I completely forgot about the reboot until today, I marathoned most of the episodes and was sad to see that I was correct in my assumptions of the series. While it does have some nostalgic moments, that doesn't make up for the fact that the show went completely downhill, both plot wise and character wise. Ben isn't intelligent in the slightest, like, at all, I would have rather had a "Supernatural" style monster of the week leading up to a big bad etc... It would be way easier as well, as with the different art style they could incorporate more fantasy elements (such as Dragons, Phoenixes, Magical Creatures, Cryptids etc... being non-alien earth entities, that Ben still has to fight, or maybe the Omnitrix can take DNA from them anyway), alot could have been done with a reboot but wasn't. It sort of makes me sad to see the series go this route, pandering to the kids who like Steven Universe, and Adventure Time, instead of pandering to the fourteen and fifteen-year-olds that grew up with the show, and would still watch it if given enough motivation.
