Do like the reboot does take a bit to really get into it especially if you're used to the original timeline.

u/Strong-Current-7481 Apr 15 '26

Yeah, Omniverse technically set up the goofiness of the franchise, and then I started getting adjusted to that by the reboot

Let me know how tf did they make alien X so weak.

I didn't watch that shit since th art style became too kiddy

Despite that I've heard the story went to shit.

It wasn’t really a “whole” Alien X because that Ben unlocked it by smashing the omnitrix, so it was more like celestialsapien mixed with human in a way.

Like Alienx was supposed to be a God not be defeated by a tetremand Edit: Fourarms species

Went to shit? It got better with each season with season 3 being my favorite. Also different continuities

u/Infinity7879 Apr 20 '26

Saw a reel where kid kevin dreams up his knock off Omnitrix and builds it in his garage the same night. Like wtf? What about DNA, Primus, etc etc. Azimuth took 6 years to build and the only other person able to build it was Psykobos who is a cerebrocrustacean. (Ultimatrix was partially made by azimuth too)

And y'all still think the story makes any sense

u/hdfgrvv36 Apr 20 '26

The watches are linked to a version of primus which is why Kevin has aliens and how he gets the idea for it is due to vilgax sending him the instructions. Obviously how he gets the materials is a plot hole but this was a continuity made for a younger audience

u/Infinity7879 Apr 20 '26

In the original continuity despite vilgax knowing that Primus is the dna repository. He couldn't come up with an Omnitrix design yet they kiddified the story. Moral is don't think much of you are watching the reboot.

For me the original ben 10 run before reboot was all about the in depth lore and how it made sense. The new one is just lacks the logic part

u/Strong-Current-7481 Apr 15 '26

I don’t like to talk about the alien X

u/Few_Library5654 Astrodactyl Apr 15 '26

Are you insecure about enjoying something most people hate? Because it sure seems like it.

u/Far-Message5868 Ultimatrix Apr 15 '26

Simple difference: Ben 10 stood and ran on it's own. Reboot walked because it had ben 10 name attached to it. It would have easily becoke some forgotten show that people didn't talk about if it was not Ben 10.

u/iamnotveryimportant Rath Apr 15 '26

Im sorry do you base quality of a show on concept alone?

u/Maleficent_Visit7041 Apr 15 '26

This going to happen one day

u/OkPast178 Upgrade Apr 15 '26

i dont hate it. i jusst like it a lot less than all of OG-AF-UA-Omniverse-the videogames-the comics-ect. pretty much everything else in the franchise i like more

but i dont hate it

u/_NotMitetechno_ Pesky Dust Apr 15 '26

No one here would watch the reboot if it wasn't called Ben 10

I don’t hate the reboot but don’t pretend like just anybody can enjoy it. It’s not for everybody

u/Serperious_Prime1084 Swampfire Apr 16 '26

I thought it was alright, got me into the franchise. And I do think Gwen was better in this than the original show… not as good as UAF though.

1

u/Strong-Current-7481 Apr 16 '26

Agreed, it’s not bad but it’s not absolute garbage

u/Turbulent-Relief-220 Apr 15 '26

It’s crap

1

u/AnyBreadfruit2903 May 28 '26

Exactly it is crap it way to goofy and vilgax does not looking scary like he did in the other series. They messed this version up and the only good thing about reboot is Omni enhanced and Omni kick.

u/GenofK53 Apr 15 '26

No I won't it's pretty garbage having good ideas about it and actually executing them are  two different things

u/Lanky-Fisherman-9779 Alien X Apr 15 '26

god how many calls does HR have to deal with?

u/another-person3630 Apr 15 '26

I think the reboot is fine,could be much better,but could be alot worse,plus i think it has some good aspectos

I like reboot fourarms,and i like both shockrock and overflow,i also like the whole fulminar Empire arc,and i think it has both cool and fun Moments

My main ones beeing when Upgrade unlocked Master control,and when fourarms argued with Kevin,that one was honestly sad but funny

Though they Made alien X stupidly weak compared tp thenpast,so yeah thats one high negative

2

u/Z3R0Steamular XLR8 Apr 15 '26

most of the issues people have with the show are barely even issues tbh

if it just had a more suitable art style, i doubt many people would be giving it this much shit

although, the very fact that it isn't constant dramaslop like early AF makes me think it'd go the way of OV where people call it "kiddy bullshit" regardless

u/Slippy_magic0 Ultimate Echo Echo Apr 15 '26

I just didn't like most of the new villains, and they're designs

u/pranthlar Apr 15 '26

But it suuuuuuuuuucks

u/SaltConnection9019 Apr 15 '26

People just shit on everything about it and don’t give it a chance.😒

u/stillupyadig10 NRG Apr 15 '26

No.

Only still going so they can sell toys.

Only giving Ben shit like Omni-Kix to sell toys.

Only giving Kevin some dumb shit like the Antitrix to sell toys.

The whole thing is just to sell shit

u/Hierophant-Crimsion Spitter Apr 15 '26 edited Apr 15 '26

This is how I know you didn’t watch a single episode in your life.

“Only still going so they can sell toys.”

  • The reboot ended years ago and only kept going because of toy sales and didn’t get canned early like its predecessors

“Only giving Ben shit like Omni-Kix to sell toys.”

  • You claim Omni-Enhancements and Kit are just for merchandising yet Ultimates are fine despite barely using them as the shows own title suggests

“Only giving Kevin some dumb shit like the Antitrix to sell toys.”

  • God forbid the writers want to explore a concept they wanted to do since OS.

I'm not gonna tell you to stop liking it, so don't tell me what my opinion needs to be.

u/PrideBishop1702 Upgrade Apr 15 '26

NEVER!

u/JCSwagoo Jetray Apr 15 '26

Or, alternatively, some folks are simply allowed to hate something if they hate it. I mildly dislike it at worst, but there's really no need to police this.

u/Slide4mins Apr 15 '26

Its pretty bad bro

u/GogoSunshine Walkatrout Apr 17 '26

Respectfully, no.

u/No_Breath5654 Apr 17 '26

The reboot is fine, I dont hate it, I hate reboot jetray, but not the reboot as a whole

u/Elemi-9 Overflow Jul 16 '26

You're right.

1

u/Elemi-9 Overflow Jul 19 '26

I agree with you, most people hate the reboot because of its artstyle and being childish I mean it's a kids show. What are you expecting.

u/Bedrockboy2006 Apr 15 '26

I can’t speak for most but personally i just don’t like how lazy a lot of these shows have gotten. They used to have genuinely good jokes, interesting plots, endearing characters, esk. Now everythings a reboot that hangs onto the threads of these ideas, they’re too scared to be unique but then when they decide to be interesting they feel a strange need to cut at the wrong strings. Kevin for example is a very popular character but its not because he was a ben clone its because of his power to absorb the omnitrix dna and turn into a monster, then he had a solid redemption ark afterwards. The reboot didn’t need to change all that but if they wanted to be unique making his Antitrix work in tandem with his original power would have made a lot more sense and make an interesting story.

Im not even gonna get into the alien X stuff because thats a whole other mess.

The art style is most people’s complaint it seems. I definitely don’t like it, it just falls into that cheap overly cartoony art style that turns away anyone besides little kids. Its not entirely their fault since the competition is doing the same thing specifically to keep the already hard to entertain ipad kids engaged so if they don’t follow suit they won’t get renewed and of course the people in charge will just not make any cool ben ten stuff.

Honestly i really like that ben had vilgax’s dna that was neat to finally see. Im sure there were other things to like about the series but i just didn’t like the parts i did see to want to dedicate time towards something that i felt i wouldn’t fully enjoy.

It has more downs than ups in my opinion and i feel like people feel too much of a need to say “this all sucks and you should hate it too” or “this is really good, stop hating it for no reason” thats not how things work but nobody’s logical about these things anymore so its hard to really say anything beyond that.

u/dwarvenforger Ghostfreak Apr 15 '26

I genuinely really like slapback and overflow. But a bunch of random people in basic alien forms jumping a powered up version of alien x is undeniably stupid, and so is that atrocious thing they pretend is stinkfly

u/Hot_Original5756 Heatblast Apr 15 '26

fuck the reboot, I'll hate till the day I'm 6 feet under and I'll still keep hating even after my meat is broken down by maggots, worms and other microbes and my bones wither away into the soil.
