All I can say is that I liked the show. I will admit that I did like UAF for a more mature Ben, but I didn't like it for not revisiting all of his old Aliens. I hated UA's intro because it showed Frankenstrike but he was not in the show. Not to mention that I wasn't too keen on the Ultimates. I disliked Omniverse at first due to the new animation and how non-consistent it was with the prior series. But overtime, it grew on me. Not to mention Rook did too. It was a gamble just like Gwen and Kevin being together and the Ultimates. We all know which one of the two actually worked. But Omniverse did revive the series.

I must confess that I didn't like Ball-weevil or Bloxx when they were debut, but they became useful. But there were a lot of things that Omniverse did right that UAF did wrong. Like bringing back more past characters from the original and finally giving answers to unanswered questions. Like how Kevin even met Argit, why Kevin's car was still running (though Paradox giving Kevin one straight from the 1970's does cause a dispute), how Pierce and Helen were siblings despite their Alien heritage being different (though I didn't like the retcon, this made more sense), how Pierce and Helen knew Manny, a better estimate on when Ben was able to remove the original Omnitrix, how Vulkanis ended up in the robitc suit, Phil's fate after the OS, and how Kevin spent his time in the Null Void after breaking out of prison. Not to mention what happened to Kai.

Sadly, there were things I didn't like at first. Like Ben and Julie broke up, too many love interests, Rook and his truck, the Nemitrix in general, Zs'Skayr's new look, Vilgax without all the powers he had in UAF, Ma Vreedle in general, Albedo's look being a mirror of UAF Ben, the change of tone in the series, Rad Dudesman, the true origins of the Plumber's Helpers being retconned, and Zombozo being more like and actual Zombie. With the exception of Ma Vreedle being so powerful that Vilgax is afraid of her, it all grew on me.

Overall, Omniverse just barely sets the bar in comparison to AF to me. I did watch the original when it came out, but I liked that Ben was more mature. In UA, the maturity waned and in Omniverse at first... the maturity from AF flew out the window almost as far as it did for Ash in Pokemon Best Wishes. But unlike Pokemon Best Wishes, they didn't need to make another series for me to like the show again. Omniverse repaired it's own damage and that of it's predecessor. I'd have to say that it's practically at the top for me with AF, just barely. But far above UA, and only followed by the OS. I know not too many people are going to agree with me, but it's how I see it. Bright side, some will agree that UA was the worst.
