Well, what made the 10-year-old Ben great wasn't that he was silly. It was that he was fun-loving, impulsive, and egocentric yet also showed a great level of maturity, seriousness, and tactical/strategic and quick thinking. He was able to be entertaining and fun while also being able to grow up, develop as a character, and improve himself to be a better hero. To constantly learn on what it really takes to be a true hero. That's what made Ben great and that's what Cartoon Network truly missed out on him. We can have a fun and entertaining yet mature and serious 16-year-old Ben and it really would be great but Cartoon Network screwed up on the balance of that.

It would likely have been better if Cartoon Network just let Man of Action stick around and make Ben 10 Hero Generation instead of replacing them with new writers and making Alien Force. I believe Hero Generation was supposed to be the sequel to the Original Series that we were supposed to get but Cartoon Network screwed us and Man of Action out of.
