Thank you and again, this is really something that Ben 10 fans truly want. I've been trying to build up enough support to convince CN to not take the current approach to the reboot and instead take the approach that I just described.

Also, honestly, I don't like the Gwen and Kevin pairing because it just makes absolutely no sense. Think about it. Kevin was a psychopathic maniac that tried to kill Ben, Gwen, and Max on numerous occasions and even went so far as to team up with Vilgax, their greatest enemy, to try and kill Ben again. The way that they implemented Kevin into an ally and Gwen as his girlfriend in Alien Force was so badly implemented. It was too quick and was just forced too. It would have took months for Ben and Gwen to even give Kevin their trust considering what he did to them. I don't even think that Man of Action intended to put Gwen and Kevin together too, let alone make him an ally for Ben and Gwen. It just ended up doing more damage to the series and because it makes no sense whatsoever, this pairing just really has no credit to it and just doesn't work.

Surprising and strangely enough, most fans actually wanted Ben and Gwen to be romantically together. When I first found out about this, I thought it was pretty weird but after a lot of thought put into this concept, it actually makes the most amount of sense for the show. There are just so many factors about Ben and Gwen that all leads up to this. I even think that Man of Action even wanted and intended for this cousin romance approach between Ben and Gwen to happen and this concept also being the very reason why Cartoon Network replaced Man of Action with new writers and why Gwen was paired up with Kevin. I'm trying to ask Man of Action about that. Other than that, considering how Ben and Gwen's relationship had developed in the Original Series, as long as this concept of pairing them together is done the right way, it will greatly improve their relationship and provide much more benefits to the show than harm. Not everyone agrees with this but most Ben 10 fans really did want a Ben and Gwen pairing and I can very much see how this can work. It's not completely necessary to put in but it can very much work to such great benefits for the series.
