  • It’s official: Netflix has completed its massive acquisition of Warner Bros.'s film & TV assets, and that means Ben 10, Cartoon Network, and the entire Ben 10 universe now belong to Netflix.

    Will we finally get a proper Ben 10 reboot or continuation?

    • Live-action movie or series on the table at last?
    • Higher budgets, better animation, global roll-out?
    • Are the old seasons coming back to Netflix permanently?

    Drop your hype, your fears, your dream projects, and your wild theories. The Omnitrix is now in Netflix’s hands; time to talk about where the franchise goes from here!

  • I was actually curious if that's really a thing. If Netflix really does now own Ben 10, I don't know at the moment what to make of it. I'm rather skeptical of them and I don't think I have much trust in Netflix. I guess we'll see what happens. Maybe something good will come or maybe not.

    In the past I would have said continue where Omniverse left off, but now, at this point, anything new for Ben 10 would be great.

    Personally I am not so keen for a live-action Ben 10 show. They tried it with Alien Swarm and Race Against Time, and it wasn't for me. Even I would be more interested in a revival and a continuation of the 2016 reboot than a live-action Ben 10. But I will take something rather than nothing.

    I'm not looking forward to what Netflix is going to do to WB Games. https://kotaku.com/netflix-warner-bros-games-batman-harry-potter-deal-2000651695

    Why does Warner Bros want to even sell the entire company? They merged up so many times and it is difficult to be caught up with what's going on with WB.

  • @admin I am not keen on or eager for Paramount to buy Warner Bros, even if they claim they'll keep films in theatres. I don't believe David Ellison's bogus promise that they'll bring 30 films a year, especially since Paramount is pulling an upcoming Avatar animated film from theatres to make it a streaming exclusive on Paramount Plus.

    I am also not keen on CNN becoming a MAGA news network. I would rather Warner Bros just pay off their own debts and remain independently owned. If they have to sell, maybe sell parts of WB to new owners. Sell Cartoon Network so Ben 10 can flourish and not be held back by Warner Bros's other priorities. Sell WB Games to people interested in that space who can continue the work. WB Games should also sell TT Games so they can stop making these LEGO games and maybe return to making new Crash Bandicoot games.

    I am not someone well versed in this topic to be honest, but this is my take on it.

    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.

    @Ebomnitrix said in Favorite Ben 10 Opening?: @Omni-Triforcer You're right Parry Grimp is actually known for making short songs that can last like.... 30 seconds. And he sang the Omniverse songs....although I don't know who sang for Galactic Monsters, but yeah. Galactic monsters sounds like they just did a bit of audio tuning and voice modulation it doesnt sound to me like they changed the singers but thats just my opinion,

    @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.
