It's really awful to me, an obvious attempt to use a pre-existing brand name to create another generic comedy show. The reason why Ben 10 was so special for a while was because it was one of the only good action shows still on TV, even though Omniverse was silly, it was still action-based at heart.

Every joke in the episode I saw fell flat, it seemed like they were just jamming in every cliche gag that they could think of, and it was painfully unfunny because you could either see them coming from a mile away, or they were just jokes you've heard a million times before in other, proabably better shows.

There's no character here either, the semi-intersting dynamic between Ben and Gwen is gone and replaced with the extremely generic "two dumb kids who are friends where one is dumber than the other" formula that almost every show uses these days. Max also isn't anybody anymore, just the parent figure that takes Ben and Gwen to their wacky adventures.

It's even got the "cartoon network style" of character designs and animation, something that even Scooby Doo seems to have defected to these days just because shows like that are popular.

Overall, I don't care. I'm not wasting my time with anymore of this crap. It's generic cartoon network show Ben 10 style, airing right next to generic cartoon network show Scooby Doo style and other "classics". Until these networks realise that the reason why there popular and well-made comedy shows work I fear that we're just going to get more and more of these, anything that isn't comdey is rare for cartoons these days and shows like this aren't making it any better.
