many fans and viewers out there that are against the Ben 10 reboot and CN's current way of running their network. I'm not saying that you did nothing because you did indeed make an achievement here with your video but, again, you only managed to scratch the surface here. You're not a big channel and by the looks of it you just recently made a channel at least a month ago and I understand that but if you really want to make a change here with that video, you're really going to have to give one hell of a message and get that message to spread around the internet like a wildfire because this video isn't going to be enough. Again, you did manage to make an achievement with this video and I congratulate you for that.
Regardless of how much crap I give the Ben 10 reboot, I still hope that it will turn out good. I still hope that I'm wrong here. I really do want the Ben 10 reboot to be good. I show a lot of criticism because I care a lot about this series. Ben 10 is one of the many franchises that defined my childhood and I don't want to see it turn into crap. However, I just rather set my expectations based on what I researched about the series, the team working on the series, and Cartoon Network's history themselves. History sings a different tune here for the Ben 10 reboot. So for now at the moment, I just don't expect much out of this reboot. For the most part, this reboot just doesn't look like it's going to be good. I will say this though. If the Ben 10 reboot does turn out to be good, I will be very much happy about that. I'll be very much happy that I was proven wrong. In fact, if the Ben 10 reboot does turn out to be really good or maybe even great, I will be one of the first here to say that it is a really good show and that I was wrong about what I said about the Ben 10 reboot. That I will definitely come out and say here about the Ben 10 reboot.

@Tactical-Ochoa so basically my argument is invalid because I literally JUST started up on YouTube and I'm not going with the norm of criticizing something that people claim to know a bunch about but have seen exactly zero seconds of footage of? Gotcha
When I've posted on tumblr that I'm proud of what I've done with my video, I'm not claiming to be super famous or successful or popular or that I have a huge influence or following or something. I literally JUST started the channel and I'm working super hard balancing work and school and putting that channel together so it actually has consistent content. I recognize there are a lot more popular and successful channels that have done videos with negative inclinations towards the show they also have not seen and that I'm nowhere near them at the moment, but obviously my goal was to reach that level, and it is slowly climbing.
I was super hesitant about making this video because I recognize there are and always will be people who will go out of their way to find negative things to nitpick about in any spectrum, and you and others seem to embody that kind of stubbornness. And that's fine, you don't have to like it. Nobody's forcing you to, I'm certainly not.
Alternatively, what making it made me realize was that amidst those people that are unwilling to budge or be positive about it, there are much more than expected who are open-minded and willing to give it a fair chance and make a value judgement about it based on its actual content and not on track records or massive assumptions.
I realize the status quo, but there are two things one can choose to do when faced with it; either they accept it and do nothing, or they decide to make a change even if they are alone in that endeavor, and hope others will stand by their side.
I don't have tens and thousands of viewers, but when people who work on it have shared it and told me they appreciate what I do to try and help, and people who were once as skeptic as you message me and tell me their mind is changed, that's the only true success I could hope for.
Hope you change your view on things in the future. It's better on the bright side man.

@Hawk-Kawaii Eh, I though about that second paragraph earlier that I typed and it was pretty iffy. I don't know, I guess I was trying to satisfy both sides of the argument or something of the likes but that's a task that's easier said than done.

So I found another episode of the PPG reboot, which is a spoof of the Hangover movie. Oh wait, this one is special though because this episode has Mojo Jojo in it...doing possibly the most stupid evil plan he's ever done and that's disguising himself as a pizza delivery boy and delivering pizza to the PPG. Go ahead and guess how that goes.
If anyone is interested, here is the link to the episode.

@Ben-10-Fan Wow, even got the episode after the one that I mentioned...which I couldn't even bear to watch the entire thing because it felt like I was watching an acid trip; especially at the final act. I also heard there's a twerking scene in the PPG reboot?
-
@Tactical-Ochoa Wow?! a twerking scene in a show for kids (and adults if they want to see it) in episode 4? Wow soon you'll probably see on you tube or whatever that this episode will banish because it is not so good for the little kids...
-
@Ben-10-Fan Well, that's what I heard. I don't know if it was in episode 4 because I skipped through that episode because, again, I couldn't even stand it but yeah I heard on Twitter that there's a twerking scene or moment or something in the PPG reboot show. I don't know. Maybe I'll go looking around in the episodes to see if there is a scene like that or not. I'm guessing that it's most likely in the 4th episode.
-
@Ben-10-Fan Yup, there's a twerking scene...in episode 4 of the PPG reboot...and it's disturbing as all hell...even though it only lasts for like a few seconds.

@Tactical-Ochoa honestly, I liked it. Yeah it has problems (the voices takes time to get use to, but I found it not too noticeable) , but it wasn't god awful in my opinion.
