@jondennison72 I don't think that's something that Cartoon Network would realistically do, but you're always free to write up a fanfic about it.

Slight update here. Duncan Rouleau posted that there's nothing to report yet on Ben 10 due to Cartoon Network going through a lot of financial restructuring.

Yesterday, Mateusboga completed another commission for me, this time centered on Michelle Hallam from the Ben 10 fanfic series, Little Moments. Michelle is a Lebanese-American and best friend to Gwen Tennyson along with being the daughter of a US Army colonel, who commands a new military base in Bellwood. We went with two versions here. One where the hair beads that she has have Charms of Bezel-inspired symbols and the other with Norse symbols. The hair beads were a gift from Gwen, who also attempted to give the beads magical effects. This commission is meant to emulate Michelle in the most recent chapters of Breaking Point Rebooted.

Once again, I think the artist did a great job with this. He also posted the zoomed up version of this artwork on his Twitter account. Feel free to check out his other stuff if anyone is interested. I've also updated my gallery of all the commissions that he did for me. Feel free to check out the links below.

@NEVERAGAIN Hey, I'm just trying to say to approach this with some caution. You're free to be excited about this if you want. Just don't get too excited and don't let your expectations get too high. Just in case things don't go the way we hope for them to go.

I suggest taking this with a grain of salt for the time being. Seems like there are talks and ideas being thrown around. DeMarco also deleted the tweet that Ben 10 News is referring to. Better to not get excited yet until an official confirmation is made.

Haven't posted an update in a good while. shadows59 and Erico released the fifteenth chapter of Breaking Point Rebooted. With the arc of that section of the story now complete, the story will be going back on hiatus as the writers work on the next arc of the story.

Chapter 10 of Breaking Point Rebooted is finally out now.

A new chapter for Breaking Point Rebooted will be released this Friday.

@laggamer20xx It's just not a ride that I'm interested in, so there's not really anything that I can say that's good and bad.

@laggamer20xx Nah. I don't really go to theme parks much. I'm also not a fan of the reboot show so it's not a ride I'm interested in checking out anyways.

Eh, it was alright.

Chapter 3 was released a week ago, bringing Peacekeeper's Oath to a conclusion. It's quite interesting seeing the Forever Knights be portrayed in a more heroic light. Kind of makes it seem tragic that they would eventually fall apart and become a villainous faction by the time Ben gets the Omnitrix.

@cooljay7 Don't know. Haven't heard hide nor hair of it since. It probably was cancelled. Likely due to all the Warner Bros Discovery mess and nonsense going on. Or maybe it wasn't cancelled and is still in development. Who knows.

@npzman There kind of is something like that in Flashpoint Paradox. Due to the timeline being changed, Bruce is the one that's killed instead of his parents. This results in his father becoming Batman and his mother becoming the Joker.

@laggamer20xx Link took me to a pop-up on YouTube saying that the clip is unavailable.

@Scholmes One assumption I have is that Cartoon Network, for some reason, thinks that kids won't enjoy the series or relate to Ben if he's an adult, even though kids like superheroes like Superman, Captain America, Wonder Woman, etc. There's also pointing out that a Ben 10,000 series could also involve Ben's son, Ken, which could make keeping Ben a kid feel even more unnecessary.

There's also pointing out that the Original Series continued to be the most popular and successful show in the franchise and Cartoon Network was trying to recapture that popularity and success, even to the point of making an unnecessary rehash of the original show.

Chapter 2 released yesterday. If anyone is interested in reading it, just use the link above.

Yesterday, the first chapter of a new side story for the Little Moments series was released. It follows the Forever Knights and a new character that's an agent of the Galactic Enforcers. I'm interested to see where this story goes.

If anyone is interested in checking it out, here's the link.

I came across this bit of info recently and it's interesting that this was a thing. Staff members that worked on UAF being so dead set on the Ben/Julie relationship that they resort to this. Unsurprisingly, that little stunt didn't work, because of course it wouldn't. Of course, Cartoon Network wouldn't care.

Derrick J. Wyatt was right though. I get that Omniverse breaking up Ben and Julie was done poorly, but it really was for the best. The set up for their relationship was rushed and Ben and Julie's relationship really did have little to no chemistry. Julie was not interesting and engaging and Ben was a jerk and an idiot to her. It felt like an unnecessary relationship done just for the sake of having Ben be in a relationship. Julie's purpose was to be a satellite love interest to Ben and it's the UAF crew's fault for not making that relationship good and well-executed.

If people like the Ben/Julie relationship, more power to them. It still baffles me though that people willingly support it and were so up in arms over their break up. Ben and Julie breaking up really was for the better and if anything, it would've been better if Ben wasn't in a relationship in UAF to begin with.

Granted, it's not like Ben and Kai's relationship was any better though. That relationship had its own set of caveats that made it terrible as well. I certainly think that Derrick J. Wyatt and the Omniverse crew were in the wrong for pairing Kai up with Ben, handling their relationship quite poorly.

I already mentioned these videos before, but I again recommend checking out these videos by Sarcastic Chorus. They do an excellent, if not perfect, job of going in greater depth on why Ben's relationships with Julie and Kai didn't work.

Yesterday morning, Mateusboga finished up another commission for me. This one is another version of the redesigned Ben 10,000 commission that the artist made for me a few years ago. This version covers a Ben 10,000 that's more of a closer reflection of the Ben 10,000 from the Ben 10,000 episode of the Original Series in regards to him being a shell of his former self.

This artwork has also been added to the gallery of all my Ben 10 commissions as well. If anyone is interested in checking out the other stuff that Mateusboga made for me, here's the link to it.

Feel free to check out Mateusboga's other works as well and even give him a follow. He continues to make some great artwork and deserves more attention and support for it.
