Now that all of season 3 has aired, I know it's been a while and it's a dumb thing to act this petty and return in a topic that was left away, even for something as trivial as that but...

@Ungrateful-Wolf said in Ben 10 reboot discussion: Season 3:

I AM SERIOUSLY FREAKED OUT
IS IT JUST ME OR
THERE WAS A LOT OF FORESHADOWING FOR THE KNIGHT
BECAUSE

And he has been trying to use or recruit Ben for some evil plan. If we've been building up to this for the past two seasons...
Please let Ben be okay, please have the evil jerk recruit him peacefully without torture...

@Offbeatcat said in Ben 10 reboot discussion: Season 3:

i love the idea. I really do. But as this is the reboot, i don't think they were ever trying to make this an overarching story. it's merely a string of coincidences. We can't get our hopes up YET.

Ha

Haha

HAHAHA

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

Again, I really am sorry for acting this petty but

I've been here for over a year, when I started to be more outgoing on social media.

I've been wanting to participate in the fandom ever since I got back into it, so I decided to join Ben 10 Club.
But now, the community around here is just so... dull, empty, toxic.
I feel there's nothing left here for me anymore. There's no discussion about headcanons, no fanart sharing, no fanfic talk, nothing you usually find in a fandom.
No theories, no talk about which toys we'd get. Recently, there's only like, 2 or 3 other people still using the website, and all there has been was complaining recently.

This isn't about the reboot, the writers or the show itself. This is just about this website. There's nothing else I can find, nothing else to talk about when all the current stuff there is is just complaining. There's nothing keeping me in here anymore. I'll still be available on other places but, this will be the last message I'll be posting on this website for a while.

This was Ungrateful-Wolf, and I'm sorry.

Goodbye.

@offbeatcat He didn't mean to be sarcastic, he just made a joke since 14 and 90 are really the extreme cases for age where they won't take him seriously.

just a theory at this point, nothing crazy

@tactical-ochoa No, no official source. But when at least three Kevin aliens confirm it and when two of Ben's aliens also apply, it becomes a solid theory. Kinda surprised you're paying attention to something that trivial.

Unless you're talking about Bashmouth, in which case I was just giving an opinion when I said I believed he was Rath's rival

I'll be honest, I feel like they're more taking old unused ideas, or unusually strange ideas, and sometimes saying "sure, why the hell not?" Not in a negative way, a neutral one.

@cooljay7 That's because Kevin's aliens are all based on band and music names.
Quad Smack = SMACK (finnish band)
Bashmouth = Smash Mouth (band)
Black Ice = Black Eyed Peas (band)
Wreckingbolt = Wrecking Ball (song by Miley Cyrus)
Hot Shot = Hotshot (band)

You'll notice Ben himself has two reboot original aliens with that theme naming too: Shock Rock (music genre) and Slapback (sound term).

For Black Ice, let's be honest, we all heard the complaint that Diamondhead's powers in the reboot looked too much like ice powers at least once. The writers acknowledged that and used it to name Diamondhead's copy.
Also, as mutated Kevin's aliens can be, I really don't feel Bashmouth is an Appoplexian. He looks more like a werewolf like Blitzwolfer than a tiger or any anthropomorphic feline. (I do believe he is Rath's rival tho)

Maybe because they were still trying to get their footing and weren't expecting to make a masterpiece at first try with OS, so they didn't make it too complicated because the show was still at the start of a franchise and things weren't expected to be too big?

I know he's supposed to parallel Rath, but that one seems more canine than feline imo.
Plus, the wiki kiiiiiiiiiiinda already accepted him as a Loboan anyway
https://ben10.fandom.com/wiki/Kevinwolf

I THINK that's meant to be a reboot Blitzwolfer, not sure tho

Which episodes? The ones we've been talking about?
I don't really know, they're on the app, but you can easily find them online now

Uhhhhh, guys, maybe we should wait until they explain it in the show proper instead? Asking for answers now would maaaaaaaaybe be spoiling us if they have something in mind. For example, the Omni-Enhancements weren't really explained until Glitch said they were a side-effect of the Fulmini DNA absorbing the Omnitrix's excessive charge.
Plus, I don't think fans are usually supposed to get answers from show writers right away like that... It usually takes some more time.

@offbeatcat Vilgax managed to create a spaceship out of rusty cars from an abandoned car factory (as well as provide Zombozo with the right tech to mass hypnotize). Animo also managed to apply Omnitrix DNA samples to himself in "Animorphosis" thanks to his knowledge in genetics and technology, Kevin doesn't surprise me that much in his way of pulling stuff of nowhere.
Plus, as we all know, Kevin is famous for stealing. I think it'd be in-character for him to take that tech away if he finds it, he has a talent for taking stuff that doesn't belong to him, or acquiring it illegally (even though he's still just a kid and pretty harmless aside from being a bully).
Whatever tech Kevin needs, it apparently wouldn't be that hard to acquire it on Earth as long as he has the right knowledge to make use of it. Aliens knew how to make basic Earth tech into war machines, Kevin could do something similar with the blueprints (wonder WHY those were sent to him. What is Kevin in this universe beside Ben's school bully?)

Oooooooh, Ben vs Gax would be amazing! Not only do we have a "pseudo-Vilgax" that way, but Ben would be fighting his favorite 11th alien!

Also, I THINK there's a possible explanation as to how Kevin acquired the samples, though I'll wait for the show to confirm it or prove me wrong:

As we saw in Innervasion, when Ben put a piece of Fulmini armor in a pod, it sampled it and allowed him to become Shock Rock. All he needs was a piece of the alien to turn into said alien's species.
This means that all Kevin has to do, is to look for alien samples on the planet. And considering Ben left QUITE the damage and the bits here and there during his combats, he must've left a fair amount of DNA samples roaming around. Diamondhead, Wildvine, Stinkfly... They all left their marks here and there around the country using their powers. It's possible that Kevin followed Ben's progress around the country and sampled his aliens from Ben's own roster. All I wonder is which ones he didn't sample, and which ones he did beside Cannonbolt (for Wreckingbolt)

@offbeatcat Yep, Kevin built that thing after receiving the blueprints in a dream. The current design is the one he drew after getting the plans through his mind, but he knew enough about technology to modify the way the aliens work and give them "upgrades", making them close to Albedo's OV ultimates.
Also, if you didn't watch the episode yet, the reason why he's after Ben is because... Ben and Kevin are actually classmates, and Kevin has been bullying Ben during fourth grade whenever he had the occasion. In class, during lunch, study hour or even at the bathroom (Ben is scared of public bathrooms because of Kevin).
Also, check out this fun callback

(he even got the shoes!)

Shock Rock was a major security risk because he kept sending signals to his planet.
The reason why he did that was because of an unforeseen consequence when Glitch used his pod to repair the Omnitrix.
When the Omnitrix got upgraded, the damage that was done was caused by an excessive energy charge, which Shock Rock's pod allowed to absorb. Shock Rock's pod was charged with the excessive energy from the entirety of the Omnitrix, meaning the Fulmini pod had the energy of the Omnitrix's alien pods too. That's why Ben's aliens had the Omni-Enhancements in season 2. And of course, since we all know the Omnitrix can leave a signal across space (as the past shows showed), Shock Rock's pod sent signals, and in return it made him more vulnerable to Override's messages and control.
Now that the Omnitrix got rebooted, Shock Rock's DNA doesn't have the excessive charge from the Omnitrix anymore (hence why we don't see the Omni-Enhancements anymore). Shock Rock's link to Fulmas and Override is broken, Ben can use him as he wishes to (man, this kid handles being turned into a mind slave better than I can handle school. Jk of course :P)
Shock Rock isn't a danger anymore now, Ben won't have to worry about losing a powerhouse like Gax (but he did lose a smart guy, a fresh guy and a natural guy. RIP my bois)

Yeah. We also don't know if he has Ben's original reboot roster or the current one, as well who the 11th is.

It's exactly what I mean, "we'll see".
This is what I find fun whenever there's a new show, theorizing and finding a pattern allows for more suspense and potential surprise for the fans, even if it doesn't go anywhere.

That's a BIG string of coincidences if you ask me.
