  • I don't know about that. Like with Warners Bros, Toonami is connected with Cartoon Network. In fact, I think Cartoon Network even has control over Toonami. Hell, Cartoon Network even cancelled Toonami back in 2008 due to low ratings and likely even money issues. Now yeah, Adult Swim did revive and bring back Toonami in 2012 but Adult Swim is also a network that is a part of the Turner Broadcasting System or Time Warner, Inc. That means that Adult Swim is also connected to Cartoon Network as well. If Cartoon Network does screw up the Ben 10 reboot and Man of Action manages to get the Ben 10 series back in their hands, I would rather have the series not be with any network that's connected with Cartoon Network. That includes DC and Warners Bros, Adult Swim, and maybe even Toonami.

    @Tactical-Ochoa Yeah, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, and Toonami are all owned by Turner Broadcasting. If Ben 10 was to be moved to Toonami, I would think that the show would have much darker themes then. I think that this would be good for the show. I honestly would be happy if Ben 10 moved to Toonami. Its not like they haven't done it in the past, for example, Samurai Jack was originally on Cartoon Network and now the revival series is going to be on Toonami. Obviously, we can't judge if this move was good or not yet, because Samurai Jack (Season 5) has not premiered yet. Although, i have a feeling that this shift will be good for Samurai Jack, and it would also be good for Ben 10. Imagine a Samurai Jack in the style of some of the current Cartoon Network shows.

    @cooljay7 Last time we got a Ben 10 show with darker and more serious themes, we got Alien Force and Ultimate Alien and I already discussed many, if not all, of the various problems with those two shows and many Ben 10 fans had criticized those two shows for having those darker themes.

    @Tactical-Ochoa yeah, but it would be nice if Toonami made the series with dark episodes (which are my favorite episodes), I'm pretty sure they would allow balance in the show with dark and light like the original series with Alien Force elements. (older characters, character development, and character arks)

    @Rexfan1333 Having darker elements can work for Ben 10 just as long as it's done well. The Original Series has its fair share of doing some really dark moments and having some really dark elements. They were just balanced out well with the lighter moments and elements. Either way, as long as they're done well, darker elements in Ben 10 can work well for the series.

    @Tactical-Ochoa That's what I'm saying.

  • And while we are at it they should get Generator Rex on Toonami as well. Continue it or reboot it.

    @Tactical-Ochoa I honestly liked Alien Force and Ultimate Alien the best.

    @cooljay7 That's fine. If you like it, that's fine. Alien Force and Ultimate Alien still have many many various problems and flaws to them and I'm just pointing those problems and flaws out.

    @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.

    Its like they're trying to take what little Ben 10 fanbase has left, like legit we need a place to express our opinions and everything for the show. So if this site goes, then so does one of its groups of remaining fandom it has left, aside Ben10FanFiction.

    @Omni-Triforcer said in ben 10 toys: For the kids i want the omnitrix to come back since i know how much i wanted that damn toy when i was younger. I never bought Ben 10 toys and the only ben 10 merchandise i bought was the video games so hopefully they bring those back. Lol, same here. I always wonder how cool it was to have the Omnitrix als a toy. It looked so awesome when is was like 8 or 9. Ah Yeah those great child memerois

    I would make it a action superhero drama with comedic elements honestly, with a older Ben Tennyson dealing with school and being a hero type story. I would also want Studio Trigger to animate it.
