Scooby Doo has always been more of a silly comedy series. That's what helped define it during it's lifespan. Well that and the adventure/mystery elements. Be Cool, Scooby Doo continues that traditional formula of being a mystery/adventure/comedy series. Scooby Doo is supposed to be stupid and silly. As for the Powerpuff Girls series, action/comedy is the show's style that helped define it.

However, with Ben 10, it's a different story. Ben 10 was originally and is supposed to be an action series. The comedic elements that the Original Series had, in my opinion, was there to keep the show entertaining when there isn't any action happening. That's one of the reasons that I could think up for comedy elements being in Ben 10. Comedy in Ben 10 was more of an add on. It was there but it wasn't a main genre focus but comedy did greatly contribute to giving the series its energy and entertainment. Yet again, comedy in Ben 10 was and is not the main focus of the series.

When Omniverse came around, It had a greater focus on comedy than action and look what happened. There may be fans of Omniverse but that show still received more hate than like. Omniverse showed that having a major focus on comedy does not work for Ben 10 and the same goes with Teen Titans and Teen Titans Go. Omniverse tried to go back to the Original Series formula but in my opinion, it deviated away even further from that formula.

If that's what you like about Ben 10, that's fine. What you think and like is all up to you. Can the Ben 10 reboot work as a comedy show? Yes, it can if done right. However, what defined Ben 10 more was the action elements with some elements of comedy to help keep the fun and energy in the series up. Ben 10 is supposed to be an action series with some elements of comedy added to it. The Ben 10 reboot needs to be an action show. Not a stupid and silly comedy show. That's my take on this.

Besides, look what happened with the Teen Titans series when Teen Titans Go was made. TTG is considered by most of CN's audience as one of the worse and most hated shows on the channel and with good and very obvious reasons why. Do you really want CN to do to Ben 10 what they did with Teen Titans? I certainly don't and so do many, if not most, other fans of the Ben 10 series.
