They are literally removing every great contribution that Dwayne McDuffie made to this series. It reminds me of Sliders when different people were put in charge and the show was destroyed. And there's no reversing this mess unless they double back and retcon all of Omniverse. Me? I'm just going to stop watching and let the series end at the AF finale in my headcanon.

They aren't undoing it, they are bringing back a lot of original series stuff, while still incorperating UAF things. You do realize that original series fans said the exact same thing you just said when AF came out right? Everytime anything changes at all in any franchise, there are always people like you. ^Pretty much. The funny thing about this series is that every new iteration is “the worst thing they ever done” until the next one comes around. Then the last “worst thing ever” isn’t so bad anymore. The worst thing about the whole Osmosian is that it makes Kevin’s whole back story convoluted, but other than that, they are just trying to bring it around to how it was in the OS. Which is why I’m not bothered with the idea in itself. imo, it was AF that got all weird and for some strange reason they decided to all of a sudden make everyone aliens. Ben was a normal human who became a human/Anodite hybrid who didn‘t receive powers because reasons, but Anodites don’t have DNA so not really, but he’s biologically related to the species, but not really sort of…thing. Gwen was a normal human who became a human/Anodite with powers even though she’s biologically all human because Anodites don’t have DNA, but she has powers and an Anodite form because…reasons. She spent years teaching herself magic just to find out that being “made out of mana” meant that magic was her birth right and took away from her efforts a bit. Kevin was a mutant who became an alien because…reasons. And etc, etc, etc, y’all get it. Omni is trying to clean up a mess that was really started way back in AF because they decided to make non alien characters, alien hybrids for some reason. On top of that, they brought in a bunch of new hybrid characters, which in itself isn’t bad, but kind of jarring when considering that hybrids were almost never brought up in the OS, if at all. All in all, I don’t mind the changes. It’s kind of convoluted, but I don’t find all that much wrong with it.
