However, a teenager/adult is never always immature, just like a kid is never always mature. 10/11 year-old Ben in Ultimate Alien was serious because the situation called for it. If the fate of the Universe were at stake, are you honestly telling me you believe any kid - even one who's literally a superhero and has been saving the world plenty of times - would still act immature during the whole ordeal?

He never convinced me that he was the same kid from the original series. He was aggressive and annoying. They tried to balance his immaturity with he saying the new aliens are lame and gwen got a big butt.

He would act immature but wouldn't be immature. He doesn't need to convince you. Everything he did is justified by basic human psychology. When things go down the drain, people put on their "big boy/girl pants" and deal with it maturely. Either that or they completely break down and die. For obvious reasons, this latter scenario couldn't be shown.
