Derpyrebound: Agree. Race Against Time and Alien Swarm, at least in my opinion, backs your point up here. For me, I just don't know about a live-action Ben 10 movie. One major problem that I believe this movie would have are the aliens. Ben 10 is known for having many unique alien designs that make the aliens look like actual aliens (most of the aliens from the sequel shows are an exception though because of their more humanoid design) and thus provide a more unique feel and touch to their designs. That's all possible because Ben 10 is a cartoon show where everything is done in animation. Movies are a different story. It would be difficult to portray many aliens such as Heatblast, Four Arms, Stinkfly, Wildvine, Cannonbolt, and Upgrade in practical effects because their designs don't really match well with actors being in costumes. As for CGI, people can perceive what is real and what is fake quite well, which is why many prefer practical effects over CGI. If done wrong, viewers can see through the CGI effects and realize that the aliens on screen aren't really there in the scenes and that they're just animations that were inserted in the live-action scenes, which would feel really out of place and thus break the immersion of the films greatly. It would be better to make a Ben 10 movie through animation than live-action because of certain factors such as the designs of the aliens. I don't know if I properly explained this though but the point I'm trying to get here is that there are certain and major factors that can make production of a Ben 10 live-action movie quite difficult to pull off and the designs of the aliens are one of those very factors that can greatly affect this movie and its production.
