Young Justice, Sym-Bionic Titan, all of DC Nation... they suffered because they didn't have stellar ratings. CN sets their standards too high, at about where their other walking trash heaps go (which for whatever reason get 2-4 times more viewers episode on episode than those shows where the team behind it even barely put work into it), so the views of only 1 million or so for each of those shows just wasn't enough to keep them up. TV, especially channels like Nick, Disney and CN, is on a rapid decline for general viewership (at least with new episodes on TV rather than online streaming), but CN pretty much doesn't care and never will. I'm telling you now: if CN does anything with Ben 10 after Omniverse it will be smear as much of it in a Teen Titans Go fashion so that we all abandon hope and belonging to this fandom.

(You know, if you haven't already done one or both of those things.) Forgot about Sym-Bionic Titan, though that one is actually closer to Ben 10. The reason it was cancelled, or so I heard, was low toy sales. As we know Ben 10 toys have declined and not sold well since the end of Ultimate Alien. It could be something similar to that.

At the same time they cancel good shows they green light gosh-awful shows and allow them to run on forever and ever. Yes, all three networks are in decline because this is what they all do and the likelihood of Ben 10 becoming the next Teen Titans Go is, unfortunately just as probable for a fifth series as anything else.

These are all facts. So, knowing and being able to use these facts we have to find the answer to this question: Is there in any possible way Cartoon Network may try and preserve the franchise? If so in what form and at what time.

At this point I'm talking in circles, scratch all that. Main point, Cartoon Network needs to get their act together. LIke I said once before, the writers can start graphic novel trilogies that take place after Omniverse ends. I would love to see more of Kai, Ben and Rook.
