9. What do you mean by rasta? Either way Omniverse aliens are a lot more unique than Ultimate Alien ones who gave us another eating alien an upgrading, destroying tech alien. How is that creative when you have Upchuck and Upgrade? and...oh goodness no! NO! Must I mention FASTTRACK!!!!! XLR8 rip off if I've ever seen anything as a rip off! Yeah last time I looked that was originality at it's best.

From the top, I guess topic 0. Ben doesn't always have an easy time defeating the villain. Khyber, in the first season came close to capping him a lot. Malware almost killed him, the Incurseans actually won and took over the Earth. Vilgax and Eon (just Vilgax) actually erased him and every other Ben, except the No Watch Ben from existence. Albedo got Azmuth's brain and would've won had he not realized he was wrong and Ben get a more powerful alien. I don't really see a pattern of Ben having a hard time defeating villains here. As for the humor, what of it? Ben 10 OS had humor. Omniverse gets dark when it needs to, get emotional when it needs to, whereas any UAF joke was either not funny or just bland. (Some were funny) Even in one of their arguably most dark moments the trying not to be humorous made it into a pale joke where in Omniverse, they're funny because the writers know that's how the characters are. The writing is not lazy, it's very well thought out and put into concise stories that are great and memorable.

On the entire subject, you seem to be ranting because Omniverse doesn't fit your flavor. It's not what you want now. To that I say go pick another cartoon, heck, go pick another TV show for that matter, maybe Gotham or something with a dark twist. Omniverse is not the worst of all the series, it's by far the second best, and would the best had the original series not set up everything Omniverse uses.

The fact that Lucy and so many other characters we haven't seen since the original series, including Ben's aliens make reappearences in Omniverse. Ultimate Alien promised us every alien ever and only gave us about a quarter of them. Omniverse has given us all of them save three, an overused Ultimate Alien, Alien Force flyer, a stealth lizard and an XLR8 knock off. Not to mention they have flashbacks of when Ben was younger, the biggest piece of respect to the old series you'll ever get.

For what it's worth I'm not trying to convert you to my way of thinking. If anything, posting about your cons has made me at least understand (a bit) why you are so angry, or at least let's gives me the strength to tolerate this thread a bit more. If anything I want you to see that not always are things just good and bad. Omniverse has had some pitfalls and some struggles but so have all the series, but you take them in stride. That's what it means to be a fan, to appreciate it, even when it's bad, or not your cup of tea.

That's my opinion any way. So to the title of this thread I pick the Omniverse side. And on the subject of your English I think you speak it pretty amazing for someone who doesn't have it for a first language. ;)
