I HATED the cartoon style and I also hope that they don't continue to dumb down the personalities. I don't really like OS syle but UAF is perfect for this show. But unfortunately Ben might possibly be stuck with his new attitude. I hated UAF. It took itself WAY to seriously. It is a show about a guy with a watch that turns him into alliens. That is a concept that does not fit a dark and serious concept. It is a premise better suited for an action/comedy like the original series and Omniverse (Both of which I gave a 8.9 out of 10, while I gave UAF a 2.1 out of 10.

It can have more serious and dark moments which were mixed in well, and kept at just the right level in both OS an OV, but when it takes itself to seriously it becomes really boring like UAF.

I just rewatched War of the Worlds, and I think Alien Force and Ultimate Alien had a lot of humor, just not slapstick. ;) It was more of the dialogue that had the humor, rather than the actions. I like serious shows, but not dark ones. Alien Force balanced itself well, but Ultimate Alien got carried away. Also, I really think Ben 10 should get the writers from Young Justice to write a possible new series. That series had extremely rich plots.
