  • What do you think? I honsetly think Toonami would treat Ben 10 better than Cartoon Network.

    @Rexfan1333 I couldn't agree more. It would be amazing if Ben 10 would move to Toonami.

  • I agree Tom and Sara would treat ben 10 better than cartoonetwork

    @KorseBLI-ND Yeah, they treated Sym Bionic Titan way better than CN ever did.

    @cooljay7 Yeah, MOA should give it some thought if CN screws everything up.

  • 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.

    @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.

    Say I wonder if they're gonna do a Ben 10 spin off cartoon series featuring Grandpa Max Tennyson how his life on the road by himself without his Grandkids. And hanging with his old former Plumber partners or friends. So what do you think of my idea?

    So according to this link by MoviePilot.com that lists 10 facts about Ben 10, Joel Silver might not be involved with the Ben 10 live action movie anymore. What we already know is that in 2011, Joel Silver was called in to produce the Ben 10 movie under Warners Bros and Dark Castle Entertainment while in 2012 it was reported that Albert Torres was writing the script. This we already know. What I think we don't know was that Joel Silvers left Warners Bros in 2013 and now works at Universal Studios. Ryan Engle was also brought in to continue working on Torres' script, which I believe means that Torres is no longer working on the Ben 10 movie. MoviePilot states that the Ben 10 movie might be made by either Warners Bros or Universal Studios but I doubt that Universal Studios is going to be working on Ben 10 simply because Ben 10 is owned by Cartoon Network, who is owned by Time Warner and Turner Broadcasting, who also owns Warners Bros and Dark Castle Entertainment. Universal Studios is owned by Comcast and NBCUniversal and not Time Warner and Turner Broadcasting. Cartoon Network is not going to hand this movie to Universal Studios but instead they would hand it to Warners Bros because of this. Therefore, Joel Silver is not involved with the Ben 10 live action movie. Whether or not anyone here knows about this already, I'm posting this here anyways for those who don't know about this. http://moviepilot.com/posts/3900108 Joel Silvers leaves Warners Bros: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/warner-bros-joel-silver-317552 http://news.doddleme.com/news-room/warner-bros-joel-silver-part-ways-after-25-years/ http://flickdirect.com/news/3854/joel-silver-producer-of-the-matrix-leaves-warner-bros/article.ashx Ryan Engle working on the Ben 10 Movie: http://www.slashfilm.com/live-action-ben-10-adaptation-adds-black-list-screenwriter-ryan-engle/

    @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.
