Well not everyone. We also do have a plot for the next Ben 10 show, which is that Ben, Gwen, and Max go on their summer road trip and Ben finds the Omnitrix. It's the same premise as the Original Series and it was mentioned back during the announcements of this very show.

I can see why people have those very negative views towards the next Ben 10 show and even towards Omniverse before it came out. Alien Force was seen as a disappointment for many. One of the biggest problems wasn't that Alien Force was dark, serious, and mature because the Original Series was also really dark, serious, and mature. The problem for many was that it was too dark, serious, and mature and was missing that aspect of the Original Series where it was light, colorful, fun, and comedic. Alien Force felt more like a DC show when, much like the Original Series and in my opinion, it should've been more like a Marvel show. The writers then decided to try and make Ultimate Alien more like the Original Series and it didn't work out well mostly becasue Ultimate Alien was just so slow with its story and was just filled with filler episodes. Ultimate Alien was basically a boring filler show. You also have to add in Cartoon Network's obsession for selling Ben 10 toys and merchandise, which many fans and viewers got so tired of pretty quickly. Like I mentioned before, Ultimate Alien's toy sales did so bad that barely anyone wanted to buy and sell Omniverse toys.

Constant disappointments with each of the sequel shows and a sheer overabundance of advertising and selling toys and merchandise. I can see why many hated Omniverse before it even came out and why it's the same for this next Ben 10 show. People are sick and tired of Ben 10. Barely anyone even asked for another Ben 10 show. More viewers wanted for shows like Courage the Cowardly Dog, Young Justice, Kids Next Door, and Samurai Jack to make a return on Cartoon Network than another Ben 10 show and the same went with the PPG reboot show as well. They're both just more blatant attempts for Cartoon Network trying to sell more merchandise considering that both Ben 10 and the PPG series were some of the most financially successful shows that Cartoon Network has ever had.

Another point that I want to make is that there is that saying "don't judge a book by its cover" but the thing is that most people do use that "x, y, z" mindset that I explained and you mentioned. Most people don't judge things before they come out. They do find their own reason behind having the very viewpoints that they form. Most people do look back at history and at what they know now to form their own opinions and interests. That includes those that you're mentioning. However, one problem that I have is that we're seeing the "what" of their opinions but we're not getting the "why" and I bet that's what you're seeing here. The "what" but not the "why." I do see a lot of what people's opinions are but I also want to see why they have those very opinions so that I can understand where they're coming from when forming these opinions and that's pretty much the problem that you've pointed out here. We're just not getting enough of the "why" here. People formed those opinoins for a reason and I want to know what those reasons are. Once I understand their viewpoints, that's when I decide whether those very viewpoints are justifiable or not. At least that's my take on this.
