I get it, Skurd's a good thing, but you needed Ben to fight Vilgax to prove that? The guy who couldn't beat Ben when he was ten years old? The guy who got powers from 10 champions from across the galaxy and still couldn't beat Ben, and he absolutely NEEDED Skurd in order to win?

I don't believe it.

I mean Vilgax even challenged him to turn into any alien, and it wouldn't matter. So if Ben had become Way Big, Gravattack or Alien X, it wouldn't of mattered? He even turned into Whampire, but rather than stick Vilgax with one of his mind controlling Bat things, Ben went calling for Skurd. It's ridiculous!

I get that they are trying to endear Skurd to us, and make us like him, but this was not the way to do it. I tolerated Skurd way easier when he was just a smart alec parasite that gave Ben some new abilities to play with, but when they're trying to force the idea that Ben has saved the universe on multiple occasions, and now, to beat an enemy he has defeated repeatedly in the past, no matter what he tried, that Ben absolutely NEEDS Skurd, is just atrocious writing.

yeah Malgax beating Atomix and Ben needing Skurd felt forced ,althougth over all liked the episode.
