Yeah, I don't see Ben as brooding and stoic that much.

Also, yes, Lowenthal was picked to voice a more mature and serious Ben but the thing is that that's not what made Ben such a great character in the first place and that's not what many, if not most, fans truly want from Ben in Alien Force and Ultimate Alien and the same goes with Omniverse. Fans want the Original Series Ben. Not the sequels Ben. Fans don't truly want a Ben who is nothing but serious and mature. In fact, Ben being serious and mature in Alien Force discredits him as a character because the episode "Ben 10,000" shows that Ben doesn't want to become that type of person because he saw who and what he would become if he were to shape himself into being a very serious character and Ben did not like that at all. Fans also don't want the Omniverse Ben due to how immature and idiotic he was.

What made Ben great in the first place (especially in the Original Series) was that he has that impulsive, egocentric, and fun-loving nature that made him such an entertaining and fun character to have but he also shows a lot of maturity and seriousness as well as also growing up and developing and making improvements when being a hero. That is what made Ben great and that is how Ben should be.

Yes, Lowenthal did do his intended role but it's not a good role because it doesn't fit the type of character that Ben really is. Therefore, that is what I don't want in the reboot. To have anything about Ben that reflects the sequel shows. I don't want Ben to just be mature and serious and to just be cocky and impulsive and egocentric. I want Ben to be both a serious and fun character in the show.
