I can understand that some people don't support it, but I don't see why most of you are completely against it. I'm the kind of person who needs an explanation for everything that doesn't make sense, so the fact that they addressed this issue is great in my opinion.

In case you aren't sure what's going on, I'll explain for you. Apparently, the varying animation style each series is explained by the Celestialsapiens making celestial changes within the universe. We saw a similar event in the episode "So Long, And Thanks For All the Smoothies". When Alien X reconstructed the universe minor changes could be noticed, such as Mr. Smoothys and Ben's jacket.

Many people seem to be addressing the argument "In Ben 10: Omniverse, why are flashbacks shown in the Omniverse art style if that isn't how it happened", so I'll explain. When Alien X caused a celestial change within the universe in the episode "So Long, And Thanks For All the Smoothies" no character seemed to show any significant knowledge of any changes, so it would seem as if each character's memory is updated to comply with the logic of the celestial change, so when we see flashbacks in Ben 10: Omniverse, we are seeing them as if they occurred under the current circumstances.

If you have any questions about this, just ask me, and I'll try and give you the most logical response possible.

I don't think that most people are complaining based on their honest opinion, rather than nostalgia of the previous series. As most of you know, a majority of Ben 10 fans haven't been accepting Ben 10: Omniverse as something new. Instead, they've been comparing it to Ben 10: Alien Force and Ben 10: Ultimate Alien, because that is what they're most familiar with. I'm quite sure that most complaints are coming from those who still refuse to accept Ben 10: Omniverse. ^This guy gets what being a fan of a program is all about. You don't see Whovians complaining about a new doctor or a new monster design (well you do at first but true Whovians see the potential in any actor that takes on the role of the Doctor, I think Capaldi will be brilliant) or true Pokémon fans complaining about new Pokémon designs or Mega Evolutions do you (again, you do but they warm to the new Pokémon/form after a while)?

I will admit that I have not seen all the Original Series but I have all of Alien Force on DVD (and seen the all the episodes a few times) and I have seen all of the Omniverse episodes that in English. I like each series as they are all different and something different to offer. You should see OS, you will undestand a lot better somethings...
