And the constant flashbacks are an other sign. I think they wanted to go back in the timeline so the series remains popular among the younger audience and also they probably wanted a show, more carefree about a younger Ben. why not but then they should hv done a kind of "origin sequel" that'd take splace before UA in the time line. what they did instead is unlogic, and a betrayal of the previous sequel. But well, maybe they'll fix all that in a next sequel, I really hope so All those things you sugested are things that should've been done by Alien Force or Ultimate Alien. Look, it took until UA for it to be explained why Kevin went nuts when he was 11. Arguably Alien Force could be called a betrayal of the original.

And character development was all over the place in UA. Ben is friends with Kevin. Ben thinks Kevin needs to be killed. Ben is friends with Kevin in the same episode. That's just one example, but it onvolves our main characters' relationships.
